XII. Another way to make your tax o.
dious, is TO mifapply the produce Oft. If
it was originally appropriated for the dstfSo
OF the provinces and the better fupport of
government, and the administration of juC-
tics where r may be sssx0Sry, then apply
none of it to that dsftnes, but beRow II
where it is not ssesD6r, in augmented iala-
ries or penfions to every governor who has
diitinguiihed himief by bis enmity to the
people, and by eliminating them to their
iovereign. This Will make them pay it
more unwillingly, and be more apt to quar-
rel with thoie that collect il, and thole that
impolcd il, who will quarrel again with
them, and all iha!l contribute to your main
psypsE Of making them sSsary ef ysw &c.
VSyNment.
Kill. If the people Of any provinces have
been accuffomed to fuppon their own 60
vernors and Judges TO latIsfaetion. you are
to apprehend that luch governors and judg-
CO may be thereby influenced to treat the
people kindly, and todothem juttice. Thiais
Saother realon for applying part Of that re-
venue in larger falaries TO luch governors
and ;udges, given, as their commifiions are
dKrins ysw plsoIars only, forbidding them
70 take any fslaries from their provineesi
tina, thus the people may no longer hope any
kindnefs from their governors, Tor in crown
cafssj any juiiice from their judges. And a.
the money thus mii-Spplied in one province
is extorted from all, probably all wV ressf
tbt miE1fpiie0GsS.
