Robinson of the Ohio federation of Labor Makes . TimelySuggestions. James A, Robinson of Canton. Ohio, first vice president of OTe Ohio Fed­ eration of Labor, read, a paper on “Taxation in the State of Ohio,’' be­ fore tkp State Tax Commission at the meeting of April 8. Mr, RoblnBon said It Is a common assumption of many people that la­ bor does not bear its .share of the burdens of state, but he did not care to discuss the question from that point of view alone, but rather as a question of Justice between all classes. “Under the present system of ap­ praising real property," continued Mr. Robinson, “the small home is valued higher than the building site and com­ mercial property in the center of the city. This is due to two causes. First, the assessor is able to tell pret­ ty accurately the value of a house and lot or a farm, whose value is from one to three thousand dollars. Second. Under the plan o£* val­ uing real property every ten years the small home owner's prop* ‘erty Is liept on the tax duplicate at its full or more than Us full value (for It does not change very much) while the valuable building sites, worth more per front foot than the entire value of the small home, will double, oft-times treble In value before the ’ next assessment Is m'ade. ■ “To. the extent, that the .laboring man is a home owner therefore he Is more heavily burdened than any oth­ er class and to the extent that the ; taxes paid by the owner are shifted to him as a tenant he_Is equally heavily burdened.' "A correction of these inequalities seems to me to be an easy achieve­ ment. It can be accomplished by the more frequent valuation of real prop prty and by some means for giving publicity to the valuations as they are fixed by the assessors," Prifmote Labor. “Just as the valuable sites in the cities are undervalued,, so the mines, the oil and the gas wells, and the valuable mineral rights of the state •which mount up Into the hundreds of million of dollars are assessed . In many Instances at their value as farms. They are capitalised by their owners at many, times their fanri figure. Now it is to the advantage of those who consume coal, and' oil and gas and other minerals that they be as cheap as possible rather than os dear. It is to the advantage of all classes that these valuable resources’', that cost the owners hut little, if any more, . than farm values, should he used and not monopolized. I t . Is to the ad­ vantage of all those who labor that these resources should be worked rather than held out of use, foV this will increase the demand for iahor and consequently the well being o f alt classes. It should he the object of the state to encourage enterprise and in­ dustry and cheapen the price of these raw materials. By what means can the state, without dealing an Injustice ..to any one, promote this end? It would seem to me that' a law should he pass- ’ ed by which all of-the mining, oil, gas and every other mineral property In the state would he valued by a state hoard a t the capita’(zed value that the owner placed ii-on It himself. , ; Tax Things State Gives Away, There Is still another reason why these classes of property should bo assessed at th eir full value. If any class Is to he discriminated against It should be those Who- own this particular kind of prop­ erty, And for this reasons When we tax it man’s home, his farm, his tools, Ills machinery, the things he, has In Ills house, we tax wnat has cost him labor. They represent Ills own effort and Ills savings. Now when we come to the franchises of the’city corporations, to the rights of the many transportation com­ panies In the state, to the mines and the resources, there Is another value th at does not come from any man’s labor. Now, I understand -.that these values, which for lack of some better name may be called franchise values, are worth In Ohio hundreds of millions of dollars. But they pay no tax whatever. There Is lid way to tax them. A,1 of the taxes of the counties and the cities are collected from the things that labor creates. Ought not the things th a t the slate Itself, that all of us Create and that have cost the own­ ers nothing, be taxed a t least as heavily ns the things th a t the Individual himself produces? If this were done would It not reduce the taxes of the ordinary man by from 25 to GO per cent .more? Promote Ownership of Homes, I t ts but a few days since we took pride In the fact th at th e American people were a people th at owned their homes. We all admit th at the well-being of the- people Is largely dependent on th e sort of homes they live In, Ought not the state to do everything It can to tnnke the owner­ ship of homes easy and natural? It seems to me th at this would be helped very greatly If the cities had the right to exempt houses and Improvements from M u tto n . Possibly If not altogeth­ er, a t least up to *2,005, Give Counties tdore Control. In conclusion, It seems to me the cities ■and the counties ought- to have more' power In the flesllng with taxation. The conditions In cities are very different from the conditions In the country dis­ trict. City land Changes in value dally. There a thousand forma o f . Invisible Wealth abound th a t the country does not have. If It were possible to permit each county to make Its own rules and plans for taxation of these things It seems to me Wo wou’d make greater progress than In any other way, Initiative and Referendum# And, believing in the Initiative and ref­ erendum ns I do, K seems to me that some means should be- dcvlsCd so that the electors Of every county would be Able by petition and election to bring the m atter of taxation homo to the people end let them work out their own Ideas in this'WiT- Manners Mean Much# Manners bring together or separate men by a force more Invincible than that of opinions, X would almost say than by that of sentiment.—*Atadamo Ue Stitel. rThe tax commission of Missouri, in lino with other progressiva taxation or­ ganisations recommends an. amend­ ment to tho constitution that will per­ mit of the classification of property for taxation and will give local option In taxation. Tho report follows: Wo have been greatly aasicted by tho report of tho commission appoint­ ed under the Act Of April' 17, 1901, Wo concur Jn the conclusion of that eommjsison, that no change ean ho made In our revenue system correct­ ing the existing^Inequailtiesj without amending the constitution of the cash value taken as a basis of the assessed value. Some counties value real estate, so far as our reports show, as low as .30 per cent of its selling price, while others have a 90 per cent basis. Some assess real estate at 83 Va per cent, and tangible personal prop­ erty at 50 per cent. The commission concluded that there was an absolute want of equality in taxation Jn the state. “This inequality can not be reme­ died by the State Board of Equaliza­ tion, for the ol/ious reason that the high rate of assessment in certain counties, Including the city of St. Louis, Is enforced by the pressing de­ mand for revenue for local require­ ments, Th.e board can pot raise .the assessments* of the counties which make a low valuation, as that would be imposing an unnecessary burden upon those communities, and on the other hand, it Can not reduce the as­ sessment of those counties which make a-s high valuation without de­ priving them of the means required for their own pressing public wants. ,rWe see no remedy for this existing inequality and resulting injustice, .ex­ cept in the separation of the sources of state and local revenue, We re­ gard this separation of state and local revenues as a basis of any fundamen­ tal reform of the taxing system of Missouri. “Under the plan proposed, the state would retain-all Its inherent powers of taxation^ except as to the general property tax upon real -and personal property) which would be assessed- and .collected ■by the counties and cities for local purposes. The differ­ ent forms ip which this general txing power of the state may be exercised are well known. The state now levies a tax upon Insurance companies, dramshops, express companies, sun- dry corporations, license and inspec­ tion taxes, and a collateral inheritance tax. What other forms .of taxation may be adopted will be for the Gen­ eral Assembly, in its discretion; to- de­ termine. The system proposed, re­ quires no change in the existing lim­ itations upon .the tax rates of the- countles, cities and school districts of the state. “The change recommended requires no modifiation of the methods of as - sessingrthe property of railroads and other public service corporations, by the State Board of Equalization. That system is statutory and' its . continu­ ance o r modification is>ubject to the control Of the General Assembly Should the present system0he contin­ ued) whereby the assessed valuation made by the Btate board is appor­ tioned, to the' counties, the General Assembly should continue the present state tax upon such valuation and provide for Its direct payment Into the staid treasury." m m *r Misguided Man# A Pennsylvania man asserts that his wife hasn't spoken to him in. coven years, Yet the misguided man is su­ ing for *>divoree.--N.

By W ALTER W. BURGESS. It Is my opinion, upon a study ut first hand, that the state owned telephone systems of Europe compared with .the telephone systems of this country, both as regards development and from a financial and service stand­ point, are woefully deficient.- So ludi­ crous Is the comparison that It puts me lu mind of the American gentleman who, when traveling in Asia Minor, Insisted upon tho similarity of the riv­ ers In that country with the rivers in Ohio—because there were salmon Jn 'both, l have been 'greatly Impressed with what T, might term the telephone habit' of the people in this country. The vari­ ous telephone companies appear to make every effort to foster and develop still further this habit, both by attrac­ tive schedules of rates, graded so that they make provision for tho most mod­ erate user, and by adopting Improve­ ments which will tend to make the use of the telephone more frequent. Con­ trasting this with the state of affairs in, Europe—-take London, for example— it Is a common occurrcuce and within •my own personal knowledge that nine months have elapsed between the date of the order being given and. the actual installing of the telephone. In Ger­ many there are' two stated periods' during 'the year in which telephones are Installed. Should a person require a telephone installed apart from either of these two set periods a special charge is made. In addition to this, all intending subscribers must first ob­ tain written permission from their landlords. The rates for long distance service in this country are much higher than in Europe, but the service given, which Is the real criterion, is corresponding­ ly much more satisfactory. Although the rates in Europe are low, you can­ not get service. In continental Europe especially the toll lines are so limited that practically. throughout the busy hours of the dny up to late’ In the afternoon the lines are continually blocked. This has led to the establish­ ing of wbat are termed “urgent rates," For Instance, If you require to com­ municate with a subscriber promptly by paying three times the amount of; the ordinary rate yam* call takes prec­ edence over the ordinary m'essnge. In Great Britain a toll line ean only be held for a six minute period, when