HUNTING THEM DOWN

The desperate struggle of the state
board of equalization to hunt from
their lair fugitive objects of taxation
reinforces what we said recently about
assessing all property at it's actual face
value. One cannot but sympathize
with the attempt to get all automo-
biles listed and to raise their assessed
valuation. For 1904 the average value
Of automobiles as returned by the
county assessor is 1910. Of course this
is absurd. Equally of course when the
absurdity is pointed out the answer is
ready that all property must be as
sess at only a fraction of its real value.
When we come to watches and clocks
and sewing machines and the property
of the poor, it is generally found that,
although less able to bear a share of
public burdens, they are also less able
to escape them. Valuations climb up
higher, and there are few who escape
the assessor.
Once more the burlesque which
boards of equalization are compelled to
perform as part of our tax system
stands out prominently. We ought to
have an open season and a closed sea-
son for personal property, so that there
might be some weeks in which the as
SCISSOR could go after it without letting
it get under cover. Eventually there is
little doubt that the personal tax will
have to be abandoned as impracticabie
AS long as we retain it, let us do some
thing to make it more equitable. A
first step, we are convinced, would be
a listing of every description of per-
sonal property at it's full actual value,
with a corresponding diminutien in the
tax rate. In the absence of that, the
board of equalization can do no more
than continue it's unavai1ing struggle
to even things up. to correct certain
amount of blindness or partiality on
the part of county assessors and to
screw the necessary revenue out of a
form of taxable property which always.
regards this season of year as "the
time for disappearing"

A CONFESSION oE FAILURE

Nothing that any Democrat could
say would point so conclusively to the
hopelessness of the Republican situa-
ton in New York state as the action
of the Republican state convention.
For months the leaders of the Repub-
liean party have been going up and
down the state with fine tooth comb
hunting for an available candidate for
governor. Until late stage of the
proceedings local rivalries We're laid
aside in order that assistance might be
given to the national campaign. Word
went out from the White house that
the president wanted strong man on
the ticket to help win votes for him.
self. The strong man was difficult to
find, and when found turned deaf ear
| to all entreaties. There is no other
explanation than that the men who
could be elected are unwilling to enter
in a race where their political judg-
| ment tells them to expect only certain
! defeat.
| For example there was Secretary
Root. He was the only New Yorker
| whose nomination the Democratic par
! ty had some reason to fear. They be-
lieved that any Republican would prob
ably be beaten in New York this year,
| but Root could poll more votes for gov
ernor than Roosevelt for president. He
was dangerous man. Every influ-
ence that could be used was brought
! to bear to make him take the nominal
ton, and it passed him by only when
he had announced that nothing could
or would make him accept Gov. Odell
is the acknowledged boss of the state
today. He could have been named for
the governorship had he but crooked
| finger. Retaining in his grip the abso-
lutte mastery of the Republican party
of the state he will have none of it's
honors this year because he knows that
they will be empty.

FARMERS FOR JOHNSON

among Minnesota farmers. The utter
ances of such journal are likely to carry
weight on the occasions when it en-

are free to say that while his tariff va

personal character and general ability are
above reproach, and they eminently fit
him for the responsible office to which he
has been nominated.
