When the Assessor q this tovnship and the

the Bank sssO,SSa 90. hey levied rail-

Well, we ask how can the county Treasurer
pay the full amount Of interest 10 the railroad
company when be lacks ST., us IS of that
amount to pay it With And yet the Pres.
ident Of the bank, (who by the by is one OF
the Directors Of the railroad. J Cashier, Di.
reetors, and stockholders Of this branch. who
reside in this township, say they wish the
rsilroad completed, aHd the full amount o.
interest promptly paid, Can we believe tha'
they are sincere in what they say9 No, not
by a long ways. Now, gentlemen, act con.
%sistent, walk up and pay your tax, and show
those persons that you wish to get the 'rigH
Of uOay from for the road. that you are con
%sistent in what you are tryingto do.
Then the borough Of Cadiz is deprived Of
$ls9 90, because the bank refuses to pay its
tax. These stockholders of the bank, that
reside in town, are all great friends Of il, and
as they say, wish to see it improve; yet they
, are not willing 10 paytheir just proportion Of
tax to improve the town. If that SI99 90
|, was paid, it would go a good ways towards
. paying for the new market house, de-, DC
y This institution is under the protection of the
laws ofthe borough, and yet it Is not willing
to pay its just proportion of tax to have the
: laws Of the borough put in force.
Then that sl4e 80 would be a great hell
towards having good roads. They all wan
good roads, and say that it IS strange tina
the roads are not kept in better order, anC
yet they are not willing to pay their jus
Of proportion of road tax. What great incon
to sistency.
Then the school. county and township ia
of the bank is a nice little sum-only $a99,
81. They all believe in schools, and thin
III it strange that there are not more free school.
u and yet they are hot willing to pay a tax
n. keep those schools up. What friends OF ed

is. a debt which they all wish was paid; an
ID q yet they are not willing to helppay it. Al
x they sincere in what thej say? It is veI
No. doubtful.
ne What makes it look worse for the Cad
is branch in refusing to pay its just pr"portic
n n OF tax is this: Nearly every cent that com'
.e. into the county Treasury is deposited in tn
eh concern, and they have the use Of it; out
ID. which, no doubt, they make more than the
or tax, $3,455 70; and yet when the coun
Treasurer asks them for their taxes, they r
M fuse to pay it, lock the door of the vaul
nd and the Teller Of the bank puts the key of
i'd and what little money there Is outside OF Il
an vault in his pocket, and look as pert as
m young rooster making his first crow.
But what is the difference if they do n
;al pay their tax? They are poor--haUe nOthi'
and US rich people, who only W three
., four hundred dollars worth Of property,
ii that much, must keep up the expenses of t
=, government, so that the Legislature, Court
-, &c, can attend to the business eff the banl
. and then attend to ours after the get TIN
with theirs. They wish laws, &c, for the
lis. own benefit, and yet are not willing to p
for the framing Of them.
Let the banks go on in their present cours

what kind of materials they are composed
and what kind Of men they are CONTROL
