The so-called Direct Tax bill passed the
House as amended Oh the 24th instant, by
vote of Iz2 to IoI. The bill as 1t now goes
to the President provides for crediting and
paving to the several States and Territories
and lhe District of Columbia, all moneys col
lected under the direct tax levied by the Act
Of Congress approved August S, 1861. The
amendment which was tackled on by the
House calls upon the Legislatures OF the
States to be benefited to take action for the
receipt of the money before it is transferred.
The provisions of the bill in substance are
as follows
That the Secretary of the Treasury shall
credit each State and Territory and the DIS
trict of Columbia with a sum equal to all
collections by oforotherwise made under
the terms of the Direct Tax act of 1861. That
all MONEYS still due the United States under
the requirement of that act are RENTED.
sufficient sum of money to reimburse the
States and Territories ior the collections
under the Direct Tax is appropriated to be
paid when the Legislature shall have ac-
cepted the sums in full satisfaction on ac-
count of the levy. Money appropriated 10
meet individual claims is to be held in trust
by the State authorities. SIX years Deihg at
lowed for the reception of these claims. Pay
meut is also to be made to the owners OF
lands in st Helena and ST. Pukea Parishes
in South Carolina, that were sold under the
operations of tile Direct Tax Act.
The bills taxes SI5,7oo,ooo out OF the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated. Inc
Direct Tax was levied upon 45 states and
territories. OF these states thirty paid up
in full and will be entitled to receive the
quota demanded from each in 1901. The re-
naming States, being all ID the South ex-
cept Washington and the Territory OF Utah
which paid nothing, returned only part OF
the amount levied.
The State of New York will receive the
largest amount of money under the proVis-
ions of this bill The levy for that State was

The Sussex Commission Bill

The Sussex Commission bill, prepared by
A. P. Robinson, E. L. Martin and w. F.
Causev. Esqs., possesses at least the merits
of brevity and simplicity. It does not con-
template minority representation or the
Crawford county system of vot ng, though
the men who drafted it are personally favor
able to both, but they were uncertain as to
how the people of Sussex-to whom the
prospect government by commission is novel
would feel towards such provisions. Fol
lowing IS a synopsis of the bill:
Section 1 abolishes the levy court and
vacates all appointments and elections by
the same since February Ist, including
county treasurer, collectors, trustees of the
poor. constables and other officers.
Section 2 provides that the levy court
shall hereafter be composed of FIVE commits
sioners, who shall be ireeholders. The gov
ernor shall appoint the first board upon the
passage Of this act, to serve until the FIRST
Tuesday in February, 1893, or until their
successors are chosen and qualified. Their
successors shall be chosen by the county at
large at the next general election, vacancies
occurring in the meantime shall be filed by
the governor. Each commissioner shall
receive $500 salary. II a commissioner re-
moves from the county or ceases to be a
freeholder therein his office shall become
Section makes it the duty Of the pres
ent levy court, upon the passage ofthis act,
forthwith to deliver up to the clerk Of the
peace all books, documents, records, papers
and other county property, and the clerk OF
the peace shall deliver the same over to the
commissioners at theft first meeting The
clerk Of the peace is made clerk of the new
board. The commissioners shall have the
same regulations as the levy court.
Section 4 provides that the commissioners
appointed by the Governor shall meet at the
court house in Sussex on the first Tuesday
after their appointment and proceed to or.
ganize; three members constituting a quo
rum, They shall at their FIRST meeting elect
county treasurer, collectors, trustees Of the
poor and other officers whose term have
been vacated by this act
Section S provides that on the first day
of Aprii next all funds in the hands of the
present county treasurer shall be immedi
ateiy transferred to the county treasurer
appointed by the board, and all balances o
taxes settled and determined by the lev
court as due from the several collectors shal
be paid to the county treasurer as aforesaid
on or before a day to be appointed by tb'
commissioners. IN default of such transfe
the commissioners shall have full power ane
authority to proceed on the official bonds o
such treasurers and collectors, and in cas-
of full payment thereof the commissioner
shall have authority to order satisfaction
be entered on the bonds, and said oficia
bonds are hereby declared to remain am
continue in full force and effect until all liz
biiity hereunder shall be fully discharged
