An Early Citizen of Kenosha Dies.

John T. Shepherd, a well known citi-
zen here in early times, died in Washing
ton city on Thursday, the fifth of this
month, aged IS years. He came to Keno
sha in 1899 No citizen here was better
known than the subject of this mention.
Soon after making his home here he mar
ried Miss Stebbins for his second wife.
His business was miscellaneous. but he
was always found in useful employment.
He was foremost in all reformatory move
ments and ready to speak in gatherings of
the people for the furtherance of whole
some measures. He was a Methodist and
a good specimen of the earnestness of that
people in early times. When he was
present at prayer, conference or temper
ance meeting, his voice was sure to be
heard opportunity offered Hechanged
his residence from this place to Winnet-

Years later he went to Washington, where

payers have paid yet 1t is one of the
peculiarities of our system of direct taxa
ton that the large. concerns that make
the most money, the largest percentage
on capital invested and the capitalists
who care little abont the hundreds and
thousands of dollars spent in luxurious
living are taxed at ridiculously low val
uations while the poor man and the man
in moderate circumstances are taxed
right up TO one half or two thirds of the
valuation of the little property they
possess and their meagre wages or iIf-
comes, which barely suffice to keep their
families and educate their children, to
say nothing of luxuries are diminished
by the full tax, which by just SO much
diminishes both present comfort and fu-
ture chances of the struggling poor.
There are some figures on the treasurers
books that have a tendency to make
man think. 1t is different thing to pay
taxes out of your bread and butter from
paying them out of accumulated thous-
ands, and justice would demand that the
rich and luxurious should pay taxes
on the same proportion of the value of
their property that the poor man does on
his This is especially SO when the poor
mans property is not paid for and hence
not really his Mortgaged property
should be taxed on the basis of the
ownership. To tax the mortgage and to
tax the property covered by the mortgage
is loading the poor, struggling classes
with a double burden.
