The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1864-1911, 1866-01-31

nA-we are indebted to DR.. West, Seua-
tor from this district, for the Annual Report
Of the Auditor of State. From it we learn
that the Taxes levied upon the valuations of
1864, collectible in the year 1865, aggregat-
ed: Total State Taxes IS, ,S29, ,96S a; To
tai local Taxes sll ,OO2, $40 As. The taxes
levied ON the valuation of 1865, collected in
1866, is-total State Tax $5,663, ,367 43; to-
tai local Taxes $l4,8S2, $40 %.
The Auditor of State recommends the
abolishment of the Office of Township
Assessor, and that the Assessors duties be
imposed upon the Township Clerk.
The Auditor puts the following case in
regard to Taxing National Bonds:
"Two men, A. and B., have each $780,
060 in money. A. invests his in Govern
nent Bonds, and B., in lands and chattels.
Both are alike protected in their rights by
the Governn eut; but instead of each pay
ing $500 for the support of the Govern
ment, A. is wholly exempt from taxation,
| and Il, Is required to pay $1,000 for the
protection afforded himself and A. Can
b, love such Government, or A., who aids
in imposing this unequal and unjust burth-
| en- upon him? Can a republican govern
| ment stand, if administered upon such
principles? Those who attempt to main
tain these privileges of exemption to the
moneyed classes will very soon learn that
our people will not tolerate such immuni-
ties to those who have a greater interest
than others in the preservation of order,
and yet refnse to contribute equally to the
necessary expense incurred in securing the
lives, liberty and property Of the communi-
ty."
And yet concludes that it would be
wrong to tax Government Bonds, as if
the laws of Congress were like those of the
"Medcs and Persians," unchangeable.
