The Most Important Measure Before the ; 8tat Legislature Interesting Letter About this and Other Mat- tors. Special to The Tribune Baleigh,' January 21. -Among' the many subjects of legislation which will claim action, at the hands of the present General - Assembly, none is more important to the State and the tax-payers of the. State than the at tempt that is being made to sjcure a more uniform sysem of taxation, with especial reference to bringing aboot mori equitable assessment of real property in the nearly one hundred different counWesv'SU-iJii ',?X '11 tion over present conditions, -involvr ing a notoriously inequitaTjle and un just assessment under the " methods and alleged partiality (w many cases) which obtain, but the State treasury very badly suffers from the inequality of ten discovered but not yet remedied. The chairman of the benate, Fi nance Ceommittee this session - (Jo seph A. Brown, .of Columbus) is not only -the most , experienced legislator in this General Assembly, but one of the very ablest financiers and,. most competent of men to take this mat ter in band. That he has begun to address his beet energies to thejiub- ject will be learned with, great delight by all who hope to see something real ly tangible effected during the pres ent session! Talking with me on the subject today Senator Brown said: ' f. ,Inmv judgment'' we should ap point a Board of State Tax Commis sioners and Equalisers, jwho shonld be charged with the duty of appointing local county assessors in all the conn ties to see that alLproperty, real, and personal ig properly listed and to see that all property is uniformly .listed, assessed, in all the counties '!;':. ' That when any county In ;. the State fails to make a reasonable as sessment the State Board of Equal izers shall appoint a board composed of the chairman of the eounty board of commissioners, the chairman . of the board of Equalizers of the same county and, three competent persons from three -adjoining counties, who shall be required to revise the assess meats of the eounty; and m ease or any further appeal, it should, be re ferred to either the, district board or to the State Board of Jfiqualizers., "To see that all tax laws are en forced. To see that license and priv ilege taxes are listed and paid. To devise and put in use modern meth ods for the valuation of property. "The same, commission should oe clothed Tvith power to audit the ac counts of all the institutions of the State receiving State aid, with full power to direct the method of book keeping and accounting. ; Most of the larger States now- have a similar sys tem and in some States the members are appointed with the view of having both or more or the political parties represented, v " If these canal isations are to be successfully brought about it must be done uniformly and it can be made uniform only when some centra power is charged, with tbia duty and it should be removed as far as possible from local political influences."- - ''- - :y- ;".

'W- Speaker, next December, he will be the (fortieth Speaker of the national House. He will come to the position at a. time when the political stuation will give it a significance it has sel dom passed. , t The House is in a crisis of its parliamentary development. For years there has been growing misgiving as to 'Whether the 'popular branch was making the full contribution to na tional affairs that ought to be ex pected from it - The Senate has over shadowed it in power' and ' prestige. Under a succession of Speakers armed with almost dictatorial authority, the House has become lesa and less a free moral agent, more and more a mere reflection of the mind and. pur pose of its presiding officer. iChamp Clark, , in the ' Speaker s chair, will be the exponent of the new purpose of democratizing the House. Xbe place he will take in Justory will largely depend on the success with which be shall carry forward the pur pose of restoring the House to its proper participation' in legislation, In proportion as be shall be willing to be shorn of the petty powers of parliamentary ' dictatorship, lie. will gather, to himself the vastly greater and more effective authority of big, broad, true leadership. The Senate committee on railroads has named Tuesday, January 31, as the" time for a hearing on Senator Badgett'a bill regulating ' passenger rates to be charged ny railroads oper ating in North Carolina.