the line must be relinquished, ft restric­ tion- which only a government depart­ ment would dare to enforce and which would not be Iterated by the business men qf this country. The contrast between thd operators is moat marked, I have been impress­ ed with fbe intelligence, vim, snap, call it what yon "kill, of the American op­ erator, When I consider the number of calls they bundle,, their speed and accuracy seem to mo little short of marvelous. I was astonished a t tho length the companies'go in looking after their physical welfare. After looking through an' exchange/ in Chica­ go I wrns shown over tho operators* re­ tiring rooms. I could not help con­ trasting the pleasant surroundings with those of an exchange I visited In Paris. There the switchboard was in an extremely dirty condition, and the switch room hnd evidently not bceh cleaned for days. No retiring or lunch rooms were provided for the operators* who apparently were doing Just as they pleased. Some were reading, and some were Indulging In animated con­ versation, the answering of calls being quite a secondary consideration. In' Berlin, Stockholm and London the sur­ roundings were certainly much better, but nothing to be compared with wbat I saw la Chicago, and the operating was terribly slow. I attribute this dif­ ference to the fact that, whereas In America the operator's position and ad­ vancement depend upon her ability, in Europe the operators, being a part of the civil service, cannot bo discharged, and thus, having obtained a position for life, have no further Incentive and rapidly absorb the well known inertia of that department As far as my investigations go, the telephone systems in this country are managed along commercial lines-. Rates are fixed with regard to tho actual cost of giving service. Improvements are adopted ns boor ns their efficiency has been demonstrated, and a plant which, owing to improvements In the art, has become obsolete Is at once discarded. This is far from being the caso In Eu­ rope. There the business Is conducted by methods that are neither practical nor commercial. Considerations which are quite foreign to the business enter in. Rates are fixed without regard to the factors which should govern them, For instance, in Switzerland the same r a te .Is- -chiirgecLJii._ Havas*..a city.of 8.000 Inhabitants, ns in Enrich, with 150.000 Inhabitants. The tendency Is also very great to Oppose any improve­ ment or any change which tends to make additional expenditure necessary, Berlin Is now just adopting tlie com­ mon battery system after operating for years with a cumbrous and old fash­ ioned grounded lino magneto System. It has been periodically announced thnt tlie telephone system of Paris Is to bo reconstructed on modern lines, but each year there Is a new excuse, and Paris is still struggling along with a most miserable and hopelessly antiquated system. Scientific Discovery Anticipated. i t is interesting to note that in ex- trading electricity from a man’s Stomach, in San Francisco, a drink of whisky doubled the voltago. This bears out observatlono that have been made by the unscientific and without, the aid of electrodes or a microphone. Why the Dot Over *■».« * The sinall letter “l” was former!)

Lucian H, Tyng Compares Pufelio and Private Ownership. Luelen II.

It may be developed into a source of great profit, but only In con­ junction with capita! and business abil­ ity, especially the latter,, which If not employed In the particular gas busi­ ness in question migbt be securing .greatpr returns in some other field.. “There is no more logic in the belief that the surplus earnings of a success­ ful gas company over a certain per­ centage on (he Investment should go to the municipality than that a whole­ sale grocer should refund to his cus tomer all profits over 6 per cent, suy, on the capitalization of his company. The success of the gas company conies from the use of proper judgment, en­ ergy and business methods In the use and risk of capital invested, just as In any other business, “That ISften the gas business is ap parently a natural monopoly in a given community dobs not disprove the fore­ going reasoning. The gas companies that are making the most money today are not those that are taking advan­ tage of their franchise rights to exact high rates. They are the ones who by their own effort in educating the peo pie are so increasing the per capita consumption of gas as to make a lower rate n business possibility and by their Intelligent attention to operating cost and Investment of large amounts of new capital when needed are able to reduce the cost of making gas sufil cleutly to secure ft greater total profit out of selling a large amount of gas at a tow rate than was before received when rates were higher and business less. . . • -- “But It fs oaly by the most aggres­ sive and intelligent business methods tbat-a gas Company cauliope to sue ceed under bitch conditions.

Portsmouth, o„ was among the first to install Its own electric light plant, which It operated until a street rail way system was Installed. At that time n contract was made with the street railway company by tbe terms of whlch.it took charge of the lighting plant and furnished light to tbe city for a specified sum. This contract continued In force until about three years ago. When tbe practically worn out and out of date equipment Ivns sold to the street railway company because tho city was unwilling to ex­ pend the money necessary properly to re-equlp the plant. In Chehalis, Wash. » According to-the mayor of Cliebnlls* Wash., “the city owns the plant, which was leased some tlmo ago to a private party. That party now owns nearly nil the nmchlnery connected with tho plant.
