PERMANENT ASSESSMENT BOARD. Advantages of a Flexible Rate of Taxation. eee ees, INHERITANCE TAX, es AN Written for The Evening Star. No subject is more important than this one, to the fnterest of the people, and con- sequently none is more worthy of their at- tention, said Gov. Hoffman, commenting mission, 1871: “The interests of the people require a method of taxation at once equit- able, effective and free from unnecessary oppression; one which will yield the requi- site revenue, while subjecting them as littie The question of taxation, or, in other words, the method by which an equitable distribution of the burden of supporting the machinery of government is fixed, has always been a complex probiem, notwithstanding the emi- to time to solve the problem. Probably no satisfactory solution is attainable. We may, however, by patience and perseverance, reach a basis measurably satisfactory, or, at any rate, it is our duty at all times to apply such methods toward the solution as experience and research has demonstrated | to be free from just criticism. Ali expe- | rience points to the continuance of real estate as the basis of municipal revenue, and yet it is unsatisfactory, and often un- fair by reason of the impossibility of fair comparative valuation of property, so scat- tered as to defy accurate assessment by any one man, o> set of men, no matter how skilled they might be in the work of) real estate valuation. The trouble hereto- fore has been the defective assessment. The assessors were picked up at every} periodical assessment without reference to| their capabilities to perform the duties per- taining to the office, but selected from among those who were oui of employment at the time, and who sought the places to | earn the cumpensation attached to them. | There were about twelve of them, all were | paid $ per day, which was in most in- stances the measure of their interest in the work. Is it strange that glaring and per- nicious errors crept in, and gross injustice to the taxpayers prevailled,that murmurings and discontent were manifest on all sides, and the whole scheme brought into disre- | pute? Not at all. The last assessment was conducted upon lines that conform to the judgment of the highest authorities on the subject—that is, | to appoint those who are conversant with /| the subject of real estate valuation and municipal taxation, both in its literature | and practical appiication,to the end that we may secure for the service in this city whatever practice and experience may have demonstrated to be good in other cities. Valuation. The difficulty with all assessments grows out of the inability of the assessors to properly value the taxable property, gener- ally being guided by the selling price,which is by no means a safe guide, since many reasons enter into the selling price apart from its real value. Not long since a buyer paid $30 per square foot for land on F street, when probably the adjoining owner would have been glad to get $20 per square foot for his. So it cdn be readily seen that the selling value is not always a safe guide. The matter must generally be reached by determining as near as possible the uses to which the property can be put to earn a fair imterest on its valuation, or, as it is cailed in England, its rental value. The tenth census showed that the valua- tion in some states was only 28 per cent, while in others it was as high as 68 per cent. A wide margin, to be sure, but a necessary sequence from the inability of securing men at random to do the work properly at the rate of so much per diem while engaged, rather than by securing a small permanent force, with a fixed tenure, to make them independent and free from the necessity of courting certain influences to secure their retention in office—men who would give to this city the benefit of con- stant investigation of the methods in vogue in the leading cities of the world. Relation to the General Government. Those who have not investigated the subject are easily led to believe that Wash- ington enjoys a favor through its relation to the general government, but such is not the fact. The government of Great Britain assumes and defrays a large portion of the municipal expenditures of the city of Lon- don, such as, for example, all expenditures on account of public education, mainte- nance of local courts, public buildings, the indigent in: e, the fire department, docks, &c. Paris, France, had nearly all its ex- penses paid up to a year ago by being al- lewed what is known as the octroi tax, which in 1870 amounted to three-fourths of the total municipal expenditures. The same may be said of Berlin, in Germany, though government aid is extended to other cities, about fourteen in number. The same is true of Vienna in Austria, of St. Petersburg in Russia, and for a long time Rome in Italy. I merely mention these facts to show that the general gov- ernment do#s not even do its duty toward the capital of the nation, since it pays only what might be justly exacted from a stranger—taxes on its property. Personal Taxes, ‘The personal tax, while in theory it prom- ises well, yet in practice is open to grave doubt, it never did work well and grows worse and worse in accordance with the efforts to enforce it, intelligent men who have considered the question are nearly in condemning it in practice. It offers a premium to perjury and lying, it fosters deceit and evasion and does more to undermine the moral character of our exemplars than any other thing tolerated by :@atute. Says one writer: The liquor tratlic, under proper regulation, does not contribute half as much to the moral ob- liquity of the citizens as does the effort to tax invisibie property. The amount of per- sonal property returned for