HOOPER, MAYOR.
A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber
day t the Guildhall of the City of i.oledu.:, , tine .1;y,
01 February, 1848.
Resolved unanimously,—
That this Court have observed with surmise and dismay that her
Majesty's
Ministers have made a proXsltion to renew the income-
tax‘ for a period of five years, and to it.erease the said tax tor a period
Snot less than two 3 ears, from sevenpenee to one shilling ill the
P°.and ; that a tax on income is unjust in principle, and was sub-
mitted to in the first instance on th, distinct understanding that it
as for a temporary purpose, and for a limited period only; that it
unjust to levy the same amount of tax on precarion, and ant; _Ain
"comes arising from trades and professions, as from landed, funded,
or ether accumulated property.
That it is thus ma :e a direct tax on the industry and skill of those
engaged in trade or professional pursuits, and imposes on them an
fair proportion of the pu tic burdens; that this Court do not hesi-
tate to declare that if the Honourable House of Commons should
re'-' to perpetuate this system of taxation, it will no longer deserve
f confidence of the people of the United Kingdom.
That amid unprecedented commercial difficulties, and with trade
'nu Manufactures in a state of most extreme depression, any in-
erealle in the taxation of the country would be impolitic, and that
the
inquisitorial character of an income-tax renders it at all times
Peculiarly obnoxious.
That this Court are of opinion, and submit that it is the duty of
othe Honourable the House of Commons, to limit tile expendi-
re for the public service to the sums already accruing from the
rdinary sources of taxation.
That
„ the Honourable the House of Commons should not anticipate
b
lavish expenditure a revenue to be raised by additional burdens ;
nand this Court regard with the most serious apprehension the an-
,,"al7-iucreased expenditure for the pulilic service, and submit to
litnteurable the House of Commons the necessity of a strict
re 'Won of our unjust and unequal system of taxation.
itesolyedittuanimously,—
Lord the thanks of this Court be presented to the Right Hon. the
Lertif— for the handsome and prompt manner in which III:

One half the world are dcselately single, and the other
knthall them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
