In which J. d. striDgfellow was the

This is Mr.. Vaughn's first visit to
the South. Born and reared in Chi

glorious advantages of the South, es-
pecially Florida, and had been taught
to believe that there was nothing here
but a rough country, capable only Of
producing vegetables and malaria.

from what I had been told, that all
the State was good for was to raise
produce to ship to us fellows up
North, although / must admit that

the products of other States and Sec

that Florida was good for nothing but
the production of vegetables and

pointments, so far removed from pO-
litical influence. And it may be OBJ
served in this connection that the
general argument against State-ad-
ministered ad valorem taxes on public
service corporations loses some of its
weight when applied to Wisconsin,
| for in the Badger State the admins
tratlon of such taxes is in the hands
of men who make business, not of
politics, but of taxation.
In the selection of the chairman
of the new Minnesota commission,

the very encouraging spirit of coop
GRAFTON, so evident in many quarters,
between the university and State ad-
ministration. DR.. Frank l.. McNey,
for many years professor of political
economy in the University of Mime
sofa, is the first chairman of the new
| commission. The other members,
Senator Samuel Lord and Judge O..
NJ. Hall, are very distinguished and
exceedingly capable men, well quail
fed for their work as commissioners
OF taxation. The powers granted to
the commission give a great central
lzlng tendency to tax administration

organized April 30 of this year.
without doubt the most signifi-
cant service that the Minnesota COM
mission has rendered in its short eX-
istence of six months is in its re-as-
.essment of iron ore properties. which
in Minnesota are taxed on the general
rroperty-taX basis. These properties
have been raised in valuation from
500. 600. 900. to $3.50. 100000, which
is 40 per cent. of the real value as es-
timated by the commission. In its

and less uniform, and the attempt to
enforce it will continue the present
ANNUALLY recurring carnival of per-
jury.
"A remedy for this does exist, u
remedy simple and effective. and that
is the separation of sources from
which the State and local taxes are
drawn. Let the State obtain all the
revenue 1t needs from the sources 1t
may select. and say to the Counties
and municipalities, all the rest of the
property you may tax for your pur-
poses, as you see proper.
"lf we separate the sources from
which the State draws its support,
and leave to the Counties and munic-
ipalities the management and control
of their own methods of taxation. we
substitute for the rigid system, pre-
scribed by the State, and to which the
County must adjust itself, Il flexible
system which will adjust itself to

fish a species of home rule in this

commission has evolved a classified
ton of such properties that is both
new and admirable. Lands in the
ore belt have been classified as oper-
ating mines, prospects and iron lands.
Further sub-Classifications have been
made with reference to the difficulty
of mining, character of the ore. char
GCter of mining rights. Taking into
account these various elements af-
ieCting the value of the ore in the
ground, the commission has divided
operating mines into six classes, and
prospects into three classes, applying
a different rate per ton to each class.
I'm the neighboring State of Wis
consin, from which the young COM
mission of Minnesota has received
many valuable suggestions, taxation
has shown in recent years two sig
nificant lines of development that in
cally to the displacement of the old
| system of locally elected assessors, by
II system of assessors appointed by
the State Tax Commission, and de-
pendent for continuance in office not
on political patronage or party graft,
but on honest, efficient service. One
of these lines of development has been
the rapid extension of the State-ad-
ministered ad valorem system to pub
lic-service corporations; the other
has been a marked tendency toward
complete centralized State control of
local taxation. Even a centralized
system, such as WisCOnsins, needs to
be crowned with expert assessors.
The question has been raised in
Wisconsin whether a law providing
for appointment by the tax commits
sion of assessors for local communi-
ties would be in harmony with the
constitutional provisions for local
celf-government. The constitution
may possibly stand in the way, but
| Wisconsin's system of ad valorem
taxes on public-service corporations
demands expert local assessments, as
the accuracy of the rate for the cor
poratiOns depends upon accurate,
honest, local assessments, and the
marked tendency toward centralized
tax administration in that State gives
great promise that ere long perhaps
such assessments may be reality in
Wisconsin"
Solomon Wolff, member of Loulsi-
ana State Tax Commission, declared
that Notwithstanding all the acts of
legislatures, court decisions and in
quisitorial methods, 1t is fact that
taxes are not equal and uniform be-
tween different kinds OF property, nor
between owners of the same kind of
property. Mr.. Wolff said in part:
las u whole, we may fairly say OF
the present system that there Is an
entire absence of equality between
different kinds of property and be-
tween different taxpayers Of the same
kind of property, and 1t Is not, hui
manly speaking, possible to remedy
this condition of things, under the
present system. We may multiply
statutes and decisions, increase fines
and penalties and afiidavits, but there
is no more probability of success in
the future than we have had in the
past. As property of all kinds be-
comes more varied in its character
as our conditions become more com
pick, as our cities become more nu-
merous and larger, the attempt to en-
force general-property tax in the
manner attempted until now must
