"THE REAL TAX PROBLEM.." Under tho above caption, the Rich- uiuiiu jimes-uispatch says, In a lead ing editorial: " "Tho Central Railroad of Georgia has filed with the Comptroller-General of the State Its tax returns for abuse shall have subsided, it will be profitable to enquire whether the con ditions which called It forth have not been tacitly Invited by the people who make complaint. Nevertheless, al though adequate assessment Is a duty, It Is true that nothing Is so delicate of adjustment as real estate values. A bundred questions of location, earn- $n cuJZ,nt year' aggregating 1 6,823,- mg capacity and reasonable contln- iiua is cnaractenzed by tho At lanta Journal as absurdly low. 'The value of the road, In the eyes of those who own and operate It,' says the Journal, 'depends entirely on the end they have In View in making the show, lng. If they wish to show that -there Is a large amount of money Invested in the road on which thev have a right to earn dividends, It is one of gency enter into its equitable exer cise. Over-zeal may well be as dan gerous as ultra conservatism. He Is a wise man who can steer the middle course of Justice without error. In Winston-Salem, which has fre quently afforded valuable object les sons to the SUte, the matter of the forthcoming assessment Is already be ing mooted and discussed. Says the tho most magnificent pieces of proper-1 Winston-8alem Sentinel;. iy m me state, Dut when they are called upon by the State to pay taxes by way of a slight return for the nrlvl. leges thoy enjoy, it becomes a poor little Jerk-water system worth only a few paltry, millions.' That Is un doubtedly true, but that method of valuation is not confined to railroads. Not long ago a Virginia farmer had a cow which wag killed by a railroad engine. He put in a claim for dam ages and swore that the cow was worth $60. Upon Investigation it was ascertained that the cow had recently been assessed at' $20. The editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald knows of a piece of property in that city as sessed at $30,000, for which the owner recently refused a cash offer of $200, 000, and adds that there are numerous cases of the same kind. The Fort Worth Record has been making in quiries relating to the assessment of real estate In Texas, and the replies indicate that the ratio of assessment varies from 30 per cent, to 90 per cent, of the true value. The same cry comes from many sources. The lack of uniformity is proverbial and univer sal The greatest need of our sys tem of taxation is a method that will Insure a full, fair and uniform as sessment of all property. That done, the tax problem would be solved." "A P08ER FOR THE PRESIDENT." Under the above caption, the Balti more Sun publishes the telegram be low from its Washington correspond ent It Is interesting as an exhibi tion of one of the causes of the un equal distribution of wealth in this country a feature of our economic life which is so faithless to the prom ise of the democratic experiment in this virgin land. It Is the outcome ol class legislation the protective tariff re-inforced by the demonetization of silver In a government founded upon hostility to classes. Bays tne correspondent: : v GOVERNOR HUGHES'S FIRM STAND. "By their fruits ye shall know them," and that one may Judged by the ene mies he has made as well as by the friends v. ho surround him, are har monious admonitions, sacred and pro fane, which may never be lightly es teemed. We are inclined to think The Observer owes Governor Hughes, of New York, an apology for express ing the belief, before his Inauguration, that he was a sham reformer and the tool of the corporations. His course in office would Indicate that he 1b nei ther. As a result he has - arrayed ting or pertaining to such a govern ment, as the Federal Constitution." ' I am incllnd to believe that the au thorities who revised these historical definitions for the Instruction of the public were not. right In reversing their signification without reference to, or repltltlon of, the orlgln.tl ac ceptation of the terms. I do not mean to say that the revisionists were dis honest; bat the abrupt revision or re venal of the meaning of trcrmg de rived directly from the Federal found ers, without comment or explanation, is misleading to the casual reader and even to the professed students of United States history, and It is not in accordance with .the expressed pur pose of the dictionary to give the orig inal or primary meaning of the words Included in the work. As I have found that any of them would be ready and fit to respond to a call from his party to lead In a great battle. But, In the words of Grover Cleveland, 'It Is a condition and not a theory that con fronts us.' We have noticed In some of the Sate papers an Intimation that Senator Simmons may be pursuaded by the Executive Committee to recon sider his determination- to lay down the reins of party management. We are assured that the Senator's decis ion is irrevocable, and, feeling as he does in the matter, we do not believe his party will ask him to continue the work. "The tax assessors are already be ginning to