The TAX DECISION.

Judge Hawley yesterday handed
down his findings it the railroad tax
case. The main points of the decis-
ion are to be found on the local page.
1t assumes the law to be constitutional,
but holds that the State Board of
Assessors did not properly classify the
railroads.
Instead OF fixing valuation on the
Southern Pacific Railroad" naming
1t in that manner, the Board should
have fixed the valuation in this man.
ner: ION broad guage railroads whose
termini are wholly outside the State
of Nevada, $40, 600 per mile.
Had this course been followed the
assessment would have stood.
On cattle, horses, sheep, etc., thew
followed the correcs course under the
law. The injunction stands and now
the several assessors, through whose
counties the road runs, can fix the
valuation separately as they deem
proper. From the view of the various
assessors in railroad counties on this
subject, it is likely that they will
assess at an average of $4,000 or
SIG, 900 mile.
The point on which the Court rend-
dered its decision is regarded as good
by the States attorneys and they con-
slider it wiser to leave the States inter-
ests to the next meeting of the Board
OF Assessors in January next than to
appeal to the U. S. Court.

AFTER THE TAX DODGERS.

those less able to pay. Ex-President
Harrison made speech few years
ago before one of the leading clubs of
Chicago and scored the tax dodgers

mated that rich people ought to pay
taxes on their property if they expect
poor people to make sacrifices to pro-
tect property. The corporations oc >

Mayor Harrison is reported as say
ing:
II am going to distribute thu bur
dens of the increase in tax revenues
and the city will receive pro rata

The fire department will not be
spared, as l consider protection to the
health OF our city just as important
as protection to the property of these
rich tax dodgers. Hitherto thee men
have considered it safe to cheat the
city OF its just taxes because the
efficiency of the fire department has

The Mayor is right. There is no
reason why public health should be
sacrificed in order to give fire protec,
ton to thoHe who refused to pay
their taxes
No one is anxious to pay taxes,
and yet tax paying would be less
burdensome to all if ali property was
given in for assessment. and each
person paid his proportionate share

DIR. Gallaudet spoke of the origin of
the college for deaf mutes. He placed
its commencement at Hartford, in the
spirits of two men. one young and one
old. They hoped TO have a millionaire
take up the establishment of the institu-
ton and when Amos Kendall offered as
sistance to them they came TO Washing
ton. They hoped to be able to get the as
sistance of the United States Govern
ment.
The two young men,. he said, came.
and through them the idea OF college
engrafted upon the idea of simple
deaf mute school. They finally obtained
the right. through act of Congress- to
give a regular collegiate degree, and the
signature on the bill was Lincoin's.
There was an appropriation. too. and a
purchase of land. The liberality of Con-
gress was notable from the beginning"

the future lying before it. Preceding the

Mr.. Stuart responding to 1.-The Public
Schools. said: The school system of
Washington was founded in 1894. Thomas
Jefferson himself contributed $500 to the
support of the school board and was him

eress of the schools was slow. and only
81 $50 annually was appropriated for their
support. Poor students were not taught
arithmetic and geography. The feeling of
caste retarded the development of the
common school idea"
Bishop Satterlee, of the Cathedral
School, said:
Washington has exceptional advan-
tages from the educational point of view
because it is so definitely associated with
the Government 1t is unique because
of its freedom from distracting influence.
ID has the true university atmosphere
because of the departments. the Govern
ment has assembled here the most noted
experts on every conceivable subject
am told that postgraduate students are
to be allowed the greatest opportunities
to study in the departments, and for this
reason IL seems to me that Washington
must develop into wonderful educational
centre.

which has already built the Marble Hall
of History. is developing slowly. but it is
building for the ages. We are waiting I'M
