TAX DoDGING.

The expose of tax-dodging that The
columbia State is making in its edito-
rails on the subject of the reforms pro-
posed by Comptroller General Jones
should convince all fair minded men
that reform in the assessment OF
property for taxation cannot come too
soon. The a%bsurdity, the inequality,
the dishonesty of the present condi-
ton Of affairs is o patent to necessi-
tate Argument bare statement OF
the facts make put a clear case OF
tax lodging against the people OF
South Carolina.
The inequality and dishonesty OF
the system lies in the fact that some
property owners are far more ex-
pert dodgers than others; some pay
on a so per ent valuation and others
on a 10 per cent. basis on real estate
while on visible personal property the
valuation is still lower. The man who
return cash on hand and in bank for
taxation, or pays the tax on income, is
SO rare that he is a freak.
How the much to be desired reform
is to be brought about is a most per-
picking problem, but it might tend to
improve conditions if a law should be
enacted to prevent the collection by
suit against. an insurance company OF
any sum in excess Of the returned val
uation Of any dwelling house or other
building, merchandise. machinery, ETC..
that nay be destroyed or damaged by
fire. Such a law would have one of
two efects-property owners would
either carry less insurance or they
would make honest returns to the au-
ditor. We are inclined t believe that
the average property owner woulo
make honest returns.
10 SIMILAR measure or method OF
forcing the owners of reaI estate tc
; make honest returns suggests itself
lust now, but there should be SONS
means found to make the penalty sui
fciently heavy to force owners OF
land which has a market value ot 35c
to 500 an acre return it for taxation
| at its value and not for less than ths
annual rental as farming land.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only way to cure deafness,
and that is :aused by an inflamed
condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inaamed you have a rurabling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when il is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
formal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed for ever nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces. +.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) thet cannot be cured by

it IS a matter Of greater importance to
the. South than the digging OF the
Panama canal, the status Of the
Philippines or any other issue now
before congress. The future pros
perity of the Agricultural and manu-
featuring interest of the South is in
a1arg@ measure dependent upon the
preservation OF the forests IN the
mountain regions.
If all the property, real and person
citysof Sumter was returned
for taxation at its market value the
rate o. levy for municipal pur-
poses could be cut in half. Still we be-
neve that, at the present market vail
ne of farming lands, the real estate
insthe city is returned at a valuation
nearer the market value than In any
other section Of the county. Farming
land has enhanced more rapidly IN
inrecent years than city prop
erty and valuation thai three or four
years ago represented Is to so pei
cent. Of the actual value of farm
lands now represent anywhere from 5
to- 90 per cent. Of the market value.
"A reform IN the tax returns and valu-
alton is needed all along the line.
The sentiment against lynching
grown and strengthened in South
Carolina within the past year or two
and we know Of nothing of which we
should all be prouders than this
healthy growth of enlightened public
sentiment. We may point with graft
ifcation to our agricultural prosperity
and the manufacturing development
that has taken place in South Caro-
lima, but a respect for law and order
is a mark Of higher development than
material prosperity.

Sam Small on Chancellor Walter ]

