Adjustment of Offsets.

State Tax Commissioner ]. +.
Cushman in his biennial report dis
cusses the deductions OF personal
property from a persons grand list
on account of debts owing in way
that should receive attention by the
law makers. The extent of the de-
auctions made is shown by the fol-
lowing figures:
For the even years 1900 to 1910
also years 1912 and 1912 aggregate
valuations of personal property set
in the list and aggregate deductions
on account of debts owing were as
follows: 1900, personal property ac-
tually taxed, s40.SS1,67 deduc-
tions, s27.1772S9: 1902, property
taxed. S41 ,936.454; deductions, $27,-
255,2S1; 1904. property taxed, SAL,
| 525.S45; deductions, S29,119.9 31;
1906, property taxed. S42,953, S12;
deductions, $50. 924,653; 1908, prop
erty taxed. $43, 1863, 964; deductions.
$SL772,544; 1910, property taxed.

| auctions, S5Z,Hb0.59g.
| Mr.. Cushman calls attention to the
| fact that when the law was passed
there were very few banks in the
state and most of the money was
| loaned by one individual to another.
| The purpose of the law was to pre-
vent the double taxation of this class
of property and il was fair to suppose
that il A. reported he was owing b.
| $500 the listers would assess b. for
the money and so get it in the list
for taxation. Now Their are 101 ma
| tional and state banks not subject
! to local taxation which loan most
of the money in the state. SO If A.
| reports that he owes a bank $500 il
simply enables him to exempt $500
worth Of personal property from all
taxation whatever. This property is
protected by the state the same as
property that does pay taxes and the
state is the loser. So we are allow
ing the man who holds personal prop
erty TO escape taxation and throwing
the burden of taxation on the real es-
tate. This can not be called good
policy. We believe the burdens of
taxation will be more evenly distri.
buted if every man is required to pay
taxes on all tangible property in his
possession regardless OF what debts
he may be owing. The people who
are now escaping their just share
OF taxation OF course will oppose
such a change but it is Justice and
justice is the only permanent solu.

The non-success of the deer hunt
ers this year is not proof that there
are less deer, but simply that the hunt
Ting conditions were less favorable
than last year If the season were made
one month, there would probably be
no more deer killed, for about the
same amount of hunting would be dis
trbuted over a larger space of time
! here would certainly be fewer fatal
ties, for there would be less hunters
in the woods, and those out would not
feel so much hurried and, therefore
so anxious to shoot at every moving
object.

ing mouth each ounce of added weight
it is annoying to have some unfeeling
wretch sneak along in the middle OF
the night. or some other time. and alb
scond with the insect. 1t will perhaps
be remembered that a revenue collector
at the port of New York a few years
ago classed turtles as insects.
This is what has made Joseph Peyton
peevish. Mr.. Peyton had-note that
little word "had"-a fine four-pound
turtle at anchor in his back yard, at
920 NJ street southeast: The snapper
was intended to furnish the material
for stew just as soon as it had been
fed up to the proper degree of plump
ness.
No pampered, petted dog, or horse. or
even child. ever received more careful
attention, or was fed at more regular
intervals than this snapper, which re-
ting on flesh at thoroughly salts
factory rate. increasing in pulchritude
and lusciousness of appearance day by
day, almost hour by hour.
There isn't going to be any turtle
stew at the Peyton home. Some un-
feeling villain. with a hankering for
turtle stew himself. sneaked the insect,
or reptile, or whatever it is, out of the
back yard.
So the Washington police department
has been asked to look for one four
pound swapping turtle. described as
about the finest that ever came to town.
and listed among the lost. strayed or
stolen.

Beef Cattle.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
The explanation which the western
meat handlers give IN accounting for the
tremendous advance within the last dec
ade of the price of fresh meats is that
nearly all of the prairie regions of the
west that were once used for grazing
lands, and upon which immense herds of
sheep and cattle were raised, are now
cut up into small farms. and stock-rais-
ing is but minor industry on such farms.
Thirty or forty years ago cattle and
sheep herding in the west caused the east
ern farmers almost entirely to quit rails
