To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 The federal census being the authority real estate and town property in Ala bama in the year 1S60 was worth Sl27, ,0OO,- 900 round numbers. The state collected taxes from this species of property, that year. $316514.53, a very low tax.
 Now, this same species of property, by the same authority had fallen in value in this state in 1900 to sS6, 100000, round numbers, but the taxes collected from 1t by the state in the latter year amounted to SS19, 397.77
 For convenience of statement, say from property that had fallen in value 35 per cent the state collected 125 per cent in- creased taxes in the latter period
 There are many evidences of inequality of taxes in the past and much proof going tc show that the general question of equitable assessment of taxable prop erty has been avoided by the legisla- ture. If there Is any sufficient reason why the legislature should not itself fix the value of subjects of taxation in Ala bama. as Congress fixes the value of each federal taxable subject, what is that reason? The tariff tax is of two kinds, QJ specific, that is, so much on the subject named, and @ ad valorem, mean ing d tax per cent on the value of the subject In either case, the federal statute prescribes the limit of the tax Why should not Alabama statute fix the value of at least the elementary sub jects of state taxation? The expense of assessing and collecting state taxes. Is hundreds of thousands of dollars In fees;

THE VOYAGE OF LIFE
AN ALLEeoRY BY DR. SAMUEL JOHNSON.

bulent, was yet irresistible, bore him away. Beyond these islands all was dark ness, nor could any of the passengers describe the shore at which he first em- parked. Before me, on each side, was an expanse of water violently agitated and covered with so thick a mist that the most perspicacious eye could not see but g. little way. It appeared to be full of rocks and whirlpools for many sank un- expectedly while they were counting the gale with full sails and insulting those whom they had left behind.
 So numerous, indeed, were the dangers and so thick the darkness that no eau ton could confer security. Yet there were many who by false intelligence betrayed their followers into whirlpools or by vio7 lence pushed those whom they found in their way against the rocks. The current was invariable and unsurmountable. But, though 1t was impossible to sail against 1t or to return to the place that was once passed, yet it was not so violent as to allow no dexterity or courage, since, though none could retreat from danger, yet they might avoid it by an oblique di- rection.
 It was, however, not very common to steer with much care or prudence; for, by universal infatuation, every man ap- peared to think himself safe, though he saw his consorts every moment sinking around him; and no sooner had the waves closed over them, than their fate mis- conduct were forgotten. The voyage was pursued with the same jocund confidence; every man congratulated himself upon the soundness of his vessel and believed him self able to stem the whirlpool in which his friend was swallowed, or glide over the rocks on which he was dashed nor was 1t often observed that the sight of wreck made any man change his course, if he turned aside for moment, he soon

1 nine-tenths of which might be saved to the tax payers if state laws. as direct in application to the end aimed at as federal laws should be successfully op- erated.
 At any rate, our taxing methods are crude. They oppressive in fact whether so understood by the oppressed or not. Active candidates for the fiscal offices are not interested in fiscal re- form and so the situation runs from one election into another, unobserved by the voters
 Governor Oates, fin 1896, sent a message to tho general assembly discussing the fact of inequality of state taxes and as a reform In method, advised that the office of county tax collector be made appontive by the governor. The assem- by paid small attention to the executive counsel in the premises.
 ,rovernor Johnston succeeded Oates in office and at once bent his energies to the more equitable assessment of taxes. He procured additional examiners of pub lie accounts. and procured the law cre- ating the back tax commissioner.
 Johnston's measures undoubtedly ef- fected substantial reforms, yet when Jell.s came into office the evil remained so plain that he instructed the state examiners to study it as they pursued their regular work. from county to coun- Iy- lHe result O1 1ONeTnOT JelKS OTQPT was, the exposure of most glaring in- efficiency of assessment of state taxes.
 Immediately after the primary election ot the fall of 1906 the nominee for gov ernor MT. Conner took up the vital ques- ton of reform In the assessment of taxes. Citizens nominated for the legislature participated to some extent in his deliber- ations. We have the present state tax commission as the fruit of this long and Ia bOri0nG effort tO aPpOmDligl a reqult py the governor nominated and his CO., laborers.
 Circumstances of daily occurrence go to vindieate the wisdom of the law creating the commission and the action of that body, in open light thus far proves the exceptionally fortunate appointment of the men composing 1t.
 Taking the next three years as test of the effect of the work of the state tax commission, it may be safely pre- dicted that the science of taxation will be advanced. An increase of subjects. lowering of the tax rate and an equal izaton of the taxes levied are inevitable,
 We are told by some well meaning persons, here and there, that "the peo- ple' did not ask for state tax commls- sion Who are 'tthe people?' Two mill lions of us live within the state bounds. Our laws put forth only about 230.000 reg istered voters. After a most vehement ehort to get every voter to the polls less than 5000 actually reached the ballot box at the November election, 1906
 We have a representative government and 5000 and less delegated all neoes- sary authority to the legislature in the premises. MT. Bryan's initiative and ref erendum can go no farther than the frac- tional part of the population, the men who vote. We are "the people" to the ex- tent that we, the few, act upon our na- tural and conventional right to make and enforce laws.

 A perpetually changing our scenes. We first leave childhood behind us; then youth: then the years of ripened man hood; then the better and more pleasant part of old age"
 The perusal of this passage having ex- cited in me a train of reflections on the state of man, the incessant fuctuation of his wishes, the fradual change of his dis position to all external objects, and the thoughtlessness with which he floats along the stream of time, l sank into slumber amid my meditations; and on sudden found my ears filled with a tumult of labor, the shouts of alacrity, the shrieks of alarm, the whistle of winds, and the dash of waters.
 My astonishment for time repressed my curiosity; but, soon recovering my self. so far as to inquire whither we were going and what was the cause or such clamor and confusion, was told that we were launching out into the ocean or life: that we had already passed the straits of infancy, in which multitudes had perished, some by the weakness and fragility of their vessels and most by the folly. perverseness or negligence of those who undertook to steer them; and that we were now on Che main sea, abandoned to the winds and pillows, without any other means of security than the care of the pilot, whom 1t was always in our power to choose among the great number that offered their direction and assistance.

forgot the rudder, and left himself again to the disposal of chance.
 This negligence did not proceed from indifference, or from weariness of their condition; for not one of those, who thus rushed upon destruction, failed, when he was sinking to call loudly upon his as socates for that help which could not now
 be given him; and many spent their last
 moments in cautioning others against the
 folly, by which they were intercepted in
 the midst of their course Their benevo-
 lence was sometimes praised but their
 admonitions were unregarded
 In the midst of the current of life
