FALSE NEWS

DO the best it can, no newspaper
can present news which VIII always

are fallible and the people they deal
with in getting information are fall

are bound to creep in, says the Find

The newspapers usually get the
blame even when the fault is IN no
way their own or that OF any OF their
agents. The man who gives false

In some states deliberate misrep-

and. while the statute is not often
appealed to there, its presence can
be made effective occasionally. A

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

The reports of the assessors drift
ing into the comptroller's office in
dictate that our tax laws have not
yet established that degree of equal
ity which was their objective. Many
counties have compiled with the full
rendition law IN some measure OF
good faith, but In many counties the
assessment rates are just as low as
before the full rendition law was
enacted This has resulted in ac-
centuating inequalities rather than
correcting them.
1t is obvious that if some of the
counties increase their assessments
and the others do not. the result
will be that the counties which try
to comply with the law must bear
greater burdens, while those which
evade it will pay SON less.
The counties which contain the
larger cities Of the state have shown
great increases of taxable values,
but some of the best counties in the
state show decreases This portends
| thu appr, ac- of tie time when the
counties with the larger cities VIII
have TO bear the main part of the
states tax burden--an object which
is kindly regarded by a certain class
of politicians who thrive by pro-
noting class hatred when they can.
1t is the belief of the Post that
the full rendition law Will eventu-
ally prove the most unsatisfactory
as an equalizing measure. In other
words. it is going to fail to meet the
eXpeetations of hos who formulated
il. The Post must not lie understood
as Directing to the principle OF full
rendition Ii believes that if the
state could obtain full rendition in
fact as well as in name, there would
be no room for complaint But eX-
perience is showing that the new
law does not in reality compel full
rendition. and there is no likelihood
that it ever will. And so long as
il fails in this respect it is bound
TO produce as much, possibly more,
inequality as the old statute which
it superseded.
Taxation is the problem of all
generations Many statesmen have
thought it solved whan some Lew
expedient or other became effective,
but experience has never failed to
demonstrate to the contrary. And a
