TAX AMENDMENT FAVORED.
Real Estate Interests Think wen

The FIRST important cons'itui onal
amcnimen; affecting zeal estate interests
is now occupying the attention OF the
Constitutional Convention. THIS amend
mert relates 70 ta@a;.on and prov deS
that the principles of taxation shall
never he surrendered, suspended or con-
tract,d away ." ,e?t a7 to securities Of
tn state or n cvi div.s.ol thereof.
Thus no law granting an exemption
from taxation can be made irrepoalable.
II prescribe also that taNt' shall he
imposed by genera! laws and for public
purposes only, comforting upon the Legs
lature the pow-r TO direct how taxes
shall BE assessed Under the present
cons; tuition the local assessor Is a con-
stitutional officer and has the i~nalienable
7 light to assess a., property cor taxation.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-08-22

THIS constitutional right is now de-
.'!oyod, except as to the assessment OF
real property.
Organ 2ed real estate seems TO favor
the amendment, as IL gives what the old
constitution did not give, a universal
system ot taxation thereby creating n
feeling that no section was being IA
Nored.

British Admiralty Silent.

London, Sept. 1, 11:50 a. m.-The e admiralty has given out no informa- tion concerning the fate of the Ger man submarine which sank the Ara bic. Whether such information is in it's possession is unknown. It is the policy of the admiraity to withhold news of this character.
 Unofficial reports that the subma- rine has been sunk are being circu- lated widely It is sa.d the craft att tempted to torpedo the British steam CT Nicosian, which arrived at Liver pool from New Orleans on August 24, five days after the Arabic went down. According to this account, the Nico- sian escaped and the submarine, while attempting to sink her, fell vic tim to a patrol boat.
 In Liverpool the report is current that the submarine has been captured, and not sunk.

Two Things Possible.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-Georg Bernhard has a long editorial in the Vossische Zeitung, which the Overseas News Agency summarizes as follows:
 MT. Bernhard reiterates that the circumstances surrounding the sink@- ing of the. Arabic are still unknown, but that only one of two things is pos sible-either that the captain of the submarine feared that his vessel would be rammed or otherwise at- tackled and, fearing this, he fired D torpedo at the liner, or that the Ara bic was not torpedoed at all, but struck by a mine."