discuss the question of In creasing present valuations on real estate and personal property. The matter was Informally referred to by some of the assessors who were here yesterday. Several agreed not to In crease present valuations on average farm lands. One assessor said: ' 'I am heartily in favor of reducing present rates and then' assessing all property at Its true . valuation. This would prove advantageous, I am sure, to real and personal property. The plan suggested is, of course, the ideal of conditions of taxation, and should embody the alms of the taxing power everywhere. The lower the rate the less Is the burden. If the prop erty Is properly assessed at Its true value, and the rate is lowered, the re sult tends towards that equalization of taxation between all classes In pro portion to property holdings which Is so desirable. As It has been, there have been many compromises with right principles on account of hard conditions. As a result large proper ties have not been assessed at a , ( , 1 .... .1. . n . 1 luviiuucu iu uio wum. An i nave luuna Mr! Charles A. Keene, of New York, 88lnt himself the corrupt Repub- otner instances of change of definition president of the Independent Watch Dealers' Association, which Is fighting the so-called "Watch Trust," called upon Assistant Attorney General Purdy at the Department of Justice to-day in connection with the Govern ment's Investigation of the Watch Trust, and also upon President Rooee- relt. llcan and Democratic machine which has so long ruled at Albany. The following extract from an Al bany telegram is Interesting, If not reassuring to the friends of good gov ernment: To Overthrow Hughes. Legislative Albany awoke to-day '" l .. . I itsgiBmuve Aiuttuy Mr. Keene informed me rresiueni 1 BftoP ua ifoi.ov hmhiru, r.M tho that he was presenting to him one of I 0Bwg or we actuai formation of a pro- these foreign-bought, American-made watches as a demonstration of the methods of the Watch Trust and of the lneaualltles of the tariff. Presi dent Roosevelt refused to accept the watch, saying that It was a&alnst the gramme for the overthrow of Gov ernor Hughes and the defeat of his policies, and to realize that the State was on the verge of the greatest po litical contest ever known. The whole question as to the influ- policy of the White House for him to w 0( Mr- Hughes with the leglsla- do so. The watcn, nowever, naa al ready been mailed to the President, who will receive It, and If he cannot accent It may return It to Mr. Keene. Mr. Keene to-day sent two letters to the President The first of these two letters reads as, follows: "Can Undersell the Market." Mr. President: I am president 01 Uniformity of Assessment Is the Real Point. We find the following in the report of the proceedings of the Cumberland County Commissioners: "The board held a conference with a number of the tax assessors, and the matter of the tax rate was thoroughly discussed. It was finally agreed that all assessors should adhere, to their eaths, to put the real valuation on property, and It was generally under stood that the present rate of assess ment would be increased on an aver age of at least 25 per cent." We imagine that the expression, "it was finally agreed that all assessors should adhere to their oaths" is a mistake. It is not possible to suppose that there. waB a debate on the sub ject of the obligation of the oath taken by the tax-assessors. We sup pose the Intention was to "convey the Idea that the assessors would revise their former, oata-pouna esumai.es 01 real value." A financier recently said to this writer that a proper valuation of prop erty In Fayettevllle that Is, upon the average basis in the cities throughout sufficient figure and small ones have I the Independent Watch Dealers' Asso. been assessed too high. What Is need- J elation. I came here to present you ea is a stable Dasis or values, and men a rate as low as economy with progress in public development will admit. tare must depend on the voters of the State. If the men are with him with sich earnestness as to make their de sires felt on the legislators, Mr. Hughes will be able to get his meas ures through. It is believed that the present temper of the leaders is not to permit the Governor to have his way, even though it causes the de struction of the Republican party. It must not be supposed that the Oovernor feels in any sense that he at variance with the original Inter pretation, I suppose the revision was complete with regard to all "treason able" constitutional terms. I do not wish to revert to the original concep tion of the Union, if It would mean 'peaceable dissolution:" but we should all like to have confidence In our dic tionaries as being historically as well as etymologlcally correct. I would add that I am not setting down aught in unfriendly criticism of the people of my grandfather's section of the Union; they are all right; but frequently their histories are alto, gether wrong, have misled them in the past seriously to misjudge other Amer icans quite as honorable as they, and are misleading them to-day as this kind of history repeats itself. I am seeking the