Wants the Taxes Equalized.

Editor Morning Ne,os: The allah
sorbing topic of the present is the tax
digest for 1884. About the unwise, ard
may say foolish, tax placed on CONNER
cial drummsrs, l will say nothing, as that
question has been we'll dissected by
writer's who know whereof they speak
also by your intelligent editorials on the
subject. But how will it be with the
specific taXesI Has the poor merchant,
who does tritiing business, to pay the
same sum to support the city as the rich
merchant who does an extensive bust
nessP Is it just to compel person who
does n business of from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year to pay the
same tax as the merchant
who does business OF from $50, 900 to
$4,000 annually, The question can only
be answered by any fair-minded person
Fathers remember that their every action
is closely watched and criticised. What
We want is an equalization of taxes!
What we do not want IS laws which dis
criminate in favor of the rich to the detrl-
ment of the poor and middle classes. We
expect the Board of Aldermen, who were
made such by the sutfrages of the people,
VI seleCb pldn iOI " dub CuFdttbb. NO tual-
ter how troublesome or difficult it may
be to equalize taxes, they must do so
properly, and not meet together and
say let us add SO much to real es-
tate, i. e.. 90 per centum, and letus double
the specific taxes, and let us make the
drummers pay the same tax as residents
do in their line of business. One of two
things presents itself to the voters of this
city-we have either elected Council
that cannot spare the time to transact our
business properly, or we have ELECTED a
Council unable to handle such difficult
subject as equal taxation. In cOnVersa-
ton with some of our merchants 1 find "A
good many who will refuse to pay the
specific tax until they are rightly adjust
ed. The Council should act on this mat
ter without delay, or it may breed trouble.
Ignoring the will of the people they may
find is not very profitable way of attend
ing to their sworn duties.
EQUAL TAXATION.

subscriptions.
The work of preparation for the Guards
Battalion FAIR, which was to have been
held next month, is going on, and every
thing will be in readiness by the time now
fixed tor the opening. Owing to the an
ticipated bad weather in February, and
the lack of time to erect the necessary
buildings, ETC., it was thought best that
the fair should be postponed until after
Lent. 1t will therefore he held in April,
and will open about the 18th. By that
time pleasant weather will be as
sured and everything will contribute
more to general success. The battalion
is earnestly at work, and will fill the time
allowed by the postpOnement with active
preparation. At "A recent meeting of the
command the following resolution was
passed:
