OHIO TAX LAW PROPOSED FOR THIS DISTRICT
The sections which will be submitted by Repre-
sentatives Neal and Henkle for Incorporation in
the new District regulations touching taxation
are being prepared by Mr.. Neal, of Ohio. These
will contemplate the imposition Of tax on
every species Of personal property, and will
aim to tax what is known as invisible property.
Mr.. Neal says that he believes that the rich as
well as the poor should be made to bear the
burdens OF taxation, and that he is confident
that the invisible property can be reached If the
law which be will endeavor to have enacted is
rigidly enforced. He thinks the law at present
in force in Ohio good one. This law In brief
provides that each prOperty-holder shall male
Il return under oath of every species of prop
erty owned by him; If he fails, the assessors
estimate the same and add heavy additional
per centage. From this he has an appeal to a
county and state board OF equalization. If a
person thinks that the return Of his neighbor is
not given truly, he can make complaint and
then the alleged delinquent and the complain
ant are summoned before the county board for
an examination. Mr.. Neal says he is friend
OF the District: is willing to vote money to make
it as it ought to be. the handsomest city in the
world; but he thinks it is a mistaken policy to
invite rich men to live here just because they
can escape taxation. He says such citizens do
not benefit any community.

A LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN FRYE, in this
city, to the Lewiston (Me.) Journal says: ..My
opinions as to the fraud in Maine have been so
persistently misrepresented by fnterviewers
that wish to state them myself. Before the
consummation OF the crime, certainly could
see no way to prevent it, IL the governor and his
council had blindly and wickedly determined to
commit it. saw no power OF Injunction in the
courts, no efficient restraint in the laws. It
does not, however, follow that the conspiracy
shall pour into the laps OF the conspirators the
full fruits OF success. While there were no pre-
ventives. there are, in my judgment, remedies,
as TO which prefer to say nothing further at
present, only that they must be resOrted to. 1t
viii not do for the Intelligent citizens OF Maine
to submit quietly to such wrong. When would
such submission end? 1t is not a crime against
the republicans OF Maine alone, but a Stagger-
ing blow against good government, dangerous
attack upon republican institutions. Subnls-
sion would encourage all that is bad in our
country, and tend TO dishearten patriots. From
expressions of opinion here by leading demo-
Gratis and greenbaekers, am satisfied that the
thoughtful men Of all parties will unite In con-
qefnnaiion OF the course OF the fuSioniStS, and
do not hesitate to say that am for ali legal and
honorable resistance to the end"
