Editor q Register:
All agrer that some action should be
taken to remove the irritation no" existing
in the public mind upon this subject. The

For several generations the people OF Elr-

an exemption OF some kind of property as q
natural right and it Is most difficult to eon-
vince them. that no exemption other than
that particularly specified in the constitu-
ton should be made.
The Democratic State Convention which
assembled in Charleston in the month ot
April Of last year adopted the following
resolution pursuant:
Resolved, That every citizen OF the State
bear lust proportion Of the burdens OF the

courts shall hold ihs tax exemption act Of

submission Of constitutional amendment
to the people to enable them in their sover

I be exempted from taxation. AS there are

of the tax clause of the consultation and

said, were foreigners, rot worEngmeu out
