PERSONAL PROPERTY
ESCAPES TAXATION.

1t is notorious that personal property
taxes are everywhere evaded, and that
the proportion of such property ac-
tually taxed in the large cities is in
significant compared with the total
mount.
In the State of New York, according
to some figures recently published by
the World, the total assessed value OF
personal property is only 81 per cent
of the amount of the tax roll. which
goes to show that real property pays
nearly all the taxes. In most cities and
States, although of late years there has
been an actual enormous gain in wealth
the personal property assessments show
a decrease. In Ohio bank balances are
subject to taxation. but while the de-
posits in the banks OF that State
amount to $3.50, 900. 900, only 5000. 900
appears on the tax roll.
Figures like these go to show that
taxation of personal property is gen
orally a rank failure. Its principal ef-
feet is to promote perjury. 1t falls
hardest upon the comparatively few
who are sufficiently conscientious to
make a correct return, but the great
majority escape through concealment
OF property or false swearing. And
perjury is sought to be justified in this
regard by the plea that as false state.
ments are the rule the property owner
would do himself injustice by making a
correct statement.
Despite this bad showing, a few pub
lie men are bold enough to advocate the
abolition of personal taxes, because to
do 50 might be regarded as seeking to
favor the rich at the expense Of the less
well-to-do. And so the farce of taxing
personal property goes on from year to
year, aud there seems to be no prospect
of any radical change.

of the present system of electing United

the people will awaken to the fact that

No Longer Any Doubt of Hfs Politics.
Senator Hardin has announced that
he will no longer affiliate with the
Democratic party and that ~henceforth

Mr.. Hardin's Democracy has been OF
a negative character for some time, in
fact ever since his election four years
ago and during the recent Senatorial
election his vote was considered doubt
full for the Democratic candidate. 1t is
doubtful if there will be as much joy in
the Republican camp over the new re.
cruit as there will be among the Demo
Gratis at his desertion. At least it Is
now known where he stands politically.
Mr.. Hardin claims that he has full.
filed political promises by voting with

1t might be pertinent to ask how he
voted on the Fellow Servant Bill? The

Senator Williams of Churchill County
belongs in Japan. Last Friday in the
Senate at Carson, when the resolution
memorializing Congress to exclude the
Japanese from invading the United
States came up on final passage. he
voted against It's adoption, thereby pro
claiming himself in favor of allowing
the little brown men coming in droves
to this country, and taking the places in
factory, ON railroad and farm, which
rightfully belong to American citizens.
To the credit of the Senate let it be
said that only one other vote, that OF an
incompetent, was recorded against the
resolution. Senator Williams vote
upon this most important measure con-
yicts him Of being the friend OF the
cheap Japanese laborer and the foe of
the American laborer. He does not be-

Government Did Not Request "Ca,s0t l
1t has been extensively circulated
throughout the State that the United
States Government had requested the
Legislature to prohibit the sale of liquor
along the irrigation canals, and Cover
nor Sparks has been severely criticised
for vetoil z the bill, because of the re-
quest of the Government. In order to
show the utter groundlessness of this
attack on the Governor, we quote the
following from a letter received from
Governor Sparks.
"Inasmuch as it has been stated that
the Government had appealed to me as
Governor by letter. asking for co-opera-
ton concerning the restriction Of the
sale of liquors within the limit pre-
scribed, such request never reached me
or my Office. The request would have
been Incorporated in my message and
the document placed on file with the
Legislative body at once. Since this
wilful attack was made against me,
members of the Legislature have come
to me asking the truth or falsity Of the
statement in this particular. I posi-.
lively denied its truth and, further, re-
ferring to this attack in this particular
instance, it is beyond my comprehen'
sion why such malicious accusations
should have been made against mysel1
and the Legislature"
Governor Sparks denial of any
knowledge of the request of the United
States Government for assistance il
restricting the sale of liquor along the
irrigation canals is straightforward ant
it will carry conviction to the mind O.
