Personal Property
Not Properly Taxed
Editor Morning JournaI.

Editor Morning Journal:
In recommending methods of in
creasing the revenues of the state by
changes in the tax laws, are you not
overlooking one that would he well
worth considering. viz. such a reduc-
ton IN the tax rate on personal prop
crty as would bring it from hiding
and cause it to produce its fair share
or at least much larger share
than It does nOW-of the income of
the state?
Human nature being inherently
selfish--so long as the tax upon per-
sonalties is considered confiscatory
so long will bank deposits, stocks and
bonds, ieWeirv. etc, be concealed
from the assessor and escape the bur
den they should bear; but # the rate
on such property is reduced to a
point whore the owner feels his
property is not being taken away from
him, the tendency IS to bring it forth
from hiding and to put it on the tax
rolls at somewhere near its fair value.
This has been the experience of other
states and to such good purpose that
the taxes on personal property at the
lower rate amounted to several times
what had been collected under the old
plan of taxing all property alike.
Is this not matter that might
profitably be investigated by our
chamber of commerce or City com ;
mssoners?

Especial cable Dispatch to the World
and Albuquerque JournaL)
Cobleuz, Feb 1.-THE elections to
the Prussian assembly held in the area
occupied by the American troops
were quiet and marked by apathy on
the part of the people, There was a
great falling off in the votes as COM
pared to those cast in the elections for
the constitutional assembly.
An interesting eypla nation is that
many Rhinelanders are convinced
that Old Prussia is doomed to disap-
pear and disintegrate into smaller
states, so they felt il was a waste of
time in voting for a Prussian parlia-
ment. In the american area, the Cath
Ollie center party scored an expected
large majority, but the majority So
cialists won in the Rhine province.
The eX-kaisers birthday was
marked by no noticeable celebration,
but keen American observers noted am
apparent increasing underground cur
rent Of sympathy for and loyalty to
the former ruler, which is significant
of The future trend of popular opinion
in favor of limited monarchy.
The outburst Of sympathy for the
eX-kaiser in the editorials in the Ger
man press throughout the American
area incidentally furnished a striking
example of the liberal spirit of the
American military and the American
self-restrain in refusing TO interfere
in the inner political affairs. Both
the leading Coblenz papers, the Peo-
pies Gazette, a Catholic organ, and
the Gazette, an Old national liberal
organ, featured sympathetic articles
about the eX-kaiser in exile, eXonerat-
ting him from all personal RESPONSE
bility for the war. The Volkszeitun9
said:
The imperial conception was the
symbol of German order, unity, power
and prosperity. The kaiser enjoyed
the confidence of his people and was
animated by the best possible inten-
tons, working for the good of his sub
iects ana the empire
The Coblenz Gazette was even more
outspoken, saying:
Some viii think of the kaiser in
exile with loyalty and veneraticn, es-
pecially considering the sad situation
occupied ty Germany On the other
hand, we trust the misfortune which
seems to await him in the future will
not overtake him. May his declining
years be spent in more pleasant sur
roundings than at present. For many
the kaiserS birthday is something
more than historical"

thus they come back 70 us, our sons
and brothers, still two. thre, o. four
million in number. We cannot greet
them with loud hur ais or with flow
ers whose glaring cGlors would only
hurt their eyes and, hearts, Buy we
greet them nevertheless, We greet
them with the waving banners of hon
or with grave home grown evergreen,
and with a quiet, strong handclasp
which. shall bid them welcome, and
say to them how glad we are to have
them home again, and which, above
all expresses our thanks to them.
We greet you, German soldiers,
Germany has lost the war. But you
have won yours. You have rescued
Germany's honor and thus conferred

THE STUPID CHILD.

The so-ealled stupid child is find
cation. The mental suffering of the
stupid has undoubtedly been great in
the past, for little sympathy ever was
expressed for him. But today it is
better understood that the stupid
child may not be stupid at all, but
simply out of his sphere in the regu-
lation courses Of study
A recent writer. who has conducted
many hundred tests with so-called
stupid children, says that juggling
with figures is not necessarily a test
of intelligence. If it were the con-
structive or artistic genius might re-
main undiscovered and the child re
garded rs stupid, when the opposite
might be the fact
Brilliant recitations and discussions
of adult problems taken as tests
might allow the possible dreamer, the
philosopher and the poet to pass as
ounces.
Lack of apprehension is often the
cause of so-called stupidity in chill
dren. 4 little girl sent home with the
report that she was fatally defective
in arithmetic. was questioned sympa
thetieally b. her father who soon dis
covered that she didn't know what it
was all about When he explained it
to her in common terms, she grasped
the idea and soon became as good"
in arithmetic as the ordinary child

school or college careers, and perhaps
in their own homes Either the stud

sion fer many develop slowly, or they
didn't know what It was about. Later
in life when they had CRASHED the
idea they We're found to be bright
enough.
The new plan is o~give the so
Acalled stupid child enough TO test
what is really in him. lie may be
stupid in some things and very far
from stupid in things that really
count for more.

In the old days children We're re-
gardel as an asset on account of what
they could be made to produce Now
adaNS we think of them more often as
a responsibility. But there are still
some parents that would rather work
their children for all they are worth
than to educate them. 1t is partly
on account Of such parents. that we
have child labor laws.
Now colony isn't exactly like q
child, but in the last few years the
mother countries have come TO see
that merciless exploitation isn't exact
ly the thing. And while the peace
conference is settling the fate of the
German colonies ana the Turkish do
mipions. it seems like a GOOD chance
TO crystalline the best ideas 50 far
worked out for the treatment of colo
MES IN a set Of rules or restrictions
to insure fair play to the native peo-
pie and equal opportunities TO all out
side nations.
OF course, this Is going to take
away much of the profit of owning
the colony, and countries that are in
the habit Of using their colonies for
their own exclusive advantage will not
take to the idea very kindly. italy
and France DO not welcome outsiders
in their colonies, and they would like
to set a hold of Trebizond and Ar
menia and exploit them for their pri-
waite advantage. In return they would
allow England TO have Mesopotamia,
ana Japan to have Kiaoehow, e The
United states wants anything they a
