COMMENT


The investigation into tax affairs which State
Auditor Moore has been carrying on In every
county seat has been received. In this county
at least. in variety of moods a good many
of the taxpayers have been highly insuted that,
after they had handed in sworn statement
OF their property, they should be hauled before
a grand jury Of their fellow-ctizens and severe
ly and coldly questioned as to the truth OF TINS
sworn statement. Some have declared the ac-
ton Of the jury, in listing some things for tax
alton, unjust Some have taken it good natured-
", saying that taxes must be paid and IT makes
but little difference what they are paid on but
all have united on the fact, as advocated by The
Democrat in the past. that the State needs new
tax laws, including to establish a board or
equalization to adjust these matters and make
taxes equitable There has been spirit of tax
lodging throughout the world since Noah's time
but Ii the psychology of this spirit was analyzed
we believe nine tenths Of it would be found to
be O desire for fair play. Few citizens realizing
they do the necessity of IT, object to paying
taxes, but they do object to paying more than
their share. This is human nature and to be
expected. The right thing to do in case OF
this kind is not to harass people continually
with sheriff's summons, grand juries and the
like, but to fix the law 1t will be easy for
any taxpayer to have his or her taxes adjusted
and easy to catch tax-dodger If one exists in
the community Our present tax laws are relics
of the old feudal days OF Merrie England when
a landlord set the taxes and il you didn't like
1t or couldn't pay 1t YOU could starve to death
and end the matter Under our law ii poor
man Is unjustly taxed ten dollars it will cost
him twenty-five to get 1t back. If he hasn't
tne twenty -HVe ne can eitneI pay the ten dol-
lars for Ave years lose his little property
whichever suits him best. We all know this lis
not right and why is II that the eminent citizens
sent to Richmond every two years to attend
to such things have not made a change Is beyond
explanation. II they feel incompetent to cope
with the question let them look the tax
laws of some of the newer States and lift out
bodily what appeals to them good. In one
Western State the railways, State corporations
and mines pay every cent of State taxes so every
city, town and county is left to fix its own
taxes In another Western State the revenue
from these same sources became large that
twice within the past five years no assessment
has been made for State taxes. the money in the
treasury being sufficient for all expenses for a
year Surely some OF our eminent lawmakers
might sacrifice a little of even their dignity and
copy a law that would bring such results.
Don't let us quarrel with Mr.. Moore and his
Juries, for they are only doing their duty under
the law, but let lis all make 1t business to
see that at least our representative understands
that we want these tax laws revised and we
want board of Observation-Disclosures Demo-

Enemies of Child Labor Meet
in Florida
in Florida

Jacksonville, Fla, March-"There
is no closed season for children These
states, through their acts OF omission,
permit INSCRIPTIONS industrial lords
to take the little children during all
seasons, and stunt their growth by
exhausting toll and unnatural burdens
on the weak shoulders AS we cast
these little crumbs of humanity on our
turbulent industrial waters, unlettered
not strong, and with their ideals shat
tered, so are they returned to us by
way of the almshouse, the hospital,
the prison and the street."
So declared Edward F. Brown. at
the conference of the Child Labor
Committee, in this city. Mr.. Brown
has been making tour of the Gulf
states with the idea in mind of find
ing out the age of children employed,
the nature of their employment and
the conditions that surround them.
DR.. A. 7. McKelway, Southern sec
rotary of the committee, declared that
child labor in the cotton mills means
a sort of modern feudalism. He said
that child labor should be forbidden
and the child compelled to go to
school: Greed, he held, was respon-
sible for the prevalent condition.
Lewis w. Hine told of "The Child's,
Burden in Oyster and Shrimp Can
neries." "The employers" he said,
justify the child's work because the
goods are perishable and must be put
up Immediately. You ask if the chill
dren are not perishable aud they can
not understand.
Among the other speakers were:
Miss Florence Kelley, secretary of the.
National Consumers League; Frank
OHara, professor of Economics in the
Catholic University, Washington, D.
c.; John A. Kingsbury, of the New
York Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor; Bruce Payne,
president of the George Peabody Col
lege for Teachers, Nashville, Tenn,
and Miss Julia C. Lathrop, chief of the
Federal Children's Bureau. Children
of Jacksonville, by recitations, added
to the program.

Anti Saloon Fight in
Pennsylvania
by H. M. Chalfant.]

Harrisburg, Pa, March ID. = AS
noted in The New Republic last week,
the Prohibition referendum bill was
defeated Ill the house.
The vote on this bill shows
that the fight against the saloon is
non-partisan battle Of the men who
voted for this referendum ffty-two
were Republicans, twenty-five Demo-
Gratis and sixteen Progressives.
Five of those who voted affirmative
ly were endorsed by the Prohibition
party, although none OF them claim
membership in that party. 1t is a
curious fact that not one of the three
men who spoke in favor of the amend
ment was either nominated or endors-
ed by the Prohibition party.
The Prohibition party organization
and the liquor dealers organization
both desperately fought the county
unit measure.
The sentiment against the saloon in
Pennsylvania knows no party lines and
the charge which has been so repeat
edly made in this state that represen-
tatives of the old parties are all liquor
men is utterly without foundation.
Two weeks ago eighty three men
voted for the local option bill. Sew
enty-eight of these eighty-three men
voted for the Prohibitory amendment
