discourage industry and commerce. Thus,
in the case of direct tax, small properties
should be exempt from 1t, because most fire.
Quently they do not suffice for the essential

In the case of an indirect tax, it should

A tax should never be levied in such a

such way as to invite perjury. AS an ex-
ample of the latter may be mentioned the
oath demanded of all passengers entering
the port OF New York.

TWO VITAL TOPICS
Discussed by Able Minds Through
the Peoples Medium.
THE QUESTION OF TAXATION
As Advocated in New Platform and Viewed
by a Thinker.
FREIGHT RATES AND RAIL ABUSES

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
This association, knowing the high es-
teen in which Rt. Rev. John j. Keane' s
economic opinions are held, wrote to him
for his views on the platform herewith. As
it will be of interest to your readers, we
submit the platform and his reply, which
has been coincided in by 81 other college
professors.
NEW YORK TAX REFORM Assn.
BOLTON HALL, Secretary.
The following is the platform of our as
sociation:
!. The most direct taxation is the best, be-
cause it gives to the real payers of taxes a
conscious and direct pecuniary interest in
honest and economical government.
p Mortgages and capital engaged in pro-
duction or trade should be exempt from tax
alton: because taxes on such capital tend to
drive it away, to put premium on dishon-
esty and to discourage industry.
8. Real estate should bear the main burden
of taxation: because such taxes can be most
easily, cheaply and certainly collected. and
because they bear least heavily on the farmer
and the worker.
4. Our present system of levying and col
lecting State and municipal taxes is ex-
tremely bad, and spasmodic and unrefiect-

before the great public jury by means OF the
Forum or any other agency which could
trpnsmit his "plea" to the thinking portion
ofthat jury. They are the ones that bring
| in the verdict The gentleman ably exhibits
his power as pleader by so mixing the
mass of his argument with truths which are
with tears Of respect for invested capital or
rights, that he molds n presentable object,
which may become vita1ized into q moloch
of oppression under his and kindred hands,
If not carefully analyzed by public spirited
Journals. That quota of analysis may be
contributed by one of this great national
jury and expressed to his fellows through
your pages Is the writer's apology for in
truding this paper upon your notice.
A fact accepted SO universally as to clothe
it in the color of right, is that there are
matters Of public economy ya which W are ,. "prl-
nize industrial pursuits and domestic econ
omy as private, subject to public regulation:
the governmental machinery, State and ma
lation by ballot, coupled with the idea that
equal opportunity shall be given to alI-par
tiality to none. Carrying out this idea is the
public schools and the establishing of the
postal system of distributing mail with dis
tance eliminated. Mr.. Walker takes the
transportation is "private' enterprise,
whereas it is just as much "public enter
prise'' as is the postal department of our
nation. The postal department. has wisely
made self-sustaiDing, and every man in the
nation, rich or poor. and wherever To-
Gated, whether buying one stamp or
million, has to pay like amount

American equality in opportunity has been
the result of growth, just as will he brought
about growth of knowledge in transit and
telegraphic communication.
Fortunately for the masses and perpetuity
Of democratic ideas, from want Of tonnage
and opportunity to make money by its priv
ate manipulation and control OF postal serv-
ice; out Of it has grown that principle of
equalities and averagewhich enables the pub
lie school books, entitled newspapers, and let
ters to spread like rays of sunshine all over
this nation. The railway managers demon

power to build up or destroy business CEN
ters. AS the result of an effort to correct
the abuse of means Of transit, the interstate
commerce law was enacted. True to their
bigot nature the railway managers have, in
most cases, defied openly or covertly these
laws, and instead OF helping to. find
solution ,rs. to the question Of Ie
money and Misrepresentation to restore
the old order of things by endeavoring to
make the law imperative and odions and
get public sentiment for the repeal OF this
law.
The vast pooling of the railways contrary
to law, but natural to legitimate transporta-
tion, and the call for observance of rules of
''competition," or, as Mr.. Walker Justly
terms it, war is causing heads of traffic
departments serious trouble, and may teach
these railway managers that honesty is the
best policy'' and that life and protection to
transit demand recognition of equality in
opportunity to all by II fiat rate eliminating
distance. "The laDorer is worthy of his hire"
and competition should not be allowed in
transportation and communication. 1t
should be conducted on basis of worth of
service value, as shown by the results of

mated. The interstate commerce re-
ports of 1889 (the last statistical report
at handy shows some remarkable data.
For instance the average haul of ton
mage for the whole nation was one hundred
twenty-seven and thirty-six hundredths
miles. The average gross revenue per ton
per mile was nine and twenty-five hun
dredths mills. Multiply these data and we
find that had distance been eliminated from
calculation 81 10 per ton, or less than five
and nine-tenths cents per leo pounds, was
the average revenue the railways put upon
tonnage of freight. Bear in mind this is
gross charges, and includes revenue for bet
terment of roads, operating expenses, inter
est on bonds and dividends upon stock, al
lowing the passenger service and charges to
be just as it was
That the revenues of freight have been
based upon the greatest amount possible to
be allowed to pool, but be compelled to pool
and eliminate distance. and not be allowed to
charge more than cents per 100 pounds for
any and all tonnage any distance. This to

ing tinkering with it is unlikely to result in
substantial improvement.
D. No Legislature will venture to enact q
good system of local taxation until the peo-
pie, especially the farmers, perceive the cor.
rect principles of taxation and see tue folly
OF taxing personal property.
Therefore, We desire to unite our efforts,
in such ways as may secAadvisable, to keep
up intelligent discussion and agitation OF
the subject OF taxation. with a view to i'm.
provement in the system and enlightenment
as to the correct principles.
Here is Rt. Rev. John J. Keane's reply:
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA.
WASHINGTON, d. C., Dec. 8, 1891.
Mr.. Bolton Hall, Secretary of New York Tax Re-
form Association.
DEAR SIR-ln answer to your inquiries I
offer the following views, with the distinct
understanding, however, that 1 present
them simply as the expression of my own in.
div1dual opinions.
The question of taxation is so complex
ana so difffcult, as well as so important, that
any association established with the view of
Studying it in disinterested way cannot
fail to be exceedingly useful The end
toward which all efforts should tend is to
make the taxes at the same time as light
upon the citizens, as profitable to the State,
as equftably distributed, and as inexpen-
slvely and honestly collected as possible.
freely admit that in general the direct
tax is preferable to the indirect. The latter
Is more likely to cripple industry, to i'm
pede commerce, to decrease the prosperity
of the workman, and to open up avenues for
dishonesty. 1t is, however, to be remarked
that when any tax, whatever it may be, has
been for long time established. things are
sure to so adjust themselves that everyone,
directly or indirectly, will bear a portion
fit
Should direct tax fall on land. or in
comes, or on capitaR Without pronouncing
definitely upon this question, 1 recognize
that the tax should not strike the agents of
e. G., live stock, trees, steam
engines, in a word the capital engaged in
but rather the proceeds obtained
from it, not the gross but the net proceeds.
Whatever be the nature of the tax, it
should be proportioned to the resources of
the citizens; it is even desirable that it
should be progressive: it should never be
