Herman Knisely, chief of the State Bureau of Municipalities, read i a paper at the last meeting of the J League of Cities of the Third Class on the question of assessment meth ods, which has attracted much at tention. The following extracts are from Mr. Knisley's paper: "The assessing official needs a few simple tools, a few simple rules, dili gence and common sense "Some of those present may think I should add, that he needs an ample stock of patience to meet the crit icism which the public visits on the' best-intentioned of assessors. But if the public can be shown that the assessor has a uniform method which is applied to all in similar situations, much of the criticism will disappear. Publicity and system arc great aids to thp administration of tax taws. "The first necessity for an. accu rate and equitable assessment is tax maps. This cannot be too strongly emphasized. The assessor should have: "First. A map showing streets and roads, and the dimensions and boundaries of each separately own ed parcel of property. The scale of these maps differ in the various cities, the scale being a matter of convenience. It however must be large enough to show plainly the shapes and dimensions of lots. These maps are usually built up from deeds used in connection with plans and surveys. "Second. An accurate list of the owners of all the lots shown on the maps and these owners being num bered to correspond with the lot' number on the map. "Necessarily a corner lot is worth more than a lot in. the middle of a block and therefore a rule has to be established for calculating the value of the lot. "It may be said "that the cobner lot should take the value of a.lot in the middle of a block plus about one fourth of the value of the land on each street. In residence sections the first lot is taken as a corner .in fluence lot and in the business sec tion of the city the distance is forty feet. Loss of Revenues "A building is never worth more than the difference between what the land would sell for if the build ing were destroyed, and what the plot will sell for with the building on it. If this fact Is remembered, many inequalities in assessment will disappear. "Many communities suffer a se rious loss of revenues from the un der valuation of vacant lots and badly improved properties. The plea is often made that unimproved property should not be assessed on the same basis as improved property because It is not ready for use. The argument is .fallacious. A prospec tive purchaser will calculate how long he will have to hold such land until it is ready for Improvement, and the market price will be lower by the probable taxes and interest for such a'period than if the prop erty was fully ripe for development. As the taxes are allowed for in the market value, there is no reason why this value should not be taken as a standard of assessment. In many cases, however, the plea that the property Is not ready for develop ment is not made in good faith; the lots would not remain vacant if the owners would accept a price that builders' could afford to pay and such a price is usually all the lots are worth at the time. "To allow such vacant property to escape with a low valuation until the owners obtain their price and mean while to maintain at the expense of improved property, the streets, lights and other services that add to the value of the lots, puts an unfair burden upon those who build up a community. "Probably all cities have a district of which it is-said that the town would be better off if such old build ings were burned down. Yet the owners of these eyesores are often favored by under-assessment of their land, because the assessor thinks of the property as being 'poor,' and, as they obtain some income from the buildings, they can stand out for a high price even better than the owner of a vacant property, while the old buildings actually hurt the development of the, city. In such cases the land should be valued at its true worth, which is what it would earn if properly improved, so that the owners will be induced to put the land to its best use. "The actual value of real property is a sum for which It will sell under ordinary circumstances and the best evidence of such value is the record of such sales under ordinary condi tions. AVe can see no good reason why the true consideration in every deed should not be given before such deed is entitled to be recorded and the law should be amended to re quire such information. "It is coming to be recognized universally that the ussessor should be required to give his entire time to the work and to be paid an an nual salary sufficient to induce com petent men to accept the office. "In a recent survey made by the bureau of municipalities in twenty five third class cities of Pennsylva nia, it was found that fifteen used maps in making their assessments and that ten did not.""

The report, it Is said, will recommend the adoption of the program of the International Workers' Defense League for the liberation of Thomas J. Jlooney and Warren Hillings. The extreme radicals had control of the sessions yesterday. James H. Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor and vice chairman of the conven tion, expressed the radical view when he said: "There are some things for this convention to do that is more im portant than the Mooney case. While President Wilson is at the peace conference to free the poor slaves of Europe he will not forget to do something to free the poor wage slaves at home. Wo are going to Stan - here and finish this Job if it takes all year. If you are a good revolutionist you will not do any thing to obstruct this new radical movement. The day has passed when officials can railroad a man to the gallows because of his opin ions." Radicals Plan Ruin of Federation of Labor Chicago, Jan. 17. Alarmed by the attitude of the radical element, many delegates to the national labor con gress here have wired their home or ganizations to withhold further con tributions to the Mooney fund and await developments. It is now clear that the radical element is using the Mooney case to advance fhe cause of Bolshevism and destroy the American Federation of Labor. The plan of the radicals, it appears, is to have a committee of five appoint ed to co-operate with the Interna tional Defense League in the move ment to liberate Mooney and others and to carry on a campaign of edu-1 cation in the ranks of the American Federation of Labor, with a view to merging the hundreds of existing la bor bodies into twelve gigantic, in ternational unions. Alarmed by this alleged plan of the radicals to capture the convention and use the Mooney case to destroy the American Federation of Labor, many conservative delegates to-day JANUARY 17, 1919. got in touch with their organizations. The plan ot the conservatives is said to be to take action on the Mooney case and force an adjourn ment without the consideration of any other business. IP YOU HAD A NECK LONO AS this fellow.
