SINCE the primaries we have re-
ceived several letters from defeated
candidates offering weekly articles
to show the voters where they had
been buncoed by the railroads,
breweries, trusts, state and nation.
All this is offered free of charge.
All we have to do is to print it and
see that the writer's name is kept
before the people. We consider
this long distance advertising and
destined to pave the way for the
writer in the future. When a mer-
chant makes a particularly good
buy of something needed by his
patrons and he advertises that on a
certain day two years hence he will
invite the public to take advantage
of the opportunities offered, he
pays for it and runs chances on
getting returns. The long distance
politicians are respectfully invited
to send cash with order and their
stuff will be published.

know of one paper that made it a
point to tell why the election of
Mr.. Rosenwald would not be of

merely but for his entire official
term, to gathering information and
data which will enable him to in
clude all taxable property in his as
sessment and to value it on uni
form basis.
5th. With proper limitations he
should be amenable for the fairness
and thoroughness of his work to
some controlling supervisory power
in the state which could correct any
errors he might make.
After long and careful considera-
ton of the matter the state tax
commission has become convinced
that the most feasible way in which
to secure a fair and equitable as
sessnent of taxable property is to
abolish the Office of local assessor
and to substitute in its place that
of a county assessor. As required
by law the commission formulated
and submitted to the last two legis-
latures bills to that effect. In each
case the bills failed of passage.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-10-04

do this he pays either higher or a
lower tax than he should. The
present system not only fails to
give, but is positive impeachment
to fair and uniform taxation.
How can this unwholesome state
of affairs be remedied? While an
absolutely perfect system cannot be
devised, great improvement can
be made by the enactment of laws
basen upon the. following princi-
pies, viz:
1st. The assessor should not be
subject to the embarrassing in
fluences already mentioned. As
far as possible he should be free
from any relationship, connection
or association with the persons
whose property it is his duty to
assess.
End. The assessor should be a
person who by experience and
familiarity with the various kinds
of taxable property has become, to
some extent, an expert in valua-
tons. The better posted he is
as to the values of property, the
more competent he is to assess it.
3rd. In order to become such an
expert, and he can become so only
by experience, his term of office
should be long enough to enable
him to familiarize himself with the
character and values of assessable
property as it is bought and sold in
the local markets.
4th. His compensation should be
sufficient to enable him to devote
all of his time, not for few weeks

IN MINNESOTA
THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF SERIES OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED
BY REQUEST OF THE MINNESOTA TAX COMMISSION
CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION IS CORDIALLY INVITED
(Thirtysxth Article)
The Remedy for Unfair Assessment

The most important element in
the assessment of property for tax
alton is not that the valuations be
either high or low, but that they be
fair and uniform; that all kinds of
property of like character and of
equal value should be assessed at
the same value regardless of the
social, political, or personal stand
ing and influence of its owners.
1t is self-evident that so long as
the present system of local assessors
is retained there cannot be any such
thing as fair and uniform valua-
ton of property as between the
owners thereof in the same taxing
district. The local conditions and
influences which inevitably SUR
round and embarrass the local as
SCISSOR are such that no matter how
conscientious he may be he cannot
fairly and impartially fix the valua-
tion of the property of his neigh
bors, friends and enemies. Do the
best he can, either favoratism or
prejudice, charity or overmastering
influence warp his judgment and
initiate against the integrity of his
assessment.
1t is most important that this
local or Initial assessment should be
as fair and perfect as it is possible
to make it. 1t is the foundation
upon which all of the taxes levied
upon the valuation of property is
predicated. 1t directly concerns
the individual taxpayer, and is in
tended to place him upon an equality
with his neighbors. 1t it fails to

SATISFIED WITH HIS CONDITION,

is oEEVISH.

East Las Vegas, y. NJ, July l.
Three thousand people saw Jim Flynn
90 through his last hard training
stunt this afternoon and the fighting
fireman laid aside his gloves until he
steps into the big arena Thursday
afternoon 10 battle Jack Johnson for
the heavyweight championship. John
son went through his usual training,
out may box tomorrow. as he is not
quite satisfied with his condition.
It was necessary to lock the doors
and windows Of Flynns gymnasium
his afternoon to Keep the mob out so
that he would have room in which to
train. Flynn's hackers were crowded
into the pavilion like sardines.
: special train took 1900 OF the
people out and others went in au;omO-
biles and carriages. 1t looked like a
county fair at the Flynn camp.
Jim boxed three fast rounds with
Williams and had Al in bad shape in
the finish. He went two with Mar
shall and two with Abdul the Turk.
His condition is perfect. He will do
light road work from now on.
Johnson either does not allow his
sparring partners TO hit him hard or
they are afraid to and it is very no
ticeable that Johnson Gas not had
enough punishment to put him in the
best OF shape, hut this does not mean
that he cannot win. He tried to fin
ish Respess, the light heavyweight
negro and failed, but he gave him a
hard beating for two rounds. DeBray
and Cutler did not take enough or
| give enough TO give Johnson much OF
workout He went through his 9TH
er gymnasium stunts.
Promoter Curley and the newspa per
men went to the arena and arranged
for seats and telegraph wires. The
tent wall is up. The sale OF tickets is
brisk and the promoters are happy.

Flynn appeared to be in best spirits
of the two fighters today. Johnson
seemed bit nervous and peevish, but
it may be because of something that
came up at his camp. Il is not be
lieyed he has cause to worry about
his condition as Tom Flanagan says
he is fit.
