Tax Commissioner Corbln alludes to
the new legislation of 1909 which in
cludes the acts making continuous
boards of assessors, providing for the
taxation of the tangible property of
nOn-residents, for the separate valu-
alton of land and buildings, a person
al tax, the quadrennial publication of
exempted property, the state tax and
changes in the succession tax.
The only platform that q tax col
lector ought to advocate in any pofit-
ical campaign is that of the full and
complete collection of the taxes, and
tits a sad commentary on the moral
standard of any community, which
fails to uphold such a tax collector,
and puts in his place one who has
tacitly admitted that he does not ex-
pect to collect the taxes fully from a
cerain class of citizens. In fairness
to all concerned, therefore, it seems
only proper that the tax collector
should be elected for a longer term of
office, at least four years, or should
be appointed by the selectmen or
The latter method would remove the
office entirely from all possible politi-
cal pressure, and would enable the eff
ficient tax collector to do his duty in
a manner which can only be for.the
greatest possible good of the entire
community, including the delinquent
taxpayer himself.
Arsuggestion regarding the publica-
ton of assessed valuations of real es-
tataet is made by the tax commission
er as follows:
. The injustice in the imposition of
the taxation burden is not caused so
much by the percentage of assessed
valuation to fair market value, as by
the inequalities in the assessed valua-
ton of properties of a similar nature
and often contiguous. The disSatiS-
faction therefore which is so often
rightly. expressed with the process of
taxation would be largely overcome if
the cities and larger villages would
adopt the practice of printing at stat
ed periods, not oftener than once in
five years, the assessed valuations of
all the land and buildings, the same
to be arranged by streets and street
numbers, giving the value of the land
with buildings in another, and finally
the name of the record owner.
This would give all property own
ers clear method of comparison
with their neighbours; and would sure
ly result in the equalization of such
valuations on some definite basis.
Such a result, even though it did not
conform to the statutory require
ments of the full value, would over
come the actual injustice, would re-
move the valid cause for dissataisfac-
,tion, would produce an equalized
grand list, and a lower tax rate, or an
increased tax income. 1t Is to be
hoped that the cities will realize the
business advantage to them Of adopt
ing such a method. The expense Of
preparation and printing would be-
trivial as compared with the general
benefits therefrom.
=. The tax commissioner thinks that
the work of assessm ent should be
done in the spring instead of in the
fall as at present and says that a
majority of town officials would well
come the change.

minds and bodies are plastic and i'm

These people meet you with the
names of a few actors who gained
celebrity in spite of the fact that they
embarked on stage career after
they reached maturity, but every one
of these actors himself admits that
he suffered from the handicap all
through his life. Irving said so re-
peatedly, and because he attained
greatness and distinction in spite of
this handicap is no reason why it
should be imposed upon every human
being who wants to take up a stage

the same category that they do the
little ones who toll for eight or ten
hours a day in the factories and mills.
Any one who has watched the care
and tenderness with which stage chill
dren are treated and surrounded will
know that there is no excuse under
heaven for putting them in the same
category with mill hands or factory
workers. Laws for the sane, ra-

This Child Labor Committee has
also been exploiting the fact that
children of the stage are debarred
the chance of elementary education.
Now. the veriest tyro must be ao-
quainted with the fact that condi-
ton perecedent of stage work is the
ability to read and write, and as &C
tors and actresses are constantly
learning and reciting the best
thoughts Of the best writer's, it seems
absurd to say that they are debarred
from education.

There is about as much logic in
the argument that because a few sue
