AS TO TAXES.

The State Is face to face with Sc
rious problem with regard to taxes.
Nearly a million and quarter is re-
:uuired to meet the present needs of the
State government. but though there is
pow about s2o4 100000 worth of prop
. erty on the books, a five mills levy does
not seem to be sufficient. The State is
running behind, the great bulk OF the
taxes not being collectible until the
spring. The State has so far borrowed
G500,000, and there will have. to be
greater revenue by about 100000 If the
State is to have any hope Of getting
back to cash basis. The quadrenniel
assessment Of real estate will be made
next year, and If this class OF prop
.erty can be. gotten on .moregequitable
basis there is some hope ofsgetting al!
sthe additional revenue sfrom this
gource. In this councillors an effort
s@ill be made tosiget law@passed re-
curing market value returns instead OF
returns on q GO per cent. basis. BY the
present Valuation there is in round
numbers SlOO,00O,00O worth of this
class Of property in the State. OF course
it is argued that'a market value return
eof this. property would be- unjust De
scause Of the ease with which personal
property lodges the tax collector, and
the fact that the constitution fixes 3
mills as a levy for school purposes Is
also used against the advocates OF a
greater valuation of real estate. But
e menace to good and honest govern
,nent and has a corrupting influence
on politics in all departments of the
