THE MOROCCO PROBLEM.

r. OR good many years it has been evident that
r. the white man would have to take up the bur
den Of Morocco. The country is an important
by OF its relations to the Mediterranean
and the Atlantic and because of the rival interests of
France, Spain and Great Britain. When Lord Sails
bury made his famous speech some years ago about
decadent nations" threatening the welfare of their
sound neighbors it we'll understood that he in
cluded Morocco in the list In fact the Morocco
problem has been quite factor in European dipo-
macy for whole generation, and there have been
times when it threatened to become cause of war
OF late years the problem has been slowly solving
itself After the war with this country Spain was
eliminated from the list of possible controllers Of the
country That war clearly demonstrated that Spain
can no longer be counted among the nations capable
of bearing the burdens of empire Morocco must
then pass to France to Britain for it seems to be
agreed that it be much longer left in the
hands of the present incompetent possessors. For
the country as whole the British have not had much
desire, but they have been looking with longing eyes
good port and harbor opposite Gibraltar Some
of their naval authorities have declared the once for
mdabe rock fortress to be practically vaueless in
modern war 1t is TRUE no power can take it. but
then power except Spain would have any wish to
take it. Modern ships steam through the straits
without coming within reach of its guns and accord
ingy it no longer commands the passage as if did Of
yore.
What is needed now by the British is not strong
fort like Gibraltar, but base of naval supplies and
good safe harbor at the mouth of the Mediterranean
Such post be obtained either in the island Of
Minorca the coast of Morocco, but can hardly
be constructed at Gibraltar no matter how much be
the money expended The facts have been frequently
brought out in discussions Of the Morocco problem
and it has been suggested that Great Britain should
give France free hand in dealing with the country
provided France agree to permit the British to take
possession of such harbor they wish.
No announcement has ever been made of any
agreement between the two powers that or on any
other of their many points of antagonism but it has
been more than once intimated that such an agree
ment is quite likely to be effected 1t would seem
from the reports of the programme OF French inva-
sion Of Morocco that of understanding has
been reached. There many ways in which France
could gain British consent to her occupation of
Morocco even without the surrender of port as a
British naval base, for there are vexatous claims of
France in the Nile territory and in Newfoundland
whose settlement would be very comforting to a
British Ministry. 1t is therefore not improbable that
the French expedition into Morocco may be the be-
ginning of the end of that African kingdom and that
within few years may be definitely annexed TO the
empire of France

ASSESSMENTS
EXEMPT FROM
THE RAISE

EXPERT Cyril Williams ascertained yes
terday that an error has been made in
calculating the 30 per cent increase made
by the State Board of Equalization on
San Francisco's total assessment of S427,-
641s4s. According to the Political Code.
there is exempt from any raise which
NAV be made by the board named all
moneys. solvent credits, mortgages. deeds
of trust. contracts and other obligations
by which a debt is secured. it being the
law that such assessments have stable
value.
Williams has figured that the raise OF
20 per cent should be calculated on the
total roll less moneys. solvent credits,
etc, which would be as follows
Real estate ..-..-.-.--.------- Sol. 80 Z. 300

Auditor Baehr is in receipt OF a circular
from the State Board Of Equalization Civ
ing formal notification Of the raise in the
assessment roll Of this city, which con-
tains the following instructions:
In all cases where the property is subject to
a mortgage or trust deed the percentage ot
increase must first be added TO the assessment
OF the property affected and the deduction
made from the increased assessment, and the
change must cOrrespOndingly be made In the
total value column otherwise there will be
less amount Of taxes raised than is necessary
for State purposes. To illustrate. II a man IS
assessed for $1,000 tract Of land subject
to a mortgage OF $500 the so per cent in
crease would apply to the total valuation OF
$1,000 on the theory that the property has been
undervalued. so that the owner would pay
taxes on $500 not covered by mortgage, plus
$500 raise. OF $780, the mortgage OF 5000 OF
course. to be assessed TO the mortgages.
