THE, EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, ‘TUESDAY... «June 39, 1804, CROSBY S$. NOYES.. ————- THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined eircalation of *he other Washington dailies. As a 1° with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editoria} or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. ———_————_— During one of the hearings on the bond- iseue bill before the House District commit- tee, a member suggested questioningly that there was considerable loca! dissatisfaction with Washington's tax assessment on ac- count of its lowness. The cause of dis- content is the highness, not the lowness of the assessment. A taxpayer may think that bis neighbor is assessed too low, but he means relatively too low as compared with himself, and bis complaint is really that his own assessment is too high. The true purpose of the needed revision of as- sessments is to remove inequalities and to secure uniformity, not to raise the general standard, which is already too high, com- pared with that of other municipalities, and too high for an accurate popular under- standing of the tax burdens imposed upon the residents of Washington. On Saturday The Star printed a compari- son of the per capita tax levy of Washington and other cities, based upon the figures of @ census bulletin. Commissioner Wright, im this bulletin says that the relation of the assessed to the true value of property varies so in the different municipalities that a comparison of the rates of taxation is mis- Jeading, and that a true idea of the relative taxation can best be obtained by a compari- won of the per capita tax leviea. This bulletin was quoted on Saturday to show that the actual tax burden of the ‘Washingtonian was greater than that of the resident of the majority of municipalities, concerning which figures were given, and @qual to the average of cities approximat- ng it in size. Further use may be made of the bulletin to show that Washington's tax assessment is higher than that of most other municipalities approximating it in size, and that consequently its apparent low Fate ($1.50 per $100) gives a false idea con- cerning its actual tax burden. The census bulletin states the actual and assessed value of real estate in parallel columns, ex- plaining that “the true value is as reported to this office by local officers or others be- Meved to be familiar with real estate values im their respective localities." The state- ments of actual value are in many cases, perhaps in all, underestimates, but the . Comparative showing in respect to the dif- ferent cities is interesting and significant. In Washington the assessed value is so much nearer the actual value than in the other cities that it is put as the same. The showing in respect to the other municipali- ‘es cited on Saturday is as follows: ‘True Assessed Value. Value, $123, 110,2: $123,110,219 90,948,575, 16,315,645 78,138,610 89,069,305, 100,448,120 47,359,475, 200,000,000 72,734,940 140,646,000 85,003,020 132,780,960 88,603,020 - 342,933,710 212,131,450 + 1,250,000,000 170,554,147 The true vatue of Chicago real estate as riven to Mr. Stead in his recent investiga- sions, is two thousand millions, instead of the twelve hundred and fifty millions, with which it is credited in the census bulletin, and there are other underestimates. But even according to the census statement, the @messed value of Omzha’'g real estate is less than one-sixth of its actual value, of Indianapolis one-half, of Allegheny City Yess than one-half, of Cleveland less than one-fourth, and of Chicago less than one- aeventh. The same results are reached when the per capita tax levy, showing the actual tax burden, is compared with the rate of taxa- tion; Washington, in spite of its low rate, being burdened equally as heavily on ac- sount of its high assessment. Per cap. tax levy. 10.65 TUS . 10.49 v.04 iit 11.65 1a. 11.8 12.0 @ Fate of taxation the citi- fen of Omaha is taxed more than three times as heavily as the resident of Wash- irgton and the citizen of Chicago more than four times as heavily, but owing to the low assessments of these two cities, the Oma- haite pays less in actual cash into the treas- ry than the Washingtonian, and the Chi- cagoite only a trifle more. It is to be remembered that the compari- sons of the census are made with Washing- ton’s assessment of 1890 and that the as- sessment which needs to be revised in pur- suance of pending legislation is that of 1898-04, which is much higher than that ef 1800. There is no such large correspond- ing increase in the assessments of the other cities. The present assessment of Washing- ton real estate is over 160 millions as against over 123 millions in 1890. The assessed and taxed fraction. of Wash- ington is less than one-half of the entire area, the government owning the exempted remainder. It appears that this half of the capital is assessed at more than seven times the value of all Omaha, more than three times the value of all Indianapolis, 73 per cent more than the value of all of the great city of Cleveland, and nearly as much un- der its present assessment as Chicago, with its vast area, more than a million inhabt- tants, and its numerous and costly business buildings and fine residences. Washing- ton’s assessed value was one hundred and twenty-three millions in 1890, one hundred and sixty millions in 1893, and Chicago's was one hundred and seventy miilions in 1890. Washington wants a uniform application of its assessment standard, not an increase of that standard. It is already too high for purposes of fair comparison with other titles. —_—_~+-++—____. Something of a scorch js expected from the testimony of Superintendent Byrnes in te New York police investigation. —_—— It would be interesting to know whether Mrs. Lease desires to be a Congresswoman or @ Congresslady. tee Until we of the United States know more of the causes that led to the expulsion of the Copenhagen Theater Company from Schleswig-Holstein territory, it would be just as well to maintain a@ dignified but in- quisitive silence. On behalf of the expelled players it is alleged that thetr sole offend- ing was their intention to produce Danish drama in the town of Hadersleben, which, although governmentally Prussian, is tn- habited almost exclusively by people whe speak the Danish language. Of course no American can sympathize with the ruling forees that do business in so harsh a fash- fon as those Prussians did, but there should be suspension of American judgment until all the facts are clearly defined; until we know the character of the tragedy or comedy the company intended to present, but did not. And it may turn out that the harshness of official action is merely local and has no support from the national government—which is largely the emperor. This caution as to accepting over-eagerly the cabied outline of a story which 1s likely to result in unbottling much American Wberal of condeninatioh and then to dis- cover that a similar thing had been done in this country, certamly with the consent of local authofities, not once only, but ernment was not responsible for the happen- ing, nor, perhaps,.could any of the state governments be held to legal accountability, but it fs undoubtedly true that theatrical companies have been denied the right to present certain plays in at least two sec- tions of the United States; dates and places are procurable.. If..the Copenhagen com- pany proposed to present a play the senti- ment of which would do violence to the feelings of the Hadersleben authorities, it occupies a position nearly parallel with that of the Uncle Tom's Cabin troupe that want- ed to convert the people of Mississippi to abolitionist views. It may be that there ‘was no dramatic aggravation in the Haders- leben incident, in which event officia) in- terference will Aouvtless be disapproved by the emperor and another European war cloud be dissipated. Information from the #econd congres- sional district of Arkansas indicates that the democratic nomination—which is prob- ably the only nomination worth having in that region—will this year be bestowed upon Mr. Cliftom Rt’ Breckinridge, who for almost twelve .years-has represented the peopie of that district. The causes that have brought about Mr, Breckinridge’s de- feat—and it should be remembered that this is not Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky—are is brought about by a misunderstanding. | In a letter to bis constituents, Mr. Breck- inridge said: “f:reaitze the importance of friends fully understood the situation of the tariff bill and my daily duties in con- nection with it, they would agree with me that my superior. duty {* to stay here, re- gardless of any personal ednsequences that may flow therefrom.” The sentiment is noble and does “Mr. Breckinridge much credit; few Senators or Representatives be- lieve their public business to be superior to their private aims. In view, however, of the unpopularity of the tariff bill, it is not unreasonable to suppose that Mr. Breck- inridge’s daily duties im ¢onnection with that rather remarkable piece of legislation have had a disastrous effect upon his polit- ileal career. The art of letter writing is a dangerous accomplishment; even the expert scmetimes says too much, -_roro————— It is very possible that Erastus Wiman has cynical reflections to the effect that he merely failed to select @ discreet method of dishonesty.
