Tainted Texas.
The Register fancies that the man
who would refuse money for the edu-
cation of the children because it had
been derived from the license to sell
liquor, is just d trifie too good for
practical world He would have TO
reject money from general taxes also
because the people who conduct liquor
business use the profits 10 purchase
houses and other property on which
they pay taxes He would have TO
look very carefully at any money from
any source, because directly or indi-
rectly it might have been earned
through the liquor traffic. We dare
say that whereas he is very particular
when he comes TO consider the char
acter of the school money. he is not
SO particular when he pockets the
wages or salary or profits he happens
personally to earn. He may not
knowingly accept what he calls
tainted" money, but that is merely
because he does not have the time or
inclination TO follow the money back
and discover how it was earned

PENSACOLA FLORIDA SATURDAY MORNING. MAY is, 1907.
Let the Price
Be Set Forth.

Every body is in favor of equality
of taxation until he is confronted
with the question of paying his just
and proper share of taxes. The aver
age man then finds excuses. All,
however, agree that every body else
should pay fully, fairly and contented-
ly, and that any system that tends
TO contrary state of affairs is unde-
sirable and ought to be remedied-
If this be so. it is obviously true
that public records ought to be a
guide to the assessor in fixing APP
praisement- The best guide is a
record of real estate transfers that
sets forth correctly the consideration
of sale. It is the best guide because
it is proof of the open market value
of the property, and if the price be
affected by any special consideration
on the part of either buyer or seller,
the extent by which the price is either
augmented or deprecated by indi-
vidual interest may easily be ascer-
tanned. In addition, the relative
value of properties in any section Of a
city is easily estimated with sufficient
exactness TO be fair for purposes of
taxation, and The sale price of any
piece of real estate is, therefore, the
best guide that an assessor could
have in fixing appraisements in the
vicinity of the property recorded.
Florida should insist that every
record of transfer embOdy the consid
Grafton of the sale The custom, at
least in Pensacola, is the contrary.
individuals frequently object to the
airing of their private affairs, and
look on the price paid or received IN
a realty transaction as purely and
simply private matter, the publica-
ton of which is either offensive to
their sensibilities or. in their judg-
ment in conflict with their private
interests.
The relation of a sale price to as
sessments and taxation lifts the ques-
ton of methods in recording out of !
the realm of private right into the !
wider and finer status of public duty |
and public welfare; and no man has |
any ethical right, nor should have |
legal right, to regard either his pri- |
waite sensibilities or the assumed sus- |
capabilities of his business as SUI |
perior to the common public good !
In all that makes to the common public |
good, nothing is more important in !
government than to facilitate the /
assessment of property in such wise |
that the burden of taxation shall fall |
fairly, instead of unfairly; fall in pro-
portion to the value of property, in.
stead of dispropOrtionately, for where
there is inequality in taxation, the
burden falls on those least able to
bear it, and every custom that ham
pers assessment adds to the unjusti-
fable inequalities that already exist.
