Theodore Roosevelt is not taken so Sc
rously in Washington as he seems to lie
in some other parts of the country, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Here il
has become established that a certain
amount of latitude of expression must be
allowed TO him if the government would
make use of his excellent qualities. Mr..
Roosevelt is permitted to say things which
would not pass urnoticed if a less worthy
man was SO outspoken. Some time before
the war began, while he was assistant sec
rotary of the navy, Mr.. Roosevelt could
hardly restrain his Impotence over what
he considered too deliberate progress of
the administration in bringing on the crisis
with Spain. In one of his occa sional Vo-
cal explosions he let out such a curdling
declaration as this:
1.-The blood of $4,000 murdered Cubans
lies at the door of the White House"
The statement that Mr.. Roosevelt had
employed such language about the admin
istration of which he was part was laid
before the President, with the suggestion
that 1t called for some rebuke.
mo" said the President, Il don't think
we had better pay any attention to it. We
may need this hot young blood later on"
And so ii turned out.

The stnte Tnx nnte.

The announcement that the state tax
rate this year will be 1921 on the $1,000 in
stead Of S5M, as it was last year, ought TO
cause no surprise. The people have been
demanding better public schools. and they
have felt that it was right to pay the
widows of Confederate veterans and also
Confederate veterans suffering from disa-
bilities. pensions, and they have practically
instructed their representatives. in the leg
stature to make provision for such pen
sions. The people ordered the increased
expenditure, and therefore it is safe to say
that they are ready 70 foot the bill. But
they do not want to pay any higher tax
rate than they can help Therefore they
are expecting Col. Gambler to point out
10 the legislature ways in which the tax
rate can be reduced.
1t is hardly probable that there is room
for reduction Of the appropriation for
pensions or for the public schools or the
maintenance Of the state government, but
there are two things which can be done
that would help TO reduce the tax rate.
one is to provide for biennial sessions of
the legislature, and another is to establish
a board for the equalization of assess
ments Biennial sessions of the legisla-
ture would save the state about $4,000 a
year. and a board for the equalization of
assessments would increase the tax re-
turns in a large number of the counties.
We cannot say, of course, how greatly the
tax returns would be increased, but it is
safe to assume that the increase would
amount TO millions of dollars Only about
a third of the counties now pay into the
treasury more than they draw out of it
for pension and school purposes. AS long
as this condition of affairs lasts it is APP
parent that the tax rate must be high.
In this county, and perhaps in some
other counties, property is assessed at its
full market value. There is com
plant in this city that in many
instances property is assessed for
more than it would bring at
public cutlery Is there any reason why
property should be assessed at its market
value in Chatham county and at half, or
less than half, it's market value in a ma
jority of the other counties? There is no
reason, and it is remarkable that the coun-
ties which bear all the burdens of the
state government do not protest vigorous
ly against the injustice.
1t may be the purpose of Col. Gambler
10 take the matter up when he becomes
Governor and urge upon the legislature
the imperative necessity for correcting the
wrong that is being done a large part of
the peODle of the state II Is oP course
an unpopular thing TO do, but as il is the
right thing, and as Col Gamblers speeches
permit the inference that he intends to do
the right thing, it is fair to assume that
he win do il

1t is not generally known that Col
w. F. Cody received the name Buffalo
Bill" from the fact that he had the con-
tract to supply meat TO the men who were
constructing the Kansas Pacific Railroad
and that he almost always gave them buff
fa!o meat.
Dan DAILY, now a Union Pacific section
hand in Kansas, was gunner's mate of the
Baltimore under Capt. Schley when that
vessel carried the body of Capt. Ericsson

A number of private soldiers of the vol
unteer army have written to the Chatta-
nooga Times that, the war being over, they
desire to be mustered out so that they
may return to their business. They say
that they did not enlist to do garrison
or police duty, but to fight" and that
nearly all of those who are anxious to
go to Cuba or Porto Rico are the OFF,
GERS who are drawing good salaries, and
not the private soldiers. The Macon Tel
egraph suggests, with regard to the Geor-
gia volunteers, that inasmuch as the vol
unteer army is to be reduced, it would be
well to poll the privates of the three regi-
ments and form a new regiment of those
who wish TO remain in the service. allow
ing the others to return home. The trOu-
BILE about this plan would be the difficulty
of selecting the officers for the new regi-
ments without giving offense to the OFF,
GERS of the old ones that would be left
out.

The only street signs to be seen any
where on Oglethorpe avenue read in large,
but dingy letters, South Broad Street"
That, however, appears to be in keeping
with the spirit of Savannah in so far as
marking the street corners is concerned
1t is almost a matter of impossibility for
a stranger in this city to find any place
which may be sought for without the aid
of a guide who has lived here a very
long time and is familiar with all of the
landmarks. There are persons who have
lived in Savannah five years or more who
could not if their lives depended on it,
call the names of the streets from Bay
to New Houston correctly and in consecu-
tive order. They have never seen the
names of the streets, have seldom heard
them mentioned, and consequently have
never learned them. Some few of the
principal streets they have learned be-
cause they are asphalted because of the
double rows of trees, or because of some
other prominent landmarks. This go
ing it blind" may be well enough for a
country village, but it is not the proper
sort of thing in a large city like Savan-
nah.

The Attitude of the Volunteers.
From the Washington Post Qnd).

We wish to say that we are in the fullest
sympathy with those volunteers who now,
the war being over and the question Of
defending the country and the flag being
retired ask for the privilege of electing
to remain in the army or return to private
life They are clearly entitled to this
right of choce-not legally perhaps, but
morally without doubt. It seems to US
that the government can well afford to
leave the volunteers free to speak for
themselves in this matter. It viii be bet
ter for the army and for the nation.
