THE PROPOSED ZE:BAE BESBION OF CON- EBS, Advices frop Wushfigton now coucur in the probability that the President will eall an extra sesslon of Congress about tho middle of next month, If the hews be cor- rect 1t Indicates a very decided ehnnge of opinfon on this subject on the part of the President and his principal ndvisers, who were certainly opposed to n ealled session when Congress adjourned » couple of weoks ago, Itls fairto presumo that the change has been brought aboytby speelal influences, Indeed, It 1s very cleatly Intimatod that the Ohlo politiclans havo been hrging an oxtra sesslon on tho ground that ex-President’ Ilayes® veto of the Domocratio Funding bill will eudanger Itepubliean chances for suc- cess In the fnll campnlgn b that State. Ina general way there §s small justitieation for n Natlonnl Aduinistration to shapo its policy to suit the political cmergencles of any par- tieular State, aud In this instance there are many speckiie rensons why such a concesslon to the Ohio politiclans Is undesirable, ‘The Ohlo domand for an extra sesslon 18 not merely selfish but iilogical, "The Exesu- tive veto of tho Democratle Funding bill was in the lne of the combined nna stubborn op- position which tho meusure encountered Irom the Republleans In both Ilouses of Cone gress, 1f thie Ohlo pollticlans nre of theopin. fon that the veto Is Indefensiblo beforo the people, how do they propese to justify the atiitude ot the Itepublican members of Con- gress?

Dut the Democrats would necept nothing short of this bulldoz- tug. Ilenco the President vetoed the bill 1t will not be necessary for Republicans to defend tho seared conduet of certain Nation- al banks n order to put upoun the Democrats the responsibillty of the fallure, It may bo aduiftted that the prompt pns- sage of another Funding blll under the au- splces of n Republican Congress, and the successful negotiation of n new loan at o low rate of interest, would contribute more or less to party suceess in Ohlo and elsewhere, But what guarantee Is thero that such an achivvement will bo the resull of an extra session? It must not be forgotten that the new Congress Is perilously close in both branches. ‘U'lie Sennte hns just been organ- fzed by the Itepublicans only with tno vote of an Independent Senator and the Vieo-Presi- dent, In the llouse the KRepublicans will have & munjority of barely one over all, pro- viding they fill three vacancles,and itisn little donbtful as to ono of them. It Is con- fidently expeeted that several Greenbackers will vote with the Republicans, If necessary, on the questlon of orgnnizing the Ilouse, but no (ircenback votes can be rénsonably count- o dpon for n Funding bill, The Green- baekers are opposed to all funding mens- wres. They want the debt “paid offy as they call Iit, by Isaues of Irredeein- able fint notes which they call money, They would like to have 700 milllons of lrre- deemnble greenbacks printed to **pay off?* the bonds subject to eall next summer, They whl act with tho Democrats In opposing any Funding bill which muy be presented that proposes to pay the bonds in - coinorits equivalent.

The Revenuo law of this State, in estab- Hshing the State Bonrd of Equalization, pro- vides that that Bourd, In Its finnl revision, “ghall not reduce the ngpregate nssessed voluation in the State; neither shall it in- crease sald nggregate valuntion except In Kuch amjount us mny be reasonably necessary to n just cqualization, and not exceeding one percent on such nggregato nssessed yvalun- tion.”” - The tendency of Town Asscssors to reduce nasseasiments for Stato and county taxatlon is | 40 slrong that there Is o danger that the County and City Governmonts nny be starved out in tho operation, and be left without ndequate means of support. It has alrends reached that point in this county, and, unless thers besome other sources of revenue supplied, Chicago may bo left without the funds nccessary for maintalulug the City Government, ‘The authority of the State Board to in- creaso the aggregate nssessments made by the local Anscssors ought really to be con- sidered part of the general authorlty of eaualizatton, In fact, the lodgment of such a power somewhers seems to be cssential to uny intelllgont and just system of equallza- tlon of taxes, E There 1s an objection made by some per- sons that such an authority s forbidden by tho Constitution, which, It Is sald, mukes the local Assessors the only authority to make valuatlons, 'I'his objection Is not warranted by the Coustltution. ‘The Constitution of 1linots gives all duthority over this subject to the Genoral Assembly, and nll the powers exerclsed by Assessors ure those granted to them by the State luiv. "o Constitution (Art, 0) provides: ‘Tho (enera) Assembly shall provide such rove enue us may bu negdful by lovylng u tax by yatuation, . . .

T somo of the eases It was held that with- in tho powers grantesd by the net of the Leg- fslaturo tho authority of the State Bonrd to fix values, to niter, to reduce, amd to enlnrae the returned valuntions of Asscssors was ab- sofute nud final, and 1t was not within the power of the courts to overrulo guch action save In cnses of fraud, ete, In point of fact, the State Board is now authorlzed, and fully exerclses the power, to rovise tho nssessinents made by the countles. There Is no session at which it does not reduce or increaso tha Assessors’ vnluation of land, or lots, or personal property In many of the countles 10, 29, or 40 per cent—In ono Instance Incrensing the Assessora’ valuation of personnl propwrty In this county 122 per cent, ' . 1t the valuations mnde by the Assessors had any constitytional snnctity, or wera beyond the rench of revision, inerense, or reduction, then the State Bonrd has been for many years smashing the Constitutlon in the most shocking and wholesnlo manner, Indeed, tho present Revenue Inw on 118 freo concedes the power of the State Bonrd to Incrense the nggregate valuation mnde by the Assessors, but Ihnits that increass to 2 percent. If 1t be constitutional to increnss tho aggregate of tho Assessors’ returns 2 per cent, then the Legislature may enlargo that limit to 10 or nny other per cent. There belng no possible constitutional ob- Jection, the Leglsinturs belng elothed with full power over the'subjeet, then is it not proper for it to Interpose nuthority some- where to check this forover decrensing pro- portion of asspssmient so'ms to prevent tho County and Municipal Uovernments from being starved to death¥ » : The constitutionsl mte of taxation by. countles for ewmrent expenditures Is Himited to cents on the $100 of valuation.
