Ncw, It seems to me that justice
to the people of this state, who for
the most part pay taxes on their pro-
perties and privileges at a fair rate
of valuation, demands a more equit.
able system of oyster bed, taxation.
The legislative shell fisheries com-
mittee unanimously thought.” after
months'of patient study. and asked for
310.000 for the purpose. The appro-
priations committee Indorsed their
view. But on Friday lest In the sen-
ate, when only nineteen members were
present. the forces opposed to a thor
ough Investigation sprung a “Irwin.
and succeeded In cutting down the ap
pristion to 83.000 and turning the mat-
ter over to the board of equalization.
The thing cannot be done, for that
(In the way It ought to be done). with
salaries for those who do the work.
and they know It, end therein lies
their "strategy"—to make the pay so
low that no one will be able to devote
much time to It. and so hamper the In-
vestigators that the work will not no
ceesarlly be very thorough.
My own ides Is that a proper aye
tern of taxation would he a fist rate
on acreage. to prevent speculative
holding (Mr. Rowe holds hundreds of
acres, at.” an acre per year that be
decent cultivate). and a percentage
the on gre- product. so that growers
shall pay according to the wealth they
take from the land. it Is Impossible
to fix any arbitrary revenue tax per
acre, because no two acres. not even
those adjoining, are the same in pro-
ductive value.
But however fair such a system
might seem at first thought. It ought
not to be adopted without full and
careful study. All of the varied inter-
ests Involved ought to be heard. and
the systems In other states should he
studied, which will take time. And

his views. cannot be suspected of hav-

If those opponents of the measure

involved are likely to see that they

COMMISSION LIKELY.
Dispoeltlen of Shell-Fish Matter fle-
ecoeldered by the Senate.
HARTFORD, July 21.-—The Inves-
tigation of the oyster industry by the
state board of equalization Is not so
certain as some thought it after the
senate passed the amended bill last
Friday. It looks more and more as
though the special commission propos-
ed by the committee on shell. fish-
eries, would finally win out. The idea
of Investigatingand fixing assessments
without examining the character of
the bottom, doesn't appeal to prac-
tical men and most of them think
tbc810,000 contemplated In the spe-
cial commission bill, will be none too
much, If sumclent.
Commldeicn Probable
Yesterday the action pt,l"ridey in
turning this matter over to the board
of eouelisatlon was reconsidered and
tabled. Probably when It In
comes up there will be even stronger
opposition than was displayed yester-
day to the matter going to the board
of equsilsation. and the result will he
the authorisation of the special com-
mission. Chairman Brinsmado. of tho
shellfish committee. Senator Reed and
others favored reconsideration, and
