to be Chlhuahua State troops, and not

was astonished that Cutting had refused

done right, as the case was beyond the

The TArTLER of to-day gives up large
part of its space to the presentation OF the
facts bearing upon the wisdom OF the Mar
tin Tax Act, because the proposed enforce
ment of that act is one of the most inpor-
tant municipal movements that has ever
been sgitated here. Even by those. IN other
cities where it is being tried, who are In
favor of it. it is admitted to be onerous in
the extreme upon the large class'ef honest
taxpayers whom embarrassment has pre-
vented from meeting their obligations to
the city. For the few rich tax shirkers
whom it will affect we have no sympathy;
but we are in favor of the fullest possible
protection of honest but needy men who
have ventured to risk their earnings in
investments in city property. The only
excuse for the acceptance of the bill in this
city is that il is expected tohring vast sums
into the City Treasury. 1t is as clear IS

cannot be achieved, and that If the tax
PAYERS choose TO waste their substance IN
fighting the act rather than have their
homes wrested from them, it must be years
before the city can realize cent from it.
circumstance that viii appeal with singu-
Iar force to the sense of fairness of the
community is that the Act was got through
the Legislature on the false pretence that
it is an exact reproduction of an act that
has accomplished something for Brooklyn,
when, in fact, the clause that softened its
asperities to the Brooklyn taxpayer las
been eliminated from this piece of Jersey
legislation and that IN our local act there
ia nothing of the Brooklyn act left save its
machinery for the confiscation Of the prop
erty of the taxpayers. The act was, in fact,
drawn at the behest of Elizabeth bond
holders clamoling for their pound Of flesh;
and it can have no benefcent operation
except in bankrupt communities. Jersey
CITY is not of the class and in the review
we present on another page, countless rea
sons are presented why it should not be
accepted here. At any rate. enough is
shown to make it wise for this city to wait
to see how it operates elsewhere before it
is tried The TATr1EE proposes next Sun
day morning to present other features OF
the Act to its readers.
