with other taxes. Outside Of the city Of
Chicago there is no trouble or legal con:rc
versy in the collection of taxes.
The government of the city of Chicago
has, however, insisted upon maintaining an
independent system for the collection Of ito
own taxes. 1t has refused to have these
taxes collected under the State law and the
State machinery. The county court year
ago decided that the law under which the
city was attempting to collect taxes was IN
constitutional, and thereupoI refused to
give judgment for taxes. The Supreme
Court has unanimously affirmed this deci-
sion OF the county court, as every lawyer in
the State not connected with the law de
partment knew would be the case. The
law department of Chicago proposed to bet
tour or five millions of dollars of the peo-
pies money that the Supreme Court would
not dare to override the opinion OF the law
department., and have lost the bet.
| Last winter the L. D. obtained from the
Legislature an amendment to the city tax
law. and proposes on the second of July
next to go into the county court, and bet
600 more of the public money that
the supreme court will not dare to override
the opinion Of the l.. D. tina: the amended
law is the embodiment Of lega! wisdom and
| legal skill.
But, if the law department: would stop
here-is it would he content with the loss
Of 1874 or a, ,eas, ,ha Newfoundland. If

its own defective tax system. and adop: the
