Common Sense.
be taxed

The first state to adopt the system OF
taxing real estate will reap a harvest OF
profit and prosperity. 1t will assist In
dustry because it win have the effect OF
discouraging the mossback and wnrt
who hold land out of use for purposes
of speculation. 1t will cheaper the val
ues of vacant land and encourage the
erection of mills, factories, warehouses,
residences, business houses and inn
provements of all kinds. 1t will de-
crease interest charges because it will
free the circulating medium from use.
less burdens 1t will increase the earn.
ings of producers and wage-workers.
No farmer can glance at this question
and oppose it. as it promises him the
greatest benefit, relief from the bur.
dens of unequal and unjust taxation. -
East Oregonian, Pendleton, Oregon.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1893-02-25
The Case in a Nutshell.

The practical effect of many CT our
taxation laws is to drive property out
of the state and prevent the develop
ment of property in the state. Many
manufacturers have been moved to New
Jersey and elsewhere because of our
wrong-headed tax laws, and many GER
tificates of wealth are held outside the
state to escape the tax laws
If this association can do anything to
systematic the tax laws or bring then,
nearer to scientific basis, the state
should be very much obliged to them.

Tax Cranks.

Canada, as we'll as New York, is af-
der the dclusion that the way to make
people happy is to multiply the meth
DDS of taking them. One Hackett is of
this type, and he introduced bill to
tax mortgages in addition to the tax on
property. In describing the effects OF
this measure to ''relieve" the poor, the
Montreal Witness says: "Supposing the
taxation to be cent and half on the
dollar, it would reduce the income from
six per cent. mortgages by quarter,
and five per cent. mortgages by nearly
a third, or, in other words, tax the wild
ows, orphans, or curmudgeons, as the
case may be, from a quarter to third
of their whole estate. This would, OF
course. only last so long as the present
mortgages run. AS soon as they termi-
mated money that is worth five per cent.
would certainly be no longer invested at
three and half. Either the borrower
would have to pay the extra one and
half, or the money would go elsewhere.
What then would be the effect in the
long run? The poor borrower, whose
necessities have forced him to pledge
his farm or his house, would have to
pay double taxes thereon, or see it pass
out of his hands," 1t is about time poor
borrowers dissected these mischievous
schemes of taxation, and discovered the
hypocrisy of those who pose as friends
of the poor, man, while pushing such
bad tax bills. Mortgages should not
be taxed.

YOUR HEALTH.

The citadel of life must be guarded
at two points. In the first place there
is the danger of taking cold. We take
cold through the skin and this affects
the kidneys and the lungs. So init
mately are these organs connected,
that a cold affects both. In order to
relieve the system, both should be
treated, or rather the whole system
should be regulated. This is done by
Reds German Cough and Kidney
Cure. 1t acts as a stimulant and re-
stores the organs to action. The
other weak spot is the digestion.
When the food does not digest, it ac-
cumulates and causes fever, sickness
and death. The Laxative Gum Drops
will remove all waste material from
the system and do it without pain or
gripping. Ask your druggist for these
remedies and see that he gives them
to you.

Farmers Are Handicapped.

The present method of taxation is Sc
we're on the farmers. Their personal es-
tate is taxed to a greater amount pro-
po.'tionately than is the city
tax payer. For instance, in
1890. Oneida county's assessed
valuation of real estate was s4+, 4s2, 729
and her personal estate was s4,2l9,66s;
that is to, say, for every 500 of taxes
raised by Oneida county, slL54 was
paid out of personal estate, while in
New York county-which is taken as an
illustration because it is wholly city
only 1874 out of every 500 raised was
paid by personal estate. Examination
will no doubt show that in your county
the same state of affairs prevails, the
purely agricultural portion of the
county paying more on personal estates
than the cities or villages.
The reason why this is so must be
latent to everyone. In the cities
wealth is hard to ind, or, if found "a
accurately value; and again, it is held
in such forms that it easily es'
capes the eye of the assessor, es'
pecially If the owner concludes to hide
it No one knows what his neighbor il
worth. In agricultural districts the
very reverse is true. There, personal
property is all out of doors; besides ev
ery one in the immediate vicinity know:
what his neighbor is worth. A farmer
can not purchase a clock without TIT
neighborhood knowing ell about 1t, ant
what. 1t cost him The Assessor. y

A Clear Case.

Any system of taxation that cripples
business in New York, or drives capital
away, will lower rents, while system
that promotes prosperity will increase
the rental value of land far beyond the
amount of increased taxes on land and
houses proposed by the promoters OF
this new movement. Hence, in asking
that all taxes shall be levied on real
estate, real estate people are not pro-
posing any sacrifice of their own inter.

Taxing Shares.

Taxation should be distributed as
nearly as possible in such fashion as
to take from each one for public pur-
poses in direct proportion to the advan-
tages he derives from the public. II
one were looking around for an ideal
object of taxation, one would endeavor
to find some desirable thing belonging
to all. and would tax each individual
for his share in the use of such desira'
BILE object Land is such an object.
