THE LAND-TAX.

II ths Editor Of The Chicago 7ribunt:
Bin: Your correspondent, Il. o. W., may bo
right in maintaining that the lnnd-tax slouldn not
DO abolished. But, II there were no othor argu-
ments in faror Ct retaining Buch Tux than aro
contained in his article in to.day's paper, lie
would have pretty well proved, by the reluctio-
ad-absurdum pzocess, thai taxos on land should
be abolished.
Il ii trne that land may be, and In the county
generally is, taxed with fair equality. But, as d
fact, the inequality Of the taxation In Chicago is
30 outrageous. aud 40 much in tho tayor Of rich
lxntl-ownors. that alnloat auy Indirect method Of
iand.saxes a. now ioviod. But q 6ottor remedy
than the abolition Of Tho tax would DO tho mp
polntment ofs Taxi Commissioner, whoao Office
should be open the whole year round. and WHO
should llayo tho power to alter tile assessed val
,scs on paEticular paocs Of property, power
which tho County nos@d Of Equalization has not.
An illustration OF thtH point will H1aho this moro
clear: Tho aBsossmont for 1872 Of tho roalty In
high AZ in the county at large. But the ssse.H-
ment OF ono fine place, worth 3f00, 600, owned BY
large rea-estate dealer, was placcd at $4,000.
whereas mary Of tho small farms wore assessed
at fully the aYoraga yatuo OF tho whole county,
If tito poor mai wants to live cheaply, he buys
q place out Of town, where the taxes ars not 80
heavy: Whether ho buys or rents, tho taxca
must fall to him to pay, ii tho landowner can
the easier for the owner to shlft tho taxes
upon the tenant. 500 thlH subject troatod more
