 MR. EDiroR :~-The question of the most expressing interest in the Legislature, and, n my opinion Of the highest importance to the State, is that of modifying our Revenue sys- tenn. What action will the Legislature sakei All admit that something must be done. Will Il increase the S2ie revenue by raising the State, and cnstailing the county taxes. Tbts mode appears to meet with the favor and appreciation of many members And have no direct information that the measure wall meet with any serious opposition from any quarter. What objection can be urged against an increase Of one hundred ger cent in the State taxes. Say, one fourth of on. per cent upon the valuation of all taxable property which IS just double the present rate. And cursailing and limiting the power given to the counties unIer the present law, so thai they cannot, hereafter, levy greater lax in any o6e year for county purposes, lhan ibe State tax. From lhe depreciation of Arkansas paper, and Treasury Warrants, it would be as litlle burdcnsome to the people to pay a greater State tax, and less county, than the present law imposes. This law authorizes the leveying of county tax, four times as great as that of the State, Now,is there any necessity for any county in this State, to levy q tax of one haif of one per eeRi; fifty cents upon each hundred dollars worth of proper iy. None will say there is, and the law should be repealed or modified, SO that the county taxes, should uoi exceed that of the .Siate-oniy where il was desired from a species of properly not chargeable with State taxes.
 ffthis system were adopted, the Siatc reve- nue for 1877, might be put down a. S6O or S65,00O The present year it will not exceed perhaps S27.000 am of opinion that the taxes should not be increased, only by directing par: of the amount authorized to he levied for county, 10 State purposes. The difference in paying the taxes under such ehVuge would not weigh feather III the balance with the people
 Connected with this change in the mode and amount Of taxation, another proposition has been more or less argued in different parts of tle State. Shall the Legislature in- crease or reduce the salaries of the State officers Or will they be paid in pa, funds am clearly ol opinion that the salaries are now loo small 10 procure the services of competent and faithful officers. But, if the State cannot pay them the amount promised in her funds, Ii clearly follows tha, the sala- rles are too high, and should be reduced. 10 what could be paid in good currency The Goveruor's salary purports 10 be SlS00. but in fac, itis only 5000. The Supreme Judges are allowed by law 5l500, but at mos, S750 --is all they receive.
 IL IS equally true in respect io all other ef- iicers of tie State. They only receive one half the amount the Sate promises.
 All admit Una, something ought 10 be done, and ltnaw rests with the Legislature lo reme- dy the evili and they will ii is hoped act in spirit of fairness and equality.
