EQUALIZATION OF ASSESSMENT.

The question of legal and just as
sessment has been and still Is re-
ceiving considerable attention in
this community. An honest and an
earnest effort has apparently been
| made TO assess equitably, yet there
is wide divergence of opinion
| between property owners and the
officials who fixed valuations on
them. But it is barely possible for
the owner of property to place fair
valuation upon it. The best he can do,
be he ever so punctilious, Is TO trust
to his Judgment, which is likely to
vary with that Of his neighbors as
well as that of the officials, and the
differences between these several es-
Inmates may be so wide az to leave
the impression that dishonesty pre-
dominates, and that is an error which
the public should not permit itself
10 fall into. Honesty is largely in
the majority and should be able to
bring to center the taX-dodger.
No such thing as rule for the
regulation of valuations upon per-
sonal property has ever been in ex-
| isasGg.ssq. .as!d-an equitable. assessment
of real estate can only be arrived at
in the vast majority Of cases by de-
termining values on an income basis
or by estimating them upon locality
transfers. And even when either Of
these principles ace applied there is
n possibility of errors either in favor
of or against the taxpayer.
We are passing through an expert
mental stage in the enforcement of
new assessment law. Let US con-
slider the underlying principles Of
taxation; It may be helpful. A tax
j. not imposed as a penalty for own
ing property. 1t is paid by the peo-
pie TO the government for the Sc
curity to person and property which
is in return guaranteed. The owner
of "a farm, or of city property, or the
mOneyed man who owns stocks,
bonds, mortgages, or deeds for secu-
rity is alike protected in his posses

IT is not improbable that the

for "A woman to be shorn or shaver

the question whether it be a shame
for woman TO be shoru st. Paul
further on says: Judge in your

THE FUEL PROBLEM.

Oshkosh Northwestern.
According to the statement of deal
crs, anthracite coal for next winters
consumption is likely to be seven
dollars or more ton. No matter
how little margin there may be in it
20 dealers nj this price, every one
knows that this is an outrageous
price for bard coal. If mining com
pauies contend that 1t cannot be
profitably mined and handled for
less, then il becomes important to
consumer TO look about for some
substitute for coal. Whether that
may be found in the greater con
sumption of soft coal in the form Of
gas or of oils in their liquid state or
transformed into gas may be a ques
tion. Perhaps il may not be either.
1t may he unfortunate that we. even
In this land OF prosperity and plenty.
cannot resort to peet boys to escape
the eXtortions of coal ring.
The conditions force upon Us the
question whether the consumption
of gas for heating purposes cannot
be economically extended, II is one
worth close investigation. Soft coal
is much cheaper than hard coal. Gas
heat can be better applied direct
where needed than any other form
OF combustion, Perhaps it may pay
! 60 divide up some OF this coal eNtor-
tion with the gas companies. In
other words perhaps it may effect
a good result to burn more gas and
less hard coal and let home institu-
tions divide the profits. For in this
climate fuel Is the most important
item IN domestic consumption.
When some sort OF fires must be kept
up for eight months a year, the fuel
problem is veNed one and more
serious than the question Of taxes.
