TREASURY SURPLUS
 IS NOW S32,0OO, 900
FINANCIAL CONDITION EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS OF SECRETARY
 OF THE TREASURY.

Washington, June 29.-The federal government closed the fiscal year to- day with surplus of $32, 100000, ac- cording to estimates based upon in- complete returns from the various sources of revenue the country over This amount far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of Secretary MacVeagh, who, months ago estimat- ed that the surplus would be $10,- 250.000.
 The surplus at the close of the fiscal year 1911 was $45,6S2O00.
 The failure of congress to pass the general deficiency and other approp- riation bills, which would have called for large disbursements during the closing days of the fiscal year, helped the government to pile up surplus. Another big element in the figures was the corporation tax, which is cal culated, brought in $27 900 900 against $33, ,000,00 last year.
 Customs receipts yielded about $310,000,000 this fiscal year, against $314,000,000 last year, while internal revenue taxes amounted to $292, ,000,- 900 against $2S9, 100000.
 The taxation on beer indicated the American people consumed 63,000,000 barrels during the year. The govern ment realized $149,000,000 on distilled spirits, $63 100000 on beer and $70,- 900 ,000 on tobacco.

of our enterprise without a doubt
 The Maxey Steel tie Is a product of former Hot Springs attorney, who secured the patent, and took .he matter of manufacture up with the Pittsburg steel company, after secur- ing a contract with the Pennsylvania railroad to use the ties on one mile of its track as test as to it's practica- bility
 The test was made and appears to have proved that the tie was a sue cess, after which the manufacturers and money interests of the manu- facturing city became interested in making the ties on a royalty basis. Under the terms of the contract just closed the local company does not need to have large sum of capital to secure it's returns, and thus takes the less profitable but most certain method of success.

II would seem that the cit.

..st nor diIigent thought to tie i'm
portant necessity of providing thu
health department with funds es-
sential to the maintenance of good
health in Shreveport.
For the health department The
appropriation by the city is 81 800
The health officer, Bf..,Chandle,'
with DIR. Frater and number d
citizens, have petitioned the Coun-
ell for an appropriation OF $500
which. it is asserted, is required by
this department.
In letter TO DR.. Chandler of re-
cent date, DIR. Oscar Bowling in re-
ferring to, the request for an appro-
Priation of $500, declares:
TO do good work you should
have several Inspectors. 1 do not
see how you can render fair service
with less than five inspectors be-
sides themeat, plumbing, etc.
The City Council pleads want OF
sufficient revenue, but it is noted

various purposes, one being $3.50
for wateruorks expert. For all the
good accomplished it wouio be as
we'll to have it dumped into rat
hole,
How many dollars did the city
spend during the diphtheria cpl
defnic for quaraWine and other
purposes?
AT that time, as now, tl8n health
department was limited in meaI@
A city o. an individual may be-
penny wise and pound foolish
1t should be borne in mind that
the health of community is para
mount to dollars and cents, and U
is equally patent that the healh au-
thoriins can rot render eMcient ser
vice in safeguarding health on an
appropriation of 1900 per annum.
Such ;sB appropriation is reflective,
unnntcntiOnal it is assumed. OF DIS
credit Of the health authorities.
/ As an aimee of prevention Is
worth more than pound OF cure,
the city fathers shoaid be impressed
wsth the experience Of the past. ii
is much wiser to provide Die neceS-
Sary means for the presrN walton OF
good health through the health
lDard than to cripple this depSet-
ment and then when crisis ha>
beea reached to do, as in yle past,
Spend thousands OF dollars in quar-
antine or other @leafR of checking
some diseases, which may De cir
cumscribeA through cleanliness and
in the enforcement a the law end
fahc rules applying to cleanliness.
This can mo- be done on 1900.
! Therefore d is the imperG i've
duty of fhe Council, as the repre-
sentatives of the people and 40 good
atizens, to provide DC means
necessary to enable the health au-
thorities in che Heceesary efficiency
of the pubic functions.
It is the Caecasian's opinion that
as the city fathers are very much
concerned in the maintenance d
good health, that they will, ~ reg
vising their budget, take little
from each item 0hich they can ag-
gregate to meet the needs Of the
health experiment.

The Equalization of tsse>smeNE>


There can he no fairer PROPOSE
ton for earnest consideration than
The equalization Of assessments. aud
therefore the hearty ro-operatlOH
of all citizens should be enlisted 10
the movement recente& inanguratpd
in Shreveport to secure this much
desired end
II is not political lssue nor Is 1t
reflective of any individual past or
present in office, but since it is mol
possible to deny Shat there are man
fest inequalities in the assessments,
il. is only fair that all such Unequal
tiles should be adjusted 60 a basis
that should be fair in every respect.
In the consideration of this ques-
lion it were senseleSs to indulge III
personalities, nor is it becoming any
one to attempt o. reflect dlscredl'
on the ciizeas who are concerned
in the fair equalization OF assess-
3asents-
It may be asserted that the citl-
zens who are associated i'll this
movement are neither politicians
nor office holders, nor seekers OF
public office, but as progresslVes
they have determined or securing a
fair and an honest equalization OF
assessments. regardless Of staainet'
criticism by some OF, the sweuld-be
directors to fair and an equatabte
sn,aalixatien of the assessments.
Nor can it be denied successfully
that. the present system is anti
duated and should be revised as has
heen done i'm the city Of Baton
Rouge, where assessments are
ed,alized on the front-foot or block
system.
II does seem singular that any OBJ
lection should be urged against the
parpose of equalizing the assess
n,ents- Surely such objections could
not come, seriously from any citl-
zen who is in favor of equity in as
easements =
For illustration: If Mr.. Jones as
sessment is 81 600 and Mr.. Browns
is $3.50, and the property OF each t:l
has a market ca1ue of $4,000, why
should there not be an equalization
Of their assessments? g. s..s, E. .
II Jones assessment is too low, 1t
should be increased. II Browns as
sessment is too high it should be
reduced r.
It is not fair that Jones should BIZ
assessed at less than Brown, where
the market value is the same.
This Illustration in brief is the
sist of the intent and the purpose
of the citizens who are agitatlng the
issue of equalization of assessments,
which can not be suppressed nor
sidetraeked but is one of the llVe-
Hest issues in which the community
has been engaged for years. There
in no power nor political influence
that can check this purpose It Will
succeed in Shreveport as il has III
Baton Rouge. The agitation OF. To-
day is only preliminary to the de-
mands of equity, when there Will
be substituted for an antlquated
system the modern requirements
from which there will be secured a
fair equalization of assessments. II
an equalization of assessments
should create greater revenue
than may be needed for the purpose
Of local, paroehial and State gov
eminent. the rate of taxation would
have logically TO be decreased.
1t matters little how the eGuali-
zation of assessments is viewed, 1t IS
q certainty that it will operate IN
The betterment of present eondl-
lions.
