PROPERTY TAX.
AT a MEETING of the INHABITANTS .of
the TOWN and f POOLE, holden at the
Guildhall, on Saturday, COthe 4eh day of February, Isis.
SAMUEL WESTON, Esq. Mayor, in the Chair.
Resolved, That the Tax upon Income, corameoly called the
Property Tax, is, in the opinion of this eeting, partial, oppres-
sive, and unconstitutional; partial and oppressive, because due
dittinctlon is not made in the levying of It, between limited In-
comes arising from Annuities, precarious and fluelnating ones,
*rides from Trade and other uncertain sources. and *nines
arising from real and permanent Property; unconstitutional, be-
cause it authorises an inquisitorial examination into the pecuniary
circumstances of Individuals, degrading to those exposed to it,
and revolting to the mind of every Free Man.
Resolved. l'bat the said Tax was adopted at a season of un-
u:alal national embarrassment, and expressly 1-clared to be a War
Tax only, with a provision that it should cease at a limited period
after the termination of the then existing hostilities.
liesolved, That t97s Meeting bath nevertheless strong reason
to believe that it is the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to ,
attempt to cootinuS or to renew the said Tax alter its legal ex.
piratian, on the 6th day of April next.
Resolved, That at a period when the restoration of Peace has
encouraged the . Nation to hope for, and gives it reasonable
*rounds to exytzt relief from the bur:hens of war, and anxiously
to too\ forward to a salutary and efficient retrenchment of the
rational expeediture ; the continuance in its present form, or the
renewal under any modification, of a system of taxation which
Ins by experience been proved to be odious, VEMIIMM, oppres•
rive, and unconstitutional, must necessarily tend to irritate and
estrange the public mind.
Resolved, therefore, That a Petition be presented to the Cont.
mons ilause of Parliament, praying that the Tax on Income,
commonly called the Property 'fax, may not be renewed, nor
any modifiratian of it be adopted.
Resolved, That the Petition now read Is approved of; and
that BENJAMIN LESTER LESTER, EMI. and MICMARL ANGELO
TAYLOR, Esq. the Representatives of this 'Down and County in
Patlianient, be requested to present the same, and give the
prayer of it their support.
Resolved, that the Members for the County of Dorset be re-
quested to rapport the prayer of the said Fetiches in Parliament.
Resolved, That these Resolutions be published in the STAIR,
the Salisbury, and the Sherborne Newspapers-
SAML. WESTON, Chairman .
Resolved, That the Thanks of the Meeting be given to
the Worshipful the MAYOR, for his readiness to call the Meet-
ing, an/ for his pulite and attentive conduct in the Chair.
