The Taxes.

The subject Of another State tax Is
lust now matter that may be discuss
cd, not BY the Legislature alone, but By
the taxpayers generally. 1t is evident
to any one who observes at all that an
other tax cannot be paid by the masses
of the people until they shall have
Gathered another crop; but the State
government must nevertheless be sup
ported during the summer. What Is
70 be done in the emergency Is the
question. We cut from the Wlnnsbcro
Ncns and HcroM the tiUely following
editorial on the subject:
There is no one in the State so insane
os 10 believe that another tax can be
paid this spring, yet 1t is equally absurd
to suppose that the State government
can be maintained without money.
How to exlricatc themselves from this
dilemma, is perplexing the Legislature
This suggestion is therefore made to
them s.atif
The levy should be reduced to the
lowest possible figure, of course, and
should be made payable in two install.
mcnts- one fourth in the spring ard
the balance in the fail. Instead Of
charein. interest on the fist insialmcnt
if not paid, rs was the method adopted
la.t year, let the fifteen per cent. penalty
ON the fist ins,almeDt attach as soon as
the last day for paying it has expired;
but the property should not be declared
delinquent until after the expiration OF
the time for paying the other install
ment. 1t is rather preposterous to
charge interest on taxes, especially since
the adoption of the usury law, and the
imposition of the penalty is the true
theory. The operation of this proposed
plan will be satisfactory There are
number of capitalists who will pay their
instalments to avoid mourning any pen
atty, and the money thus collected will
support the government during the
summer. Those who have 10 funds
can let the penalty attach, and pay the
whole amount in the fall. The penalty
of fifteen per cent on One-iourlh of the
tax will be but one-iourth of fifteen PER
cent or three and three-fourths per
cent. on the entire tax. To illustrate
If the tax ON AS property is one hum
dred dollars, he is required 10 pay
twenty. five dollars in tho spring, and

while you have given no attention what

If such has been your misfortune In
previous years, can you, with the low

eyes, hope for any better result this
year, unless you change yo1r course :
No; it is impossible. So prepare to
crow your own grain, and to raise your
own stock, and have your cribs aud
smoke-houses on your own premises,
and keep them yourselves, instead Of in
distant cities, where they are kept BY
parties who regard not your interests
