MR.. MANN offered resolution some
days ago in the House OF Delegates that
the county of Greenbrier be exempted
from certain back taxes, those of 1865,
If we are not mistaken. At different
times similar resolutions have been in
troduced in behalf of other counties.
We do not propose to consider the
merits OF any of them. That is not our
object now in abiding to their intro
duction- They serve to Indicate the ne
cessity, in the minds of those introduc.
ing them, OF mitigating as far as posi-
bic the burdens of taxation now rest
ing on the people of our State. Mr..
Borgess. inquiry of the Auditor, allu-
ded to yesterday, looking to a possible
reduction OF the taxes, was n motion of
the same general character, and still
further illustrates how all pervading is
the desire to relax, not to increase, the
pressure of taxation.
And yet in the hearing of these differ
ent resolutions, and with the fact
staring them in the face that the people
of West Virginia are not in any condi-
ton at all to cut Off or fritter away
their financial resources, we see men
willing to grant extraordinary exemp-
tons or releases to n great and wealthy
corporation, seemingly :for no better
reason than it is so great and induen-
tial. We submit that there is n striking
inconsistency in the facts of our finan-
cial situation, as they actually exist,
and the proposition now pending to
cut away at a single stroke one of our
main sources of revenue. Why do we
thus aim to build up with one hand
and destroy with the otnsrP Why do
we wish to reduce taxation upon the
people generally, in order to allow
them brief opportunity to recuperate.
when we are at the same time preparing
an additional burden that will con-
sumo to no purpose all their recupera-
tionH
Wepresume that most members of
the legislature would vote fora reduc-
ed scale of taxation II bill of the
kind were before them. And why
Because they know that it would be- IA
grateful measure of relierto the people.
and because they know that the direct

TO come into the State. This being SO.
does it need any argument to make
plain the fact that the granting of
practical release from taxation to n
great corporation in our midst, would
be in the last degree distasteful to the
people, and that the tendency would be
to intimidate every man who had ever
entertained n thought OF coming into

ONE Of the arguments in common use


in regard to the pending Baltimore
Railroad bill is, that the company
ought TO be exemp t from taxation be-
cause their road has been a great bene-
ut to the State, and especially to the
counties through which it passes. It is
difficult to meet such an argument with
anything like respectful gravity. We
can only think of it as childish and
laughabIe. The Baltimore road has
certainly conferred benefits on the
State, and more particularly on the
counties referred TO. And yet who
will claim that the fact is in anywise to
be credited to the original purpose of
the company? The beneftssthus con-
terred are only incidents to every
species of enterprise, for which the
recipients are not obligated in the
sense of having received a charity, nor
for which the authors of the enterprise
are to be paid other than in the course
of business. Who ever heard of a rail-
road being built or projected by a set of
capitalists in order to enhance values
along the line of it at the expense of
their own interests? SO long as people
are obliged to pay for the accommoda-
tions conferred by road, they may
reasonably claim as Iegitimately and
exclusively their own all adFentitious
and indirect advantages arising from
the mere accident of location. 1t is
certainly ridiculous to hold them in
debted for that which no body ever
owned but themselves, and which by no
possibility could have been hindered.
And yet silly, if we may use the word,
asis this argument of benefits conferred
in such a way, it nevertheless seems to
have weight with some people, judging
from the frequency of its repetition.
As well might one OF our great manu-
featuring companies in this city set up
a claim OF exemption from taxes on
the ground of accidental advantages
conferred upon the city. But little at
tention, we fancy, would be paid to its
claim, and why, therefore, should we
attach any more weight to such talk
on behalf of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad?

Senator Wilson, in debate on the
railroad bill, remarked the other tIsy
that the company had constructed the
road without any aid from our State
except what was contributed bv the
city of Wheeling. There is little mis-
take about this. The city of Parkers-
ourg, and citizens of counties between
1t and Grafton, subscribed $50. 006
upon the representation of the COM
panys agents that the Parkersburf,
branch stockholders would, in a faysS
years, by an ingenious financial con.
Eiyance, become the controlling ownaTs
OF the road, and reap marvellous diTis

the lightning of heaven and made the thun-
