TMKNNIAIi ASSESSMENT.
Uiiscalnl Iianih Taxation.
The recurrence of n Triennial Assessment
scemfl to bo a proper tlnio to call the atten
tion of assessors and other public otllcers, to
some provMom and requirements oT tho
Acts ot Assembly upon the subject of taxa
lion j compliance with which will very ma
terially add to the romfiirt, convenience and
correctness of tho performance of the public
business. Great irregularities exist every
where In this branch of tho public service,
and the Courts have been obliged lo relax
tho sttlct rules of law and somewhat of evi
dence, to prevent still greater injustice.
Much of this necessity Is doubtless owing
tu tho constant rotation out of ollice, which
obtains lu this country as a part nf Its politi
cal system. A man entering upon even lite
the lowct duties of public life, is not allowed
to becoino thoroughly acquainted witli them
and able to perform them satisfactorily and
Intelligently, before sjmo other patriot
pushes him uslde, and by the will of the
sovereign people, assumes tlicm. Thus the
largest part of tliu public business of the
country remains In unskilful and Incompe
tent hands, not on account of any natural
Inaptitude, but, became, no man Is allowed
to remain long enough In ollice to make
himself thoroughly acquainted with tho
routine of his duties, much less with tho
oxatt details. And that dllllculty runs
through tho whole clrclu ol political pre
ferment, from the lowest township ollice, to
tho higli dignity of a Senator of the United
States.
Among tho many, apparently minor, but
really very important duties which citizens
uro called upon to perform, that of Assessor
of lands and goods for public taxation, is
oiio of the most delicato mid diliicult ; and
requires a degree of common senso and
sound judgment which are not often brought
to its exercise. It can easily be seen that
the valuation, assessment, adjustment and
equalisation of property for taxation, re
quires time, thought, experience, and u very
thorough knowledge of what goes to mako
value. Perhaps our wholo system of taxa
tion is vicious, but we should endeavor to
get out of it tho best of which it Is capable.
u early times, lands were the chief sources
of such revenue. Bonds, stocks, mortgages,
money at Interest, were scarcely known to
the assessing ofllccr. Hut now the personalty,
f it could bo fairly and honestly reached,
would and ought to bear a very much larger
proportion of the public burdens, than tho
rehlty. And tho timo is coming when a
thorough revision of tho system will shift
the weight to a dillerent species of property.
Lauds, however, seated and unseated, as
soon as tho Commonwealth had parted with
her title, became and were made liable to
taxation, and salo for the uon payment of
tho taxes. The first Act making them ub-
ect to a sale for county taxes is that of Apr.
11, 179'J, Sec. 253 Smith Laws 401. Then
came the Acts of April 3, 1S01 April 4,
ISO!), March 13, 1815 March 29.1821 and
April 15, 1831 also 29 April, 1311, &c.
lly the Act of April 0, 1802, Sec. 7, 4
mitb Laws 515, they were made liablo to
salo for non-payment of road taxes ; anil if
the taxes were not paid to the supervisors,
the lauds so assessed as unseated, were to be
returned to the County Commissioners, and
by them to the County Treasurer for col-
ection by sale. The return of the unpaid
taxes must be made, now, before the first
ay of Febuary in each year, and the sale
is to be on the second Monday of June of
every second year.
By an Act of 9 March 1771 the clear yearly
value uf all estates, (which seems to exclude
unseated lands, as having no clear yearly
value) were assessible Jor tho support and
maintenance of tho poor but by tho Act of
15 April 1834, and perhaps earlier.thcy were
also included in tho list of taxable property,
and by Act of 30 January 18G2, P. L. page
i, they were made subject to sale, iu Colum
bia county, for tho poor taxes. And the re
turns of the unpaid poor taxes should also
bo made before Febuary first, iu each
year. . .
By the Act of May 8, 1851, I L. C17, for
the regulation and continuance of a system
of education by common schools, unseated
lands were subjected to taxation and sale fur
non-payments of the school taxes, as they
were for County taxes.
