as low as 80 per cent of its selling
price, while Others have so per cent
basis. Some assess real estate at 33h
per cent. and tangible personal prop
erty at so per cent. The commission
concluded that there was an absolute
want of equality in taxation in the
state.
This inequality can not be RENE
died by the State Board of Equaliza-
tion, for the obvious reason that the
high rate of assessment in certain
counties, including the city Of st.
Louis, is enforced by the pressing de-
mand for revenue for local require
ments The board can not raise the
assessments of the counties which
make a low valuation, as that would
be imposing an unnecessary burden
upon those communities, and on the
other hand, 1t can not reduce the as
sessment OF those counties which
make . high valuation without de-
priving them Of the means required
for their own pressing public wants.
I'VE see no remedy for this existing
inequality and resulting injustice, ex-

A JUDICIAL WARNING.
Justice Brewer Of United States S1

Justice Brewer Of United States S1-
prems Court on Public Ownership.
There is this important difference
between public and private indebted
ness: The Individual may mortgage his
home or other property, and II the pur-
pose for which the mortgage is given
proves u failure the property may be
lost to him, and on his death his heirs
simply receive so much less than they
otherwise would, but the Indebtedness
casts no burden upon them. 1t may
wipe out his entire property and they
receive nothing. To that extent they
may suffer il Il failure to inherit prop
erty can be called suffering. But pub
lie Indebtedness Is of IL different char
acter. 1t does not wipe out property
now existing, but it casts burden
upon the industries and toll Of those
who come after lis. Interest and prin-
cipal are met by taxes. and taxes con-
tinue from age to age until the debt Is
paid. They who come after us, who
may receive little or no benefit from
the debt, are called upon to contribute
the proceeds of their labor to its pay
ment. In other words, while private
indebtedness does not mortgage or in
cumber future industry and labor, pub
lie Indebtedness does. And in pilinS
up public Indebtedness we too often
forget that the future will have its bur
dens-that there will be demands upon
it for expenditures. improvements and
conveniences corresponding to the life
Of that day will be needed. SO that
there is injustice in creating public
Indebtedness for improvements which
will be mainly available IN our day
and only to a slight degree of benefit
to those who come after US. Indeed,
generally speaking. it is fair to leave
each generation to determine what
amount of public burdens 1t will as
sumo, and each should take care or its
own public Indebtedness. - Leslies

A PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PERIL.
It Would Intrench Corrupt Political
Bosses Permanently In Power,

Bosses FeFm anentIy IN FoWeFs
Referring to the recent announce
ment that 81, 14G persons are on the
payroll of New York city, the Newark
Advertiser declares that in the event Of
municipal ownership of street railways,
electric light and gas plants. ferries
and other public utilities the city en-
plOyees would constitute political
army that would make change of ad-
ministraton impossible.
1t recalls the fact that 25000 city
employees in Philadelphia kept Phila-
delphia in the hands of the corrupt
Durham machine for years and only q
great popular uprising finally over
threw the grafters.
"If Durham had had control of the
street railroads and other public utili-
ties in Philadelphia through municipal
ownership" it Observes "he could have
laughed at popular uprisings. He
would have been as absolute in his au-
thority as the car"
The point is we'll taken.
In other cities the political situation
under public ownership would be as it
would in Philadelphia and New York.
Bosses may be overthrown and graft
ers turned out whenever the people
will 1t at present. Public ownership Of
all public utilities would end this. 1t
would bind the people hand and foot
and deliver them into the hands of pO-
litical grafters.-Long Branch IN. JD

FUNCTIONS OF THE STATE.
Interesting Analysis Made by Bishop
Stang of Fall River.

Interesting Analysis Made by Bishop
Stang of Fall River
In a recent address in st. Mary's
cathedral Bishop Stang Of Fall River
thus analyzed the functions OF the
state:
"The state should not absorb the
rights of individuals, but should keep
them inviolate unless they clash with
the common good and the interests or
others. The proper Office of the gov
ernment is to foster public well being
and private prosperity by maintaining
peace and good order, safeguarding
family life, respecting religion and
furnishing evil doers.
"Civil authority may step in to In
terfere If through strikes there Is I'M
mInent danger of disturbance to the
public peace If in workshops and fac
tories there is danger to morals
through the mixing of sexes or from
any occasion of evil, II the health Of
laborers Is endangered by excessive
work or the want of sanitary arrange
ments or If labor is unsuited to sex or
age but the state should not intervene
in or meddle with private concerns any
further than is required for the rem
edy Of the evil or the removal of the
danger The state should not only
protect private ownership as some
thing sacred and inviolable, but its pol
icy should be to induce as many people
as possible to become owners. The
possessor of the poorest cabin will not
change it for the dreams of socialis-
tic paradise"
