SECOND HALF.

Stanford at the end OF the first half
showed every sign of disorder, confusion
and rout. The men had their very hearts
cut and ground out Of them. With their
captain on the side lines and the Califor-
MIA host counting off the score with pain
full and exasperating slowness they took
their scattered places in the north field.
During the rest Coach Chamberlain was
at them with advice and censure. The
look that came over their faces as they
stood expectant and anxious for the
whistle to blow promised better things.
But before the tide turned California
added another touchdown to its list. and
the score reached its final high pitch,
80. Kaarsberg kicked of the Stanford
back TO it's old game at line-bucking, but
its efforts were unfruitful A punt was
forced out of the red heap, and kaars-
berg, catching the ball on the Stanford

reached the center OF the field. California

4 SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.

1t is proposed that there shall be held
in New York from oct. 81 to Nov. %,
next. in the Grand Central Palace, great
southern exposition, the main purpose OF
which will be to enlighten the people of
che North and East respecting the wonder
full almost limitless, resources of the
South. and give practical demonstration
OF this sections development in manufac-
turing. mining and milling, and also in
education, art and science. There will be
departments of commerce, manufactures,
agriculture horticulture, geology, min
erals and mining, forestry and forest pro-
ducts. education. fine arts, history, etc.
COL John j. Garnett is the director Of che
exposition, and among the prominent
Southern men on the advisory committee
are Gen. Wheeler, Gov. Gambler of Geor-
gia, Gov Bradley OF Kentucky, Mayor
Watkins of Chattanooga, and a number of
others.
The South should, by all means, avail
Itself of this opportunity 40 show what It

public the indisputable evidences Of its
progressiveness and its resources. An
ounce Of proof is worth a volume Of
talk. We may ten the people of the North
that we have an abundance of the finest
building material in the world, and they
may have some doubt of the correctness
of the assertion; but if we lay before them
samples of our marble and granite. and of
our pine, oak, maple, ASH, cypress. cherry,
walnut, spruce hickory, etc, there can
be no doubling or dlsputng it then. We
may tell them that we are making fine
fabrics as well as coarse cloths and they

them bolts of cambria and samples of lace

CITY and CoUNTRY AssEssNIENTs


In the cities of this state the assessors,
as general thing, value property for the
purpose of taxation above its market
value-that is, what it would sell
for a public outcry. In the coun-
Try, the assessors put as low a
valuation on property as they can without
calling forth a protest from the controller
generaI-at least that is said to be the
fact in most of the counties which draw
out of the state treasury more than they
pay into it.
In the cities the tax receivers for the
county and the state take the valuations.
in most cases, of the city assessors. The
result is that taxpayers in the cities, in
comparison with those in the country are
double taxed In the cities the assessors
appear to have the idea that they can
make values What good thing it would
be for property owners if they could! They
arbitrarily say that piece of property is
worth so much money. The fact that at
forced sale it wouldn't bring near the
amount of the assessment is wholly disra-
garded by them. The tax receivers for
the county and The state follow their exam
pie and the result is that it is a difficult
thing to get people to invest in real estate
in the cities except in a few favored local
tiles The city assessors and the tax re
ceiyers are making it difficult for the
towns to grow.
What is the remedy? 1t is apparent. Put
men in control of the cities who are willing
to administer their affairs on lines Of rigid
ecouomy-men who win not make places
for those who are thought to have political
influence and who viii not pay big sala-
ries to Office holders whose only recommen-
dation is that they are bosses of gangs OF
political heelers, or are able to control a
large number of voters.
1t is evident that in the administration OF
affairs, both of cities and of states, there
has got to be greater economy in order to
avoid bankruptcy. Taxpayers cannot
stand the taxes that are now collected.
Real estate cannot continue to pay from
two and half to three per cent. on a val
uation that is AT least a third greater than
its market value, and the holders Of Sc
curties win not consent to give up more
than half of their incomes TO the tax gath
erer
Ii may be said that the people are TO
blame for putting into Office those who are
reckless and eXtrayagant with the peoples
money. As a matter of fact the taxpayers
have comparatively little TO do with the
matter. The men who run the politics of
cities and get the Offices have very little at
stake. Having nothing, their aim is to get
all they can from those who have some
thing. Unless the taxpayers take more
interest in politics they VIII see the great
er part of their incomes diverted 10 the
pockets of the politicians and their follow
ers.
