TAXATION.
The movement in favor of the equal
taxation of railroad property is gaining
ground , Now Jersey is nbout to adopt a
law providing it , and an extra soasion of
the California legislature is busily con
sidering it. The situation in California
is remarkable and deserves more than a
passing notice. For throe or four years
the railroads have defied the laws and re
fused to pay the taxes assessed
against them. They openly announced
their intention of disregarding the stat
utes , and their position was sustained by
n decision of the United States circuit
court. Public indignation against the
insolence and triumphs of the railroads
has increased until the governor has been
compelled to call A special session of the
legislature to consider the matter. Un
der the pressure of the emergency , this
session is devising some legislation which
other states would do well to Imitate. The
same abuses , though in a less flagrant
way , exist elsewhere. In othorstatos the
railroads do not announce their intention
of defying the laws , but they manage to
exempt an enormous amount of property
from assessment nnd taxation. How to
prevent these great frauds upon the State
ia ono of the serious qnoitions of the day ,
There nro thr o principal points which
the Culifornians have thus far brought
forward in the laws which they have pre
pared. Those are the taxaiinn of railroad
bonds , the taxation of franchises and the
assessment of the entire property of the
road at its full value. Bills embodying
these points are now pending ,
All mortgages , bonds , deeds of trust
and other evidences of debt , except suoh
as may bo made by the United States or
the state of California are to bo assessed
as interests in the property which they
cover. Their amount is then to bo sub
tracted from such property when it shall
be assessed. When the property so
covered exists partly in and partly out of
the state , the board of equalization is to
ascertain the value of the whole , and fix
the assessment according to the proportion
tion which lies in the state. The fran
chises and the rest of the property of the
road are to bo assessed in much the same
way. Franchises ara to bo considered as
much the object of taxation as road bed
or rails. The value of the entire road ,
through its whole extent and including
franchise and other property , is to bo as
certained and the assessment fixed ac <
cording to the ratio lying within the
borders of the state.
The justice of these throe reforms ia
very clear. It is evident that a mortgage
is just as much a piece of property as n
homo and lot and should bo assessed in
thn same way. It makes no difference
whether a railroad mortgages its road-bed
through two or three state * , or a man
mortgages the house in which he
lives , The idea that the mort
gdgo on a railroad through astute
stuto should escape the taxation which
the owner of a house must pay is to the
lost.dogroo unjust. It is still more plain
i hat it is just and ought to tax afran-
chi'io. A light of way is just as much
proj , rorty as a road-bod. Often it maybe
bo a t/roat deal moro valuable. The rail
road Vuys the right 'of .way , just as it
buys rails and1 tiea. It is a delinito and
tangible > ( form of wealth and it should be
taxed like .other forms of wealth.
But the vnosb commendable of these
reforms is that which provides for assess
ing the entire ro d at its true value ) . Al
most every state .in the union has been
defrauded of immo.nse suing by not fol
lowing this just and. equitable bystoni.
It is evident that the value of the road
is not merely its track hero and its cars
there , but it is what the whole will
bring in the market. A good connection
with another road may bo n great deal
moro important factor in its real value
than the cars or locomotives. A good
management may increase or a
bad management may depress its value.
All the while , its value is what it will sell
for. This being true , it folluws that the
state is entitled to asauss it at its full
market value if it lies wholly within the
state. If not , it is entitled to Mscsa itt
ho ratio which the portion within the
ale bears to the whole valuo. This
rinciplo ucoms so oiey and cluur that nome
mo will deny it. Yut , as a matter of
'act ' , it has always bean customary for
iilroadu to bo utso&aud fit only from one
bird to one-half of their real value , and
lllions of dollars iun annually lost in
onscquonoo.
If thoao reforms can bo carried out in
California und New Jersey , they can and
.hoy mint bo in other states an well.
Discriminations in taxation must cease.
THE idea of appropriating 877,000,000
'or ' the usmtanco of schools in states
that ought ought to take care of their
wn schools , ut first duos not uoom to be
k-cry pleasing. These atatus lie chiefly
n thn south. The greatest populutioi
if illiteracy ia tlicro , AH the northern
ilnlcs huve built up thnir oxcnllen
lohool systems mainly without govern
uctit aid , a good many have though
that the southern states ought to bu ul
lowed to do the same. But , on the other
hand , it is pretty curtain that these status
will do nothing of the kind. They have
not made much progress in that direc
tion since the cloio of the war. It is no
likely that they will nuke much iu the
next quarter of a century. In the uicun
time , hun > lr ds of thousands of chilJiei
Are growing up there in utter ignomiioo
The cma requires BO mo extraordinary
and purhaps saine sacrifice. The intolli
ut pooulo of the country ough
in bo willing iu make both fo

