Waste in the Biggest Industry.

FROM the chicago News
Important financial returns are secured
by the meat-packng industry through
the sale Of the by-products. It has been
frequently asserted by the packers that
they sell dressed meat for less than they
pay for the live weight. A similar state
of things exists in other highly organized
industries such as the United States
Steel Corporation. the Standard Oil CON-
pany and some corporations dealing in
cereal products. Much of the profit comes
from intelligent Use of materials secured
incidentally in preparing the chief ar
ticles manufactured. In the greatest in
dustry of them all. agriculture, the by
products are subjected to woeful waste.
Attention is called by Prof. H. NJ. Cot
trell, agricultural commissioner of the
Rock Island railroad. to the fact that
farmers in the corn belt waste literally
millions of dollars because they fail prop
erly to utilize cornstalks for fodder. In
stead of harvesting the stalks. they burn
them or secure trifling returns by pastur-
ing their animals in the fields during the
winter with the grain worth on the
farms 1.5OO, 600. 600" writes Prof. Cottrell.
If fully utilized. is $1,000. OOO. COO" The
basis Of this calculation is the fact that
there is 40 per cent Of nLtriment in the
stalks as compared with 60 per cent In
the kernels.
Prof. CottreH prescribes silos. in which
the stalks, leaves and husks could be kept
in a way to make them available for food
for cattle This. he believes. would an

who say that it is Improbable for them
to raise cattle for the market. Moreover
there would be great additional economy
in the fertilization of farm lands through
the feeding Of cattle upon them.
The day is near at hand when wasteful
farming methods in this country must
end. Full value must be secured from

Assessor Richards Recon-.

MEANS OF EQUALIZING TAX
Suggests That Triennial Plan Gives
Reason for Criticism.
REPLIES TO GEORGE REPORT

Placed at $3.50, 1885,, 4s7.

Charging the triennial assessment meth
Cd in vogue in the District of Columbia
with being responsible for the criticism
made that larger and more valuable pieces
Of property are under assessed, while
smaller holdings are taxed to the limit,
District Assessor William p. Richards, in
his annual report to the Commissioners
renews his recommendation Of several
years past that provision be made for
annual instead Of triennial assessments
While no reference is made to the re-
port submitted by the George committee
on assessment and taxation methods in
the District, the report OF the assessor
answers indirectly some Of the allega-
tons made by the House investigating
committee.
There has been in the last few years
much we'll founded complaint which was
more directly chargea.ble to the tr1ennial
method OF assessment than to any
other cause" 1t states.
This was due to the fact that some
values In the business section of the city
and In some portions Of the county had
greatly enhanced. while others, from some
local cause, had deprecated, but the as
sessment could not at once be made to
conform to the changed conditions. In con-
sequence, a comparison of values with as
sessments. especially toward the end of
the triennial period, showed so great a
difference as to leave the impression upon
the minds Of many that the large and
more valuable property was underrated.
while the smaller and less expensive hold

Of the former. when as a matter of fact.

Why Disturb FTP

Then why disturb it? I would not sus-
pect the democratic candidates for the
White House and for the Capitol OF such
falsity to their pledges that they do not
intend to disturb II. Their speech is very
much like that which heralded the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. and they may be
presumed. in justice to themselves. to be
as sincere in their purpose as he was.
Therefore they do intend to disturb the
prosperous business We are now enjoying
at home and with foreign countries-for
our foreign trade is based largely On pro
visions Of the Payne tariff law. which
the democratic party condemns and pro-
poses to repeal.
Except In the south. where the man of
color is not allowed to vote, and In
California and Kansas. where white as
we'll as colored republicans are for the
present disfranchised. the ballot is free
throughout the United states. and that
means that the large majority OF citizens
qualified to vote are free to express their
will at the polls The choice for the
voter Is not obscure; on the contrary 1t is
as plain and clear an issue as ever was
presented In our political history-it Is
between actual an assured prosperity. ac-
tive industries, good wages, a f1ourishing
home market and rapidly growing farm
trade. on the one hand, and depression Of
business. paralysis of industry, loss of
employment for wage earners and general
decentralization of trade at home and
abroad on the other hand. On one side
prosperity and real progress; on the
people have more than once surprised
those who thought the people were being
successfully fooled and / believe that
similar surprise awaits our opponents on

Proposed Change Condemned.

1T IL proposed by some. who favor q
change in assessment matters to enlarge
the board Of assistant assessors, and d.
vide thesDistrict Of Columbia into a num-
Der Of subdistdcts. with one assistant as
SCISSOR for each subdistrict, on the theory
that by limiting his services to his own
particular territory he would become SO
familiar with values therein as to be an
expert. This proposed change. however.
Is merely the return to a former and
long since-abandOned system which, for
years. was tried and found wanting,
leading to gross inequalities which were
so numerous that some even yet remain.
An annual assessment which Is the
product Of the united judgment of an en-
tire board promises better results In
eliminating or greatly reducing the In
equalitieS Of our tax levy. and at the
same time tending to convince the public
that Justice and fair treatemeIt are ac-
corded to ala contamination which
must be considered desirable from every
point Of view
The report urges the necessity for reg
tstering all automobiles and the issue of
new tags annually or the passage of a
law requiring an annual fee to be paid
based on the horsepower of the machine.
this fee to be In lieu of personal tax and
seat or wheel tax.
Tax to Remain the Same.
1.-THE amount Of tax would remain the
same each year as long as the machine
was in use, and this office Is of the
opinion that 1t would result In an in
creased revenue to the District and do
away entirely with the question of depre-
citation of the value of the car for assess
ment purposes and also the added
wheel or seat tax so much opposed by
owners" the report states.
Attention Is directed to the problem of
eQualizing taxes. In this connection, the
report says:
In the assessors report Of 1911 men,
ton was made of some of the difficulties
experienced in eQualizing taxes andsduring
this year there has been considerable dis
cussion concerning the equalization of
taxes and q scientific method of assess
ment There may be differences of opinion
as to what constitutes q real scientific
method of assessment. but there are at
least three legislative changes that are of
paramount Importance In bringing about
an equalization of taxes. These are:
Requested Legislation Outlined.
First. an annual assessment for the en-
tire District OF Columbia; second, a palm
method Of designating all taxable prop
erty through the use Of accurate and
complete maps; third. sufficient cleri-
cal force to gather data and assist the
assessors in their field and office work"
