PEARFUL INCREASE OF STATE TAXATION

The following table shows the tax levy
for state purposes for nine years, from
1873 to 1881. 1t will be seen that the levy
for 1881, when the state was entirely out
of debt, is just double what it was IN 1874,
when very large amount of old state
bonds were yet unpaid, and large sum
was demanded to meet the interest and
principal:

whether il will pass that body, owing to
the entirr divergence of opinion in the

Committee brought in bill embracing the

il all reference to internal revenue. Here
the two bodies split. The bill which passed
the Senate has never been considered in
the House, and the fact that a similar
measure passed the former body has no
bearing upon the action of the latter on
the question now pending. The Tariff Com
mission is, therefore, long way removed