it is ouo which the country can atlbrd ti
give. The surplus revenues which an

cannot bu allowed to Ho in the vaults
nd they cannot bo directly given back
to the people. They had very much bet-

d in the wild schemes of useless oxpon-
ituro which congress is too ready to do-
iso.

A great deal of the objection raised to
bo bill in its passage through the senate
was of a very antiquated kind , A good
lany senators , mostly of the class who
mvo not conceived a now idea for twenty
'oars ' , raised the poi-.t that it was uncon-
titutional to appropriate national rove-
ucs for the benefit of a stato. It is just
little too late to raise that objection.
iftor the government has appropriated
millions of asros of national lands for the
) uofit of railroad companies in different
talcs , the giving of money for education
corns a very slight matter. Public
chools are certainly as important as
giant corporations.
A 1'XCULIATl SYtfDWATK.
Wo have just received several copies of

This is a rather novel partnership , but
wo apprehend that it will not draw pa-
ronngo to either of the partners in the
luplox movement. No reputable news-
> .ipcr would allow any firm of produce
lealors to monopolize its commercial col
umns , and no firm that has correct ideas
of its relations to its patrons would , for
ho sakoof savingapaltry sumforprinting ,
consent to act as a stool-pigeon for a
roadorloss newspaper. THE BEE has
imo and again rejected propositions to
irostltuto its commercial columns for the
solo benefit of some particular commis
sion house , wholesale dealer or banker ,
who was willing to pay for such exclus-
vcncss. Our aim has and always will bo
o publish reliable market reports , pro
cured from various dealers and carefully
revised by our paid staff. The imposi
tion in which Meaari. Millard &
? eck have become principals is
strikingly illustrated by the com
mercial column of the Republican.
Phat column informs the patrons of the
Jtrpubliccm that all the quotations are
corrected daily by Messrs. Millard &
Pock. Now , this firm of commission
merchants deal principally in fruits and
> rr visions , but they quote live stock ,
.ay , potash , drugs , hides , tallow , heavy
lardwore , lumber , liquor , paints , and
other articles which they know nothing
about. It is all right , however , as long
as the now syndicate may find it profita-
> lo. It eaves the Republican much
abor and expense and may bo the means
of adding five or six subscribers to
heir list. It caves Millard & Peck
ho expense for printing circular market
oports , and the cost of mailing , and
> oesibly will give this great commission
louse the usual commission as agents in
> rocuring subscriptions for the Itepub-
lean. The country merchants who do
not want to pay money for the monopoly
mpor will find the > commorrjal reports of
'UK BEE fully as relinblo and certainly
ess partial than those furnished by the
hrifty commission bouse.

T.m house of representatives has an
ther perfectly plain case of a forfeited
and grant to deal with in the affair of
tie Oregon Central. This road received
grant of 1,130,880 acres , on condition
list it should build a line from Portland
o Astoria , and from Forest Grove to the
Yamhill river , in all a distance of 144
miles. The company constructed a road
5 miles from Portland , and built n few
moro miles on the Ynmhill division and
hen loft it. Soon after the Oregon
Jonlral was swallowed up by the Oregon
California , and finally fell into the
ossossion of the Transcontinental corn-
any by whom it is now operated. Of
ourso the grant to the original company
s forfeited and should bo so declared ,
ml these lands may bo open for settle
ment. The house , however , shows a dis-
osition to go at the forfeiture very gin-
crly.
SOME demagogue in the Now York
cgislaturo is trying to got an amend
ment tacked to the civil service bill , al-
owing soldiers and sailors in the late
war to bo appointed to positions without
ny examination. This is giving us too
much of a good thing. The soldier is
ntitlcd to great consideration in many
ways , but ho has no claim to and does
ot want exemption from the rule that
nforcos competency. If silly sentimentalism -
montalism like this continues to bo dii-
layod , there will bo a reaction that will
o the soldier moro harm than ariy num-
) cr of such laws can do him good.
