but no golden mean that is perfect
will be discovered. The present law
provides that each piece of property
shall be assessed in sum equal to
the excess of the special benefit it re-
ceives over the damage it sustains by
reason of the improvement, that if
the benefits to do not equal the con-
tract price for the job the city shall
pay the difference out of the general
taxes, and that the benefits and dam
ages shall be fixed by the city COM
missioners, who are selected as disin-
terested representative citizens and
freeholders.
This is an exceedingly elastic law,
even leaving out of consideration the
human proneness of city commits
sioners to err In Judgment. 1t leaves
each contract to be handled according
to the conditions that prevail with
reference to it and it contemplates
that each piece of property affected
shall be considered separately and as
sessed according to the benefits and
damages belonging to it. The COM
missioners are confronted with seri-
Gus proposition and are under heavy
responsibility when they take up the
duty of distributing the assessments
and they are assured from the outset
that at least some interested parties
will differ from them in judgment:
if they are men of sense they will
realize that their own judgments may
not be IA dltless and will govern them
themselves accordingly. They will
know that no hard and fast rules can
be laid down and that satisfactory
method in one place may be radically
wrong in another.
The thing the Plymouth commits
sioners are required to do now is to
find out the exact amount that each
lot affected by the pavement is in
creased in value by reason of that i'm
prOvement. This is the amount of
the assessment within the intent and
meaning of the law. When thaG is
accomplished and the assessments are
footed up the deficit, if any, is the
amount the city must pay. If the
commissioners do not fail in their
duty neithe. the property owners nor
the city will pay too much. In a
situation where there is so little varia-
ton from normal conditions as on
Michigan street it would seem reason
ably clear to the great majority of
people that the owners should pay for
the work in front of their respective
lots, leaving the city to pay for the
intersection of streets.

GET ACTION.

sect action. Do things. Be sane.
Don't fritter your time away; create,
act, take place wherever you are and
be somebody. Get action"
That is what Colonel Roosevelt sale
to one of his Rough Riders one day as
they were parting after the war. The
advice, in substance and in form, is in
the best and most characteristic RooSe-
welt style and is essentially the story
of his own career. To another he said,
Remember that for nine days you
will be hero, and then you will have
to take your place as an ordinary citi-
zen. You will be judged then for
what you are and what you do, not
for what you have been. Don't get
gay"
The law of life is work. If work is
not at hand, make work. The world
and its victories are for the people who
do things. Look ahead and keep
busy is the rule that wins.
Roosevelt hates a lie and despises
hypocrisy, he detestS moral or physi-
cal cowardice, he has no time for
dreamers. He is loyal to his friends
and reticent as to his enemies, he be-
lieveS i'm common sense and is calm,
cool and conservative. Above all, he
is personally clean. In private and in
public he has walked soberly and care
fully, with clear eyes and unsoiled
hands, faithful in all things.
Roosevelt is an intensely practical
man and an American clear through
and always. That he is loved by
Americans is due to his conspicuous
characteristics, the handspring OF
which is expressed in the American
admonition, sect action"

The adverse impression created by

Let us reason together. The con-

Of those who appointed its members

our esteemed contemporary over at

HIGH GROUND IN DIPLOMACY.

In his speech at the New York
chamber of commerce dinner Tuesday
evening Secretary Hay gave expression
to some phrases which are not likely
TO be forgotten. Speaking of the part
which the United States is to play
among the other powers, he declared
that ssthere is to be no more surren-
der of our rights than violation of the
rights of Others "No wantOnneSS
of strength, he added, twill ever in
duce us to drive hard bargain with
another nation because it is weak, nor
will any fear of ignoble criticism
tempt us to insult or defy great
power because it is strong or even be-
cause it is friendly" The nation,
furthermore, while frankly striving to
carry its commerce into all the mark
cts of the world, will endeavor to cult
ivate peace with all powers, s.but not
to take part in the formation Of groups
or combinations among Them" In
short, to quote phrase which bids
fair to make Mr.. Hays speech memo
rable, 1.-THE briefest expression Of our
rule of conduct is perhaps the Monroe
doctrine and the golden rule"
Diplomacy used to be the art Of
duplicity and Of artfulness, its lam
guage was the language of concealed
meaning, the diplomat was man Of
polite subtlety and urbane crsftiness,
to whom
'sAll friendly trust was folly"
and no international communication
was what it seemed.
American craftsmanship is changing
all that and foreigners are no longer
shocked at the plain speech and open
meaning of our ministers abroad. The
utterance of Secretary Hay will not
have to be construed and translated
to find its significance. 1t means, and
viii be understood to mean, thet the
United States stands on the high
ground of fair dealing in everything
that affects international relations,
while maintaining to the utmost every
right it possesses.

THE LAW OF ASSESSMENTS.

In considering the paving assess
ments and the plan adopted by the
city commissioners for determining
the amounts, it should be remember
ed that no absolutely fair and equit-
able plan for distributing the cost Of
such improvements has ever been
devised.
One extreme view is that all public
improvements should be paid for by
the entire public, on the theory that
the sum of all general and special
benefits from all public works will
thus be most evenly divided among
all the people. One trouble with this
plan is that the division is made on
the basis of property values and per-
SONS owning no property avoid pay
ment altogether while enjoying as
much actual use OF the improvements
as others who pay the highest taxes.
Another trouble is that public i'm
provements ordinarily commence in
the center Of the municipality and
work out toward the limits and prop
erty owners around the edges would
be comnelled to pay for much that
they would never get.
At the opposite extreme is the
opinion, widely held at one time, that
the full cost of public improvements
should be assessed to the property
directly affected by them, the idea be-
ing that as the improvements are
extended each piece Of property will
in turn pay its share of the whole in
the order in which it is reached.
This is Objectionable for the reason
that though the general public en-
joys a very large proportion of the
benefit of public works, a large part
of it escapes the burden of the cost as
they are carried forward, and for the
further reason that the placing of the
entire cost upon adjacent property
sometimes makes the tax intolerable,
even to the point of confscation. The
rigid front-foot rule of the Barrett
law was adopted under this extreme
view. 1t greatly simplified the cal
culatlon of assessments but compelled
thousands of foreclosures and was SO
inequitable and odious that its repeal
was demanded from all over the state.
Somewhere between these two ex-
tremes lies basis of adjustment that
is nearer fair and right than either,
