We. know of but one kind of tax that
will do Justice TO US. and that is an in
ternal tax on articles OF luxury and on
incomes, all other forms have always
borne and always Will bear heaviest on

senators in congress stand by the Chi
cago platform and make up the def
cheney by taxing incomes.
Merchants Reply.
Any tax that will tighten the burden
on consumption will benefit us. While
in a business point of view we live from
the profits ON the sale OF goods, this is
regulated by certain per cent. which is
added to their cost hence it will make
no difference which way the wind blows,
excepting that cheaper goods will in
duce. greater consumption and hence pro-
duce larger business.

FEE AND SALARY LAW.
An Important Decision Expected from
Judge Gillette at Crown Point.

CROWN POINT, Feb. 26.-Special.--
Judge Gillette tomorrow will render de-
cision upon the fee and salary law Of
this state.
Treasurer McCay sued Recorder Krost
in the Lake circuit court ten days ago 10
compel him TO record a deed for 81 that
Recorder krOst wanted Sl.25 for record
ing. and upon his refusal TO do the work
for the sum offered him suit was at
once brought agains; him.
The recent lengthy decision rendered
by Judge McCabe of the supreme court
was in regard To the fees OF the sheriffs
Of the state. and the present suit is
brought for the purpose of getting de-
cision In regard to the salaries of treas
urers recorders and auditors.
The new fee and salary law curtails
the fees of all our county officials from
50 900 10 5000 per year. hence there is
a good deal of anxiety regarding de-
cision bearing upon the salaries of the
other county officials.
