state Tax Commission.

Let US hope that the Iabors of the
state tax commission will not be in
vain, but that from their delibera-
tfons there may come some plan of
taxation more equitable than the
present plan and one that will so COM
mend itself to the people of the state
that there will be little delay in
adopting it.
There is need OF reform. In the
first place what is true in Cleveland
as to unjust discrimination in favor
of railroads is true in West Virginia.
Tom johnson has called the attention
OF the country to the fact that one
street railway ia Cleveland was rated
On the assessors books at 5000, 600,
when its real value was over $4,000
900. We cannot complain of dis
elimination quite SO appalling as that
but there are railroad properties
that need a retaliation.
Again there is not an equitable dis
tribution of the state tax burdens
among the counties because the
assessed values IN the different coun-
ties are not made according to
the said standards. Some plan that
would remove this inequality and
would at the same time put railroads
and such corporation properties in a
class by themselves so that they could
not escape their share of taxation,
would be consnmmation to be de-
voutly wished.
The commission has under discus
sion scheme which would accomplish
such result. 1t is proposed to leave
to the counties all the real and per-
sonal property within their borders on
which all county taxes may be levied,
and to raise all state revenues from
railroads, telephone and telegraph
lines, express companies, oil and gas
production, domestic and foreign cor
porations in the form of licenses,
and things Of like character. We
have not considered this proposition
very thoroughly but at first glance it
seems to be good plan. 1t would
certainly put those properties which
are notorious for seeking low assess
ments, into class together, and
thus make the matter of assessed
value an unimportant question. Ii
the assessments should be made the tax
rate would necessarily be high. Such
properties could not escape paying a
fair amount of taxes. This propo-
sition Is worth considering. Clarks-

PRESIDENT RoosEyELT'S

The following extract from Roose-

The Southerners, by their whole

their love of outdoor sports kept up
their warlike spirit. while IN the
North the so-called upper classes
developed along the lines Of a veal

measuring everything by mercan-

one if taken purely by ITSELF and

CITY HOUSEKEEPING.
Women Wanted to assist In the Muni-
cipal affairs OF Pennsylvania.

A well known lady requests the
publication OF the following:
Within the past few weeks, several
eminent gentlemen In Pennsylvania
have publicly urged the women Of
Philadelphia to assist In reforming
the political government OF our state
metropolis. One leading newspaper
made double column appeal TO the
mothers OF its city plainly stating the
relation between home and city house
keeping. Extracts from this able
editorial are as follows:
"There are two ways OF keeping the
home pure, by building a high fence
around 1t to shut out the sights Of
the wicked world, aud by endeavoring
to better the outside environment
Into which the young mustente soon
er or later. No hone ia Philadelphia
however high the walls of exclusion
can escape the effect Of Its environ
ment. For the sake OF her own boys
and her own girls, and all boys and
girls, there Is laid upon the good
woman, as we have said, special OBJ
legation to give her influence against
this moral plague by which the home
is surrounded.
Philadelphia Is not alone in her
need OF womanly assistance In muni-
cipal house keeping. In every city
the question of pure air; water supply;
street lightning and cleaning; garbage
disposal; sewerage and moral sur
,roundings are vital to women as to
men. And the only fiimsey protec-
tion for Pennsylvania women, is easily
ignored Influence" In all public
questions votes are what count for
common good Would the men Of
Philadelphia be content to submit to
Acknowledgement and trust to mere
influence? What Is essential is, that
the votes OF our good women be re-
corded, and thus afford our homes the
protection OF both fathers and moth
ers. One fifth Of the tax payers of
Philadelphia are women. How are
they represented.

Tomorrow Night.
Naturalization for the fall quarter
OF the University for the session Of
190l-1902 began this morning Only
a fraction Of the students are already
here and q very limited fraction Of
them expected, lad registered up to
noon. The rush will hardly begin be-
fore tomorrow morning, and is likely
to continue for the remainder Of this
week and the greater part of next.
This year three different places of
registration have been provided lone

University Hall which is in charge OF
Miss Hannah Clark; another ia Room

Office. for all other students. It is to
the latter Office that the greater por-
tion Of the numerous inquiries are di-
recued and those in charge are kept
busy replying to them. Students find
no difficulty in becoming acquainted
with the new President.
DIR. Purinton was unable as yet
this morning to give any estimate of
probable attendance. About fifty
students had registered yesterday al
though 1t was not regular matricu-
lation day and this is construed to be
a very encouraging sign. About so
students had marriculated at the
presidents Office at II o'clobk this
morning This does not include pre-
paratory nor lady students. The rain
no doubt deferred many from doing
SO.
Students began arriving already as
early as Saturday and Sunday. The
trains Monday brought quite mum
Der but the real influx did not begin
until to-day. Those who had not al
ready engaged rooms have been having
considerable difficulty ia getting
located. Desirable rooms were at a
premium already as early as Monday.
Naturalization will continue to-mor-
row. Lectures are scheduled to begin
Thursday, but, owing to the funeral
Of the late President Mckinley, the
program will be only partially carried
out. President PurintOn stated this
morning that the various classes will
meet Thursday morning, but that
everything, including registration and
matrlculablOu, Woal1 DC suspended ia
the afternoon, In accordance with the
proclamations of President Roosevelt
and Governor White, requesting

Of observance, he would conform tc
the wishes of the citizens OF Morgan

take place tomorrow night in the
chapel Of the University.
