BLACK ON THE TAX RATE.

Charles @. Black, late Democratic
candidate for Governor of New Jersey,
and now a member of the new Tax
Equalization Board, is at it again, and
been caught, of course. In discussing
the limited tax rate law he figures it
out that it will result in railroads
paying reduced local tax rate on
present valuations while the property
of individuals will pay the same rate
as railroad second class property, but
on greatly increased valuation" In
order to arrive at this opposition to
the law he assumes that the State
Board of Assessors will not increase
valuations of second class property
while the local assessors of individual
property will be compelled to increase
assessments Satisfied with his con-
clusion that the limited tax rate law
will not do, he says it will be repealed
by the Legislature next winter. State
Treasurer Briggs, who seems to have
an excellent memory in. such matters,
makes public the fact that so far back
as 1891, Charles G. Black, in the report
of the State Board of Taxation for
that year. favored a maximum tax
rate as the only means toward equali-
zation of taxation. That recommen-
dation of the State Tax Commission,
indorsed by Albert II. Slape, Theodore
Hopler and Charles @. Black, all of it's
members, has met with favorable ac-
tion by Republican Legislature four
teen years after it was first made to
Democratic Legislature, which ignored |
it. And Mr.. Black, one of the authors
of the proposition, in his recent inter
view regarding the law, has again |
shown his inconsistency on the tax
question. He appears to have no fixed |
views on the question at all, regulat- !
ing them to suit his partisan bias as
occasion may require. 1t is too bad
that Mr.. Black should be so vacillat-
ing on the one question which his
party processes to hold him to be an.
expert, TOT, declaring fourteen years
ago that the limited tax rate PROPOSE
tion " is founded on deep-rooted prin-
cipals of sound public policy" he is
now inclined to pull it up by the roots
because he fears increased assessments
for taxable purposes might not be
popular. He leaves out of sight the
TACT that governing bodies under the
United tax rate would be restricted
n their expenditures to the actual ne
;essities of government and be re-
strained from extravaganza by incur
ing obligations that would demand
increased assessments, He is also now
'bliyious to his former belief that 9 it (
would of necessity equalize taxes a.
that very many good men
AVE reached and ayowed in their adj
iocacy Of the limited tax rate. 1t /

 Miss Johnson, who will preside in the liberty car, is one Of the most beautiful young ladies in the city and that she is popular is attested by the handsome vote she received.
