CetterS tO tbe GdftCr
Taxable Assets.

Editor The Advertiser:
 There is enc matter in our methods or taxation that Is inexplicable. The law assumes to know the exact tax rate necessary for any given purpose; TOT instance. a tax of 2 1-2 mills on the dol a tax of 3 mills suffices for the schools; a, tax of 1 mill is an abundance for the old soldiers to come home to-.
 Why should the law not know the knows the assets of the State except the Tax Assessor. There are sixty seven county Tax Assessors, without any shadow of rule for determining the valuation of the tax-paying proper ty by them, all or severally. The AS- sessor Is out of date. The law should assess the ppy;.,oo, property; Convention knew beyond reasonable doubt that 61-2 mills is the proper outside tax rate, why cannot the Legislature ascer- tain the sum total to which the rate
 All the land in Montgomery County has a value. The value can be ascer- tained by townships. Why should not shall attach for purposes of taxation to lands in each township of every county by the acre? A. the value of real estate, unimproved' in each ward of the city and tax it ac- cordingly? Why should not the Legis- lature say what a silver watch is worth TOT IdAdIlOH lGA dtl SAANOA accordingly?
 The problem of taxation Is equity in the tax. The tariff Is burdensome, pen sions to Federal soldiers paid from without the State of residence of the pensioner are burdensome because of inequality of the burden.
 But equity in specific taxation is pos sible. Rockefeller takes street car and pays cents fare; a hello girl on the next seat pays the same. The freight charges on bacon are the same to all varieties of consumers. These specific charges are found to work well. All taxation that knows rate should also know the dollar that pays the rate and collect accordingly from rich and poor alike on that dollar
 If the State had knowledge of it's as- sets. lands by the township. city lots by the block and ward, its financial affairs could be as certainly regulated as the business of a wholesale grocer But the State Is ignorant of It's as- sets. Hence 1t must pay $50.000 to get the Legislature together to regulate in between times. J. w. D.

WE CERTAINLY WILL.

A Republican contemporary, The New York Mail. has an editorial on the names given the new counties formed at the recent session of the Georgia Legislature, noting especially that three of them are good Lost Cause names," and adds this advice: "Em- balm the Lost Cause in local names. gentlemen of the South. Its story Is dear to you, and also romantic"
 This is somewhat different from the ill-natured sneers not infrequently to be found in Northern newspapers, which seems to think 1t smacks of treason for the Southern people to still love and honor the memories of those who made the short life of the Confed- eracy glorious beyond the power of critics and enemies to dim. There Is no dlsloyality to the Union in keeping alive In the breast of all Southerners, present and future. a feeling of love and veneration for those who nobly died or bravely lived for the right. The homer and the memory of those heroes and statesmen Is our own and we maintain and sustain 1t in our own way. Whether we bestow the names of our great men on our posterity, or fix them for all time in the name of counties and towns it Is our own act and we are proud that no true South ern man or woman Is ashamed of 1t. or thinks 1t necessary to apologize for 1t. The story of the Lost Cause Is dear to us, 1t Is romantic and it Is superbly glorious and honorable.

JAPAN VICTORIOUS.

In spite of the way in which the Russians receive the peace arrange ments they have no cause for exul- tation. beyond that which should be felt by all civilized people over the ending of bloody and disastrous war, Japan has acted nobly throughout all the negotiations and her last act will add enduring glory to her name.
 She obtains all that she had been contending for during the period Of hostilities and Russia had to yield them. In view of the fact that all that remained in the way of peace terms was a demand for money and that Russia would not yield on this point. Japan yielded, although pay nant for her war expenditures would

Government Control of Railroads a
 Failure In Australia.

