Buried the Sixth Time.

The remains of Christophe'
Columbus were recently placed
in the cathedral at Seville. Re-
ferring to this fact, the Seville
correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle says: "lt is especially
appropriate that Christopher
Columbus should lie in Seville
cathedral, it being the last rest
ing place of Ferdinand III, of
CASTLE, who sent the discoverer
forth to sail to India, and the
Italians son also named Ferdi-
nand. This is the sixth time that
the body of Columbus has been
buried. He died at Valladolid,
in Spain, and his remains found
a resting place there. In 1913
they were dug up again and car
ried off to Santo Domingo, in
Cuba, and once more committed
to the earth. The year 1896 saw
them disinterred again, to be
placed in the cathedral at Ha
vana, and 100 years later they
were exhumed once more and
brought back to Spain"

THE TAN LAW PROBLEM.
County Auditor Cook Shows Why
AsseSsm euts ShOn'd be Made
Not by the Taxpayer
Himself.
Cor. News and Courier.

Lancaster, Jan 31-The bill
for revising the tax laws of the
State is attracting some atten-
non here, as we'll as elsewhere
The consensus of opinion here
is that the proposed changes do
not promise much, if any, i'm
provement in the present laws.
Among those with whom your
correspondent has discussed the
matter is County Auditor Cook
who is one of the most intelli,
gent and efficient public officials
IN the State Though a young
man he has had several years.
experience as county auditor,
and having been raised on a
farm, and being successful
farmer himself, he is well
equipped to look at this trou-
bfesome tax and assessment
business from both sides-that
IS to say, from the standpoint
Of a farmer and taxpayer and
as a public official, whose duty
it is to see that all property is
properly assessed for taxation.
In the interview your CORE
spOndent had with him Mr..
Cook said : Eyes | have read
the general tax bill as reported
by the ways and means commit
tee, and in my judgment, it
should be amended in several
important PARTICULARS, especial
ly in the matter of taking the
taxpayers returns. To get at
the actual valuation of property

farm in their territory, and, in
the presence of the owner, as
sess his lands, buildings, and
personal property then and
there. The chairman of each
township board should be a
member of the county board of
equalization. The duty of the
latter board should be to hear
grievances of taxpayers assessed
by the township boards.
"Where the county board of
equalization approves the as,
sessments made by the township
assessors such board should turn
same over to the county auditor,
in order that he may thereby
make up his duplicates and cal
culate the taxes from the assess
ments made by the townships
assessors and approved by the
county board
81 am confident that the bill
as reported will not give salts
faction. 1t requires, for in
stance, that the township as
SCISSORS shall meet with the coun-
ty auditor at certain places in
the township and assess a mans
property that neither the audi
tor nor the board Of assessors
has ever seen. For example :
"A has a very poor sand hill farm
Of one hundred acres, not actu-
ally worth more than three dol
lars an acre, and he has a rip
of mule worth about twenty
five dollars Never having seen
the land nor the mule, would it
be right for the township as
SCISSORS 20 assess such land at
six dollars an acre and such
mule at seventy-fvo dollars?
Now as to the assessment of
property in the month of August
and September, | do not see how
auditors could attend TO such
work at that time Of the year.
During those two months audi
tors are very busy calculating the
taxes and making up the dupli
Gates for the treasurers to collect
the taxes by.
cit is clear to my mind that if
we are to have anything like
equality in assessment and taxa.
ton that the Legislature will
have TO provide, as | have sug-
gested, for the appointment of
three men in each township,
whose duty it shall be to visit in
person each mans farm and
assess his lands and personal
property at what they believe to
be their real market value -"
Auditor Cooks view accord
exactly with those Of other in
telligent citizens here. The
prevailing idea is that if there
is to be equality and fairness in
the assessment of property and
collection of taxes the assess
ment must be made, not
by the taxpayer himself,
but by honest, disinterested
citizen in the same community.
