State Tax Levy From the estimates made by individual members of the state board of equalization it seems probable that there will be an increase in the state tax levy this year of about 2½ cents. The total valuations of property in the state on account of the San Francisco fire will probably show a decrease of perhaps $75,000,000. Last year the levy was 49 cents, and an increase of 2½ cents would make it this year 51½ cents. It is rumored that the assessments of the railroads will be increased, and that this will make the levy even less than 51½ cents. Twenty-eight out of the fifty-seven counties in the state show a gain in assessments of $19,077,000. These are: Amador $40,000, Alpine $25,000, El Dorado $96,000, Fresno $2,178,000, Humboldt $616,000, Kings $288,000, Lake $220,000, Marin $506,000, Mendocino $213,000, Monterey $352,000, Napa $648,000, Nevada $112,000, Orange $1,744,000, Plumas $42,000, Riverside $1,422,000, Sacramento $1,-513,000, San Benito $237,000, San Bernardino $637,000, San Joaquin $2,682,000. and consists of Gov. Parrottors Curtis and Ward, Assessor McCartney and Treadwell, C. Phlehn, expert on tax public finance, as secretary. There are seventy-one paid pamphlets, and it discusses necessity for a new system and explains the method by the commission. Theary report is made in order criticism for the guidance committee. Some of the more importantings of the commission follow. "In general; the present taxation does not meet the upon it. It is antiquated been adopted fifty years ago not been revised to keep pa modern conditions. "It is full of inequalities w poses a handicap on the g the state, a handicap which vigor and inexhaustible e our people can carry.

Twenty-two counties have not yet reported. Including the estimated report of Los Angeles the increase shown by the counties outside of San Francisco is $66,665,000, which will make the roll $63,577,000 less than last year. Individual members of the state board believe that further reports will decrease the deficiency to $75,000,000. In that event the rate will probably not exceed 51 cents. Reforming the Tax System "Our present system of taxation is a school for perjury, puts a penalty on honesty and pays high premiums for dishonesty." This assertion is made by the state commission on revenue and taxation in its report, which was made public this week. This commission was appointed by the legislature of 1905, "It is full of inequalities we poses a handicap on the gage the state, a handicap which vigor and inexhaustible e our people can carry. "The taxes paid by farmers ifornia are equivalent to an tax of ten per cent. This is trast to many other industries example,the taxes paid by facturers which amount o per cent. on income. The engaged in agriculture with erage income of about $500 per capita per annum in take persons engaged in manufactur with an average annual inc $870,pays $17.50 per capita num. "Our chief tax, called a property tax has in fact be real estate tax. Only from cent. to 18 per cent. of the taxes are levied on personalerty. "The amount of personal pay on the tax rolls today is larger than in was in 1872. "Money and credits escapation almost entirely. Our regard to the taxation of this of property are full of absurd and utterly unenforceable. I wise to retain these provisions state books. "National banks pay no t all except on real estate. State mercial banks to live at all of this competition are for evade taxation whenever p Savings banks are the only class of banks which pay their full quota of taxes." The remedy proposed by the commission is the separation of state from local taxation. It establishes at once home rule in matters of local taxation. It abolishes at once any necessity for equalization between counties and proposes to cure the evils which state equalization fails to reach. Trees by the Million On the day when Hon. T. P. Lukens, former acting forest supervisor, and bride were held up and robbed of $20 by highwaymen in the Yosemite valley, he received notice of his promotion to the position of general inspector of government nurseries in California, says the Redlands Facts. At the same time Rouston Charlton, formerly special inspector of forest service for the agricultural department, was appointed as supervisor of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino forest reserves to succeed Mr. Lukens. A few days later G. B. Lull, formerly inspector of forest extension, was appointed as State forester by Gov. Pardee, and G. W. Peaby, who was the manager at Henniger flats, was appointed to take Lull's position as forest inspector. Since that time E. T. Allen, who was formerly inspector of forest extension in Washington and Oregon, has been appointed to a government position in Washington and will probably take up his new position within the next few weeks. Just when Mr. Lukens will take his new position is not definitely known, but it is said when his leave of ab- Since that time E. T. Allen, who was formerly inspector of forest extension in Washington and Oregon, has been appointed to a government position in Washington and will probably take up his new position within the next few weeks. Just when Mr. Lukens will take his new position is not definitely known, but it is said when his leave of absence expires in six weeks he will begin the supervision of government nurseries throughout the State and millions of cedar and pine trees will be planted in the northern part of the State, and the nurseries at Henniger flats and near Seven Oaks will be enlarged. For years Mr. Lukens has made reforestation a study, and in his new position he will have the opportunity to put into operation ideas which he has regarding the reforesting of burnt tracts of land. Ruston Charlton, who is the new forest supervisor, has been connected with the interior and agricultural department for several years and did the detective work which showed the illegal operations of Everett B. Thomas, formerly the local forest supervisor, but now a hand in the laundry at San Quentin penitentiary. As chief ranger in the San Gabriel reserve B. H. Crow has been appointed and for the San Bernardino reserve Nelson Torsten is now acting as the inspector of the rangers. Three weeks ago the number of rangers in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino reserves was diminished from fifty to thirty-five, many of the men who were appointed as forest guards without any civil examination, were released, and some of those who had taken the examination in San Bernardino two months ago were released. The outcome of the examination has not been given out, but it is said several of the men who took them have passed with creditable marks, and these will probably supersede men who are now on the reserve and who have never taken any civil service examinations. In speaking of the men who have been temporarily discharged from the service, Supervisor Charlton said: "The men were taken off chiefly because the appropriations for California were more or less inadequate, and the fact that they were taken away all of inequalities which imhandicap on the growth of a handicap which only the inexhaustible energy of we can carry. taxes paid by farmers in Caline equivalent to an income per cent. This is in conany other industries—for the taxes paid by manuwhich amount only to 2 on income. The persons in agriculture, with an avage of about $500, pay $50 per annum in takes. The engaged in manufacturing, average annual income of $17.50 per capita per andef tax, called a general tax, has, in fact, become a tax. Only from 15 per per cent. of the entire levied on personal propount of personal property tax rolls today is hardly in was in 1872. and credits escape taxatent entirely. Our laws in the taxation of this class are full of absurdities unenforceable. It unin these provisions on the banks pay no taxes at own real estate. State comkks, to live at all, in face competition, are forced to union whenever possible. eral of the men who took them have passed with creditable marks, and these will probably supersede men who are now on the reserve and who have never taken any civil service examinations. In speaking of the men who have been temporarily discharged from the service, Supervisor Charlton said: "The men were taken off chiefly because the appropriations for California were more or less inadequate, and the fact that these areas in Northern California, where men are needed more than here, demanded that it should be equalized. "Men were taken off here that others might take their places in northern California where they must have larger forces." Most all of the rangers and forest guards have been appointed as deputy game wardens, and violations of the game laws will be few, it is thought, in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino reserve. The regulation which was in force last year in regard to permits to carry a rifle in the reserve has been done away with this season and no permit is necessary for hunters going into the range. Reports from several of the ranges show that the deer are to be found in the local ranges more plentiful this year than last, and many hunters who expected to hunt in Ventura county have decided to take their outing nearer to home.
