WILL EQUALIzE TAXES
Comptroller General of South Caro-

Out Injustice of Present Tax As

Columbia. Special. - Comptroller
General Jones means business III the
steps he has taken toward getting the
tax assessment OF property, real us
well as personal. in this State on
market value basis, instead Of on an
uneven pretense of 90 per cent.
basis. The circular letter of inStruc-
tions which he sent out last week TO
county auditors. assessing boards and
cornty equalizing boards directing
this the law be strictly observed with
ii. beginning of the new year and
th:t property be assessed at ITS true
ma.Iet value, will be followed this
wee; by call for convention OF
county auditors to meet with the
comptroller general has taken has
caused much talk throughout the State
and has set property holders to think
mo. OF course it is a sort of rcvola-
tionarv measure. and while the justice
and the sense of it has appealed to
MANY GOOD business mep and big prop
ertv holders regardless Of the fact
much of this sort OF property will be
affected. still the thing has not been
generally understood and there IS
fear also that the purpose of the
comptroller general to equalize the
property throughout the State more
nearly will not be successful under the
departure he is making on account of
the great proficiency and skill ndi-
viduals and communities have acquir-
ed BY long practice and experience In
the matter of tax-dodSln2.
The erroneous idea apears to have
taken hold in various parts OF the
State" Mr.. Jones said. "that this
is a scheme to increase the taxes. Such
is not the case. My object is to get
property equalized in this State and
stop this shameful tax lodging. There
are some notorious exceptions. but
generally speaking the cotton mills
and other big property holders are be-
ing assessed OH a genuine 30 per cent.
basis, and small property is being as
sessed at from 9 to 100 per cent. Only
so much money is needed to run the
State and many county officials and
the higher the assessment the greater
the WELD of money OH "a given levy,
but the levy may be easily changed.
In other words. if the assessment is
doubled throughout the State the
levies for State. county and city pur-
pQses may be cut ilrhalf.
The inequality and injustice of the
taxation of property in this State has
been a shame and disgrace for de-
cadcs.

Finally Determined
HOPES OF SETTLERS BLGn,
Secretary Root Writes IN Warn
Tone to the American colcni
Who Have Been Working Towa
Secession From Cuba and Incl
sion in the United States as q re
ritorial Possession. S

Washington, Special The admin
Stration dashed the hopes of the lit
tie band Of American colonists on the
Isle of Pines, who have been working
>oward the separation Of the island
from Cuba and its inclusion in the
United States, when Secretary Root,
after consultation with the Presidents
made public the text Of letter which,
he had addressed to Charles Raynard3
president of the American Club OF the
Isle of Pines, defining the attitude ct
..he United States government to Va
the proposed formation of Terri
torial government in the island as Q s
part Of the United States. The Sec
retary was most pointed in the state
ments in his letter, which says:
"There is no procedure by which
you and your associates can Iawfus-
ly establish a Territorial government
in that island. The island is lawful-
ly subject to the control and govern
ment Of the republic Of Cuba. and
you and your associates are bound 70
render obedience to the laws of that
country so long as You remain M e
island. If you fail'in that obedienee
you will be justly liable to prosecu-
tion in the, Cuban courts and to such;
punishment as may be provided by
The laws of Cuba for such offense a.
you commit. You are not likely fe')
have any greater power in The futlre.
The treaty now pending before the
Senate. if approved by that bod xjIf9
relinquish all claim of the United
States to the Isle of Pines, ln my
judgment the United STATES ass po |:
substantial claim to tne Isle Of Pnk14 =
The treaty merely accords to Cuba
what is hers in acc6rdance with
.ternational law and justice. ,
I" At the time of the treaty of peace
which ended the war between the
United States and Spain, the Isle Qf
Pines was, and has been for several
centuries, a part of Cuba. i have n9
doubt whatever that it continues fq
be a part of Cuba, and that it is no
and never has been territory Of ii
United States. You may be quite sn
that Cuba will never consent to e
up the Isle Of Pines, and that
United States will never try to 6
pei her to give it up against
will.'

CONSTABLES TO REMAIN
They Will Stay in Spartanburg and
Greenville.

After careful consideration Gov.
Hayward decided not to remove con-
stabulary from Greenville and Spar
tanburg counties. He also decided to
return the constables to Darlington
county to assist the officials there in
the enforcement of prohibition: :he
conditions there being such that he
felt this action on his part fully war
ranted.
Governor Heyw ard further stated
that he had found it necessary from
past experience, where elections were
held voting out the dispensary to de-
termine upon a fixed policy and not
have the question arising in each case
whether or not constab,es should be
employed. The situation under these
circumstances may appear not to have
difficulties to these who are unfami-
liar with all of his aspects but it GER
tainly presents perplexing questions
in each instance.
The governor referred to the state
nent, made by him some time ago,
that he would give the counties an
opportunity to enforce the law thro
their legal officials, as several counties
had voted the dispensary out with
this understanding. He feels that it
was only just to them that the con-
stables should not Immediately be re-
turned but he would await further re
ports and would not hesitate to take
such action as he thought the situa-
ton demanded.
Governor Hayward feels that is is
as necessary to employ eonstables in
the enforcement of prohibition IS nm
der the dispensary law, and as the law
places upon him this responsibility,
he says he does not propose to shirk
