Coon ADvICE.-What if people do speak
against you? Let them feel that you are able
10 bear it. What is gained by stopping to
correct every word that is whispered to your
discredit! Lies will die, if let alone; but if
you repeat them to this one and another, be-
cause your enemies had the impudence to
make them, you keep the fire burning, and
open the way for a dozen ISLANDERS. Keep
on your course-go straight forward, and
not trouble your head about what is said, but
feel all the better, and wear a less frightful
face. SANDER never killed a sterling char
acter and it never will.

ference would be greater had the Com
missoners levied as high a county tax this
year as in 1916. 1t makes a difference
however the other way, when we find
the county tax higher than in lS45-the

facts.

The Tax, in lS47, on 81 ,O5O,3l7.. 5000 81
1t will be remembered that we use the
Eagles figures.
Now here appears TO be a difference Of
LAS OS, in favor of 1s47. Why is itl
Two facts will s%traiten the whole matter.
In lS45, there was a township tax Of one
mill on the dollar. This year there is
none. Add this one mill per cent, as the
Eagle should have done, and we have
S7089 62-leaving a difference in favor
of 1S47 of only S677 II. So far the
reader will say all correct; but why this
difference? We can name several rea-
sons; but will only give one. At least
$25, 900, of the personal property of this
town is invested in the new Bank. The
Tax on this, at 81 mills, would be $143 rs;
but it pays a Tax to the State, not coun-
ted in the Eagles calculation, OF some.
thing over that sum-leaving a balance
of some $500 less paid in 1S47. And
now why is thisl We could tell of Mer-
chants capital reduced and some descrip.
tions Of other kinds of personal property
which would entirely absorb the differ
ence; but we come right at another sufi.
cient reason.
1t will be seen by the Eagles count
see last weeks Eagle, that personal prop
erty, in the town, pays an increased ia,
of 1923, and this without adding the
mill township tax or the Bank tax paic
to the State. Add $40 for the forme
and $143 for the latter and we have al
increased personal tax of 1876. And i
the tax on town real estate is diminished
it is not the fault ofthe law, but of thu
Locofoco Appraiser and those who APP
pointed him.
The law vindicates itself. In anothe
article, we have shown that an addition
al tax ofonly 1886. to raise an addition
al sum of some $500, 900 for the State il
collected from all the real estate of thu
county, while here is an additional tax OIL
chattel property of 1876, collected in thi
town-just what the friends of the Law
claimed. And this difference will b.
still more manifest in future-each yea
the personal property paying more AM
the real estate paying less.
tits well for the Tax-payerto look a
the law in all its bearings. What far
mers, in the aggregate, pay additional o.
real estate, will be more than counter
balanced by the tax on their personally
without naming the considerations men
toned about the levying of higher take
for State purposes, interest and the Sink
ing Fund--also the incompetency of tn
Appraisers.
We are not defending the law becaaS
it favors the farmers. Did it favor thei
interest at the expense of others W
would oppose it. But we are a friend t
the law dccausei it operates equally upo
all. The question is-not whether it ia
vors the farmer, the mechanic, the mel
!, chant; but docs it distribute the burde
upon all alike? fit does, it is a just la,
and every man should supportit it.

Total decrease. 1882 rs
Here is an important fact. This conn
ty pays for State purposes $2,322 N
LESS than it did in 1916 and yet the
State Revenue is larger and out of the
whole tax, it is the intention of adding to
the sinking Funk. The reason is OBJ,
vious. We have but few capitalists in
this county and from these tho chief in
crease is drawn. We have no one, who
can strictly be called a rich man. But in
other towns and other counties, there
are such men and from those towns and
counties the State draws a larger tax.
Taxpayer! Wing men passed this
law and S % far as the State is concerned
Wing men have the control of it. They
collect more taxes and yet ask less ofyou.
Why then arc you compelled. in the ag-
gregate, to pay more2 1t is simply be-
cause your Commissioners have levied a
larger county tax. Wing men decrease
your State tax, why not then try Wings
in your county and have your county tax
decreased? tits in your power to have
it done and an appeal ofthis kind should
at least lead you to thinking.
We have made our comparison with
the year 1916. This is not doing the
Tax Law justice. We should go back
to 1914, the last year of the Locofoco
law;but either will answer. Should we go
back, however, scarcely a dollars worth of
moneys and credits, merchants stock &c.
would be taxed. and then you may inn
agine the increase on lands. Remember,
that it is the object ofthe Locofoco party
to repeal the Wing Law-and we now
