There has been more or less private
talk among members of the general as
sembly as to the effect of publicity in
securing a fair equalization of the
burdens of taxation in accordance with
ability to pay. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the books Of every county auditor
in the state show fearful inequalities IN
the matter Of bearing tax burdens. In
some cases poor men struggle along
under burdens that mean much to
them, while in other cases men worth
ten times as much as those referred to
pay less taxes. This situation comes
about largely through the states mis-
crablc system of assessing valuations.
Each taxpayer is supposed to fix his own
assessments: but the law as to the
matter is so mixed rs to mean nothing
in that it tells the taxpayer to return
his property according to actual value,
and then goes on to give him TO under
stand that lie is expected to pay, only
in proportion to what other people in
ike circumstances Wllti llIIIl pay 'r'ii'S
taxpayers give in their assessments as
nearly Gs possible on a basis Of actual
values and others, taking the other
suggestion make returns as small as
they can get by with. The inequality
of assessed valuations is due partly to
ignorance and partly to design. Some
of the legislators have an idea that II
they should pass a law requiring all
assessments be published in ncwspa-
per, the result would be to secure more
equitable returns; but they have not
been willing to go that Ear yet, because
among other things, they fear disturb
ance almost in the nature of inSurrec-
ton. Along about 1889 the general as
Scmbly passed an act providing for the
publication Of the poll list of each
county in county paper. The act
provided for publication once week
for three weeks, where one week would
do, and made it quite expensive; but in
York county alone something like 700
names were added to the poll tax list.

The Ku-KluS.

While The IOrkvillc Enquirer is OF
the deliberate opinion that the princi-
pie reason for the organization of tho
Ku-KluX is the fees derived from ini-
tiatiuns and the percentage that goes
into headquarters from monthly dues
it would not be so foolish as to hold
that the Ku-KluX organization could
ever force itself into widespread public
notice ON this basis alone.
There is in the avowcd purposes OF
the Ku-KluX organization much that
appeals to many good, we'll meaning
people as reasonable, right and neces-
s&ry.
The common impression, thc bed
rock impression of all right-thirking
people is th"t our courts Of law are f"r
The purp"ac Of protecting the weak in
their God-givcn rights by holding in
check the ruthless disrcgarding strong
Given the facts in any particular
case any thinking man has a
petty good idea If what is just and
what is unjust, and everybody knows
that justice as it is administered
through our courts, is often u rcproach
to all that is fair.
For one thing any kind Of a promise
to reform such evils as this is a strong
appeal to many right-mindcd but shall
low thinking people to join the Ku-
K!uX. 1t docs not necessarily mean
that all men 50 moved entertain hostiI-
ity OF contempt for the law; but rath-
cr that many Of thcm are led away by
the NOR" or less haZy belief that by
this means they can reform the admin
istr&tion of the law.
But the idea Of reforming the law by
violence can find but LITTLE support in
ordinary reason, for it ought to he clear
that one kind Of ruthlcsSncss is not to
be reformed by another kind of ruth
lcssucsa; that the lawyer who dclibcr-
atcly proves his case, for instance, by
false testimony, is no less safe than
the honest man who might b. induced
10 ttllllll!I NIOlNllCt ~ Il!t oSilIS hiii'
of testimony.
Generally such outragcs as are per-
pe,ratcd in the name of the law are at
least perpetratcd publicly and openly,
and to that extent at least they are less
dangerous than outragcs that might be
perpctratcd secretly.
All the experience Of the past testi-
fcs that no good has ever been accom-
pliShcd through secret violence.
If there is any good to be brought
about through the ku-KluN movement,
it will only come by forcing the pub
lie to sCmc sober thinking: but so sure
as the -KluX resort 10 and bring
about a condition of public violence,
the people who are responsible for this
kind of thing will pay The penalty.
There is nothing more powerful than
the law. II may have its seasons OF
Iaxity and corruption; but always,
il again manages to purify it
self and rc-asscrt its supremacy.

Auditor Love is making fine head
way in the work Of getting his books
ready for the treasurer.
Why cannot something be done about
the York township part Of that link in
the Yorkvillc- -Gastonia road from the
Kings Mountain road to F'ilbcrt? The
condition of this link is simply a
shame.
Parts of the Glover -GastOnia road,
between Clover and Bowling Green arc
pretty bumpy just now, but Superin-
tcndent J. f. Whitesidcs, in charge,
knows how to smooth it out, and he is
doing it as rapidly as possible.
Along with the rcgulcr taxes this
year the treasurer will collect from dog
owners an extra tax Of $1.25 for each
dog owned by them; and issue to the
dog owners Il tax paid tag, which tag
the dog will have 20 wear =: evidence
Of the payment. Afterthc time for the
payment Of taxes expires, dogs with
out collars will bc subjected to seizure
and their owners will be subject to
penalties.

The state of Massachusetts has 4
minimum wage commission, which has
a unique but none the less effective
means of enforcing its dccrccs. The
minimum wage commission having
been created, it was provided that ii
should publish the names Of the en-
ploycrs who refused to comply with its
dccrccS. At first employers attacked
the constitutionality Of the law Great
ing the commission. The supreme
court upheld the commission without
saying anything about the publicity
provision of the law. Recently the COM
mission got an opinion from the attor-
ncy general TO the effect th"t the pub
licity feature was also constitutional
and no# the names of all employers
who refuse to pay the minimum wage
are being published. Employers are
finding publication more annoying than
fines would be.

New York Herald Burean,
Washington. ID. O., Juno 9.
SINKING of the wooden ships
now held by the Shipping
Board was recommended in the
House to-day by Chairman Good
of the Appropriations Commit
tee. The board has 275 of these
vessels, on which it has been un-
able to obtain a bid and which
cost $4,000 a year to guard,
he said.
"I would sink those ships to-
morrow rather than continue the
wasteful practice Of paying
$4,000 year simply to guard
them when you cannot get q man
to bid on them," said Mr.. Good.
"It is doubtful if you will ever
get man to bid on them.
"If we are building break
waters anywhere in the United
States it seems to me that it
would be good thing to take
those ships and fill them with
stones and use them in the con-
struction of those breakwaters."
