II seems 1 1 1 m I Hi?' lax commission ? rented under an net of the last ses sion of the legislature to- work out a plan for a just and equitable assess ment of property for taxation . has started at the wrong eml of the line. Instead of inquiring into the returns ot' property that have long heen ack nowledged to he far helow what they should have been placed at. tiie coin mission has devoted its most serious attention to the jteople who are al ready paying more than their just pro portion of the taxes. Instead of seek ing t<? equalize, the effort seems to he to make the difference in returns only the greater and to lay on heavier and heavier where the burden should be lightened. This course Instead of mak ing matters better is making them worse and will tend to grave compli cations. We do not blame the banks and other eorporatlons for seeking mlross and declaring that if necessary they will so into the courts. This should r.ot be required of them and we hope that the commission will see its mis take and change its course. Let it heirin at the right end of the line and ei-rrect where correction is most need ed < 'orporations should be treated with just as much equity as individ ual^ They are not all soulless as a great many think them to be. And even If they were that would be no excuse for treating them unjustly. ? Greenwood Journal. Let's help to make this old world a more cheerful place. PERSONAL MENTION.
