A MiserIs Estate.

STOCKTON, Cal, March 2.-Pete-
Christensen, wealthy bachelor
farmer, who died few weeks ago on
his ranch near Waterloo this county,
left an estate worth upwards of $780,
600, and so far as known no heir OF
his resides this side of Denmark.
Public Administrator Norton is in
charge of the estate as administrator,
who will having been found. 1t was
known the old man had a will pre-
pared for him, but 1T was thought it
had not been executed.
Now comes the story that he made
a will several years ago and left it
with the late Judge Baldwin. Since
the death of Baldwin the document
was mailed to Christensen, and after
lying in the postOtf1ce here three days
was sent to the dead-letter office and
is in Warrington.
Efforts are being made to get the
document, which it is said will give
large beqnests to old friends of the
eccentric miser.

Methods of TAXATION.

To the Editor of The Post.
Wcco Texas, October IA Post corro-
spondent, Mr. George l., Porter suggests
certain reforms in taxation methods. He
would reduce the number Of assessors and
collect rs, ferret out all personal property,
ard assess all classes of property at two
thirds of it's value.
Why two thirds of its value? Why not
three thirds OF its value? History repeats
itself, particularly so in the mistakes OF
the people Experience fails as a teacher.
Mr. Porter should know that personal prop
erty taxes can not be equitably collected.
Even in China and Turkey where the
thumb screw and the rack are at the dis
posal OF the tax collector, all personal
property can not be reached. Mr.. Porter
would probably insist upon the taxation OF
both the mortgagor and the mortgage,
CHASING the mortgage as personal property
This would be double taxation, as both
would ultimately fail upon the moftgaged
debtor. This rule applies to all taxes on
the representatives OF wealth or capital,
which are enormously classed ~ personal
property. If Mr.. Porter desires to see
evolved just system of taxation he should
lend his aid to the movement for home
rule or local option in taxation the pro-
posed amendment for winch follows:
Amendment TO The constitution of the State
of Texas, relating TO tpWation.
Amend article of the constitution of
Texas by adding to same the following sec
ton
Section 10. All property in this State,
whether owned by natural persons or cor
porations other than municipal, shall be
rendered for taxation in proportion to its
reasonable market value, which shall be as
! certained as may be provided by law, and
1 the same shall be deemed to consist, first
OF personal property; second land exclusive
OF any improvements on Same, and, third,
: improvements placed or land and in case
of real estate The assessment rolls shall
! show the value of The land separately from
the value OF inlIr ovements thereon L
shall be competent for any county, city
or town in accordance with the wishes OF
a majority OF its qualified voters, expressed
! in such manner as the legislature may pre-
scribe to wholly exempt from taxation
either one or more OF the three species OF
property mentioned above; provided, how
ever. no county shall be relieved from the
payment of the same amount of taxes for
( state purposes as would be collectible from
same but for the exemption herein provided
for and any county, city or town eXercis-
ing the option herein conferred upon same,
shall have the privilege OF increasing the
percentage CT the tax levied 10 ouch ex-
| tent as may be necessary TO make the tax
| collectible equal to what 1t would be but
ior such exemptions A. Freeland.
