Assessment Law Improvement.

The Tallahasseean suggests that
a change should be made in our
state assessment laws SO that prop
erty should be subject to return for
taxation until the first of March.
The law now stipulates that
property owned the first day of
January shall be returned for tax
alton. 1t is possible under the
present provision of the law for
some wealthy concerns to escape
taxation almost entirely by being
able to dispose of valuable proper
ty temporarily and thereby avoid
a just proportion of taxation.
The Tallahasseean cites the case
of a factory less than a hundred
miles from the state capital that
remains idle until after the first of
the new year, then starts up and
in three months does a business of
from 100000 to 100000 annually
without paying a cent of taxes ex-
cept upon IA few hundred dollars
worth of idle machinery that can
not be moved.
The suggestion is a good one,
and the defect is too easily remedied
to allow the law To remain as it
now is any longer than the meas
ure can be corrected.

The Custom House Affair.

Mr.. Gage, secretary of the treas
ury, has exposed himself to some
very severe attacks by the favors
which he has shown 20 the National
City Bank of New York. TO what
extent he was justified in extend
ing these favorS it is impossible to
say without a fuller knowledge of
the facts. 1t is true he offers some
explanations of his actions, but
these do not appear satisfactory To
the majority of the people. who
recognize pretty strongly manifest
ed therein an effort on the part of
trusts To control the affairs of the
nation. As the guardian of the
finances of great nation he has
fallen under a rather suspicious
cloud, and great many well-bal-
ancei men seem to think that it
is quite improper for him 10
remain at the head of the treasury
department.

They start the new year without

in regard to maintaining rates. In
other words the rebate com pact, +"
which bound them together in
mutual interest, has been ended,
and it is said that the Equitable

compaHy's withdrawal is excused
on the plea that the rebate COM
pact" is likely to create the i'm
preston in some of the western
states, where there is a strong and
decided feeling against trusts, that
life insurance companies, them
selves, were combined into a trust.
So it seems that the antitrust
sentiment has brought about the
alnulment of an agreement which
has heretofore prevented COMPETE

companies, While it is not known
that a cut for business will follow,
such will be difficult to Obviate, and
the smaller companies, in that
