Assessment and Taxation.

Our friend, 7. J. W., like most
other people who discuss the as
sessment of property, misunder-
stands, apparently, the difference
between the assessment and the
levy. The greatest trouble and the
greastest injustice with Our tax
system is the inequality in the valu-
alton of property for the pur-
pose of taxation. We tried to eN-
plain that matter in our editorial on
the subject, as we have endeavored
to explain it on several occasions
when engaged in the county ca1f1-
paign. Of course, if the asess-
n1ent was increased this next year,
and the legislature did not reduce
the levy, we would raise more mon
ey, but the matter of levying the
tax is with the legislature, and a
one mill tax on a valuation Of $500
will raise the same amount Of mon
ey as a two mill tax, if the valua-
ton were only 500 and if all the
property in the state could be as
sessed for taxation for its actual
value, we would then have about
S4oo,ooo,ooo worth of property on
the books instead of $2oo,ooo,ooo,
and the levy for state purposes
could be reduced from s I-2 mills
to 2 3-4 mills, and the same amount
of money raised.
The advantage of getting all
property assessed at its actual value
would be to have an equality of as
sessment, and likewise, make the
burden of taxation bear equally
among the counties. At present
some of the counties are assessed
as low as 40 per cent of value,
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-12-15
while others are assessed as high as

while others are assessed as high as
Is or SO per cent Of the value of
the property, and, therefore, the
burden of taxation for state pur-
poses bears unevenly. So far as
Our own county is concerned, it
makes little difference what the as
sessr1ent is or what the rate Of tax
alton is. because we have to raise
certain amount of money anyway,
and if the vauation is high, the levy
may be reduced, and if the valua-
ton is low, the levy will have to be
increased.
AS to the amount of taxes which
the individual taxpayer has to pay,
the thing which most concerns him
and which he should guard most
carefully: is the machinery which
expends his money. That is the
place where economy may be prac-
ticed to the advantage Of the tax
payers. If at any time we should
get surplus in the county treas
ury, it will be a very easy matter
te reduce the levy.
The comptroller general had a
meeting of the county auditors on
Wednesday and it was decided to
endeaver to get the property assess
ed at its actual value.

GIVE US TWO TRAINS.

lesion and Western Carolina, the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens,
and a number of other lines in this
state, is preparing to make a bid
for local passenger traffic more
extensive than anything yet at
tempted by. transportation compan-
les hereabout. The passenger
trains running straight through
from Charleston to Greenville, the
only direct service connecting the
two cities, are to be replaced with
vestibu1ed coaches operated on a
faster schedule.
Such an arrangement would be
the next thing to providing linn
tied train service between the Pied
mont section and the tidewater,
something that has long been need
ed.
1T is also said that the Charles
ton and Western Carolina railway
will put on another train between
Spartanburg and Augusta, giving
two trains day each way instead
Of only one. If this is to be done,
why not do the same thing for the
people living between Greenvllle
and Columbia? The short train
Between Laurens and Greenville
put on several months ago, has
proved a success. The improved
service to Columbia would also be
appreciated. It would not be bad
plan to use the new vestibuled
coaches for the longer haul and use
the old ones in doubling up the
number of trains operated during
the day. A good train service goes
a long way toward making pas
senger business s.-Greenville News.
This change would be a-great &C
commodation to the travelling pub
lie and we believe would pay the
road. We. have for long time
favored passenger train from
Greenville to Columbia in the
morning, returning in the after
noon. It would be great thing
for Columbia in business way for
it would give the people from
Greenville all the way down an op-
porturlity to go to Columbia and
attend to business and return home
the same day. The c., N. & l..
now has a mixed train from Laur-
ems to Columbia and return and it
does a fairly good passenger busi-
ness. If the train started from
Greenville and was run as a pas
senger and mail train it would do
a great deal more business. It
ought to pass here about 9 o'clock
going down and leave Columbia
about 4 o'clock returning. That
would give between five and six
hours in Columbia.
We remember some years ago
the citizens along the Southern
railway held a meeting to petition
that railroad to put on an early
morning train from Columbia to
Greenville and the railroad argued
that it would not pay below Pros
perity, but finally it was put on
and that train now does more bus
iness than the midday train and the
travel on the midday train is heav-
ier than it was before the morning
train was put on.
The same would be the case If

WHERE CLEANLINESS TELLS.

A prominent citizen of Mobile,
speaking of the yellow fever epidemic
in the SOUTH said to n Washington Post
representative last week that Mobile
is about as clean q city as there is on
the map and the people realizing that
eternal vigilance is the price of i'm
munity, have kept an eagle watch that
has never been relaxed. Had New Or
leans been as prudent, she would not
now be suffering. The plain truth is
that New orleans has brought this
trouble on herself by n degree of neg
ligcnce that is almost criminal. The
rules of safety were relaxed and quar-
antine laws were not half way en-
forced by the authorities. The in
habitants of the Crescent City acted
like residents of a fools paradise, for
getting the bitter experience of the
past. or this there is abundant
evidence"
The cleanliness of the city Of Mobile.
on the one hand. and the fltliness of
the city Of New Orleans on the other.
ought to prove an object lesson to
every city, village and hamlet on the
American continent Just now the
yellow fever is getting in it's work
in the latter city to an appalling de-
gree while. owing to her vigilance in
the matter of sanitation and cleanli
ness. Mobile is practically immune.
The trial new Orleans is now under
going should be needed by northern
cities. There may be no danger from
yellow jack but there are other
fevers. the germs of which can be
found in the filth tnat abounds in the
back alleys and other places. "A
stitch in time saves nine" is well
worth remembering by the authorities
here at home, and particularly at this
time of the year. while the long,
wearisomc hot spell is on and the sys-
tenn is most susceptible to disease
