FAIR AND EQUITABLE TAXATION

From the Philadelphia Record.
If equalization of taxation should be
insisted upon, there is only one way in
which it might be brought about by the
act of the tax-laying power. That way
would be to put tax on incomes, and
to make every man pay in proportion 10
his net yearly profits. 1t is true that no
creature not gifted with omniscience
could ascertain correctly the incomes OF
the people; but any scheme that should
halt short of snch ascertainment would
be on its face both folly and fraud.
1t would put whip in the hand of su-
thority to scourge honesty, and allow
rogues TO go free.
Taxes laid upon property in sight
which cannot be hidden nor removed.
and upon objects necessary to the life
and convenience of the community, NAV
be easily and fairly collected, and in the
end will be properly distributed There
could be no other fair and equitable tax
alton.

One of the Alliance schemes in this
state is to build railroad across the
state and lateral lines or branches from
the main line to every county seat in the
state. Big as the scheme looks. it is as
child's play beside one concocted down
in Texas. As is known the state holds
several millions dollars in school funds.
and now the state Alliance proposes to
use this fund to construct a railroad
from Galveston to some point on the
Pacific coast in Oregon.

Protestant monk who has so stirred up
New York with his pathos and eloquence.
He is said 70 be DESTROYS of visiting this

and he would not be permitted, 1t IS
thought, to preach III any Episcopal church
in Virginia.
One of the most prominent citizens of
Richmond recently received letter from
lady requesting him TO invite Father Ig-
natius to come here as his guest and to get
the pastor Of one of the largest Episcopal
churches to allow the monk to speak in his
pulpit, but no action has been taken nor IS
it likely that any will be. The Father Is
preaching in New York under authority Of
Bishop Potter, of the Long Island diocese.
