TAX EQUALIZATION

Columbia. April 1.-What is like
ly the plan for the equalization Of as
sessments against real estate in
South Carolina was inaugurated BY
Columbia City Council and the South
Carolina Tax Commission at a meeting
held here Wednesday morning for the
purpo~e Of putting into operation
new system of getting Columbia real
estate on the tax books.
The tax commission has just COM
pleted the preparation Of a map of
the City of 'olumbia, covering an en-
tire volume I'd showing every piece
Of property for taxation, as assessed
by the city board of assessors will be
recorded.
City. Councilman, named w. A
Coleman as q special committee to op-
crate with the tax commission in put
ting the new system into effect.
These officials VIII meet with Rich
land County authorities, to get their
approval of the plan.
Under the new system the value as
fixed by the city board of assessors
will be taken as standard. This
board has fixed a value for the prop
erty in every block in the city, and on
the basis of these figures all property
will he assessed for taxation.
The tax commission has found some
wide discrepancies in the m;' stcr of tax
returns. One lot on Main street was
found to be returned at fifty per cent
less value than an adjoining lot Of
similar frontage.
Under the new plan these two lots
will be assessed on the same basis
state the commissioners. The result
of the plan, they state, will be to
eventually reduce tax levies or to in
crease the returns from taxation
without increased levy.
After the system has been put IN
operation successfully in Columbia
it will probably be inaugurated IN 9TH
er cities of the state. Spartanburg
tried it several years ago, but the war
nipped it in the bud. Tax authorities
state that such a system will result IN
an equalization Of taxation and con-
seouent lessening Of the tax burden
on many people who are now paying
more taxes in proportion to what some
other citizens are paying.

NEW AGREEMENT
FOR COAL MINERS
Increase In Wages Became Eff
fective This Morning and
Will Continue In Force
For, Period of Two
Years

New York March 31.-The nego-
tiations for Il new agreement for the
bituminous coal miners were brought
to a close this afternoon when the
general scale committee of operators
and miners of the central competitive
field ratified contract embodying the
ward Of President Wilson'S coal
commission.
This new agreement which involves
4 wage increase Of 27 per cent, be-
comes effective tomorrow morning,
md will continue in force for a pc
riod of two years.
One of the features Of the new con-
tract is clause which provides that
all international differences" in the
various districts of the bituninous
coal fields will be settled by the dis
trict officers of the mine workers and
operators. There must be nothing
done, however, in adjusting these
matters that will increase the cost of
production or decrease the earning
capacity Of the mine workers. The
new agreement also condemns the
bonus system now used by operators
in competing with each other for en-
ployes The contract provides that all
agreements in the various districts
should contain a-.penalty" clause for
any stoppage of work. or unauthoriz
ed. strikes. The International officers
of the United Mine Workers also agree
to make the agreement binding in
every detail.
The eight hour day as now in ef-
feet in the soft coal regions is, con-
tinued by the new agreement.

sfs sfhey are justified in making


any demand they feel like making.
As has been pointed out many
times, labor invariably receives the
larger part Of the gross income of in
dustry. The division generally gives
labor S5 to 90 per cent, to capitals 10
or Is per cert.
A more general appreciation Of this
fact would help much in promoting u
better understanding between en-
ployers and employees. Fully grasp
ed. it would enable the workmen to
see that their chief hope of higher
wages lies in their producing more in
a given time so that there will be
more profits available to provide
their wages.
There is a tendency at present not
only to ignore the question of the re-
lation Of the workman's share to tho
employers share, but simply to pass
the wage increase on to the consum-
err as if that settled the problem.
The workman should realize that
this method is bound to fail, because
it fails TO provide incentive for IN
creased production, because the added
is multiplied in being pass
ed or to the consumer, and because
the workman himself is the chief con-
SINNER

Winter. almost always leaves a
dingy train Of rubbish and dirt that
was unnoticed. and not particularly
harmful, so long as frost and snow
covered or held It in check. The sun
af spring reveals it in all its insight
illness; decomposition sets in with the
heat; the winds blow the dirt about,
germ laden and full of menace. For
the sake Of appearance and santa
ton, the cleanup becomes essential
The farm should not be neglected
IN IN the cleanup campaign. Here too,
there should be gathering oe rubbish,

painting and general renovatins.
The sources Of water supply need
especial attention Are reservoirs,
wells and cisterns clean, and is the
ssupply of water adequate and easily
byocurable for the always possible
fire.
The spring cleaning time is time
for individual and cooperative ac-
ton. The private citizen and the au-
thorities are equally interested and
equally responsible. and should work
III harmony. LeE every one take hold
set his own place in order and doNhis
share in those sections which must

cleanliness, order and beauty OF theil
community the citizens may take

TURkO-BRITISH .TRE.iTY.''

Until complete proof is offered, ii
is, we'll to discredit the secret TurHo-
British treaty recently given out at
Berlin This alleged treaty. as pub
lished. is u most amazing document.
It purperts to have been signed by
the British and Turkish governments
in April, 1913 1t provides that Eng
land shall guarantee Turkish indie
pendence, that Constantinople shall
remain the seat Of Turkish govern
mert. that England shall have con-
troll Of the DarGaneiles. with posses
sion Of Mesopotania and Syria. and
that England shall! place at Turkey s
disposal a police force to be used lin
order to suppress any nationalistic
tendencies" Not the least interest
ing detail, is the article declaring that
..this treaty is official, but has q pri-
vate CHARACTER
1t is incredible that Great Britain.
at the very time when she was agree
ing to the Versailles treaty, should
haze made with ali enemy country a
secret treaty bely1ng her own pledges.
defying the principles of the Yer
sailles document and in fragrant con-
iiict with the purposes Of the League
Of Nations to which she subscribed.
1t is also incredible that Britain
should have conspired with Turkey to
rob an ally of Syria. which by gem
eral agreement has; been assigned TO
France. 1t is little less; comprehen-
sible that Britain should undertake
TO grab the Dardanelles, and thus,
without the consent of her allies or
of the League Of. Nations. prepare to
dominate Constantinople and the
Black Sea.
That this document should have
been made public in Berlin is in it
self ground,for suspicion. The Ger
mans have their own reasons for
wanting to make all the trouble they
can among the Allies. and for some
time Turkish emissaries have been
busy in Berlin.
General Leonard Wood. in a re-
cent speech. took occasion to warn
the American public that there is a
conspiracy afoot. employing wide
spread and intricate system of pro
paganda to break down the friend
ship Of the United States with the, Al
lies. The effort seems especially in
tended to drive a wedge between this
country ard England. Perhaps this
secret treaty" is part Of the plot.
If so, the British government should
repudiate It officially, without delay.
