The Direct Land Tax mt the South.
There is some talk of inforcing the collection OF
the direct LAND tax IN the South. The Southern
States share Of this tax-which amounted 10 twenty
millions among all the States-was six millions; OF
this only about three millions has been paid into
the Treasury from the Southern States Il will oe re-
membered that when this amount had been collected
President Johnson sent q message to Congress
setting forth that in view OF the poverty produced
In the South by the war 1t would IN many ms tances
be ruinous to that section TO enforce the collection OF
the tax at that time, and recommending that 1t be
suspended for some time, so as to allow the In
dustriai interests OF the South to recuperate IL ID
stated that the limit Of the suspension fixed by Con-
gress has now passed, and the law providing for the
levyin and collection Of the tax comes into 1ull
force again. 1t is argued by those who urge this
proceeding that the industrious Of the South nave
greatly improved in the interim, that the crops are
abundant and that there is no longer any excuse for
delay on the score Of poverty. Whether the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury viii act upon the advice ten
dered him In this matter remains to be seen.
