EQUITABLE TAXATION.

An association has been organized In
Chicago called the Equitable Tax Asso'
citation of America. 1t is intended tC
be national in its scope, and its pur
poses are declared to be to assist off.
Gals i'm getting all real estate and per.
sonal property on the assessment books
and to aid in the enforcement OF ma.
tional and state laws for securing fair
and uniform freight rates. Local
branches are to be organized in every
county of every state.
The association has big job on its
hands. 1t has field for a beneficent
work. If it succeeds in enlisting a
sufficient number of persons in its SER
wee it can accomplish much by merely
crystallizing public sentiment in favor
of fair and honest assessments. If it
can develop a revival of conscience re-
speeding public taxes by widespread
organization and agitation its work
will be of great advantage to the coun-
try. But il can do no more than mod
ify the evils of the present system of
taxation. 1t cannot abolish those evils
and establish equitable taxation with
out changing the entire system.
1t has been demonstrated by long
experience that honest assessment of
personal property is impossible, for the
reason that the great bulk of personal
property is of such a character that it
can be hidden from the assessor, and
the fact that some personal property
holders will always refuse to return fair
assessments on their possessions will
stand as a constant jusfication for UNI
dervaluations by most men who would
prefer to be honest if they could do so
without robbing themselves.
The first essential step toward equi-
table taxation is the abolition of all
taxes on such property as is intangible
and cannot be got at by the assessor.
Tax everything which can be seen and
the value of which can be readily as
SCSSSu Wy SoiiiBStNho toA oiiiSioio, thNa
tax nothing Which can be hidden
away. Such system would make it
impossible for anyone to dodge taxes
without bribing the assessor or tax col
lector, and 1t will be necessary only to
watch the officials whose duties are to
assess and collect taxes.
At the outset there would be some
injustice done by this plan. The owner
of tangible property would have his
taxes increased, and the few owners OF
bonds and mortgages whose consciences
are tender enough to cause them to list
their possessions for taxation under the
present system would be relieved. But
in few years the method would adj
just itself, the burdens of taxation
would be equitably distributed, through
changes in interest rates and in other
ways, so that each property owner
would pay, directly or indirectly, his
share of the public Representatives,

In two years of the Wilson free trade
tariff, 1S95-96, Europe bought from the
United States merchandise worth ST.
3Ol 100000. In the two years, 1S9S-99,
of the Dingley protective tariff, Europe
bought from us to the extent of 81 ,9lO,.
100000. There was an increase under
protection of 5000, O0O,OOO in two years

stopped our goods from getting out,
and it won't as long as Uncle Sam
holds the key to our gates of commerce.

house, Saturday, Nav 5. The principal
topics for discu isiOn are freight rates and
boxing materials. The fruit shippers of
this county feel that they are discrim-
mated against by the boat company
which carries fruit from the islands to
Seattle, principally on apples and small
fruit. We pay more than three times
that payed on lime and nearly three times
that payed on other merchandise. Fruit
is put mp in convenient packages, will
stow solidly, and we feel imposed upon
by this discrimination. The freight on
apples alone the past season was several
thousands of dollars from this island. and
the members of this Organization mean to
stand firmly for reduction of freight
rates. All fruit growers are cordially in
vited to attend this meeting. Remember

they ever were and suffer no hardship,
but the mass of the people-the poems

"THERE are two ways of farming be-
ing followed in this country. One way
is called farming by brute force and
the other is called farming by the aid
of brains,'" says the Farmers Re-
view. at is foregone conclusion that
the man that farms 10y the help of
brains is the coming farmer. He is
destined TO drive out the man that
farms 10y brute force, and the more
rapid the change the better will it be
for the country. The farmer with q
high order of intelligence will make
his fields bring forth such crops as the
other farmer never raised; his sons and
daughters will be set free from the
"drudgery" Of farm life, but will find
in the air and sun of the farm the place
of all others where their souls can eX-
pand and glow. The new farmer
allies himself with others to gain mu.
tual ends. The farmer that knowns no
method but that of brute force is in
capable of combining effectively with
any one or for any purpose. A new
era has dawned for agriculture, and
every man that refuses to recognize the
changing conditions, and the new re-
quirements will find himself out of
harmony with progress as it touches
him. He will be entirely incapable OF
adapting himself to new situations as
they arise. Tt is full time for all farm
ers to abandon the kind of farming that
succeeds only by blind exertion and
take up the new way, which promises
to accomplish more with less expense
of muscle.n
