simply absara 1t is the first time in
all history that any man or people has
objected 10 himself as judge in his own
case when the other siee submitted it 70
him. in all candor, if the owner OF the
properly does not know its value, who
d0ess Docs not the man who buys,
pays for, eultiyafei and lives Hpon land
know its value much better than any
one else could knew it, This objection
Is 'ft0o thin
Another objection to the law is that
when property Is sold and notes taken
for It tle law taxes the property ia the
hands OF the purchaser and the notes in
the hands Of the seller. This has been
the law since the Acts of lSG9-70, If not
longer. fSise Acts 1S69-7O, chap. Is,
sec. ] > 1t necessarily results from the
language Of the new Constitution, see
Is, at. ,. Land IS 'sreal property
whether it is paid for or not. Notes
are personal property whether given
( for land or anything else. The Consti-
tuition says all property, real, personal
and mixed, shall be taxed. OF course
this includes both the land and the note.
! But these directors say that a note is
not property. 1t is merely the repre-
sentative of property, n ''prOmise TO
pay" The United States iegal-tender
/ note is only a promise to pay'-the
/ mere representative OF money the gov
erument promises to pay yet 10 one in
/ sists that IL should not be taxed. There
are many notes worth as much as green
backs, especially when they bear 10 per
! cent interest.
But these directors do not agree
among themselves. Purchasers who
have notes out say the land ought not
TO be taxed, because they have no real
title till the notes are paid. The holder
of the notes says the notes ought net to
he taxed, because they may never be
paid, and because the purchaser has to
pay tax on the land any way.
Singular enough, the very men for
whose benefit the law was intended are
loudest in their condemnation of it.
The land owner cannot hide his lands
he is assessed every time. But many
persons own large amounts of personal
property wholly unknown to any enc
but themselves. 1t cannot be assessed
unless they disclose it. The intention
of the law is to ''unearthn all such
property and compel the owners of per-
sonal property to bear their part of the
public burden along with the land own
er, and there is no doubt it will succeed
The farmers and land owners certainly
have no right to complain of the law,
1t was intended to make others share
the burdens equally with them. Ev-
erybody ought to remember that enc
human invention is perfect" The peo-
pie ought to give the law a patient and
fair trial before condemning it. At al
events, they ought fully to understand
it before passing Judgment.
FAIR TEST.
