LACK OF LIGHT.

congress provides for the big military
school at West Point on a more liberal
scale than in the past a majority of the
lieutenants to be graduated from there in
the next few years will be sufferers from

clent light is not applied. due to small
appointments of money for the sup

defects, and all of these cadets except
three have been enabled by the use of
glasses to continue their studies. The

room is lighted by three gas burners. a
central Argand burner and two lateral
ordinary burners. suspended above the
table placed in the center of the room.
| believe that one Welsbach burner, with
green porcelain shade in a stand. on the
table in the form of a drop light, would
give a far better light thar is furnished
by the three burners now in use. and
would be a great preventive as regards

NO JOKE.

The reduction Of personal tax assessments In
the Borough of Manhattan amounts 10 over
S7,O0,00O,000 A preliminary assessment Of
more than S7.59O000000 had by April been
sworn down TO about S493 100000 and how
much was taken off in the remaining month of
revision ii is impossible to say Less than one
fifteenth of the sum originally set down re-
mains on the tax books. The fourteen -fifteenths
measures Tammany incompetence, recklessness
and levity in dealing with taxation.
Ii is common to treat this remarkable pre-
tence OF personal taxation as a farce. The pa
pers are full of jokes about the grotesque
ignorance Of the tax officers. and the assess
ments they make on the hit-or-miss plan with
out the least expectation that more than a few
Of them will stand. One story is that an as
SCISSOR made up his lists by lot with the aid OF a
pack OF cards 1t may be true or not, but the
results Of that method could not be worse than
those actually obtained by what purports 10 be
serious and intelligent computation But this
farce of personal taxation is by no means merely
q Joke. 1t presents totally different aspect TO
the citizen who endures unjust and dspropor-
tionate taxation because Of official incompe-
tence Every man whose name Is on the tax
books is wronged and oppressed when n man
whose name ought to be there Is neglected.
Not merely does he have to pay a just tax
which he owes, while others with like obliga-
tons escape, but he has to pay more than his
just tax 10 reimburse the State for its failure
10 collect a proper share of It's needed revenue
from others. 1t must be perfectly evident that
the personal property legally subject 10 taxation
In this borough Is far more than $j00,0O0O00
There must be something radically wrong in a
system that assesses $7.000,0OO.OO0 which can
be sworn off, while utterly failing TO notice the
millions legally subject TO taxation that are not
even put 10 the test Of inquiry. Doubtless some
Of the assessments sworn off are dishonesty
escaped. The greater proportion. however, are
improperly made and stand for nothing but the
stupid guesswork OF the Tammany heelers
who are set 10 appraise values-it makes little
difference whether they do ii with pack of
cards or with what passes among them for
brains. The same lottery that manages 10 hit
one dollar out Of fifteen II aims at perhaps
misses fifteen dollars subject to taxation for
every fifteen legally exempt or actually non
existent which it puts on the books TO be sworn
off.
The personal tax law at lis best is a bad
- that puts a premium on perjury, but it's
