THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON ¢ D.C.. TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1889. SHE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation ef any Newspaper in the World. and as am Advertising Mediam is worth mere than all the other papers published im Wi tenement —— The main arguments which aro used to sus- tain the change in the basis of assessing Dis- trict real estate, which has been adopted by the assessor, proceed onthe mistaken theory that uniformity in assessment will be thereby better secured. But inequalities in assessment will evidently not be corrected by raising the general standard of assessment. Justice to in- dividual taxpayers and considerations of pub- lie welfare demand a uniform taxation. But there will be the same opportunity for unjust inequalities whether the assessor estimates the true value of all property at what it will be likely to bring froma private purchaser who wishes to buy it or at what it wiil be likely to bring at forced sale. The people of Washing- ton ask that the standard of assessment be ap- plied uniformly, without favor or discrimina- tion, to all property. Acbange in the standard itself does not tend inthe slightest degree to meet this demand. The claim made in behalf of the increased standard that it alone fulfills the law amounts to @ declaration that previous assessments in the District have been illegal and that the con- struction given to similar statutes in various states has been all wrong. Property has differ- ent values under different circumstances and to different persons. To its owner it may have a high value, to a would-be private pur- chaser with some special use in view it may have a sill higher value, to a specu- lator it has a different value, under un- favorable circumstances or at a forced sale it has another value. Which of these is the true value which the assessors are to ascer- tain? It has been thought just and, in view of the prevalence of moderate assessments, the intention of legislators that the law should be construed to mean a value which the property would bring even under unfavorable circam- stances, as at forced sale. To say arbitrarily that this construction is illegal, and to command the assessors, under threat of fine, to estimate the yalue according to a higher standard, is a trifle presumptuous. The assessor is in conflict with the legal department of the District building in his construction of the statute concerning the rate of taxation. He may err in his judicial declarations concerning the law of assessment. ‘The other construers of such statutes may be right and he may be wrong. It does not even appear that he has any legal authority to lay down the Jaw for the district assessors, who must perform the dutics assigned them by statute solely on their own responsibility. If the assessor's legal discovery should turn out to be technically correct, and as a result of his “pernicious activity” the assessments should be enlarged about a third, irrespective of gains from the correction of inequalities, the result would be injurious to the commu- nity. The uniform application of the forced- sale standard of assessment works no injustice to anybody; and the raising of the standard will help nobody. The revenues raised by the old standard exceed every year the amount which the United States government has been willing to spend as equal partner in sustaining the national capital. An increased revenue will merely swell the District's troublesome surplus. If there is the slightest doubt as to their power to do so the Commissioners will not venture to reduce the rate of taxation, and their law officer has denied that they have this power. Application to Congress for a re- duction of the rate, based on an extraordinary assessment, will reopen the question of the ex- tent of the government's just liability to con- tribute as a property-owner and equal taxpayer to the development of the long-neglected na- tional capital, and will give to its enemies an opportunity for which they have been seeking. Every property-owner in the District will be unnecessarily taxed a third more than at pres- ent, and the size of the swollen tax will be used by some narrow-minded men as an argu- ment for doubling its amount by the withdrawal of the United States from the financial relation which they now sustain to the District taxpay- ers. oe Everybody will be glad to see Mr. A.D. Hazen, the popular and efficient third assistant postmaster general under several of Mr. Cleve- lnnd’s predecessors, back in his old place again. The green postage-stamp is doomed, Judge Tyner, who has served as Postmaster General and as first assistant, and is well known to Washingtonians, will also render valuable service as the law officer of the de- partment. Mr. Wanamaker will be aided in the diree- tion of postal affairs by experienced hands, SS a News of the revocation by the Commissioners of a permit granted to the Pennsylvania rail- road has caused a profound sensation in the community. The people are almost too much surprised to hurrah, snd in startled expectancy they whisper to one another: “What will hap- pen next?” Will Mr. Webb do something des- perate in proper regulation of the gas com- pany? Will Mr. Wheatley give heed to the popular clamor for an amendment of the lien law? The lamp still holds out to burn, and the return of the Commissioners to an undivided allegiance to the public interests will be gladly welcomed. Their revocation of this railraad permit, the first on record to be credited to them, indicates the birth of an impression that the laws are to be enforced impartially against corporations as well asindividuals, The public rejoices. The announcement of this action is a@ swan-like music in its ears, “The swan’s sweetest song is the last it sings.” oo ‘The appointment of a well-known and highly respected District lawyer to fill the vacancy on the District bench will give general satisfac- tion. The President does not swerve a hair's breadth from his announced home rule policy of local appointments. Tae Star congratu- lates Judge Bradley, the President, and the people of the District upon this ending of the struggle against the importation of some out- side politician to serve as Judge Merrick’s suc- cessor. ‘The surplus inaugyral fund of $26,000 which the Commissioners received yesterday as trus- tees for charitable uses will be “a handy thing to have in the house.” The interest from the fand will not be large enough to make through its disbursement a tramps’ Paradise of Wash- ington; but it will be sufficiently large, if re- served for seasons of emergency, and Jjudici- ously expended in the relief of actual suffering, to accomplish much good. It will also be the nucleus of a fund which may in time rise to handsome proportions. —_——— Miss Anderson's brother says, concerning his interesting sister, that she needs ‘some restful influences,” and that he fears “Philadelphia is too nervous for her.” A certain degree of in- considerate excitement in the Anderson family may reasonably be ascribed to the illness which afficts it, and may be forgiven; but this cruel and unjust depreciation of the restful influ- ences and steady nerves of Philadelphia ie un- pardonable.
