The Peril OF llactiOn.

In discussing the delay in shipbuild-
ing, now happily ended, the Outlook
quotes this military maxim Gen,
Leonard Wood included in the Intro
duction to Field Service Regulations oil
the United States Army" when he was
chief Of staff in 1914: Every indivldu'
al, from the highest commander 10 the
lowest private, must always remember
that inaction and neglect oil opportuni'
ties will warrant more severe censuse
than an error in the choice OF the
means" 1t is a maxim that every
soldier and sailor and, for that matter,
everybody else, in public or private
life should get by heart. Davy Crock
cit wrote his daughter, when she was
hesilatiug about accepting a proposal
Of marriage: BE sure you are right
and then go ahead" Blu, had he
been advising soldiers he would have
emphasized the going ahead and laid
lie S stress upon the first part Of his ad
vice. Forests summary Of strategy
as getting there first with the mosr
men would have appealed to Crockett,
as it does 10 every soldier worthy oI
his calling.
Rash martial undertakings have often
failed and ioolhardiness is indelensible
But the presumption ia that troops will
seldom il ever be placed under control
Of madmen or hopeless incompeten,s
The greater danger, particularly at the
beginning Of a war, before commander
have been tried out is from too much
caution. IndeciSion and procrastina'
,ion are the chief military defects. We
owe the success Of the revolution to
these defects in British generals.
Time after time Washington's little
army would have been xiped out had
the British commanders not been too
cautious. McClelland's military rec.
ord will never be relieved Of the stain
left by iudecision, no matter how many
defenses military critics may write.
The heroes Of the Union and Conled.
crate armies were the men who went
ahead. the men quick to decide and
vigorous in acting on their decisions.
Conducting a war or commanding an
army does not call for the judicial
temperament" as the term is genrally
used. Training, experience and quick
judgment are prerequisites OF men
placed high in authority in such cris.
is as this, but to be successful they
must have enough confidence in their
judgment to act promptly. Globe

Japan S Part In the War

There has always been more or less
mystery about the limited participation
Of Japan in the great war. Among the
speculations has been The theory thai
the entente did not wish 10 give Japan
to- much say at the peace confer nee.
Japan soon did the work assigned it in
Asia and went little farther, on its
own account, in dealing with Chi"a

late the Hay open'door agreement, to
which Japan and most Of the lead ng
nations, including the United States,
are parties. since the war began ia
pan concluded some sort Of a treaty
with the old Russian regime. There
has been doubt as 10 whether all the
provisions Of this agreement have been
made public. Just what is the full
scope Of Japan's Monroe Doctrine r
Asia" is likewise uncertain. Despite
the cordial expressions Of eff ills, there
has been much popular suspicion Of
Japan's ultimate aims, lact that Heer

celebrated note to the German minister

10 the aid Of Russia with soldiers. II
Russia welcomes such help, it will be
very valuable. The Petrograd con-
tingent has prolessed lack Of interest
in Russian matters in China. Japan
might find it more pleasing than the
former partnership, Still it would be
easy to Ian popular Rlssiau pF"ildic.s

tent 10 which Russia recognizes the
present German peril. Japan is prom
ising part Of It's feet for the Atlantic
trade, although Its ports are now con-
gested with merchandise for export.
This is the first sacrifice Of its COM
mercial interests it has shown willing
ness to make for advance oi the gener'
al cause. Its mission 10 the United
States, it is announced will deal solely
with the war. Should Japan throw all
its strength into the war, it would hast

The Highest Authority.

The latest expression from the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court touching the
Question Of valuation OF taxable pro-
perty for assessment, is found on PIP.
1857 Southwestern Reporter, issued
under date Of Feb 7, 1917. The case
is entitle Mercantile Trust Co. VS.
Schramm, City Assessor ct al. The
following is pertinent extract show
ing the value at which property should
be assessed:
Our Law provides 1 complete plan
and scheme for the assessment and
collection Of taxes aud adequate means
by which the burden primarialy born
by the state AMI lis subdivision is
transferred to the citizen. The prime
and dominant idea of the scheme is
furnished by the Constitution, and is
that all properly OF the same class and
value shall bear the same burden.
While it is a matter OF common exper
ience that absolute equality in the i'm
position Of taxes is not altainable we
nevertheless fnd an aim and intention
on the part Of our law makers to ap
proximate 10 the idea Of equality as
closely as the nature Of the subject
and the necessities Of practical admin
istration will permit. 1t is the uniIor'
nifty in taxation is intended to ac'
complish and whatever intends to foil
this incures the laws wrath. Discrim'
inatron by whatever means induced
whether by different rates on the same
values or the same rates on different
values, seems within the Inhibition.
The state being subdivided, practical
administration and the necessities Of
the case require that different rates be
charged in different subdivisions in or
der to meet different local needs and
conditions and constitutional and stat
utory PROFESSIONS for such different To-
cal rates are made The principle oil
uniformity, however requires that all
property Of the same class within the
territorial limits Of the authority levy
ing the tax be taxed at the same rate
A state must be apportioned uniformly
throughout the state; county tax
throughout the county and a munich
pal tax throughout the municipality.
While provisions are made for differ
ent rates in different subdivisions and
and for local purposes, no provisions
are to be lould anywhere which
authorize different standards or bases
Of valuation. 1t evidently intended
that the difference in the various To-
cal conditions shall be cared for by a
difference in the rate and not other,
wise.
The Law clearly and expressly re-
quires That for the purpose Of valuation
all property in the state regardless Of
where situate shall be dealt with in
the same manner. For this purpose oil
valuation the law DEGREES uniniormity
aud one STANDARD thoroughot the state
and this without any regard whatever
to local needs or dige,ence in local
conditions, for il ordainS that all pro
perty wherever situate shall be assess
at Its true value. ..
