Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. November 10
The fifteen assessors recently ap-
pointed by the county commissioners
to make a reassessment Of all real
and personal property in the county,
as directed by the state tax commits
sion. met here yesterday afternoon
and received final instructions from
Berry E. Clark. clerk to the county
commissioners. They were supplied
with cards and schedules and care
fully instructed as to methods Of fll-
ing them in and making returns. The
assessors will begin work at once.
work in time for next years annual
tax levy.
The meeting was attended by M. j.
Lindsay. state supervisor OF assess
ments. who represented the state tax
commission. He told the assessors
property to be assessed at its actual
cash value. and. as a guide, the as
SCISSORS were furnished with lists Of
sales Of county property from 1919 to
the present time. showing the consid-
Grafton In each case.
The taxable basis Of the county is
now around $35, 200. 900. AS whole.
the property of the county, it is un-
derstood, is not assessed at moro than
one-half Of its real value, SO If the
instructions Of the state tax commits
sion are followed the new assessment
will result in doubling the taxable
basis. 1t is not thought. however.
sessment is certain. it is believed. to
greatly increase the basis. The
larger the basis. however, the smaller
the county tax rate.

News Before the Event

The appointment of receiver for
the Manhattan Piggly Wiggly Cor
Toration is an important piece of
news. 1t properly received atten-
ton in ali the newspapers of the
metropolitan district. Yet such jour
naiistic enterprise is of little prac-
tlcal value to readers. 1t comes too
late to warn either the unknowing
or the grasping that the promising
predictions of stock statesmen are
unlikely to be translated into real
ity. 1t Is in the nature of an er post
Jocto report.
In the investment column the
financial editor of The Tribune as
long ago as last March in unequivo-
cal language called attention to the
.insuitability for investment pur-
poses of the securities of the Man
haitian Piggly Wiggly Corporation,
which was the latest project of
James w. Elliott's Business Build
ers, Inc, which also has drifted into
the bankruptcy court. The Tribune,
practically single-handed, has con-
sistently for two years criticized all
the offerings of the Business Build
ers, and is glad to say that it never
opened it's advertising columns to
Mr.. Elliott either for the sale of
securities or for the employment of
sales representatives.
A line Of comment months before
involuntary petitions in bankruptcy
are filed is worth columns Of ma
terial after it is too late. "a

Play Space or Jail Space

William L. Ettinger, Superintend-
ent Of Education, told the Rotary
Club q wholesome truth when he said
it will be impossible to force city
authorities to build sufficient school
buildings and surround them with
sufficient play space until the voters
realize that the schools are the most
important Of ali city departments.
Furnish more play space and you
will save MORE Jail space" said DR..
Ettinger. This is not to be disputed.
The safety and prosperity Of any ma
tion are absolutely dependent upon
education. Part time pupils grow up
to be part time Americans.
If any Mayor Of New York City
knew that his tenure of office de-
pended on his providing adequate
school buildings, adequate school
buildings would be provided. Mr..
Hylan, for example, would devote
the attention he now bestows on
busses and trackless trolleys to new
school buildings and to Improvement
in teaching staffs and methods of
instruction.
But he has discovered that the
voters are content with promises he
fore election and that they never
wholly awaken to the peril of neg
lected public education. Therefore.
he expends his energy on something
ne deems more spectacular, since it
is more OF an innovation.
Mr.. Hylan is not to be excused sor
his neglect Of The schools, but he
shares the responsibility with the
voters, who could, If they chose, cas-
lily force him to provide for the fu-
ture of the city by doing his utmost
to educate the next generation as it
should be educated.

Sidetracking a Locomotive

In this country, when man like
Charles M. Schwab retires from
active business life, industry suf-
fers a distinct loss of highly useful
energy. In England and other Eu-
ropean countries way is found to
make this loss to industry gain 20
the nation. Such man as Schwab,
when he has accumulated what he
deems sufficient Of the worlds
goods, is drafted for service to the
whole people, either in the Cabinet
or as head Of a great department.
The nearest approach we have to
This system is the Cabinet, and too
often political considerations bar
from that body men Who are best
fitted to serve in II. There Is no
method by which the services Of
able men can be Immediately utilized
upon their retirement from business.
Even when this is made possible by
circumstances, as in the >case Of
General Dawes, the beneficial actiy-
tiles Of the men who give their
brains TO the country are SO ham
pered by pulling politicians
that they usually give up the task
in disgust.
The United States is greatly in
need Of men like Schwab and
Baruch and Dawes-far more in
need Of them than it is of some Of
the men it sends to Congress or
elects to state offices. Were it pos
sible to provide them with real op-
portunity for service and the au-
thority to do the work that they
know how to do there would be less
need in the future Of frequent and
interminable Investigations conduct
ed for the purpose of finding out
why so much public money has been
spent to no purpose.
Men VIII can build great indus
tries can build great governments,
which are merely industries in
which all Of the people are stock
holders. But the United States
save only in war time-has few
konors with which to reward its
great men for the services they
would gladly perform were they
given the chance.

(From The London g':msss)


In his PROBLEM Of China" Mr.. Ber-
trand Russell finds the Chinese civiliza-
zion In some things really superior 70
our own, and he is not the hrst Euro
pean to do that. DR.. Johnson spoke
with some impatience Of the habituai
praise Of the Chinese in his day, when
every Chinaman was supposed 20 be o
philosopher raised high above the blind
and vulgar passions Of the West.
There are, indeed, three current
views Of China, all Of them legendary,
but all firmly fixed in different minds.
There Is, frst, the view held to some
extent by Mr. Russell, Of this tranquil,
unchanging world which knows by In
stinct secrets of life that we cannot
learn by experience; there Is, next, the
view, based on stories about baby
towers and pictures Of Chinese tor
lures, that they are a people at once
sinister and grotesque, and, lastly,
there is the willow pattern chinoiserie
view that China is fairy story land
peopled by puppets both charming and
little ridiculous. But behind all
these views is this sense that far away

ity. and lifts .ss eyebrows at our rests
lesgness.
We do not like the thought that
there are 80 many millions Of people,
however far away, who seem to know
80 precisely what they want and whose
wants are SO different from our own.
II is this limited certainty Of wants
and values that overawes us. The
Chinese do not cry for the moon, they
contemplate 1t and make It an item In
their beautiful decorations. They
neither try nor profess to know any
thing about the unseen world. The
mystical Lao-tze insists that we should
not interfere with each other or try 70
make each other good. To him the
people who will insist on governing
other people are mere nuisances, and
the main point Of Chinese politics all
through the ages seems TO have been
that all government is y nuisance, to
be reduced 70 minimum.
The Chinese do not care for war, ex-
cept civil war, the aim Of which is to
prevent some one from governing them
too much; they do not care about saw
| ing other peoples souls, or even their
bodies. Indeed. their indifference ta

very far removed from the Christian,
though che Chinese might perhaps
think chat the Good Samaritan was y
mere busybody.
In any case, whether ws like or dis
like them, they have 9 secret Of par
petuity which we lack. A Mediterra-
mean civilization, as we are now dis
covering, was destroyed before our his
tory began. Before Minos was, China
10, subject 10 anarchies and conaussts
and superficial changes Of ali kinds,
but still the same China, with the
same kind Of art In its earliest bronzes,
the same sophisticated yet simple
skepticism, that remains 70 this day.
Yet this does not mean mere inertia.
Mr.. Russell thinks that the Chinese
enjoy life more than we do, and have
deeper intellectual interests; only
they have made up their minds about
things as we have not; they are born
with their minds made up, and have
been for thousands of gears, where we
incessantly argue about IL and try
