Tax Law.

Mr.. EDITOR: ! promised in this num-
ber to show why the tax for State pur-
poses was increased. Before doing this
| will first show the total amount Of the
increase of the State taxes this year,
above what they were last year. In
order to do this | refer to the Report
of the Auditor Of State made to the last
Legislature. The Auditor in the tabu-
lar statement contained in his report,
shows that the taxable value OF the
property in the State under the old law
was S144,16O,469, this last year paid for
State purposes at mills on the dollar,
81 ,oo9, 23.28,3; this year it will pay
for State purposes at 8 mills on the
dollar the sum of $1,l53,o83,75,o, being
an increase over last years tax Of
$I44,16o,46,9. This would be the in
crease of taxes this year above what
they were last, if the property taxed
was the same; but the wings claim that
the taxable value of the personal prop
erty is largely increased over what it
was last year. And in the last 'Guern-
sey Times saw table showing the
increase in 10 counties in the State to
be $3,O73,598. Now suppose the in
crease in the balance of the State to be
equal 10 what it is in these 8 counties,
then we have the sum Of Sl4,513,877
in addition to the amount that was taxed
last year, that being one half of the
whole amount Of the increase. Now
this sum at 8 mills on the dollar gives
the sum Of Sl16,l1l,O1,6; this added to
the increased amount as shown above.
makes the excess Of taxes for State pur-
poses this year above what they were
last to be $3.50, l,48,5. This | sup
pose the economical wings will call a
neat little reduction of the burthens of
the people, and only tythe of what
they will reduce them to if they should
retain their power for another year, and
until they get all their beneficial laws
into full operation. Butwe are told by
the wings when forced to admit that the
taxes are increased, that it was ncces-
sary to increase them to pay the inter-
est on the State debt. Auditor Woods
in his report above referred to, makes
the estimate Of demands that would be
on the State treasury this year, and al
so the means to meet them, and by es-
timating the amount to be raised by

ing the building was pending before the
Senate. Jones of the Senate opposed
the bill on the ground that If If nassed il
would be necessary to increase the
State debt. bv the issuing of at least an
additional million of dollars of State
bonds, and appealed to Kelley to know
| if that would not be the case. Kelley
replied that he did not consider that It
would be necessary to issue State
bonds, TO paw for the building. for saws
| he if the revenue law passes that is now
before the other House. (meaning the
Tax Law of last winter) there will be
sufficient revenue raised by it to pay
for the building without issuing State
bonds. This is the wav the wings
talked when in office, as will be seen
by reference to the proceedings of
the Senate, on the bill to authorize the
building of the new State House, as
published in the papers at Columbus at
the time, and these admissions OF the
wings then made, show what they in
tend TO do with the excess levied by
Auditor Woods, if the people can be
again induced to trust them with power.
| will also refer to another matter which
grew out of the legislation of winter
before last, and that is authorising the
Directors of the Penitentiary to buy a
stone quarry, and build a Rail Road to
it. In the performance Of this duty,
,hey have bought stone quarry at a
cost Of $4,000 and have commenced
a Rail Road at an estimated cost of
