To The Editors Of the Watchman.

Respected Frends-I venture to suggest TO you
one mode of managing the affair of the state tax.
Let it be understood that collectors shall proceed
to collect from the people exactly so much money
as would be each mans share of this countys pro-
portion OF the present tax, upon the apportionmeht
of il among the countless OF 8, Z, and o: and lei
them refuse to take any more, from any man, than
exactly at that rate. This may be ascertalned by
calculation, which don't stop now to make. 1t
will be the present tax which each man is assessed
with, deductpg so much in each dollar. Or suppose
quota for this county should be assumedtw slxths
more than Sussex pays-or one seventh more IMAM
Kent pays. This would make the aggregate, Tor
1.-The state, less than the present tax and yet TINS
county would pay, what she ought to pay, and would
have paid if the had been apportioned according
Ito the old rule The amount collected, in that case,
would be somewhat less than $4,000 1t this was
done no further collection of this tax would take
place. The old rule of g. 7, and would be restor'
ed; and every body in the state would be GLAD 70
see the thing got over so easily. And none would
be better pleased than The very authors OF this 1901
sh and wreched tax tor none have so deep an IN
terest as they have, in burying this unhappy affair
in oblivion. They will, however, perhaps never re-
gain the confidence Of their fellow citizens. BUT u
1.-The scheme is Abandoned nothing further shouid oe
said about their misconduct. 1t will serve as oea
oon 70 future legislators. A FRIEND.
