In a more extended shape. It is said
that an old farmer once told his son
"never to go into debt except for fer

ception-to procure good roads.
The plan proposed would require a
constitutional amendment
would have each township organize
into municipality for road purposes.
Then when two-thirds of the taxpay-
ing citizens of township should vote
to tax themselves for road purposes,
the state should furnish an equal
amount. not to exceed in the aggregate
per cent. on the assessed value of the
taxable property of the township. Let
the state issue its bonds ut ) per cent.

bonds.
have made careful inquiry as to the
cost of rock and gravel roads and find
that the cost will not exceed 81. 600 per
mile. Let us illustrate: Say the tax
able assessed value of township prop
erty is $1,000, 900. An indebtedness OF
$4,000 can be created. of which the
state pays S25.OO9 and the township
$3.50 This will build 25 miles OF
road.
AS to the justice and equity of this
proposition, it will be remembered that
the bulk of the recent Indebtedness Of
the state, now SO nearly iquidated
was contracted by loaning the credit od
the state for building railroads; that
the lien was subsequently released

portions not Immediately benefited by

Expected Repo~, on Taxat,on.

The legislative joint committee 20
make inquiry relative to the subject OF
taxation is expected to be ready to re-
port at the meeting of the incoming
legislature. It's professed aim is to more
equitably distribute the burdens OF
taxation, which can not be done by
multiplying the avenues therefor, al
though this is the policy most likely to
be hit upon by shallow and Semagogical
politicians, more anxious to tickle their
constituents than to fathom the true
principles of taxation. We hope the
members Of this committee are excep-
tionallv equipped in this respect, and
will demonstrate statemanship instead
of shallowness in their report
To make a practical advance in the
path Of reform, the committeeman must
recommend simplicity and straightfor-
wardness instead of that complexity
which it willrequire inquisitorial meth
DDS to enforce. The best thing in our
| Judgment for the committee to do is to
advise the abolition of the personal
property tax and the concentration OF
| the burden upon realty. This is the
| fairest tax at present practicable, and
| in its ramifcations will more equitably
and inevitably reach all classes than
any other that can be devised. II

ering the revenues of state, without
bringing themselves into contempt in
the eyes of all intelligent students OF
political economy.
| A great principle is involved in taxa
ton That principle is to give value
received in protection to property for
the assessments enforced. The form OF
property that best adjusts itself to tax
alton, and can compel tribute from
every variety of wealth, is realty.
Land is Indispensable. All humanity
depends upon its fruitage. Every one
who hires dwelling or place of busi-
ness helps to pay taxes There is no
escape from it. And with the enforce
ment of reasonable economics in ad-
ministration taxes could be concen-
trated on real estate without increasing
its burdens.-Troy N. " Press.

TAXATION IN TORONTO.

Question-The People WIN Vote On It
TORONTO, Can, Dec 2-The harmful
results of land booms in this and other
Canadian cities is calling attention
anew to the question of civic taxation
and the mode of levying it. Atpresent
Toronto is suffering very severely from
the collapse of the greatest boom known
in Canada since the Winnipeg collapse
in 1882 Many worxmen have left the
city and the population is either sta
tionary Or retrograding. While the un-
fortunate land specu1ators feel the
change very keenly. all other classes

which in many cases proves com.
mercially fatal The complaint.

hope of restoring the prosperity of the
city. exemption from taxation is offered
TO outside manufacturer But this of
fer has aroused both laboring men and
business men Of all classes, and they in
sist that there shall be no discrimina
ton against them. A change in the as

needed in order to enable the city coun
Gil to exempt labor products and con
fine taxation to land values It is pro
posed to submit this question to th'
electors at the election for the city
council in January:
'Are You in favor of the Legislature

power to reduce or abolish taxation OF
all personal property, including me-
