ONE Of the results of the new taS
laws, including the much-criticised
Avis act of 1906, is to be found in the
tabular statement contained in the
'Comptroller's report, just issued. 1t
shows that the taxable value of all
property in the State, as assessed for
school and local purposes, is 81, 579. 2lO,-
O7S.02, as compared with $1,153, 1852,
961.1 for 1905. The increase is S4l6,-

mainly of personality. that should be

share of the public burden. The Avis
law is working well, and it's great

a tax-shirkerwill desire its repeal.

the member who introduced it so de-
sired. President Minch, in his adj
dress on taking the chair said There
was never time when the public SER
yant more fully realized his response
bilities to the people. There was
nevera time when the interest Of the
Individual was so manifest in public
affairs and this augurs well for the
future of our State. The spirit Of
broad independence is dominating the
public mind. 1t prevails everywhere
and nowhere more than in our own
State. Partisanship in public affairs
is frowned upon the only partisanshir
that will appeal to the people is that
adherence to the right demanded by
men in every walk of life. The people
of all stations are completely informed
and are fully able to discern for them

act and nothing less than an unselfish
devotion to the public veal will suf-