Thus, seated and unseated lands are taxa
ble, and are subject to a sale by tho County
Treasurer for non-payment, of assessment
for County, Hoad, Poor, and School taxes.
The assessment and valuation for County
taxes controls and regulates the township
and school district assessment, as to the value
of the property, but nut as to the rate per
cent.
Now, as the subject of taxation, the Act
of Ai-sembly of 29 April 1814, P. L. 497,
says : "All real estate.to wit : houses, lauds,
lota of ground and ground rents, mills and
manufactories of all kinds, furnaces, forges,
bloomeries, distilleries, sugar-houses, malt
houses, breweries, tan yaids, fisheries and
ferries, wharves.and all other real estate nut
exempt by law from taxation :'' Under
which clause, "all other real estate," the
courts havo properly included all kinds of
machinery and improvements which havo
yet beeu put on, or under any lands or
grounds; such as coal breakers, steam-pump
ing apparatus, planing mills Ac. itc.j and
tho proper method is, to assess and value
all this machinery and improvement with
the land, and tax it to the owner of the laud.
And this is iu accordance with the oath of
the assessors "That you will justly and
honestly, to the best of your judgnieut,nssess
and valuu every separato lot, piece or tract
ot land, with the tuijirovemenh thercun ."
Making no separate valuation of improve
ments, machinery or other erections In or
upon the lauds, but leaving all such ques
tions to bo adjusted by the parties who may
think themselves interested. This is a point
to be particularly insisted on and attended
to. It will simplify business, save trouble,
ami be practically and legally correct and
proper.
It is to bo observed however, that this rule
does not prevent separate assessments of
separate interests in laud. As, if oho man
owns the surface, and another the developed
iron ore, or stone coal, or limestone under it;
there, tho owner of the boil is taxed with It,
and the owner of the ore, coal or limestone.
opeued and accessible, is taxed with such
article. And it would seem under the law,
thatauy machinery, erection or Improvement
put in, upon or under the surface, for mlii
ing purposes, should be assessed with such
ore, coal or limestone, to the owner of the
respective commodities. See 3 Pa. ltep. 107;
1 P. S. II. 331 i 29 P. S. It. 373 j 70 P. S. It
381.
The proper processof va1ulng,asHess!ng and
returning uuseated lauds should have siie
clul attention, because the owners are mostly
non-resideuts.utid look after their taxes only
oncu in two years. Much assessment that is
opeu to objection, Is made upon such prop
erty. There seems tu be nu good reason
why undeveloped and unproductive mineral
lauds should bo rated and assessed at a rule
much ntiovu the surface value. That que.
Uuu however doe nut enter Into the present
inquiry,
Unseated Uads were, by tho act of 1604,
required to "be returned to the Ooiomhuloti-
crs by tho surveyors, nnd this list of uncal-
cd lauds was In "Include a list of tho num
ber of acres contained in each survey or
warrant, and of the names nnd surnames of
iho original warrantees, iho waters on nbich
Iho same is situate, tho land contiguous
thereto, ami of Iho township, If known,
wherein tho fame may lie." And tlm list
was to be kept by the Commissioners In a
bunk piovided fur the purpose. If these
lilllu details were attended to, the history of
a trad of land ooiilifbo traced with certainty
through all changes of ownership and valua
tion nnd arrangement of township lines.
Tho acres, tho warrantee, tho waters would
always be tho same; the township, the
owner, and tho niljoiners, If the lands be
came seated, might change.