New York Herald.
 Just at the present moment, when the subject of municipal and government ownership of public utilities in this country is absorbing so much attention the utterances of w. J. Sowdon. editor and proprietor of The Adelaide (South Australia Register, Journal and ObseE- yer, who is a commissioner of his gov ernment sent here and to other coun- tries, are Illuminating. MT. Sowdon is a member of the Board of Governors Of the National Public Library. Museum and Art Gallery Commission. He Is also president of the National Reform Political Organization.
 we have had sad experience with government ownership" said MT. Sow don, who Is Quartered at the Hotel Manhattan Nearly all of our public utilities are administered by govern ment. with the result that politics dom mate them and the public service is wo- fully nnisadmInistered. Not all of the tramways are in the hands of the gov ernment, but with the slovenly example of the government railroads and gov ernment tramways to copy we find our selves in a sad way.
 gro begin with. the service is con trolled by the premiers of the variousu provinces, who represent the dominant political parties and run the railr Ids largely as personal political properties The roads do not pay properly, the tar iffs on passengers and goods are high compared with yours. and the employees having life posts, are not amenable to discipline or to public sentiment"

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IF.

The comments brought out by tina death of the late Jacob l.. Greene. of Hartford,l Conn. suggest one of the most discouraging features of Ameri- can public life. For twenty-seven years he was President of the Con- necticut Mutual Life Insurance Com pany. which position he held at the stinfs-uf his death. When his estate was wound up it was found that 1t amounted to a httle less than $55,ooo and this is commented on all over the country. It Is apparently looked on as something to wonder at that a man who had for almost a generation held a good position with liberal salary should not have been at least a mill lionaire. Some people seem to think he failed to make good use of his op- portunities for getting rich.
 It is not a creditable view to take of the case, but truth compels us to admit that there is some ground for 1t. So many men in good and responsible positions have feathered their nests at the expense of those who trusted them that an exception to the habit is looked on as g phenomena. and we believe there are those who really blame him for not raking off a good pile of the funds which went through his hands.

T do not believe that the band of the Capital City Guards intended any of fense to the people of Montgomery by playing the Battle Hymn of the Repub- lic.'" said an observant man. "The piece is stirring and is an excellent march and I don't believe that the me- groes associated 1t with the words Hang Jeff Davis to Sour Apple Tree I have frequently heard it sung with the words, Hang John Brown to Sour Apple Tree Surely no Montgomerian would take offense at those words. l have heard the hymn sung by college boys of Alabama at football games fre- quentIy, different words of course being used.
 "On the same Sunday that the negro band played the alleged offensive air, I heard a musical organization at one of our parks play Marching Through Georgia What tune could be more of fensiye to the Southerner, who retains any bitterness toward the North? Marching Through Georgia was sung by Sherman's men on their barn burn ing and home destroying march to the sea. Everything that was cruel in the invader is called to mind by the tune. And yet nobody hissed the music.
 T think the negro military company ought to be mustered out of the States service. It was a mistake to muster them in because the State has no use for them. If they are to be mustered out let's be fair about 1t and assign the real cause"

not have been regarded as an unrea- sonable exaction.
 We'll and truly can Japan look with pleasure upon the Portsmouth con- ference, for by its terms she secures Port Arthur and all the advantages accuruing therefrom. It is possible that by future arrangements with China this may be yielded to that country. Manchuria Is restored to China and all the world will have equal privileges there instead of Russia alone. It is on this point largely that Japan entered upon the war. for Russia had violated her agreement as to her action in the Chinese province.
 If any country has right to first choice in Korea it is Japan and her rights there are fully recognized by the terms agreed on.
 sakhalin Island, which 's a sort of strategical position. at the beginning of the war was in Russia's possession. Now 1t is to be equally divided and neither country can fortify it..
 Russia has signally failed to gain an ice free Pacific port and largely for that did she risk the hazard of blood and treasure.
 The whole world will be benefited by the ending of this great war. but Japan can more than ali countries be congratulated on the outcome.