truth of history In a philo sophical spirit or research, and If my deductions are wrong I welcome con viction of error. THE STATE CHAIRMANSHIP. News and Observer WHAT WE ARE GETTING FOR DE FEATING BRYAN AND ANTI-IM PERIALISM IN 1900. A contemporary, not over favorable to Mr. Bryan, quoting the speech of Representative Clark, of Florida, pre sents the following balance sheet of our pecuniary losses and gains In the foolish (as well as wicked) attempt by a republic to govern alien and subject peoples. It is almost a reproduction of what The Observer used to be laughed at for predicting in 1898. Says this writer: The $20,000,000 given Spain for the islands was but a beginning. There followed years of war for the suppres sion of the local aspiration for inde pendence, together with costly partici pation in the Boxer war In China, growing out of our presence in the Philippines. To the direct cost of these wars must be added the ex penses incident to our attempt to gov ern an unwilling people, including such Items as the $7,500,000 paid for the friars' lands, the $363,000 paid for damages to churches, the $179,000 which the first Philippine Commission cost, the $100,000 paid for an unpro ductive coal mine, $400,000 given for The Ralelgn sayB: "The statement recently made by Hon.

That would mean an advance of 300 to 400 per cent, instead of the 25 per ceht. mentioned in the extract quoted by us above from the report of the County Commissioners' proceedings; and, if carried out, such an advance, while redeeming us from the stigma of being one of the "pauper counties" of the State, would enable us to reduce our tax levy from $1 on the $100 to 50 cents on the $100, and at the same time secure double the revenue for the city which it now receives from the $1 rate. The same would be true of the county at large, if the assess ment in the county is as much below real value" as the figures given above assume for the city. Now, the great desideratum like the crucial point in the railroad rate prob lemis the adherence to uniformity in assessing values and a rigid oatn bound rejection of discrimination in as sessing them. If that is the meaning of the expression quoted by us concern- $3,000,000 given to relieve the people of the Islands from the effect of the famine caused by our war of subjuga tion. Much more Important than the sums here named is the Immense In crease of our yearly appropriations for army and navy called for by the policy of foreign adventure of which the acquisition of the Philippines was but one expression. To hold an em pire on the other side of the globe necessitated an Increase of army and navy commensurate with our enlarged responsibilities. While we remained a continental power, with a purely de fensive policy, a small force sufficed for our protection, our position being invincible, but by taking Hawaii, Por to Rico, Guam and the Philippines we have given pledges to fortune. These over-sea acquisitions enormously in creased our liability to loss and hu miliation at the hands of powers hav ing larger means of aggression. The effect is seen in our annual appropriation bills. We appropriated In 1906 for the army $71,817,165, against $23,129,344 in 1898, an increase of nearly 300 per cent. West Point cost us $1,644,707 in 1896, against $479,572 In 1898, an Increase of much more than 300 per cent For the navy In 1906 the appropriation was iioji,- with a watch, not because of the in-.

He believes and he Is right that save in rare excep tions a United States Senator ought not to be a State chairman, and now that be can. properly do so, he has re solved to lay down this work. Accept ing his action as final, no other idea can be entertained, but many who have the interest of the party at stake entertain the opinion that the resig nation should be accepted, not to take effect until the meeting of the next State convention. That bourse would prevert ery coitest within the party for the chairmanship at this time. The man who Is to conduct, the next campaign should be chosen after con ference with the candidates in the campaign of 1003 If a man should be selected now. unacceptable tothe nom inees of next years convention, It might prcduce cmbarassment, and for other reasons the selection of a State chairman should be deferred until the next State convention. If the State committee should accept the resigna tion of Chairman Simmons to take ef fect upon the assembling of the State convention In 1908, there is no room to doubt that Senator Simmons would continue to act until that time, with the plain understanding that his res ignation, thus accepted, would be final, and under no conditions would he ac cept re-election at that time. That un doubtedly would be the wise course to pursue, Upon the same subject, the Raleigh Times says "There seems to be iu some quar ters a definite idea that the chairman ing adhering to the obligation of an 091,670, against $33,003,234 In 1898. an gevwel Elgin dence to convict the trust criminally for conspiring with English dealers to prohibit my agents from executing my orders for the purchase of American watches In the English market.

