FOR THE SPECTATOR.
Mr.. PRINTER,
February IA, 1920.

Mr.. PRINTER,
The good sense which perysdes most
Of the writings of Old Rustic, serves to
increase my establishment at sentiment
expressed by him in your paper of the
22d instant. After adverting to the blum
ders committed by the present legislature,
he adds" Yet the very aspect of the
new laws by them enacted, shows ma
nifest intention 10 shield the hoor and
curt0il the rich, PARTICULARLY IN THE
TAX LAW" And in another part of his
piece, he expresses much concern lest
"the present system oftaration" should
chance 10 be ouerset."
To convince Old Rustic that his OPT
Mon of thestax law is erroneous, will
briefly state its operation on two farmers
of my acquaintance.
A. B. is poor man. BY unremitted
industry and rigid economy, he has been
enabled to enter one quarter section of
first rate land, and has paid the first in
stalment of $50 upon it. He depends
upon the labor of his own hands to raise
money to pay the three succeeding in
stalments, as we'll as to purchase stock
and utensils for his farm, and to provide
shelter for himself and family. His
whole estate may therefore be set down
at eighty dollars, and even this IS liable
to be forfeited, should sickness or other
misfortunes prevent him from complet-
ing his payments. Yet A, B. pays a tax
of three dollars and twe,,ty cents, be-
sides road tax not exceeding fye DOL
lars year. This is(what Old Rustic
calls shielding the poor.
Now let us see what is meant by cur
failing the rich.
{. d. is rich man. His land is paid
for,and is in ahigh state ofcultivation. His
estate may be estimated as follows:
