from this source we nave provided
severe penalties for failure to return
this property to the assessor, but It
is hard under the present law to de.
tect those that fail TO give 1t in. This
State has. collected the penalty in a
OF cases from the estates Of
deceased persons. What we want Is
a method that will bring this property
on the books while they are alive. A
number OF plans have been suggested
and possible the most popular one Is
to secure an amendment to the Con-
stttltIon of the state. giving the Leg
islature power to classify property for
taxation. That is, the Legislature
could put real estate in one class. oil
and gas in another, money and prom
isory notes in another and provide
a different rate of tsaation for each OF
the classes. Those that favor this
idea by putting money and promisoFy
notes at a very low rate of taxation,
the owners would give them in TO the
assessor, because the taxes would
amount to but little and they coukE az
ford to make the return. BY doing
this, they think the revenues will be
even at low rate of tau
RGon I do not believe in this meth
cd. We have started on a system of
taxation in this State-the best, be-
Iieve, in the world-that an property |
should be assessed at its true and ac-
tuaI value. If 1t is a hundred dollara
in money, tnen assess it at one hun
bred dollers. II 1T is one hundred dol: !
lars in gas well and it is worth that,
assess 1t at one hundred dollars II
1t is one hundred dollars in what-not
and the value of one hundred dollars
IS still there, assess 1t at one hundred
dollars. In my opinion. this is thu
only just and proper manner in which
to assess property. l think 1t would
be, very dangerous experiment to
give the Legislature ,powersto attempt
to classify property. 1t would result
in the arrangement of tne new tax

that its deficiency is the cause o.
anaemla, rundown conditions. and a

SUGGEST LIMITATION ON
EXPORTS OF FREE GOLD.
ACCESSIBILITY of Plan Outlined by
CITY Bank.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The advisable
ity of limiting the free export of gold
from the United States when 1t APP
pears that gold is being arbitrarily
withdrawn for the benefit OF some
other country, is discussed in the Octo-
Der circular of the National City Bank
in connection with the recent taking
of SIS, 200, 900 gold by Japan. The City
Bank says:
1T Is interesting to note that there
has been an expectation of some $751;
Ooo, 900 of gold to Japan. At this time
of the year such a movement of gold
to Japan is not a natural one. Trade
conditions between that country n
America do not warrant 1t. The move
ment is made with a view of strength
ening the reserve of the Bank of Japan.
THE present incident and the atten-
ton which it calls to the ease with
which gold may be taken from us lends
pertinence 10 the question whether 1t
would not be we'll for our government
to adopt a measure of protection
against the arbitrary expectation of the
metal which constitutes the very basis
of our financial fabric. In a word,
shall we not brow such obstacles in
the way of arbitrary gold exports as
will protect our gold supply, which Is
now absolutely at the mercy of any
nation DESTROYS of responding to a de-
mand for the metal?"

LEATHER HOLDERS
ARE TO SHARE ALIKE.
Plan Is Outlined in Colgate
Circular.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-The officials of
the Central Leather Company have
changed their attitude toward the hold
ers of the preferred stock of the United
States Leather Company, who were not
parties to the litigation compromised
last week, and which had held up the
merger of the two companies for over
two years. 1t has just become known
that the Central Leather Company Is
willing to give the same terms to these
remaining dissenting stockholders of
the United States Company. which were
accepted by the ~litigants when the in
junction proceedings were withdrawn.
James B.. Colgate & CO., who repre-
sented 80. 900 shares of the preferred
stock of the United States Leather
Company in the long drawn out fight
for better terms of exchange for the old
stock, sent out circulars to the holders
of 1,4T5,S 800 odd stock who did not join
them, offering them. with the authority
of the company, the same terms that
they themselves had received. While
the circular does not say positively that
the Central Leather officials will grant
these terms, have been given
stockholders hat all that the Leather
officials require Is the agreement of the
holders of a sufficient number of shares
to come in.

SAYS HARTMAN COULD
NOT HAVE BEEN SAVED.
Specialist Declares Operation
Was Useless.

VIENNA, Oct. 1.-The nature of e.
II. Harriman's fatal illness is described
in detail by the Austrian specialist,
Professor A. Won Struempeli, who
treated Mr.. Hartman in Vienna. In a
letter to a professional friend which
found it's way into the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse Professor Won Struem :
pell says that according to reports fur
nished by the patients own medical adj
visers he was suffering from a peculiar
form of spinal disease known as
chronic a~nchylosing spondylitis.
An examination made in Vienna by
means of the Roentgen ray apparatus
confirmed this diagnosis. and Mr.. Har-
riman was ordered to take a cure In
the Simmering Hills and at Gastein.
Mr.. Hartman was a doomed man.
No scientist in the werld could have
saved him, and all we could do was to
make the end of his life as free from
suffering as possible. On his departure
homeward Mr.. Hartman expressed
himself as exceedingly pleased and
gratified at the treatment he had re.
ceived, but we all knew that he was a
dying man"

WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Observation-Disclosures the gen.
eral list may be somewhat irregular
and dull today. higher prices are pre-
dicted for the stocks which have been
the speculative favorites for some
weeks. 1t is understood that substan-
tial progress has been made in work.
ing out a considerable number of deals
which were started months ago and
that preliminary statements regarding
their essential features are likely to
come to hand in the neal future. The
effect upon the stocks directly involved
and Upon other active issues is expect
ed to be beneficial from a speculative
point OF view. Some conservative in
terests are beginning to be a little ap-
prehensive regarding the money mar
ket, but evidently the largest spec
ulators do not feel at all concerned.
The selling wave in the market yes
terday was doubtless occasioned by the
slight fury in call money, and the in
creased demand for money. but this
fury Is now over. There Is a belief
gaining ground in we'll Informed cir
oles, hat Union Pacific will brini out
its segregation plan and that Southern
Pacific will probably be put on a
per cent. basis. Buying of a very good
character occurred in both the Harri-
man Pacihcs yesterday. and when the
market is ready to advance. the Harri-
man Paciics will Leaf the advance.
