To the Editor af Tie Tribune.
CHICAGO, Feb 2l.-At last the solons of our
| State see the necessity Of a modification in our
| Revenue law, and mag some good come out OF
| it. The editorials OF THE TRIBUNE have been
| tar-reaching and instructive, Dis hare also some
| suggestions offered BY contributors; yet the
! system Of taxation is great science, and many
committeeman may lack the requisite under
standing thereof. I have read carefully and
with deep interest the editorials on the subject
and think they can bear lew suggestions, with
Jour kind permission:
The Revenue law should contain q mode Of
assessing more directly and distinctly, and be
more explicit It should only comprise the fol-
lowing objects: Citizenship, occupation, and
real estate
Is citizenship propertys Most assuredly, and
the highest-priced at that; for to become citf-
zen Of free country is certainly great boon
to Nberty-loving man. If taxation is to be
just, equal, and uniform, then Tom, Dick, and
Harry, who enjoy citizenship aud exercise the
rights OF full-hedged American citizens, shall
pay just, equal, and uniform share towards
the maintenance Of the Government under which
ble rights to life, liberty, and happiness; there
fore every voter, male citizen OF Fl years, should
be valued at 81 900, and paw tax.
Is it right to tax mans occupation2 Ger
tainly! Why? Because he derives benefits
from the community and claims protection from
the Government in plying bis trade, art,
mental or physical labor for the maintenance
OF life and happiness; therefore, the 1aborcr,
the artisan, the professional, the merchant the
manufacturer, the importer, and jobber should
pay an adequate share, such as bis station will
Justly permit and will be equitable in reference
to his fe1low-citizcns, For instance:
Laborer, $500 year ..---...---....-...--.-.S
