The quarantine has been raised from
No. is school building, at the corner OF
North Sumner avenue and Swetland
street, and the regular sessions will be
resumed this morning.
1t was intended to have everything
in readiness for the opening yesterday
but the building was not sufficiently
heated, and in consequence the OPEN
ing was deferred until today.
The school was closed several weeks
ago on account of the close proximity
of several cases of smallpox, but the
victims are now out of danger, and
there is no apparent fear of any fur
ther spread of the disease.
All the children who attend the
school are required to furnish u certifi-
cate setting forth that they have been
vaccinated before they will be per-
mitted to resume their studies. All
those who have not been vaccinated
will be required to undergo the ordeal
before they will be allowed to attend
school again.

S'MORE TAXES!

he SUBJECT OF taxation IS an ola
one and yet one that is always new.
That feature that appeals annually
to the citizen for a contribution of a
substantial slice of his earnings for
the support of the state and local in
stitutions makes the question one of
individual concern and of unusual
interest. Public expenses increase,
requiring an increasing contribution
from the individual. The constant
evasion of a large class of people of
their share of the obligations of the
tax adds an exasperating element 10
the subject. The question overshad-
ows all others. 1t is now under the
consideration of legislators in many
of the states and is agitated in every
community. Many instances of in
equality in assessment, consequent
upon the refusal of property owners
to list much of their property, exist
every where and economists are con-
stantly studying to devise means to
remedy the fragrant evil. The in
crease in pulic expenses is creating
adverse criticism and the dissatisfac-
ton is expressed in vigorous Ian
guage when taxes are due. To a
considerable portion Of the commu-
ity the annual payment of taxes is
felt to be burden. 1t should not
be so. Every man should find a
pleasure in giving to the govern
ment adequate support according to
his ability. The possessor of a small
amount of property should not have
occasion to feel that the tax imposed
upon him is oppressive, any more
than should the man of larger
wealth. If all property contributes
its just proportion of the tax, the tax
on the property of the man of small
means would be reduced to one
quarter of what it is. The value of
all property in this state, according
to the United States census, is about
three billion dollars, and the amount
of tax is near S2o,ooo,ooo. The.
rate on dollar should be such a
sum as is indicated by the quotient
of 2o,ooo,ooo divided by 3,ooo,ooo,-
900, which is .ooo6-six and two
thirds mills on the dollar. Com
pare this assumed rate with the actu-
al rate upon the property of the man
the value of which is known. We
pay .o2384, a rate nearly four times
this theoretical rate. In this city, in
the first ward, the tax rate is .o2384,
SO that man who is assessed for
1900 pays tax of $23.84, and the
treasurer's fee of 2 or S per cent ad-
ded to it; in the other wards the tax
is $2I.63 on $1,000. Ifsuch person
paid only his equitable amount of
tax he would pay only 5000. Let
us pursue this question little fur
Their along the same line. IF the
man worth $1,000 pays tax Of $23,
the man worth $4,000 should pay
$500; the man worth $4,000
should pay $I15o and the man
worth 100000 should pay $4,000,
but is it not true that as the ratio Of
individual wealth increases the ratio
of his tax decreases
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1902-03-06

The question Of valuations, when
under consideration for assessment
for taxation, is pretty confusing.
What property is worth in given
locality depends largely on circum-
stances. There are so many things
to be considered that the question
always remains indeterminate. One
man puts a higher value on a piece
of property than neighbor adjoln-
ing on similar piece. A man
will ask more when he is not anx-
ious to sell and will take less when
he is DESTROYS of selling. What a
man asks for piece of property or
what he sells for is an uncertain
guide in estimating valuations.
A list of sales of real estate in the
several counties is published annu-
ally, with the price paid for each
tract, but this does not furnish sure
criterion for the valuation of adjoin-
ing property, or even of this, partly
for reasons given above. Moreover,
iteften happens the deed does not
give the correct figures. The price
mentioned in the deed is in very
many instances larger than the
actual sum paid. Many of these
transactions are trades, transactions
in which an extravagant price is put
