Good News for the Tax.Payer.

The following expressive communication
from the Columbus correspondent to the Cincin-
natl Gasette, has peculiar significance to the tax
payers of Wood county. The action of the
Legislature in the case is greatly needed and
will be fully endorsed by the taxpayers OF
this county
At last we have a movement in the General
Assembly looking 10 tue reduction of the tre-
mendous burden OF taxation which now weighs
so heavily upon the people Of Ohio.
In the House, to-day, Mr.. Joy, of Delaware,
introduced a bill limiting the levy by municipal
corporations, for all other than general purposes
to per cent. As it stands, the law authorizes
a practical conhscatiOn of the property of the
people in the cities and towns, by permitting a
levy for special purposes of a per cent. This
is in addition 10 the State, county aud town.
ship levies, besides the municipal levy fnF gen.
eral purposes No wonder that the property of
Ohio is saddled with an annual tax Of S24, ,000,-
000 and that corruption and peculatiOn run riot
among county, city and village officials. Per-
haps the power Of municipal corporations to
make special levies to the enormous extent now
authorized by statute is the most fruitful source
of rascality and oppression, and it is, perhaps
well that Mr.. Joy, in looking around for place
to strike, delivered the first blow right here.
Who will follow it up with proposition to cur
tail the vast authority of County Commission
ers
In the Senate there was another encouraging
symtom. Mr.. Howard, the Senator from Cham
paign, presented a petition, signed By number
Of citizens Of that county, for retrenchment and
reduction Of taxes. This shows that the people
themselves are beginning to wake up to the i'm
portance of the subject. Thew can not too loudly
or too vigorously demand reform. They car
not send in to many petitions for it to the Assem-
bly,. Legislators are not deaf, although they
fr frequently close their ears, until the people
speak in tones not to be misunderstood. LIE
them hear thunder from all parts Of Ohio upor
this matter of local taxation.
