HOW TO ENTER A NEWSPAPER
OFFICE

The Kingman, Kansas, Leader
Courier gives some suggestion as to
the proper way to enter newSpa-
per office and also what forms and
ceremonies are to- hn observed after
entrance is made. The Herald and
News would be pleased to have at
least one Of these rules observed by
those who arc delinquent on their sub
scriptions. Just at this time a few
hundred of our subscribers who are
in arrears could very easily make the
heart of this editor glad by dropping
ten dollar bills on his desk. Here is
the way suggested:
Advance to the inner door and give
three distinct raps. The 'dcvil' will
attend your alarm. You give him
your name, poStol1icc address and the
number of years that You arc owing
for the paper. He will then admit YOU.

room. address the editor with the fol-
lowing countcrSiyn: Extend the right
hand about two feet from the body.

In discussing the dispcnsary it
should not he forgotten that 50 far as
Ncwbcrry county is concerned when
it was agreed to submit the question
to the people under the Bricc bill there
was also an agreement arc"rdin"to The
provisions Of that bill tha, the result
uf that election would settle the VucS-
tun for at lraS, four years. or course
the legislature would have the legal
and constitutional right TO amend or
repeal that law but t" order an clcr-
tion in those counties that voted on
the question in less than four years
would not be good faith to the con-
tract. And this is true regardless Of
what the result was. Then if faith is
kept So far as Nrwbcrry is concerned
there can be no change here for three

ties. And the trouble is the members
Of the board from the various coun-
ties 20 to the state meeting with an
idea Of keeping their several counties
as low as possible and to see to it that
the other counties are not lowered,
rather than to do that which would be
best and most equitable for the entire
state. Cotton mill property and other
corporate property is fixed at 60
per cent. valuation while there is no
effort to cqualize on the same basis
other property in the state. 1t makes
little difference what the basis is so
that all property is on the same basis.
y tax commission Of seven appointed
by the governor and to serve for four
years or longer we are inclined to
think would be better than what we
have now. Most anything would be
an Improvement on present methods.
There is great need and room for re-
form in this matter and while it will
never be possible to have an entirely
equitable assessment of property yet
certainly we could much more nearly
approximate it than we do now.

TAX COMMISSION NEEDED.

The State Euualizatiun board didn I
do anything that we can see bu, lay
Il heavy hand ON the corporations. \"
changes were made in the county re-
turns as I" real estate. ETC.. except in
the case Of Horny and C"llrtum. where
the returns wore reduced. The board
simply accepted the returns as sent in
by the county auditors after fixing
the assessments as to cotton mills, fer
tilizcr and oil mills.
The valuation of the cotton mills
of South Carolina was increased from
Sal 100000 to 46.000,0 900 and the as
scSsmcnt was fixed at 60 per cent. of
the valuation. Only three counties in
the state. Horny, Marion and Aiken.
made returns on Il 60 per cent. basis.
All the others were under that figure
some of them strikingly SO.
The inequality Of taxation in South
Carolina is Il very serious matter. II
is not right for the corporations to
have to pay Il certain rate of taxation
while real estate in every county in
South Carolina is allowed to escape ON
very much lower figures. There is no
fairness IN the present system OF tax
alton. All interests should he treated
alike.
Al the meeting of the state board
in Columbia the past week each mem
her appeared in the attitude Of trying
to keep the assessment Of his own
county down. The whole proceedings
was farce.
South Carolina 5 present system Of
rpnaliziny taxes is drradfully out of
line with what it should be. In the
first place. il board of that kind COM
posed Of forty members is too large.
N great many counties send new rep
rcScntativcs to the board each year,
with the result that large per cent
age OF the members do not clearly un-
dcrStand the duties dcvolving upon
them. The men who remain on the
board several years direct practically
the entire proceedings. while the new
members amount to very little more
tnan nSufcneauS.
1t occurs to the News that the state
should have a tax commission, COM
posed OF seven members who shall be
appointed by the governor and whose
term Of Office shall be for four years.
-Four OF these commissioners should
represent the agricultural interests of
the state, one the banking interests,
one the manufacturers and the other
should be lawyer. The members
should each receive salary of 81 900
a year. 1t seems impossible to get
along without a tax commission or
something Of the kind. The next leg
islature should give attention to this
matter and make some radical changes
in the present system.--Greenville

The News is correct as to tax COM
mission or something else. The state
board usually marches up the hill and
down again. That is what it did this
year. No wonder some Of the men,

WHEN the new superintendent took
charge OF the peDitentlary he found
the accounts something OF a mystery,
aud Governor Hagerman hired a arm
OF expert accountants from Colorado
Springs, TO go over Superintendent
Bursum's books, and check them up.
The accountants made their report,
and 1t was printed In the Albuquerque
Journal last Sunday morning. Like

that when Mr.. Bursum took charge OF
the peniteutiary there was a defcit,
which wa paid out OF the succeeding

been carried from year TO year, and
