volving comparison between the assess
ed valuations of property sold and the
considerations received at Such sales.
The figures for both real and personal
property for most cities outside OF
these three states are far from correct,
although those for some cities are more
accurate than for others, and those for
real property are more trustworthy than
those for personal.
"Tax Rates-The rates Of levy given
for the general property tax are those
per 81 200 of assessed valuation and per
$1,000 of reported true value.
The rates based ON the reported true
value are subject to all the errors in
the estimates to which attention was
called in the preceding paragraph"
Mr.. Prouty disregards the real meas
ure of tax burdens, the total and per
capita tax levy, commended as accurate
the tax rate this confessedly grossly mis-
leading factor of calculation. The result
Is worthless as a measure Of comparative
tax burdens.
Mr.. Prouty injects into his table an
additional element of error in adding to
his mills of fictitious tax rate an
allowance for county and state taxes.
It is shown by thorough discussion in
The Star OF December 1s. 1918, and
March H.. 1914, that county taxes
enter equitably into these calcula-
tions of city taxes only to limited ex-
tent. recognized by the census, and state
taxes do not enter properly into the cal
culation at all, any more than national
taxes or the dues and assessments of
some public-spirited village or city i'm
provement association.
AS against Mr.. Prouty's unique and
sef-made figures. rooted In error and ap-
piled by him in his own way to list of
cities selected by him for that purpose,
is the census showing concerning compar-
ative tax burdens in the governments 8
own accredited figures concerning total
and per capita tax ievies.

It's true I haven't broken much soil

Of grain and vegetables will become one

University Professors to Organize.

A committee OF twenty-five university
professors is now at work on the pre-
Nminary organization of the National As
sociation of University Professors This
10 the result of a circular letter sent
out last year by most of the full pro-
fessors Of Johns Hopkins University to
the professors of the country's nine lead
ing universities.
The following November a conference
was held in Baltimore. with eighteen
delegates from Harvard, Yale. Johns
Hopkins. Columbia, Princeton, Wisconsin
Cornell and Clark. A committee was
thereupon appointed. with members from
the institutions enumerated above and
the universities of Chicago, Virginia Tr-
lane. California. Pennsylvania, Stanford
and Missouri. A few important univer-
stiles are not represented on this organi-
zatiOn committee, but this is because the
men invited to join were unable to do so
This organization grows out of a rec
ognition of the fact that the uniyersity
professor Is concerned with interests that
would be best advanced by Cooperation
He is a member of the legislative body
Of his local institution, and he belongs 10
a professional body whose duty IL is 10
guard its quota of the nations ideals
The general purpose of the association
will be to promote a more methodicaI i
discussion OF educational university oues-
tions, and to be organized for collective
action whenever such step seems
necessary.

Fantastic Discrepancies.

Assuming that the reported bases of
assessment are accurate, the assessor
reports in the taxed fraction Of non-in-
dustrial Washington realty values
amounting to $495,4S3.73O. On the
same assumption the Cincinnati as
SCISSOR reports in the whole of that
|populous. wealthy and money-making
city realty values of $375,O65,6SO, one
hundred and twenty millions less than
In the taxed fraction Of Washington.
The Newark assessor reports one hun
dred and ninety-four millions less of
realty values in that city than in
Washington. The New Orleans as
SCISSOR reports two hundred and sew
enty-two millions less of realty values
in that city than in Washington
OF course. the reports of relation of
assessed to true value which develop
these preposterous results are false and
worthless. Instead of Washington
realty being assessed at a two-thirds
rate as compared with a hree-Quarters
valuation in New Orleans and full valu-
alton in Cincinnati and Newark, the
true relation will place Washington at
a comparative 100 per cent and the
other cities at small fractions of full
valuation.
The truth which I am urging Is
taught not merely by few selected
cities, but by the entire list. Compare
the reported 100 per cent valuation of
Washington's realty with those of the
other cities (all except Baltimore ap-
lproximating Washington in size) in the
following table:
