Taxation in Ohio, and South Carolina

We arc indebted to Mr.. J. IIollins.
head, among other papers, for copy
of the Chicago RepuJiieon which con,
tans IN interesting article upon taxa.
ton in Ohio. From this it appears
that the amount raised in Ohio by
taxation in 1860 was: For State pur,
poses, Sl,0+5.476.5S; for County pur.
poses, sG:272,5l5.5o; for township lc
vlcs, s7,1oS.GGo.73. equal to an asgrc
gate Of 1T,l2G.GS1. or ut the rate ol
$50 per cent, on 81 100000, 900, tho
assessed value Of the property of Tic
State. In the cities, tho city tan
amounts to ) per cent, in some cases
In this view, some muy suppose
that we in South Carolina, have nc
great reason to complain Of oncrou<
taxation. But Of one per cent.
means $50 and 2, per cent: and moro
when property is arbitrarily assessed
with us, at double and treble it's mar.
kct value. The weight of taxation
besides is the moro heavy that it falls
upon so much unproductivc capital
VIC complain however, not SO much
that taxation is burdcnsome, but that
it is unnecessarily so-that the taxes
are more than double what we have
been accustomed 10 pay-m'orc than
double Of what arc necessary for the
wants Of GoYernment-that they are
levied upon tho property. holder for
the benefit Of a favored few, whu
contribute nothing. We complain
not so much Of taxation, but of tax
alton unequally: imposed, expended
in wastcful extravaganza. ."

We are in receipt OF Premium
List of the Iowa State Fair, to be
held at Keokuk Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
Sept. 18th, 18th, 18th, 18th and
10th. The pamphlet is printed at
the Office of the Davenport Demo-
crnt, and contains larger list OF
premiums than ever before. Many
of our citizens attended the exhibi-
ton last year, and we have no doubt
many more will make arrangements
to be present at the coming exhibi.
ton. The trip is but small affair
in these days of steam and rail, and
the show will be well worth the ex-
pense and time. The facilities ale
ample for accommodations, the
grounds consisting of fifty acres en-
closed, with buildings. ampitheatres,
stables, tolerable track, dining hall,
etc. The Mechanical, Art and Flo
raj Halls will be furnished with every
comfort and convenience. Let all
who can attend and see what the
State.is capable of producing. No
better time could be found for our
Eastern friends to visit the State
than while this Fair is in session.
Immediately after the adjournment
of it they can come to Mahaska and
witness the best County Fair in the
State, and thus judge of the sulta
bilities of Mahaska for residence
Come to both.

DOGS VS.. SHEEP.

BY late report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington,
we learn that in Iowa, twenty eight
counties reported last year loss OF
500 sheep by dogs. AS the report
covers but little more than one
fourth our area, we can easily calcu-
late the immense loss occurring last
year from these pests. 1t is an out
rage, that while we pay from three
to five dollars for wolf and other
sheep-kllling animals scalps, We al
low dogs to grow and multiply at an
alarming rate. If we hear that a
VOLTS den has been discovered in a
certain locality, great excitement
prevails and a hunt is organized
scores of men turn out and put In
one or more days, and think they
are well rewarded for their pains by
the capture Of a single wolf, and
yet while they thus hunt for single
animals of an almost extinct race,
they are nurturing and fostering
around their very hearthstones,
thousands of just as deadly enemies
to the sheep as the wolf. The Cen
sus Report of Iowa tor 1868 shows
that we are cursed in this State
alone with l47, 1923 dogs, at least
nine tenths of which are worthless
ours that would kill sheep as quick
as would a wolf. Think OF it. One
dog to eight persons, and hydro
phobia abroad in the land. The
New Jersey Legislature passed a
law taxing the owner OF every dog
50, and collecting it the same as
other tax, the proceeds to go to re-
imbursing sheep owners for their
losses, the balance, if any, to 60 TO
the school fund. Every dog for which
tax is paid to be provided with a
collar, marked, numbered and reg
istered, and all others have a price
of fifty cents each upon their heads,
payable to any one who kills them.
Good law; and Iowa would profit
by enacting a similar.

QUIT THAT.

Quit telling your innocent, confid.
ing, trembling, children about ghosts
and hobgoblins. You are throwing
a sorrow upon their hearts that will
cling there through life. How many
mothers there are who quiet their
children by saying, "The bug-a-boos
will come and take you !" "Come
old niger, come and--well, will you
hush then, right this minute ?"
The child believes all It's mother
says, and why shouldn't it? II
ought to believe. This is a filial du.
ty. The sobbing, futtering heart is
quiet, but not composed. These tear.
full eyes close in a dream Of terror /;
the child Dreams but oh who can
tell the sadness of child while it
dreams in sleep frightened upon il
by alarms of all that is terrible as
well as repulsive.
Parents think of this. See that
children hear no ghostly lessons.
See that they are-taught to love the
ever present savior, and to honor his
ever blessed nam e.

Reduction of the Public Debt.

WASHINGTON, June 20.
But for the fact that there will be
large payment of navy and war
pensions and the closing up OF bal
ances ending with with the fiscal
year, there would be a larger reduc-
tiyn of the public debt than has
been exhibited during any previous
month since the advent of the pres
ent administration. Receipts from
the Internal Revenue Bureau and
other sources are considerably in ex
cess of the estimation of the Score
tary Of the Treasury and the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. This
