THE"THICKENTNG TROUBLES OF RUSSIA
THE POLITICAL DARKNESS that envelops
"ussiain. Poland is relieved only by the lurid
"gleams of anarchy in. activity. In attempting
te) maintain order and Overawe the discontented working
people the soldiers commit murders by the wholesale,
and in '.retaliation the popfilace. mostly .uneducated and
morer less "superstitious working people," find mean
to slaughter the soldiers in turn, and thus the warfare,
terrible, unreasonable, and apparently vain and hopeless,
goes on,, with -no victory or.glqry-or definite accom
plishment of any good, purpose on either side.
. Ul course such occurrences, which seem to have
become chrpnicjn Polish Russia, cannot be wholly in
vain. There must be sults, some time, and it is safe
to assume that the ultimate results will be good ones,
but they eem a long way off, entirely hidden from view
indeed; as yet. There must be government and . due
observance of laws, and there is no government in that
land except the one at St. .Petersburg: of which the
czar is at -the head, at least nominally, but surely no
government can long maintain ' itself, or deserves to
do so, that ispbliged to resort repeatedly and continually
to such . mrtrde rotamethtTrhrtorestrain' its' working
subjects from -rising against it
Verily these be evil times for the czar 'and his ad
visers, satellites or rulers, as the case may be. He. seems
disposed to grant reforms buffike .'Pharaoh repents nd
brings worse evils upon. himself. 'And to grant reforms
clamored, for is-indeea Lno easy matter, if the royal
bouse and the. government are to stand af -aflr fpr if
the people are given inches will they not, take 'ells?
It is to be doubted if most of, them are fit to become' a
self-governing people, yet it is even, clearer, that'the
ruling powers are unfit to govern the people. . . V
Out. of this luridly chaotic and cataclystnatic condi
tion a different and a better government and system

THE TAXATION OF PROPERTY.
.; SPELLS OF THE SIMPLE LIFE.
r a i IfpRE IS a good suggestion and hint in the pur
'1.. I . chase for occasional occupancy of little,' cheap
- v unpretentious country home in the Virginia hills
- by the president- Though not a rich man, as rich men
. igo nowadays, he could nevertheless have procured or
V built for himself and. family ,ctstly and gorgeous man.
i sion. such-a (iom "of the, mulrimillionaita erect and
. "ocasionally occty wUh, great fefmues -.of servants, fn
the AdiroudacksjTn' North Carolina or elsewhere.
But the presidentvsriclina.1ions did not run in the direc-
HaV on assessments-and-taxation in bom-spirit
and letter ; believes in the taxation of franchises, pub
lic and privateof property in all fortnsjncluding news-I
paper property 'and franchises.-. . :
Since the suggestion in this connection, as well as a
doubt,-come from the Oregonian it might be well to
cite the fact thaf that newspaper property, including the
Telegram, is assessed aV $30,000, -while the fact of the
matter is, tr.two papers, including franchises and other
personal property leaving--out -of--the estimate all
real estate, are worth at least $600,000 and could bersold
for that sirrn for cash at any time. Here we have an
instance of evasion of the burden of taxation to the tune
rbi $570,OC of value, while the beneficiary of the neg
lect s yelling stop thief at other interests which may
or may not.be such heavy violators of the tax law. '"" '
Since a call has been made for a modification , of
the tax Jaw to, better cover the assessment and taxa
tion of property,-let It include all iurms. tangible and
1 intangible, so that no guilty man, woman or corporation

The scarciry of office roomsiall attention 1 to the
need and therefore the value as an investment of new
centrally located office buildings. : In other place such
building are put up in advance of a pressing need of
them, some1 reliance being placed upon the probable
growth of the city. But in Jortand triey go up in re
sponse' to a pressing and immediate demand that can no
longer be resisted. Nothing could better illustrate the
growth of Dtisincss and population than the manner in
which these buildings have been filled to overflowing io
the 'past few r-yeats notwithstanding the notable addi
tions .'that have been made to ihis class of structures.
We "have now reached a stage" when something should
immediately be done to relieve this pressure and givei
adequate accommodation to those who are flocking in
and demanding quarters adapted to their business uses.

Thla article certainly alvea a correct

have no political office from which to

but In k quiet residence district to which
many (travelers would be glad to go did
they know how to reach It. Accordingly
I applied for a license which should grant
to me the privilege of soliciting custom
uponth streets. ,1 wss shown th city
ordinance which regulates haekdriver
and solicitor of varloua kinds, and on
Concerning th obstruction of sidewalk.
Busplementary to theae, the license clerk
told m 1 wa entitled to go at liberty
upon the streets snd solicit at will
long' as f conducted myself In a" gentle
manly manner. d'd not hinder people or
oDsirvci tne nignway. .
But I now openty- accuae therarlty of
obtaining money under false - pretense.

by moat unreaaonable regulations, which.
practically raaknorteUlng lmpoaslhle. No
on at police headquarters, tn license

office wilt make a statement of th rule
or - la we governing eotlcltor.- but em
phatically assert that tha rule must be
obeyed.. Thus it appears that each police
Officer la a marketable law unto hlmaelf.

to be In ths bands of a few unscrupu
