The July Taxes.

Al tch nays nOEo tOuu IL DlChey
will again open his tax office for the
reception of taxes. IL is supposed that
his office will be at Delinquent Col
iector Flnck's oiiice. No. slotd Market
street, though it is Just possible that
Mr. Dickey may remove it to some
other place OF SO easy of access to
taxpayers. His new building at Fifth
and Market streets in which he will
have clothing store. will not be I'D
( vaIiced near enough to completion to
enable him TO have part of the tax
ofiicein the fourth story and part in
the basement connected with speaking
tubes, and so it is altogether probable
4 that his Office will be at the place al.
rnnli2 desIgnated. The Levy Court
very convenient and handy
kor him out of their large COM
be room. Wire screens have been
at up and all the protection needed
has been provided for, but though in
the Court House and though much the
more convenient place for both col
lector and taxpayer, it is not at all
probable that Mr.. Dickey will go
there. He is not built in that way.
y But no matter where he may locate
himself, so that he does not altogether
Iock himself in, he will be found by
= the taxpayers and he will be obliged
4 to take their taxes.
Now word to the poll Taxpayers
who are Republicans. They are the
ones who will nave the most trouble
y in paying their taxes, and they should
be constantly on the lookout to en-
- brace the earliest opportunity offered
for paying them. July is the month
4 for Dickoy to sit In Wilmington, and
his hours for every day in the month
will be from to in the afternoon
and from z to s O'Clock in the evening,
except on Sundays and on the Fourth
OF July.
1t will be necessary for every Repub
lican poll taxpayer to go in person tc
The office to pay his taxes. This rule
will not apply to Democratic poll tax,
payers, but this is Mr.. Dickey's idea o.
fairness and impartiality. Democrat:
need lose no time. but Republicans
must. 1t will not do for Republicans
to measure their opportunities by
Democratic opportunities. nor will Il
do for them to wait until their Demo
cratic neighbor goes to pay his take
and then go too. The Democratic
nelghbor will have his tax receipt con
veyed to him in some Kind of quie
manner. He may perhaps have i
handed to him at his tool-bench, o
be may find it under his breakfas
plate In the morning, but the Reput
n iican who expects these little favor
and waits for them to turn up, will re
sadly left There is nothing for hlr
to do but to go to the tm.offfce an
pay his taxes and the sooner lfe goe
In the month OF July tho better.
- There are something like 5000 RI
DablicafE1 blista xabies on tho assess
me1 to pay their taxes i
July, and there are only 25 workin
days for Diekey to sit and receive then
Four hours zach afternoon AMI ever
ing would only make 100 hours. Til
would be sufficient time in which t
pay 1000 poll taxes il there were n
other taxes to pay. But it must nc
IA be forgotten that real estate an
n property taxables will be rushing i
the same month to pay their taxes
order to get the rebate. 1t Will |
necessary then for poll taxables to |
10 line and permit no property taXabl
IN to be given the preference At the Ia
Office is wheie all must stand on a
equality. The man who has less tina
adollar to pay is tue equal before III
law OF the property taxable who hg
hundreds of dollars to pay.
