THE TAX BILL.

EXTRACT OF q Letter from
"PETERsBuRG, 2lst March, 1913.
81 should be sorry to see the amendment TO the
Tax Bill, cxempng State bonds from taxation carried
out But short time since, the price of said bonds
was about $S77 3d. and now suppose that 800 would
be fair quotation for them, and, If the holders of The
bonds (ciizens OF the Siate) should feel the tax bur
densose one, they dispose of the bonds at once
for Sl2 30 in every 500 than they would have
brought before the tax laid; and surely they can
not complain, the laying of the tax has been pro-
ductive of such vast profit 10 them. certainly can
not see any why the should not be retained
the bill. should incline TO the opinion that lands
which the State had sold when the tax was $40 on the
500 value, would present equally strong grounds for
exemption, do the bonds referred to. The tax is
not laid upon the bonds but upon the investment Of
money, whether in State individual bonds, acquired
by purchase.
81 beg TO call your particular attention 10 the fourth
resolution of the meeting held here the 10Th instant
respecting the inequality of the in the and
country. Had the Committee looked into the matter,
they would have found that the proposed in towns
upon improved and occupied property, lighter, in
proportion, than upon lands, negroes and horses
Take the taxes of 1888, and We find that land
taxed 10 cents on the $500; negroes 80 cents and hors
cens-now, the tax is ID cents, 46 cents and IL
cents, 80 per cent advance upon land and horses and
above SO per cent negroes; WHILE if The tax upon
town property vas raised IN the proportion to land
and horses il would be So IS place of SO Co. as The
tax in 1898 was 50 so, and 80 per cent would make
just 50 75;-and yet We are told by that beautiful
little party.capita making meeting, that "such laws
better suit regal or imperial Governments than the
Commonwealth of Virginia" Thus do We see the
equal system of taxation, which Virginia has for
years pursued assaed with marked violence, that
in the end it may to the benefit of Whiggery,
regardless of the crying necessities of the Slate.-
"Rule or RUM" ought to be the motto of the Wing
party for their conduct both in State and National
councils clearly shows, thathey would, if they had
the power bring ruin upon sooner than that we
should succeed in getting the country out OF the diff
culties into which they punging It,.

An has gone FORTH that the tax bill will fall very
heavily upon the class of men, the overseers,
who not generally in the most comfortable crcum-
stances This ID q mistake. As the Senate have
amended the hl no pays any tax, unless he gets
more than SlC0-and if more than that sum, it will be
but tax of about 81 every 100 above. If he re-
ceive $780, he 10 pay but 81 II 5000, it only 81
There very few overseers in the Commonwealth
who receive that sum, and THEY are surely able 10
contribute their dollar or the necessities Of their
country.
