TAN TIE RICH.
TO Ws EuN0

From expressions of the different classes on
the subject of raising revenue for the support
of the government of the District of Columbia
it is patent that no law will give universal
satisfaction, and your correspondent Titus
last Friday made some very good points
against the license SYSTEM Why should diff
ferent kinds of business be taxed at different
rates2 Why should the silk dealer or the
ewelry merchant be taxed at q lower tor
higher rate than he who buys and sells old
rags and tomato cans? If they are all legal
enterprises they should stand on an equal
footing before the law, for the question ot
respectability is only matter of individual
opinion. We hear SO much about the odiouSS
ness and oppressiyene5s of each and every
form of tax that one naturally arrives at
the conclusion that all forms arc odiOus and
oppressive in degree corresponding to the
amount the party complaininghas to pay, and
there will never be entire satisfaction until
all forms of taxes are abolished and govern
ments are conducted "free gratis, for
nothing"
When we had the most iustifable tax ever
levied on people-the income tax-"odious'
and Oppressive" We're the terms constantly
applied to IL by those who were of all.the
most able to pay the tax. That ability, that
talent, or that property which produces an
income for its possessor or its owner should
certainly be the object to bear the burden of
taxation while unproductive property, being
Of no service Though Of future value) to the
! owner, might while unproductive bo mex.
pensive to him. But why should Jones,
whose net income as II produce dealer amounts
to $500 a year pay license tax, while
Smith, who earns like amount as a me-
chanic, aud Brown, whose rents as o land
lord amount to as much, pay none? If We
could have universal income tax enforced
without fear or favor upon every one who
has an income of over 81 900, Sl,500, 1000, OF
whatever sum you please, whether produces

whether earned by sweat of brow, cudgeling Of

means-we will have tho faircst most equt'
| able, most consistent form of taxation thai
| tho ingenuity of man can devise-we will
! have taxes which the rich cannot eVade
which the poor can afford to pay, and which
will require less machinery to collect. Their

AN UNKNOWN MAN DEAD.

Reading of the accident of last Wednesday
on the railroad near tho Long bridge, by
which an unknown man was killed, failed
TO find any description Of tho man or his
clothing.
An unknown whito man between forty
lve and fifty years of ago" is certainly very
indefinite.
% Was il not some ones duty to publish de-
scription of the man and his clothing which
might, by some possibility, lead to his identi-
fcation? May not some one, possibly Mr..
Coroner, see that il is done hereafter? Surely,
IL seems buta kindness to hedead or injured
aud to their friends, of far more consequence
than names Of who served as the jury at the
inquest. "A WoMAN's REAsoN.n
