TAXATION AND JUSTICE EM

The city council, sitting as board ot equalization, discussed for an hour last evening the assessment to be placed on the personal property of the Pacific x Arctic railway company, every member of the council declaring that nothing was desired save that justice be done, that the taxation of the people and cer- poratious doing business here should be equitable and to all alike fair. The assessment of the railroad was raised from sI4,l2O--personal property-last year, to s76,OOO. This conclusion may be just-the matter is to be left to the courts to decide. The deciding vote was cast by Mayor Shea, who had previously, however, declared il to be his opinion that 1t should be slOO,OOO. Immediately following this adjustment the Alaska Steamship company was called. The agent of that company had voluntarily made return of sS5 ss the value of the coppsny's personal property in the city, consisting of the office furniture. The assessor had made no recommendation of a raise iu this estimate. The agent was told by the mayor that the other steamship companies had made returns of S2OO and asked if be did not think he should make the same return? The agent re- piled that he had made an honest re- turn of the value of the property. Against his protest the assessment was raised to S2OO.
 This change will net the city sl 10 and for this the whole principle Of fair play and equitable taxation upon which the case against the railroad Is based, was sacrificed and the administration Of Justice at the hands of the city council brought into contempt. If the city council SAY it is for iairplsy then !t Is beftting the dignity of that body that it BE for fairplay.

There are many citizens of Sksg' way who think the railway company should bear a larger share ot taxation. The city council, with oplrlOns ranging from s2OO,OOO to the assessors return Of sl4,l20, has de- clared that the assessment should be fixed at S76,OOO. The railroad company declares an intention Of appealing to che courts. Very well. To arrive at a judgement there the whole matter will have to be gone into fully and it was oi course with that knowledge that the action was taken by the council. In this the whole matter Of what consti- lutes personal property will be gone into and-however long it may take to arrive at it-a matter that has vexeu the community for years will be finally determined.

Scales In the Mint.

Passing through the mint. attention
was directed to a large pair Of scales
which were said TO be as fine ns any
thing In the country. They recalled
the grand balance scale used In the
Bank Of England. and on inquiry the
mint scales proved to be a worthy
specimen Of the same class. The Old
Lady OF Threadneedle Street uses a
piece Of mechanism that stands about
seven feet high and weighs In the
neighborhood OF two tons. This scale
is set every day. just as the one at the
mint Is. and is so delicately adjusted
that It will correetly weigh a grain OF