Montgomery. to make recent investi- gations--I beg to say, that without any previous knowledge on sry part. | was make recommendation of a suitable successor for Mir. Buckley as the re- suit of an inspectors report.
 For the condition of any officials of- suredly cannot be held accountable.
 I may say further that MT. Buckley has shown himself my friend in the removal nevertheless I have no earth ly objection to any investigation that can be made by MT. Buckley or Mir -body-else as l am open to any inspection officially, politically or per- sonally.
 This is not the first time that have been assailed by people as i'll advised are just as auestinable. therefore I take this occasion to state that never make recommendation for an office without first consulting the rep resentative business and professional men of the community affected, re- gardless of politics.
 Go to the people of Birmingham, of of of of pf sSsaeh hae Florence, of Lafayette, of Marion, of Pratt City. of Uniontown, of Linden, of Centre. of Hayneyille. of Hurtsboro, of Mountain Creek, of Greensboro and a hundred other places that I could mention where I In part assisted in the selection of their postmasters and ask them if have not discharged my duty well. If they have not as good or better service than they have ever had; if they did not participate in the selection of their .postmasters and if they believe from the character of the men appointed, there was any barter or trade, or that I received any per- sona1 benefit
 have conscientiously served the best interests of the Departments at Washington and the people at home and shall continue to do so regardless of the attacks of those persons and papers who would seek to destroy me by false charges and base instructions. I trust that you will pardon the length of this letter but your paper has been used as a medium of attack on me and in my capacity as public servant. I must take the people into my con- fidence for there lives not a man who believes more strongly in a government of the people, for the people and by the people.

Governor Jeiks' Position in Favor of
 National Quarantine Commended.
 Memphis CommerciaI-Appeal
 Gov9rnor Jelks of Alabama and mem are reported as engaged in an effort to cause Alabama Commonwealth to champion the cause of a Federal Marine 9nar;antins0 n0 The 1sT Snd sheuld receive the support not only of the people or Alabama, but of the other States Of the South
 pIagues of the kind before they reach the coast line of the United States Is duty rightly belonging to the Govern- suming this duty in the past because of various reasons of essentially local nature, but the magnitude of the inter ests involved in preventing the entry or disease into this country outweighs the combined business and political o6Jec, tions of the opponents of the Federal Marine quarantine. Besides the health both politics and business. and the sooner the Southern States get together on this question of health and relegate politics and certain local interests to the background the better IL VIII pc TOT this entire section.
 No one State is properly equipped to maintain a strict routine of guarding the coast from the entry of disease. Moreover, local interest would more than likely cause one State to estab- fish an easy quarantine when another is putting a strict one in force. There is nothing to be gained by leaving this marine fight to the States, but every thing to lose, while, on the other hand, the Government Is amply able and we believe quite willing to make uniform and effective warfare against the lh- vaslon of every sort of disease.
 A five or six days delay in quarantine of vessels from. Susplclous ports VIII doubtless delay shipping from those ports, but the trifiing cost of this delay ought not to stand for moment against the health of a great section Of the country. Therefore, we would urge the prominent men of every Southern State to join hands with Governor JelkS and use their best efforts to cause their respective States to fall into line to
 the end that the demand for Federal Marine quarantine may be universal. Louisiana benefiting so largely from the Federal Marine Service, should De the first to take this position. Mlssls- sippi, forced to borrow money to nght the plague, will doubtless recognize the economy and wisdom of transferring the battle to the Federal authorities. | Georgia, South Carolina and Florida will doubtless be glad to fall into line. Tennessee, we are certain, will not be found backward, and if the people of Arkansas know what is good for them and we think they do-they will make the fight of their lives to secure pro l lection along the coast which will elim- mate for the future political wrangltng over the States health.

 Tn Alabama criminal assault on a white woman by a negro is punished with death, sometimes illegally, we admit In Massachusetts the same crime is encouraged and virtually en- dorsed by giving the negro brute a term of four years in the penitentiary. That is one difference between Mas aachusetts and Alabama. Read the plain words of the Chattanooga Times in another column. Massachusetts or any other State which has no more re- gard for the safety of It's women and girls than is shown in this case is sowing dragons teeth and is bound to reap a terrible crop of trouble in the not distant future. if we may take this Boston case as a sample of what the people up there think of such crimes.
