TAX ASSESSMENT.

WHEN one speaks of the quest
ion Of tax valuations he is tread
ing on slippery ground, for there
is no question about which there
is so much difference Of opinion
with all opinions looking to the
same end-that is, lower taxes.
As a matter Of fact the tax rate
is too high in Durham when one
considers the valuation of pro-
perty. We see no good reason
for a mans property to be val
ued at one-half or two-thirds of
its real value and the tax rate
remain at a big figure, when if
the property was truly valued the
rate could be reduced.
The assessors for Durham are
on their rounds now, and we
have been told that all rorts of
schemes have been resorted to
by persons owding more than one
or two houses and lots, among
them being the fact That the per-
son owning property learns in
some way when the assessors
will be around and make it their
business 10 accompany them and
point out the defects so that the
rate will not be increased. There
is not any real estate in Durham
that has not increased in value
at least one-third since the last
assessment was made, and in

IT is out of place to hear Of
ficials of the government or any
body that has anything to do
with people that wear uniforms
complain because the uniform is
not honored, when as a matter
of fact the fellows seem to take
the uniform they are wearing as
license to do as they please, and
it usually pleases them to be OBJ
noxious to every body with whom
they come in contact. When
soldiers or others that wear uni
forms, honor themselves people
will have a greater regard for
them and consequently the uni
form will be honored. People
will not, and should not honor a
crank, and il makes no difference
what kind Of clothes you put on
him.

DURHAM, N. c.. June IA, 1907
HIGHWAY SPEEDKAYS.

Mention has been made in
these columns of the reckless
way in which automobiles are
driven out on country roads near
town, and also in the city limits.
On some streets in town it is
dangerous for people to be in the
street at all--especially children.
Those who have fast horses and
automobiles should have a track
for the purpose of speeding up
if they want to, and not use the
public thouroughfares for such
purposes and the city and county
authorities should see to it that
violaters of the law should be
punished to the fullest extent,
for no man has the right to en-
danger the lives of others by
recklessness on his part.
The county commissioners have
published the law regulating the
speed of automobiles and motor
cycles, and those who pay no
heed to such timely warning
should be made to feel the arm
of law. The following from the
Statesville Landmark expresses
well what should be the course
of the officers of the law:
In Asheville a few days ago a
bicycle rider ran over a boy and
seriously injured him. At. first
the injury was thought to be ia
tai. The accident moved the
Citizen to remark that public
streets were never intended fol-
speedways," a truth which is toe
often overlooked in these days OF
automobiles, smart traps and
fast horses. The laws which all
towns have prohibiting fast driv.
ing, etc., should be rigidly en-
forced. Drivers of fancy horse:
automobiles are to often Grimm
ally careless of the rights o.
others and the lives and limbs o.
innocent persons are often en-
dangered by their recklessness
Public streets are not speedways
If horses want to be raced o.
automobiles driven at high speet
they should be taken to rae
tracks or somewhere other thai
on the streets; and people VIII,
persist in this sort of racing
should be given a taste of tn
law they will remember ever at
ter.

OF course we are not saying
one thing against the idea that
people should keep their prem
ises in good condition, but it does
seem that the people that own
vacant lots on Main street should
keep them in such shape that
they would not be a nuisance.
Whether it is unhealthy or not
it always looks bad to see a LOT
of green water standing on va.
cant property. We do not ex.
pect to see anything done about
such places for the sanitary of.
ficers are too busy looking after
the suburban property to see
such places.

WHILE the city aldermen are
figuring on pure milk and other
things for the city. they should
at least see if some way other
than hauling dressed beefthrough
our streets uncovered could be
devised. 1t appears that those
that sell meat would see to it
that their meat was protected
while being carried to the mar
ket, but they do not, and this
should be a matter for the city
aldermen to see about.

We have no reason to advance
why the weather is as it is, but
all kinds of people that want
their name in the paper are tell

were boys one summer, and
those that would pose as prophets

of their lives to tell somebody

( The next days of note which viii
be celebrated by the Catholic church
viii be All Saints Day. which is the
first Of November. on which appIi-
cations are made for the souls of the
faithful dead This day is observ-
ed in honor OF the departed, and the
supreme idea of the day is the life
Of the blessed in paradise. 1t is d
day on which people should look
over the past year and see what they
have accomplished with the means
that God has given them. This fes-
tival was celebrated first in the
eastern church as early as the fourth
century before it was recognized by
the western church. and takes its
origin from the conversion of the
Pantheon at Rome into a Christian
place of worship when it was dedi-
Gated by Pope Boniface ".
The day after All Souls Day will
also be observed. This is festival
peculiar to the Roman church and is
celebrated on behalf of the souls
who have not yet been given ad-
mittance into heaven. The altar in
the churches. will be draped in
black and masses performed.
The first Sunday in December will
he ,he occasion for the forty hours
devotion at which time the most SOL
emn requiem services of the year,
will be celebrated. The first sun
day in December is the beginning of
the church year when the services of
this order will take place in the
Cathedral and then be followed up
by all the churches in the diocese
each one observing a different Sun
day until the devotions have been
observed throughout the entire di-
geese.
