Taxation.

Under the auspices of the commits
sioners of the counties legislative bill
is projected having for its purpose re-
assessment of property i'll the counties
this with an effort to equalize closely as
possible all values as basis for State
and county taxation.
This is good measure, worthy of
adoption and literal enforcement.
If possible, it should enable assessors
to differentiate between stocks and
property, so that neither should escape
its share of the burden by hiding behind
the other.
The assessments for State and county
the latter anyhow, should serve also
for municipal bases. The expense of
getting different and confusing assess
mentS for towns should be saved to the
towns, and the towns made to pay for
State and county government on the
same basis as paid for themselves.
For instance, what sense is there i'll
Cumberland paying for its o"n corporate
use on an assessment of II millions, ard
for county and State use on only 9 nil
lions?
Then when question is raised be-
tween city rs. county, the latter has the
II millions pohed at it as over half of
81 millions.
This when the fact iS-9 millions is
onethird of - millions, and the county
paws two-thirds of State and county
taxation.
If there is any one thing in the science
of popular government that should be
eract, or nearly so as possible. it is
mruti0U'
By so much as the scheme III any case,
anywhere, is inequitable, it is Impressive
nothing less

Observation-Disclosures

The Reading (Pa.) Eagle of a month
ago published story taken from the
Army and Navy Jo"rnoI, official organ
of the service, detailing how Lieut..
Joseph A. Baer distinguished himself in
a desperate encounter with band of
Moro bandits i'll the Philippine Islands
last summer. The JOtrHdi says
The mix-up was the most desperate that
has vet occurred on the island. The band
of eight outlaws, headed by JIkiri, the last
and most desperate of the Moro bandits, had
taken refuge in the crater of an extinct vol
cano, 500 feet above the sea-level. Their
stronghold was cave hundred feet from
the crest, and had four openings After
slow and dangerous climbing the detach-
ment of cavalry got into position to COM
mand the four openings, and all day Friday
and Saturday, July I'd and Sd, they fought
but could not dislOdge the outlaws. The
cavalrymen feared that during the night the
Moros would attempt a death rush. The
officers anxiety was increased when around
midnight of Saturday the troopers heard a
weird song coming from the cave that caused
every man in the detachment to grab his
rifle and outen the watch fires. This was
the death-chant of the outlaws. Lieutenant
Archie Miller decided to force the bandits
from the cave soon as it became light enough
The officers took four or five men each and
attacked the four openings simultaneously.
From time to time these detachments had
to be changed because the mems rifles ber
came too hot A Colt automatic gun was
kept going necessarily. Suddenly a spear,
hurled by bandit, sailed out of the cave
and lodged i'll the side of trooper.
