with this immense building, In case the
Legislature should decide % remove the
Capital from Wheeling after It's erection
To 10 sure, here would DO some risk in
the matter. But suppose the Capital To
be taken from Us, the half Of
the building would still be wanted
for city and county uses, The
other half could be converted to some
good purpose. The first two stories
would make very desirable law offices,
being convenient to the county and city
court rooms, The third story could readf.
ly be converted into fine public hall,
The income from these sources would pay
. fair interest on the cost Of the building
There are some who have objected q
this site on the score that the grounds
around the building would not Be sufRl
Gient. The Brady and Aeheaon grounds
together are considerably larger than the
"old high school lots" which have been
spoken Of, and certainly offer a more eli
gible site for Capitol building, And II
cannot reasonably DO looked for that in q
city cramped for building room, as Ii
Wheeling, very much space can bespared

which it can more easily be reached and fully
assessed into speculative uses Formerly munic-
ipal extravaganza and burdensome taxation
were mainly confined to "a few largo cities, but
within a few years the evil has extended, not
only to nearly all the chief cities, but 10
smaller towns, which, in multitude OF
cases, expend in ambitious Improvements
more money in proportion to their tax
able wealth, and levy heavier taxes
upon property, than the great municipalities
which were SO cursed with rings and debts
ten years ago. In very large number of
towns, especially in the regions OF active trade
OF extensive manufacturing. the taxation now
required merely to meet interest on municipal
debts is much greater than the people would
have felt able TO pay for all municipal pur-
poses before the war. The Controllers report
indicates plainly that in most of the towns in
which National banks are located the taxes
exceed the average rate of interest III Great
Britain. If we remember that the tendency OIL
modern civilization is constantly toward tho
transaction of larger proportion OF business
upon borrowed capital, We must conclude that
English merchants and manufacturers have
very important advantage in their less eApeh-
siye municipal governments.
Gov. Tiden has recently appointed Com
mission of prominent and able citizens to in
yestigate the subject of municipal government,
and its Inquiries, we trust, will serve to place
in clear light the causes Of the rapid increase
of debt and taxation in cities and towns. If
the Commission can also suggest efficient rene
dies, it will render important pubic service.
Respecting the creation OF debt, we suspect
that it will perceive the necessity OF absolute
limitations But it i. not less important to de-
wise some rational mode of assessment and
taxation Under the present system, more
than half the value of property escapes taxa
tion altogether, either through underyaluation'or
through concealment The result is that bank
ing capital, and other fDrnls of property which
are liable to assessment at their full value,
bear most oppressive burdens.