taxation in the state of New York actually decreased over one hundred millions of dollars between 1871 and 1884. In fact it is said only a few besides farmers, infants and insane per- sons pay the tax, yet until some form shall be devised to take its place it will form a feature of our taxation. In Great | Britain, France, Belgium, Germany and Helland ao effort is made to collect direct taxes on personal property, and in fact special care is taken in laying excise taxes to see that they do not hamper any busi- ness or increase the cost of production, and hence greater cost tu the consumer. Thus it follows that real estate must for a | long time be the basis of all local taxation, | this is properly so. Since real estate can- not be conceaied, nor can any person evade | is just portion of the public burden by subterfuge or evasion, only through the | venality or malfeasance of those whose | sworn duty it is to make a just assessment | return, can any fraud creep in. The tax) under such circumstance is two fold in| character, to the owzer it is a direct tax, | to the tenant it is most popular form of taxation, namely, indirect, just tne same as the government tax on imports and | manufactures, and certain articles which bear a tax on account of their noxious | character, an effort to tax them out of ex- istence. The exemption of personal proper- ty from taxation would not increase the burden on real estate, since the consequent attraction of new capital d the incen- tive to business expansion would undoubt- edly secure larger returns than could. be obtained from 2 mixed system. Adam | Smith considered it good policy to concen h inethods d by eq convenience and economy. likely every form of conditions, we can, trate only on s and principles ity, certainty, w, it’s not axation will fit these | however, keep them steadily in view, whil king to reach an equitable solution. " said he, was | a dangerous ci who gave no attention | to politics, which !s quite true, and when one considers the tremendous ‘importance of correct methods of taxation, he may | well be called a dangerous citizen who | gives no attention to the matter of taxa- tion. Excise Taxes. The wisdom of prohibition in regard to! social evils has long been the subject of discussion by eminent philanthropist and political economist, and after a long and; heated discussion the consensus of opinion | | regarded. By leans toward the imposition of a tax rather than seeking to prohibit by stringent legis- lation, which is at first secretly evaded and at last unblushingly violated and dis- the imposition of a heavy tax every person engaged in the business becomes an agent of government to assist in its collection and at the same time ena- bles those charged with its regulation to more certainly perform their duties. Fur- thermore, the excise tax has a beneficial influence in restricting the consumption of articles which, by their nature, are believ- ed to be injurious, both to the consumer and to the community. This brings us to the consideration of the most important problem in the whole scheme of taxation. Assessment. The principles of equitable taxation are not difticult of solution, nor would that qtestion alone present an insuperable ob- stacle, but as ail taxation is simpiy a principle applied to a condition existent it becomes a matter of deep concern to consider well the conditions surrounding the locality where the taxation is to be| applied. This is very important, since the mose erudite application of scientifically correct principles of taxation may work badly when applied in a locality presenting complex conditions which defy every ef- fort to reduce them to a uniform basis. the late board of asessment were equal to the necessities of the situation as outlined above and would have made a satisfactory assessment, but while they were engaged in the work Congress was induced to start an investigation, the criticism of which they were anxious to avoid, and thus they met the fate that threatened Ulysses in trying to escape Sylla, they foundered up- on Charybdis. Every one who has given the question consideration will appreciate the necessity for an equitable and correct assessment, but this is difficult to obtain when a committee of Congress starts a counter assessment and calls in question the honesty and efficiency of those by law intrusted with that duty. The conditions under which they labored is the best argu- ment for a new assessment, since no criti- cism can fairly attach to them. The board was properly constituted, since the colored people had a representative to look after their interest, forming, as they do, one- third of the population. The other gentie- men were men of ripe experience, and their appointment gave full satisfaction at the time. But there were conditions surround- ing that neutralized their best efforts, nor could the board of revision mend the matter. In a majority of cities the imposition of a tax on the liquor traffle secures immunity or a light assessment for some species of property; in others the inherttance tax re- lieves some form of property from assess- ment. It seems to me that we might very well engraft this form upon our system, since of all taxes imposed none seem more equitable or more easily borne than the inheritance tax, It does not take from him who accumulated the wealth one cent | of his earnings, it makes its demands only after he who worked for the money no longer needs it, and diminishes but s}ightly the patrimony of those who, by inheritance, succeed to the estate. Suggestions, Tt would urge upon the Commissioners the propriety of at once preparing a bill to secure, at the earliest practicable mo- ment, a new assessment, made by a per- | manent board of assistant