Atlanta, Ca, December 29.-The
death OF Chancellor Hill caused a pro-
found sorrow in ali Official and social
circles in the capital. He was thor
oughly acquainted with and well es-
teamed by hundreds of the leaders in
all walks Of State enterprise and they
sincerely mournn the loss Of 50 strong,
|erudite and effective an officer IN the
educational life of the commonwealth.
Until the news Of his demise came it
was hoped by all that his clean and
strenuous constitution would battle
the strength Of his disease. Now it
is felt that a forceful figure, whose
trained intellect and ripened powers
great results in h univec-.
|sity expansion work, has been untime-
ly taken away,
AS a lawyer Mr.. Hill was conspic-
uous for full equipment, judicious
spirit and fine powers of advocacy.
The bar esteemed him as an ex-
ofsthe high ethics and excel
~lencies Of the profession, and often
|signaliy preferred him to Illustrative
positions. AS a codiier of the
statutes of the State he easily ranked
next to the great Thomas r. R. Cobb,
whose genius in that field has proba-
bly, never been surpassed.
AS a publicist Mr.lHill never fell be-
low the best standards of civic virtue
and unselfsh patriotism. He was
Of those who imported his moral SEN
|sibilities into his political thinking,
and no issue, measure or opinion could
affect him unless he had~frst decided
in his own judgment that it was the
right thing" Had he been less h serf
Of a good conscience and more a host
to opportunity, he might have won the
best honors Of politics in the State.
And had he been less modest about
publicity, he would have been in 1886
the presidential candidate Of the Ma
tional Prohibition party AND made his
name familiar and honored by hun
dreds Of thousands of temperance re-
form men and women throughout
America. Z
AS an educator, his latest and best
fame has been achieved. Called IN
expectedly to the head Of the Unive.
sity of Georgia, following a long line
of i!lustrious men, such as Meigs.
Nell, L;pscomo, Tucker and Boggs,
Mr.. Hill, a laynan and a lawyer, took>
up one of the most difficult roles in
modern life. But with Characteristic
energy and devotion, he set to work
to master the details of his new Office
and soon took rank among the chief
educational figures Of the nation
welcomed into their guild and honored
for his sane scholarship and wise ad-
ministrative powers. He has in a few
a done splendid work for the uni
versity and all mis- fellow citizens who
were g.addened by it will unite to
mourn the almost tragic conclusion
of his faithful labors.

To WHOM IT MOST CONCERNS:

To WHOM IT MOST CONCERNS:
President Theodore Roosevelt and
his administration are fair to " Nor.
mons " in common with all other citi.
zens. Federal appointments in this
state were made in the face Of violent
opposition from anti" Mormon par
ties and the -"Mormon" party The
appointments made by the President
show that in such matters he listens
exclusively to the congressional dele
cation from the state.
The proposition to put in It's plat
form a plank rejecting adversely on
the "Mormons was rejected en-
phatically by the last republican ma
tional convention-tha OF 1904, at
Chicago; while the same proposition
was accepted by the last democratic
national cOnvention-that of 1904, at
st. Louis-the ."MOrmOn" plank
was presented by Fred II. Dubois, at
that time being Incorporated into the
democratic national platform.

The republican leaders in congress,
on the recommendation of Senator
Reed Smoot, struck out of the Arizona

which was intended to disfranchise

new immigration law the clause
placed there at the instigation of
Democratic Senator Dubois, by which
Mormon" immigrants were to be ex-
cluded from the United States, on the
ground OF belief in polygamy.
The republican party leaders pre-
vented the consideration and passage
by congress this year-l906-of an
amendment to the national constitu-

D@bOiS, and intended to disfranchise
the "MOrmons' in the United States.

Summed up, the facts show conclu-
sively that the republican party
throughout the whole nation is united
in defending the rights OF the Nor
mon" people as citizens. On the other
hand, they also show that the demo-
cratic party Throughout the whole ma
tion, with, perhaps, the exception Of
the democrats in Utah, is antagonistic
TO and arrayed against the Mormon"
people. In fact, there is no difference
in that respect between the so-called
American" party and the democratic
party. Even in Utah, while the dem
ocratic party has not declared for the
wholesale Acknowledgement of the
Mormon" people, 1t has declared
practically for the disfranchisement Of
a certain class of "Mormons.
1t can be shown conclusively that
not only is the republican party strong
err in this state than the democratic
party, but il is also stronger in Salt
Lake county, and consequently all
good citizens, irrespective of party,
should vote the republican ticket to
overthrow the American" party.
Conservative democrats readily ad-
nit that there are very few of their
class left in the democratic ranks;
they also admit that there are now
more Gentiles in the Republican party
than in the democratic party,
In the last city election II. =. MOI
ris, the democratic nominee for mayor,
ran considerably ahead Of the ticket,
and received large number Of repub.
lican votes. The democratic council
manic ticket was ahead Of the repub.
lican only about 4l2 votes. This year
it is county election. About one.
third of the vote is outside of Salt
Lake city. In the last county cleo
tion, with tile American" ticket in
the field, Congressman Howell had
1916 votes in excess OF o. W. Powers.
1t is conceded that the article appeal
my in the Deseret News the night be-
fore election drove Gentle republicans
into the american" ranks and "Mor.
mon" republicans into voting the dem.
ocratic ticket. The last election re-
turns show that the republican party,
in the county outside of the city
is over 900 votes ahead.
