WORKS BEST KNOWN W PUB
LICITY. The atatement hat often been made by
persona who ought to be in a position to
know as to the truth of the statement,
that the municipal ownership of water,
lights and sewerage is a profitable one
for this city.
In other words that .when New Bern
went into possession of its own water
and sewerage system through the par
chase of these properties from a private
corporation, and issued bonds for the
-erection of Its own electric light sys
tem, both Investments were of value to
the tax payers from a pecuniary point of
View.
This Is an unofficial statement, as to
the profit arising from the clty owner
ship of these public utilities.
What the tax payers want to know,
and are entitled to have shown them Is
the public figures showing that the
statement Is true.
But the mere fact that Buch an unofflc
ial statement Is given out is not sufficient
In Itself to demand an official public
statement.
Whether municipal ownership of
these properties Is profitable or unprofit
able, does not make any difference as re
gards the publicity of their administra
tion, that is as to the management and
conduct of the water, sewerage and
light, and the detailed statement show
ing where profit or loss occurred.
TYia first vntr nf mnnlnlnftl nvnemhin
of the water and sewerage, a statement
was given the taxpayers, but since thee,
over one year, there has nothing been
made public, with an official detailed
statement, to show what Is actually do
ing In these systems, whether they are
paying or not, and what progress has
been made In extending these proper
ties, and In their development
A public official is not an'owner of
the property over which he has been
placed In charge by the vote of citizens.
In a sense he Is an employe, certainly
It la demanded that he give frequent and
accurate accounts of his stewardship.
It is not that the taxpayer Is curious,
but that he is entitled to consideration,
which means being kept thoroughly In
formed of the progress and conduct of
those public affairs which he pays to
sustain.
And the city official who renders the
open account of the conduct of his office
will best prove hlsworks through the
publicity of what he Is doing.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
vXvery newspaper readerhas his or her
special department, which Is first sought
When the paper comes out.
" And as the department sought is pret
ty certain to Contain news which the
reader seeks, anything which Interrupts,
Which causes the special department to
be found wanting, makes serious
break in the reader's Interest! In too

As an Instance of this the Washington
Post's Editorial paragraph Merrick
died last Saturday night, and Sunday's
Post Is without Its customary para
graphs, which hay been for years the
dally product of the brain of the bril
liant and Ingenious Merrick, giving to
thousands of readers each day an in
structive and pleafurable' reading.
For many Post readers, these para
graphs possessed special interest, an In
terest which made them the first article
read. -'.'t ?
And now that the writer Is gone there
is found the vacant place, which speaks
most eloquently of the departed Merrick,
and no greater monument will bear tes

eeir-ret pect of his city at heart.
It is something which ought naver to
occar again, yet It is a matter which can
ot bat excite the righteous criticism of
every thinking person.

but justifiable comments that were

TAX LISTING AND TAX PAY
ING. The notice that the State Tax Commie
sioners have begun their tour, to Instruct
the County assessors and those having
In charge the collection of taxes, means
or should mean, the establishment of an
equalized tax assessment system through
out North Carolina.
Tax listing it .too often the false
swearing to property values, the specify
ing what tax the owner wants to pay,
rather than the listing or property at Its
true commercial value.
Hardly a community Is free from this
kind of false tax listing, and the sggrc
gate.ln this State is Immense, when It
comes to the deficit of what actually
ought to be paid In taxes, but which es
capes because of false listing.
The failure to list property justly, re
sults in the man of moderate means
having to bear an unfair proportionate
part of the community's tax burden, be
cause in listing,' the small estate will
come in for nearer Uncommercial value,
than will thejlargcr estates and property
holdings.
Under the present Jplan of action of
the Tax Commissioners, there does not
seem to be any special nerd of admon
ishing them.
There Is of course the customary de
mand In seme quarters, to see that the
railroads and corporations do not escape
paying their taxes.
If there is anything of value in the
present system, there will be no escape
from an equitable tax listing, beginning
with the man of moderate means to the
most wealthy railroad company and
corporation.
The State need, as well as the county.
town and city need.fcls to have every as
sessment made upon the justxommer-
clal value of the property to be assessed,
this commercial value to be determined
by an Intelligent and unprejudiced ex
amination of the property assessed.
In tax asseeslng.the question ot prop
erty ownership should have nothing to
do in the matter, that is all property
should be regarded in Its commercial re
lationship, not considered as to whether
it belongs to a poor or rich man, the
merchant of moderate means, or the
railroad corporation that pays fifteen or
fifty per cent dividends, annually.
An equitable basis of tax listing, and
this can be made by the assessors, will
mean not merely justice to all, but a
greatly increased sum of money for the
State treasury.

PKt as a. Spendthrift.
How did Pitt spend hia Income and
get Into debt T During the greater part
of bis life, after he bad come to man's
estate, he waa In office, and hia Income
was about 10,000 per annum. He did
not entertain, he did not gamble, be
neither hunted nor shot, and yet at
the end of seventeen years ot this la
come of 10.000 per annum be wm
hopelessly In debt That be wm care
less Is very possible. Still, considering
that his Income waa equal to 20,000
per annum now, bow in the name of
wonder did he spend itl
This la all the more mysterious as
he appears never to have paid bis
tradesmen. I have often seen It stated
that England. ought to be proud ot one
of her greatest statesmen having died
poor. Neither Tltt nor England had
reason to be proud of a statesman, en
joying an ample official Income, dying
honvlly in debt and making the pay
ment of his tradesmen's bills depend
ent on parliament voting A aunt to
meet the liability. London Truth.
