where is the justice of a real estate
owner being forced to pay and the

The answer is perfectly clear. Suppose
1t is unjust to make us pay-we want
to do 1t. Won't you let us? Says some
one, THAT is all right for you city
fellows; we don't want to do it,
well, them" we say, 'don't do it
You pay on what you wish; we will nav

new thing. 1t has been thoroughly
discussed, and to-day no one opposes it
A year ago there were four or five
speakers to oppose it, but they didn't

time there were defects in the bill

a popular demand,>a emand for home
rule. We want to govern our own

we would like to govern our own state

We come here simply to express this
principle, which is democratic in the
sense-that we want not only
that every man should have vote, but
that the interests of every man in these

beginning with himself, going up to his

A Better Reform in TAXATION.

The more sensible plan would be to
abolish all forms of personal taxation.
This is just in principle, and would
prove equitable in its workings and re-
suits. Nearly all personal property,
such as bonds, mortgages and notes,
are but evidences of indebtedness, and
it is entirely unjust that the thing its
self and its shadow should be taxed
simultaneously. To remove the burden
of taxation from personal property.
while it might add little to the bur
den upon real estate, would make
money. more plentiful, more easily to
be obtained, and in this way encourages
men of small means or those depending
upon their daily wages for support, I'd
borrow little capital and invest in s
home of their own. A greater COM
petition would be produced amongst
those having money to loan,aand much
larger results would be obtained in the
way of relief. for men owning small
places Nearly all of them have upon
them mortgage or some other form of
Indebtedness. upon which they are pay
ing high rate of interest, which high
rate is maintained and fostered by an
absurd attempt Of our Legislators to get

The Buffalo Evening News agrees
fully with The journal as to the danger
of high taxes, under which many a lit
tie city is groaning with no hope of re-
lief. Consider these words of the able
News: The Jamestown Journal has
the right idea about taxation, and it
keeps the sentiment continually before
its readers The cry is, Keep down
the rate OF taxation. Low taxation in
an ambitious city is the greatest aie to
prosperity. Manufacturers follow the
low water mark of city taxation. This
is the main attraction for capital-it
seeks investment where taxation is
moderate"

A Plan of Relies

Attention has been called to the act
introduced by Mr.. Durack, entitled
AN act to regulate the collection of
taxes on homestead dwellings not ex-
ceeding fifteen hundred dollars in
value, providiAg the owner shall not
own any other lands in the state of
New York. -~'t
The question of taxation is one that
should be approached with the utmost
caution and with good Judgment and
legislators should proceed slowly in the
matter OF this bill. The principle of
differential taxation is an unsound one.
In the first place we would like to in
quire upon what just rule one mans
valued at $1,000 can be ex.
empted, while his neighbor who hap.
pens to be possessed of place valued at
81, 600 pays his full ratio of the taxes
Which assist ia giving good governments
and making more valuable the holding
OF his fifteen hundred dollar neiyhbor.
While VIC can sympathize with the mo.
tive of those who introduced this bill I'd
legislate in favor of the small property
owners, and while we realize that tho
abnormally fich are Outlines like the
publicans of old--taxgatherers without
conscience or sense-yet any attempt to
discriminate between the rich and thd
poor upon our statute books is entirely
wrong and will utterly fail of its OBJ.

90 MR. WHIeB$x GRAHAM Dear Sir:
i received ycass of the lst inst yester-
day, in which you request me to give
my reasons for wanting the personal
property OF the state to pay its share
OF the taxes
L. because there is no other lust way.
Inc personal (as whole) brings more
interest to its owner than the real
property and requires just as much care
anu expense of government and is
easier to be assessed. Its value is al
ways known, or nearly So while the
reai estate changes materially from
year to year and it is always impossible
TO get at its value.
Because to put the tax all on real
estate will ruin and discourage all the
young ia rmcrs 1t would drive the
farmers nat are Ia debt (which is a
large PEI cent above half out of the
CUISINES the farms would get into tho
nands IT capitalists and trust cempan-
les az ID labor win be performed by
,ore' kncrs and the whole country 90
to r. ain.
o. Now the way to do this thing,
IS to make all personal property taxa
Ale and payable in the districts where
the owner lives; make the stock of all
bnnks, railroads and all companies,
trusts aud combinations of whatsoever
lname or nature taxable and payable In
'the district where the owner lives. But
You will say: companies pay tax on
'saeir business wherever it isl" yes, but
that don't prevent the stock being good
property to its owner and it should be
taxed the same as mortgages and
other loans on real estate. You can see
that this would eQualize the burden
upon all kinds OF property and all
classes of people and help all
classes to take an Interest in good
government ard would encourage
the young farmers to stick to
their business and pay for their farms,
and young mechanics to buy home
and pay for it end start the whole
country on the s>,ad to prosperity.
In hopes you will change your front
ana take iioIS. on this line, remain.
