Which Shall Be AboIishedP

Which Shall Be AbOlishedP
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to abolish the election OF
local assessors and have them ap-
pointed by the County Boards of Tax
alton after a civil service examination.
Another bill introduced provides for
tiae adjustment of the County Boards
of Taxation.
The County Boards were created
about ten years ago to take the Place OF
local Commissioners of Appeals. The
object was to see that taxes were
equalized in differ ent part OF the county
because some local assessors catered TO
their constituents who reelected them
and failed to comprehend the duties Of
AN assessor is to give II true value
equal to adjacent properties. While
there was much opposition to the Coun-
ty Boards, yet they have done much
GOOD in equalizing valuations, mor
especially in North Jersey where many
with pwalatial estates, which brought
in no income, were given d nominal
valuation. Salem county was found to
be assessed up to a good valuation yet
there needed to be considerable equa-
lization. Opposition to the County
Boards has been partly partisan, partly
personal where values have been raised
and somewhat general because the
salaries have been thought 10y many to
be extravaganza for the time and serv-
ices rendered. Some who were oppose
TO the County Board now favor them
after seeing the need of a court of ap-
peals, yet think the salaries should be
reduced to be commensurate with the
services rendered.
The fault of unequal taxation is not
SO much in the forms of government as
in the conception of the officials and
the system, OF lack of system.
Some years ago all the insurance
companies had maps made OF every
property for the use of their agents.
The rate of insurance is male for each
property. The insured pays that rate
or goes without insurance. Every
policy has to be reported thru an agent
at the county seat. ..~-..,
In many cities maps have been
made and a card rate made OF each
property. A law provides for a map
for each municipality. Some have
had such made. Others think such
not needed,
The County Board could be of much
use by going over ii municipality with
the local assessor and equllizing the
taxation. but it seems to he the dispo-
sition of the local assessor TO mostly
copy the old duplicates and to throw
the changes onto the County Boards,
and the disposition of The County
Boards to leave the assessments TO the
local assessor and hear only appeals,
where excess Of valuation is complained
of.
1t is our opinion that the local as
SCISSORS should be retained, but disqual-
fed to succeed themself i'll ofice. Then
there would be nc motive to favor any
one for reelection. All candidates
Should be required to pass a civil SER
vice examination. Retain the County
Boards at half their present salaries
and requires more Of a system i IN taxa
ton whereby comparisons a be
readily made with adjacent properties.

The first bill the Legislature passed
was that providing that copies OF bills
and other legislative documents may be
obtained by fling an application with
the Secretary of State and paying a fee
Of $40. While the reason may be for
economy yet it win prohibit the people
from learning much about proposed leg
islation, because only corporations will
pay $40 for bills.

FANS WAIT IN LINE
FOR CHANCE To BUY
BASEBALL TICKETS
BY United Press Leased Wire.

Philadelphia, Oct. When dawn
broke over the Quaker city today it
found line of weary baseball fans
grimly determined to camp outside
the Phillies' park until they could get
a bleacher pasteboard for the worlds
series.
Fred Wagner, % years old, was the
first in line. Behind him was a be-
draggled set of men with soap boxes
who during the night had snatched
bit of slumber on their precarious
perches, but always with one eye open
lest somebody pry them loose from
their position of vantage. All were
dyed-in-thewool fans who confessed
they would be willing to wait week
if necessary to get ticket.
Pm the first one here, and I'm
going to stick until l get that ticket"
commented Wagner, I've rooted for
the Phillies since l was a kid and
would not take S10O for my posi-
ton
Included in the motley throng Of
weary fans was man with one arm,
another with only one leg.
The tickets are scarce and talk Of
a ticket scandal is heard on every
hand. President Baker promised to
tell the public tomorrow where the
tickets have gone.
"Speculators undoubtedly will get
some," he said. "They always have
and always will, but we are trying to
keep them down to the minimum"

gigantic offensive by the Russians,

according to Information received by
the authorities, but Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg blocked the plan.
Russian prisoners disclosed the
Slav strategy, which provided that

Won Hindenburg in the battle of the
Mazurian lakes.
General Ruszky actually launched
his attack accordingly. But he found
Won Hindenburg menacing his TANKS,
and his every move countered. Won
Hindenburg threatened, indeed, to
envelop the Slavs, whereupon they

be captured by the Germans.
