THE PROPOSED TAXATION AMENDMENT.
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The proposition reported by the Taxation
Committee OF the Constitutional Convention on
August 20. to amend the Constitution to pro-
hibit the Legislature from hereafter exemptng
any property class OF property. except such is
now expressly exempted by the statutes OF this
State" is fraught with grave danger to the pros
perity OF these cities
The recognition by the people of New-York Of
the utterly farcical attempt to tax personal prop
erty and of the great advantages which would
surely flow from its abolition has inspired the
attempts during recent sessions Of the Legislature
to secure home rule In local taxation. through what
is known the Ainsworth bill. Should the pro-
posed amendment be engrafted upon the Consti.
tuition OF the State. 1t would mean that the bust
interests OF this city. which have confidently
expected that the coming session OF the Legs-
lature would pass the Home Rule Tax bill. are
absolutely shut OFF OFF from all hope OF any inn
proyement In the methods of raising our local
taxes for twenty years 10 come.
Unless they regard this prospect with eqpanimity
a strenuous protest should be made to The con-
venton against the adoption OF any such amend
ment
The present Constitution contains no such pro.
vision. and to insert 1t now would INDICATE 9
retrograde step. which sure the intelligence
of the people of the State is opposed TO-