On the front face of the watch is engraved the following Inscription: Presented To PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT As a Demonstration of the Methods of The American Watch Trust, By Charles A.

AN IMFO.RTANT POLITIOQ HISTOR ICAL DISCOVERY. When The Observer editor has occa sion to refer to the dictionary for the meaning of an important word, it is his habit to look up the definition of the same word In "Webster's Un abridged" of the ante-bellum period, which served him at the University li those days. It would be surpris ing to those who have never pursued this course to find what changes have taken place in our language in the fifty or sixty years since. We see that Mr. Matthew Page An drews, a Marylander, who, it seems, had a New England grandfather, is In thevhabit of making similar com- FAYETTEVILLE MARBLE AND GRANITE WORKS, Strictly First-class Work. Call at my yard or write for prices, Respectfully, E. L. REMBBUKG, Proprietor, Fayetteville, N. 0: Recognizing the Impracticability of excluding office-holders from positions of party trust, The Observer has often pointed out what, in its opinion, is the true rule under the handicap JuBt mentioned. It Is this: No office-holder should accept, or be allowed to hold if he would, a party office whose Jurisdiction is coterminous with his public office. And the greater the gulf between the area covered by the pub lic office and the party office, the bet ter; for, by so much, would the Ideal (referred to by the Times, above) be approached. Acting on this simple doctrine which needs only to be stated to be ap proved and responding to the com plaints of representative constituents, this writer objected to a resolution approving Mr. Simmons offered in the Cumberland County Democratic nvention. Upon giving his reason 'or this objection viz: that Mr. Sim mons had held the office of State chairman for four years after he had been elected I). S. Senator by the State the convention sustained the obpection. By some oversight, the correspondents who telegraph ed the proceedings of the con vention to the State press, omitted mention of this most important inci dent the most Important, In fact, of the convention. The writer, therefore, wrote to Mr. Simmons informing him of his action and of his reason for it. Mr. Simmons, of course, took the af fair in good part, and remarked that he bad long desired to resign bis position as chairman, but was pre vented by the urgent request of the committee. We think, under the circumstances, that Mr. Simmons should be allowed to have his way in this matter; and that his successor should be elected now, or at some time in advance of the meeting of the State convention, with the understanding that the field be left entirely open for selection of a new chairman by the convention's new committee.

I have sever seen publlsnea we interesting contrast between the earlier and the later definitions of constitutional terms in Webster's dictionary. The editions of 1828 and 1847 defined the adjective Federal, for instance, as follows: "Consisting In a compact between parties, particularly and chiefly be tween states and nations; founded on alliance or contract or mutual agree ment; as a Federal Government such as that of the United States In 1864 the authorities on American history in New England evidently be gan to look at constitutional terms In a different light calling the pre viously accepted conception ot SUte sovereignty "ridiculous ' or --treasonable.." 1 Of.

We do not by any means agree to this. There may be reasons why a Congressman should not hold the po sition, but they are not prohibitive by any construction. And there may be reasons why an officer of the ju dicial department of the government might not with propriety guide a po litical party through a campaign. But we Bee no reason why a State omcer should be debarred from rendering this service to the party. We will, of course, except a Governor, for he is the Chief Executive of the entire State, and while in office ought not to take active part in partisan politics. He Is the servant of all the people of his State, and not those of his party only. If we were to eliminate all the office-holders, we would eliminate, as conditions are now, the creater part of -themen- avaHabe forthe position. It is true that office-holders are few in comparison with the whole number of Democratic voters, but office-holders are many in comparison with the Democrats fit and ready to take charge of the details ot a party cam paign. Few men in private life ca pable of directing a campaign have either the time or the inclination to undertake a task so onerous and re sponsible. On the other hand office holders owe much to their party and are generally willing to pay the debt by service of this Kind, and auoeo to all this is the fact mat they are gen erally more familiar with affairs po litical, which cannot be learned in a dav. That some ot these things are facts Is unfortunate, we wouiu mat all men took such an earnest interest In the political affairs of their State Dear Old Observer: Mr. D. B.