assessors, who, together with the assessor and auditor of the District, should form a board of equali- zation and apportionment, they to meet at a fixed tine to hear all complaints submit- ted each year before a certain day, and the | board thus created to have power to ad- just all irregularities, inequalities or over- valuation, as the case may be, and deter- mine the question finaliy, That the arbi- trary rate be changed and made flexible, so that the rate each year should conform somewhat to the proposed expenditure of that year, thus avoiding, as far as possis ble, the accumulation of a large surplus in the treasury, which often happens through the arbitrary character of the rate, limiting the rate, however, to its present one and a haif dollars per one hundred dollars of as- sessed valuation. That the Commissioners consider the advisability of securing au- thority to levy a smail tax on inheritances, the money so obtained to form the hucleus of a sinking fund to extinguish bonds to be issued to complete the sewer system as recommended by the commission of 1890. Other citizens may suggest other methods to remedy the difficulties inseparable from organized government, and from the multi- plicity of thought a proper system may be reached, DANIEL MURRAY. a HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Matters That Interest Students in the Various Branches, : The report for the first quarter will be handed to the pupils next Wednesday, and on that dey joy, sorrow and.a “half-way- between” sort of spirit will sweep down upon the high schools like a whirlwind, but the sorrow which will prevail among a large pertion of the students will be somewhat eased by the foot ball game which is to come off on that day between the teams from the Central and Business schools. The Central-Eastern game was considered the most important of the year, because it decided the relative chances of those two teams for winning the school championship, but the coming game will be far more ex- citing, as the teams are more evenly match- ed. The teams will line up as follows: Central. Positions, Business. Keys. seers left end -Carr. Saunders. left tackle. . Richmond. Cockerell. -left guard. W. Smith. Maddren 1, Smith. De Silver.

Messrs, Foster and Ball have been ad- mitted to the Debating Society. Western. From the present indications, everything points to a most successful Christmas en- tainment. Miss Wescott has finally de- cided to give three performances, two evening and one matinee. In ad- dition to the features sheretofore mentioned in The Star, an _ operetta, entitied, “Penelope, or the Milkman’s Bride,” will be ‘rendered by several of the pupils. The piece is not very long, and is inclined to be funny, and those tak- ing part will have excelient opportunities to show their dramatic as weil as musical abilities. The rehearsals are being carried on secretly, so that very litde is known as to the progress made, and the names of the young ladies and gentlemen taking part. The foot ball team has done very little this week, there being so many prepara- tions going on for the entertainment that the boys have had very little time for pra tice. Severai changes have been made at different points in the rush line. and the team is much stronger than ever before.

The board of school trustees is now con- sidering the advisability of conferring upon those who finish a course at this school a certificate of graduation. | There were 135 pupils in attendance last night, the bitter weather probably keeping | a number by their firesides. | The Central is represented in this school by the following graduates: Helen Blonde- heim, Minnie Fisher and Gertrude Allison The Eastern by Edward Ockert, Josephine Mulcahey and Blanche Woodington, and the Business by John Thompson, W. P. Fowler and Roy L. Whitcomb. A number of the young men are now en- tertaining the project of forming a foot ball team from among those who are able to practice after 4 o'clock and piaying the teams from the other high schools. Another movement is also on foot to or- ganize a social club among the boys and girls of this school and have pleasant social gatherings every other Thursday evening. One of the largest classes in the school is the typewriting class. All of the ma- chines are used and difficulty is sometimes found in accommodating all of the class. Two young men, strangers in the school, attended last night with the intention of having a good time, but when they started to play their pranks on Mr. Robertson, that |gentleman quickly ejected them from the building. Mr. Donald McDonald, playing on the | first Business eleven, is attending this school, together with Carr and Sears, who also hold positions on that team. is Sa Women as Watchmakers. | From the New York Herald. | The Waltham watchmaking establish- | ment employs 1,890 women among its 3,000 ‘work people.

This is the most discouraging feature of woman's attempt to rise indus- | triaily. | eer ' A Guarded Answer. | From the Detroit Free Press. | “Now confess, McBride, do you hold your wife on your lap as much now as when you were first married?” asked Barlo: “Well, Barlow,” replied McBride, “to tell the truth, I believe she sits on me rather more now than then.” One dozen bottles of Johann Hoff’s Malt Extract | ; sive as much strength and nourishment ax cask of ale without being intoxicating. } ‘The genuine ts always soid as Johann Hoff's | katrac a Mat nd must have the signature of “JOHANN on the meck label. isner & Mendelson Co, Franklin st., Net Agents, SXEXSXSNE (00 ‘ For Ladies’ x $3&$3.50Shoes Ail Sizes. xX) 0 | IX! your eno Cloth ont | toe wi Blachers, ie $2.50 Instead of $3.50. ~ X oo X ou of three tyles: With opera Oo} i. al iX| Hoover & Snyder, ¥ | 1217 Pa.
