speech he spoke of the Electoral Commits

that If the Presidential controversy had not
been settled by the commission a civil war

THE tax LIMTTATION LAW

There is no measure pending before tia
Legislature OF greater importance TO the tax
payers of Marion County than the one pro-
posing to re.enact the law Of 1879 which
limited the rate Of taxation in this county
to SO cents. This law Of 1879 mas never been
repealed, in terms bat it suited the pur.
poses of the Court house ring to construe
that ii was repealed b. implication because
OF some general legisl ton subsequently
passed upon the subject OF taxation, and the
measure now pending is to remove
all doubt and make the Limitation OF
thirty-three cents certain. II was the gen.
eIsl understanding at the time OF the late
election that the candidates of both parties
were pledged to stand by the low taxa
ton provided by this Limitation law, and
certainly no candidate could have been
elected had he favored higher rate. The
bill OF Mr.. Winter, which has passed the
Senate and has been ordered to be engrossed
in the House, is simply a copy of the very
carefully drawn act Of 1879 in relation
to the limit on taxation, with an
additional clause allowing the rate
to be foTty-three cents next year.
Dut Ohiy luhts-tuIeo Genus thereafter
1t was because of this additional clause, no
doubt, that some OF the Democratic mem
bers of the House were inclined at one time,
not to support the Winter bill. But we IN
derstand they have wisely concluded 10 sup
port the bill as the best that can be got AZ
this late period OF the session, and there is
now no doubt but it will be- supported by
the entire Marion County delegation and
become law This is as it should be, and
the vote on its passage should be had at the
earliest possible period.