Under tiie Act of lS3l,tho Commissioners,
precept to tho assessors which In each
triennial year shall go Into their bauds
"within six weeks alter tho general election;"
requires them to "return n perfect list of the
names uf nit taxables, and of the taxiblo
property, together with a just valuation cf
tho same." In this list the triennial as
sessor.! should Include unsealed as well as
seated lands notwithstanding tho Act of 1S01
as to tiio duties of surveyors, and tills re
turn of the assessors to tho Commissioners,
if made according to law, it the tuieuuicut.
lly tho Act of 1S12, organizing a Board of
ItevUiou, the commissioners meet, consult,
examine and raiso or rcduco the price or
value of the properties, so as lo equall.o the
whole. This being done after publication
nnd duo notice, ami everything being cor
rected, adjusted ami equalized as required,
the commissioners then fix the rate per cent
on the adjusted valuation ; the clerk makes
transcripts of tho assessments, with tho rate
per cent, and tho day of appeal fixed, and
transmits them to the assessors on or before
tho second Monday of April following. The
assessor call on the taxable, give him tho
valuation, rate per cent, and dny of appeal,
and that cuds that part of the business.
This appeal, held by tho commissioners,
alter public notice of the time and place, is
from the valuation uf the Triennial As
sessment; and when heard and decided, fixes
tho valuation for that and the two following
years except iu one or two specified cases.
Willi the first 10 sections of tho Act of 1831,
all reference to tho triennial assessment and
proceedings relating to it, cuds. Tho balance
of it relates to tho annual assessment for the
two years following tho triennial assessment,
and to township rates and levies, which are
not within tho present examination, except
incidentally.
Tho duplicate for County and State taxes
is madu out mi the basis of this valuation,
as corrected alter appeal to the commission
ers as stated. And this corrected valuation
and assessment is sent tu the assessors before
tho second Monday of April of the year suc
ceeding tho triennial assessment for tho as
sessment of the taxes for tho current year,
und not, within six weeks of the general
election, iu each year,as is practised iu some
counties. That rule is lur tho Triennial year
uluuo, For, say tho Supremo Court in.
Greuough vs Fulton Coal Co. 74 P. S. 11.
480 "The triennial assessment is the basis
ol subsequent annual assessments und tho
valuation will remain unless changed by
alterations iu tho property" such as new
erections, or the distructlou of old ones.
The township rates and levies for poor,
road, and school taxes aro made on this
same valuation, the rate per cent being ac
cordiug to their several necessities, except as
limited by law. The tax on unseated land
is a part und parcel of it; and though, as
was said in Lycoming Co. vs lluling, cited
iu Potter Co. vs Oswayo, 11 Wright 102,
"the supervisors are charged with tho duty
of expending tho money, they have no power
to collect it. It is payable by the owners in
to the County treasury . let, il
voluntarily paid tu the supervisors, over
sers or school tax collector, it may be re
ceived and receipted lor, it seems mwrc in
consonance with tho general system to re
turn all the taxes on unseated lauds to the
County Commissioners, and havo thcni col
lected by the Treasurer. And that, because
there is no other way of enforcing payment
of them : and because also it is more con
venient to laud owners to pay all tho un
seated laud taxes at once,at the County seat
when they come to discharge tho county
taxes on the same, though it seems the own
ers may work out the ruad taxes on uuseated
lands if they desire to do so.
These suggestions in regard to the mode,
manner and regular proceduro of making,
returning and adjusting tho Triennial As
sessmeut, are submitted iu the hope that
they may assist those upon whom tho duty
devolves, in performing it witli more case to
themselves, and more satisfaction to the
public.

Till! POLITICAL SITUATION.
On tho evening of Juno 2nd, nt a ro-ttn-
Ion nf tho Delta Psl Fraternity n brother
hood composed uf graduates nnd undergrad
uates of tho various colleges throughout tho
country an oration was delivered by lion.
Stowart L. Woodford, of Now York, which
so faithfully describes the present condition
f politics that wo give below nn extract
from It. Tho speaker Is a prominent public
man lu his state, and knows what he talks
about. Iu addressing the members of the
Fraternity ho said :
You. as educated vomit! men. are amoiir
those who mould the opinion niidshiiiio the
activities of your fellows in the several com
munities where you live mid labor. Let mn
leak with you Ircoly. Take no offence. I
mil talk of politics, tint the politics of par-
lizanshlp, but such politics as ihoCcuteiinlal
time forces alike upon our brains ami hearts.
It has become quite the fashion among edu
cated men, and even more among successful
oiisitirss men. to tako little personal interest
in public alliilrs. Very many of our colleco
graduates, nnd of our leading traders, mer
chants, manufacturers and hankers, allcct a
sort of Duudrcaryisb liHlillerence to our pol
itics. When one of our number given any
personal, practical heed to tho dulies of our
jltlzenslilp, they may notnlways openly con
lcmti his waste of timo or sneer at liis en-
thu-dasm, but they tako little pains to con
ceal their surprise at his want of taMe, or
still worse, want of wit lu giving to State nu
hour that might have been given more pleas
antly to society or more profitably to trade.
In many Instances this ilidiU'erenco must bo
affected rather than benrty and thorough,
because the careful student of the past can
not bo entirely careless of tho present, and
tho intelligent financier must at least esti
mato the political forces within which his
irivalo enterprises nro neing uiged.
This fashion of indlil'erencc. whether sin-
cero or nlfectcd, has some nrtural causes.
Tho excitement of a great popular debato
over questions that lay at the very root.of
our social system quickened every interest,
and lu sonio degreo touched almost every
icrson iu our hind during tno years preccd-
ng 1801. I'licn followed the war, with its
ulcanic outbun.ts of entliusiani. its patience
of long endurance, its heroism of achieve
ment, and its ten idle sacrifices. Then camo
long and exhaustive debate over tho ad-
iistment and settlement of the terms of re
turning peace.
thus lor many years our politics, in ono
form or another, appealed to the interest,
quickened tho conscience, and occupied tho
best thought of almost our entire people.
Such long excitement naturally caused
weariness. Men turned from politics und
arms, asking for rest and peace.
Dunne this lonir strinrclo vcrv many bad
aud designing men had by shrewd appeals
to tne prevailing sentiment ol their locali
ties1, and by various adroit methods so
possessed themselves of tho mechanism of
their respective political parties as iu many
instances to wield larce local influences anil
exercise large local control. That corruption
which seems ns incident to nil 'national life
as disease is to nil individual life, had fas-
tened.itself upon both the great political par
tics. This tendency to evil, by the way, is
In no measure confined to politics. There
are defaulters lu banks ami trust companies
as well as iu tho public treasury. Lies aro
told over tho counter and in tho drawing
room as frequently as at tho caucus aud iu
the convention Human nature, when op
portunity is afibrded, has an old-fashioned
way of showing its bad side ns well as its
best Theru wero probably canker spots on
the apple in F.den. There was surely a lib
on the sweet lips of I've, and cowardly tale
bearing in the manly heart of Adam. ' Kven
where John loved so devotedly and Peter
ipake so resuluteiy,tliL-ie was .Indus with Ins
iiiiurry bag and his ready kiss. But the ex-
istence'of evil is neither ju-tification nor ex
cuse for evil doing. Corruption is in our
politics, and the slime of the serpent is iu
the primary caucus and iu legislative balls.
this corruption has disheartened a lew good
citizen-'. It has ois-mstcd mora esthetic
and refined ones. It has been availed of as
an excuse by very many busy or careless
men for their taking little personal interest
u ;Ublic allairs, aud being indillcreut to our
loiitics.
There is still another cause which tn.dav
argely produces, and stimulates this iudil-
fennce. The pecuniary icwards of public
lifo nro very meairre. II vou except the
chief customs officer at some five or six of
mr principal ports ol of cutrv. and a few
local officials in our largest cities, there aro
none of our higher place holders who aro
paid salaries in any degreo approaching
what tho ability required forjiist discharge
of such duties can readily earn iu private
life. Take, for example, the iudires throuih-
out tho country, excepting iu New York,
and possibly iu ouo or two other States. Al
most every lawyer fit to be iudio can earn
so much more money in tho ordiniry iirac
