Feeling somewhat the Importance of
equal and just taxation will propose the
following plan, viz: Take the poll tax of
the State entirely away from the towns
and make a tax sufficient, near as may be,
to meet the State and county expenses.
Some OF the reasons in favor of the
above plan are, it would entirely do
away with the corrupting competition
between towns. 1t would entirely do
away with the pickering, trading, lieing
and cheating of State and county equal
ling committees. Many other reasons
might be added. HIRAM SMITH,
