Judge McIver was one Of South

quarter of a century he was on
the supreme bench of this State,
eleven years of which time he
served as chief justice. During
these long years of service, ever
conscientious, ever true to the
trust in his repose, he displayed
most distinguished ability, and at
the time of his death and for
years previous, was Justly recog.
nlzed as South Cardinals most
eminent jurist.

as it does brave deeds in times o1
war, and deeds equally as heroic
IN times of peace-a record mad,

LAST RECOMMEN-
DATIONS.
Taxation and Assessments-Chlld

Educational Attachment
Other Features
of the Message.

Governor AcSweeney, in his
last message to the legislature,
congrstulstes the people on the
good feeling which prevails and
upon the absence of factional bit
terness. He refers to the great
material progress that has been
made, the further promotion of
which should be one of the chief
aims of the Legislature.
He refers to the financial deficit
and declares that the approprla-
tions should he kept within the
amount the levy will produce. He
discusses the question of taxation,
and on the matter of assessment
he says:
"Ts adopt percentage of ac>
tual value would be plain viola
tion of the provisions of the CON-
stitutlon. It makes little differ.
ence to the taxpayer what the
basis of valuation is 50 that all
property is assessed in the same
ratio of value, for a certain
amount of money has to be raised
to meet the expenses of govern
ment, and if the valuation is high
the rate is low, and vice versa.
The inequality which now exists,
however, makes the burden bear
unevenly, and the best plan is to
require that the mandate of the
constitution be followed. If one
county Is assessed at 80 per cent.
OF actual value, one is paying too
much or the other is paying too
much or the other is paying too
little of its proportion fthe state
tax. The tax for the county pur.
poses makes little difference.
