Exemptions and Appropriations.



MEssRs EnIToRS ~ read Your article ON
Exemptions and Appropriations in your
issue OF the 10Th instant and want TO express.
as a taxpayer my hearty appreciation. II
the press throughout the state had the cour-
age of their convictions and would come out
with the plain facts on this question of taxa
ton, and advocate striking out the words
''what may be exempted from all tax bills
before our Legislature, am sure they would
have the approval of all tax payers. 1t is
those that pay no taxes, and those tax dodg-
ing institutions that want to compel the hon
est taxpayer to pay the taxes on all these
private seetarian exempted institutions, that
stand in the way of honest legislation. On
this tax question equality before the law and
no class legislation is what all citizens should
demand. The proposed amendment to the
10Th Article was voted down on account Of
the exemption clause it contained; and yet
our legislative bodies seem determined to
force the exemption features upon us in the
now proposed tax bills in defiance of the
wishes of all honest tax. payers, and in direct
violation of said 18TH Article of our bill OF
rights. CARROLL County TAXPAYER.
