sembly, or meeting the sllftclt that

insure an approximately correct val
uation .of property for taxation next

There are many reason why the
latter plan should be adopted. Ills
plqiost universally conceded that the
greatest Injustice is done houqrt and
conscicutous taxpayers in
nearly every county in the Slate un
der the present system of assessing
taxes. The taxes of sucji persons are
onerous, because a very large propor
tion of taxpayers give in their
property or hare it assessed "at
much less than its real value. Tiros
the corrupt and unscrupulous pay
less taxes than they sould pay, while
the better citizen* pay more than
iheir har< •
An iacntgte in the rata of taxation 1
under the present system of assess
ment only Increases Jhe burden oft
tlm honest tavpayers,
injustice. There is no reason why
toe General Assembly should not en
act an assessment law tbit will equa
lize taxation, and that.mm be put In
operation next spring. There is scarce
ly a doubt that such a law would in
sure such ait increase in the sutu re
tal of the returns of taxable property
that the deficit would be easily payad
after peying all the expense* of the
■State government and the interest on
llte public debt, without ?n increase
in the rate of taxation. It would kb
much bottey lor the State to pay the
interest on a temporary lona
lor aU r twelve month* than to un
justly ami unnecessarily burden ftt
best citizens. If an .Increase In tb*

after (fie new rq-eegmoqt law go**
Into effect, it win theft be equitably
borne by all the citizens of the Slate
and injustice will be dene to no one.

Fhe cattlemen of the Indian Ter
ritory are making oxtraerilnary ef
ftirta to get the President to rescind
the order requiring them to get put
of the Territory within forty to*.-
Already several delegation* have ar
rived at Washington to explain (he
•ilnatiou. They have talked ffift'i
Secretary Lamar and with the Presi
dent, but they haven’t succeeded in
getting the order either wfcinded or
modified. In fact. Secretary Lamar
•*y that the order will not lie erKfc
drawn, but that to re few days it will
be so enlarged to It* scope that it will
include all the cattlemen in the Indian
Territory.
Tbe administration will Ims unstain
ed in forcing the-e companies to get
off the Indian reservation*. They
knew when they tempted the Indians
to give up tbo comrol of their lands
for a small annual ten til that trouble
might occur at any time. They had
reason to think that, notwithstand
ing the tact that their lease* were
sanctioned bf the Interior Depart
ment, they had no legal right iu the
Territory.
ft seem* that much of the money
that it invested in the cattle business
in the Indian Territory was supplied
by New York parties, and that these
New Yorkers thought they bad in
fluence enough to retain their hold on
the* Territory even if there should be
trouble of a serious ebareeter.
They have found out that the class
of men who are at prevent in charge of
the government are gauarjing the
interests of the people rattier than
those of monopolists and speculator*.
The' cattle companies will have
some trouble in determining what to
do with their herds. Pasture lands
have suddenly become scarce and
valuable. The probabilities are that
these cattlemen will hare to go out of
business. They have put up thou
sands ol miles of wire fence In the
Territory. All of this fence will be
ordered cut down as soon at the forty
days' limit expires. The companies
which expected to make fortunes
quickly by utilizing the rich lands of
the Indians will find themselves very
much worse off than when they
began business. They canuot, how
ever, blame the government for their
misfortunes—Savannah News.
