The License Law.

Our esteemed friend, A. J. Reynolds, OF
Minden, has written US very interesting
letter, endorsing in full our views upon
Judge Farmers License Law. Mr.. Key
nold- Requests that we publish the License
Law for the benefit Of onr readers. Its
great length precludes us from the publi-
cation. 1t is devised to include all trades
and professions, and 40 as 10 let no man,
be he rich or poor, who desires to make an
honest living, escape the payment Of at
least ten dollars to the tax gatherer.
The constitution provided for gradnat-
ed system Of licenses, and il was the opin-
ion of members of the convention that
graduation meant all imposition Of a tax
according 10 the business done by the indi-
vidnal. For instance. that the lawyer who
made only one thousand dollars a year
should not pay the same amount as was
paid by the lawyer who made ten thousand
dollars a year, aud the same of all other
trades and professions. Under the law AS
it nov stands hotel keepers are graduated,
not in proportion to the amount of their
receipts, but according 10 the number Of
rooms in their building. One or two other
trades aud professions are graduated III the
same way. But throughout the whole bill
there is division into classes, not of the
same professions, bnt each class is = differ
rnt profession. All rmigrant agents, mer-
camille agencies, all private banks, manu-
facturrrs Of snuff tobacco, cigars and ciga-
rettrs, each rHy $500 90; all lawyers pay
81 %. The only ditirrenc" that is notice
able between the new and old License Law
il that licenses are much higher.
There il ne graduation. no relief-noth-
ing but the culd.blooded demand for the
pound of flesh.
This is lovely patrrnal government Of
ours it the people are To Ice ground nm

tors ~ Mr.. Farmer has shown himsrlf 10

n certain MEATS of revenue n stringent law
is to bc passed, the amounts arr to be- in

sttutIon.
We are pleased To know that the inten-
tion il universal To resist this law. Attor
nrys here are unanimous in declaring IT To

and his co.adjutors may find that the pco-
pie are not ~ easily imposed upon us they
