STILL PATCHING.

The Committee on Taxation and Retrench-
ment of the Assembly has just dealt foul and
unfeeling blow at the Joint Committee on Taxa
fore both houses Of the Legislature The
Assembly committee has reported favoraby a
bill introduced by Mr. Treat for the taxation of
savings bank deposits amounting in one or more
banks to more than 81 600 Thus this infiuen-
tal body, which may almost be said TO be the
voice Of the lower house on tax matters DELHI
erately announces TO legislators and TO the
people of the State that the new revised tax
law drafted with so much care by the joint
committee is utterly inadequate and in need Of
tinkering even before ii is enacted. This is the
melancholy verdict passed by colleagues Of the
reformers on that great reform undertaken last
year with the flourish Of trumpets and show of
virtue so much In fashion recently In the prac-
teal politics Of the State of New-York What
exquisite irony must the members Of the joint
committee see In the annual report Of the State
Tax Commissioners, which remarks that "for
several months past the subject of general
sta xation has been ntrusted to joint COM
"mittee of your number In Difference TO such
the Board has herein no suggestions
"or recommendations to advance! And on the
very day this deferential report is made the
legislative associates of these joint committee
men decide that they can offhand do better
work at patching up tax laws than the states

thing more. 1t is one more OF the fasees which
seem to show how hopeless it Is TO look to our
lawmakers for any real comprehensive power
of grasping important public problems. They
can obey a boss to perfection. They DO log
rolling for little bills to perfection, but bring
them face to face with great question and
they can only putter When anything of i'm
portance has to be done il seems now TO be the
regular thing to delegate legislative functions to
a commission of citizens who will give the sub
ject intelligent consideration, and when they
have done, even then 1T is almost impossible to
get the formal lawmaking bodies to pay atten-
ton to their conclusions In this matter of
taxation experts have on official invitation made
recommends TONS only to be ignored by legis-
lative stupidity or legislative jealousy. So last
year small picked company of legislators them
selves undertook to give the people reformed
and rounded tax system that would at once COM
mend itself to scientists as the work of serious
statesmen to the people as the work of their
chosen representatives and not of impracticable
volunteers, and to the Legislature the work
of its own members, and therefore specially en-
titled to friendly consideration.
The instructions to the joint committee were
ample and comprehensive. 1t was to deal with
the whole question of taxation in the State and
reform the glaring inequalities and iniquities
winch everybody cOnleSSeS eAlSL III lne opera
ton of the existing tax laws. So much was ex-
pected of this revision that the proposal last
year to reincude special franchises among
properties subject to taxation denounced
by the politicians as an unnecessary anticipa-
ton of the joint committee, and urgent efforts
were made to have everything left TO 1t. Luck
ly that plea did not prevail, or else we should
probably be as far from franchise taxation as
ever for we find as a result of these months of
cogitation no tax system at all, nothing but
couple more patches prescribed for plastering
on to the present unsystematic and unsatis-
factory conglomeration which passes for the
tax law of New York. Two new taxes entirely
arbitrary both as to objects and rates. are
recommended, and that is the sum total of the
wisdom of the joint committee. Even the sepa-
ration of State and local taxation, the desirable
ity of which IL urges almost the sole excuse
for those two taxes and their arbitrary rates, is
not really secured; for actually before the pro-
posal is adopted the State is face to face with
the fact that the revenue to be derived from 1t
will be inadequate to any unusual expenditure.
The canals must be practically abandoned, or
the Board Of Equalization continue its activi-
ties.
And now, as If there were not enough outside
evidence that the patchwork was failure
tax revision, the Assembly Committee on Taxa
ton comes forward with an independent prop
osition rejected by the joint committee. That
we'll rounded fax system is fattened out like
toy balloon full of pinholeS, and the tinkers at
taxation are still at work. Poor tax reyisers!
Poor, long suffering taxpayers!

LOUISIANA or single State or many States to
be formed from that territory. Are we AZ this
late day to believe that they knew nothing OF
the powers of the Government they had
framed?
But II the power exists to acquire and hold
property not within the States, then that at
tribute of sovereign power is unlimited. because
not one line or letter exists IN the Constitution
to restrict it. The power can exist only as
necessary attribute of the sovereignty which the
original States by their voluntary act created,
and If so existing at all it has no more restric-
ton than the power Of Great Britain or Ger
many TO acquire or hold territory. Hair splitting
technicalities do not serve in such case as this
TO deny to the trainers of the Constitution COM
mon sense and loyal integrity TO the supreme
law which they themselves had framed. 1t
would be an insult TO their memories to suppose
that they had no correct understanding of the
meaning of that instrument. or that in all their
acts with respect to possessions of the United
States they consistently disregarded that law.
Yet men have to assume this IL they claim that
the United States cannot acquire and hold prop
erty outside the States, or that property so ac-
quired becomes part of the union of States, and
governed by all the provisions of the Constitu-
ton respecting the States, prior to in spite Of
any action by Congress on the subject.
