CoMBGNATGON OF POSTAL EMPLOYEES.
The pQStollice department has informa-

the department. This order was issued
last June and directed that by May /,

should remove TO some point along the
line of the route on which he was en-
ployed. This was unsatisfactory to some
OF the clerks and they obtained legisla-
ton overruling the order

Mr.. ErIToR:--Your editorials In your
issue OF the 18th Inst. explains what the
New Cnstle Tax Reform Club hus been
trying to show tho Leglslature-thati is
that the taXo5 levied OF houses arc not
t1Xes on rich Investors but taxes ON poor
house users.
You may be surprised to know chat
Prof. IL. n. Thompson In his secture on
taxation. which yon report In tho same
ISSUE denied this fact ami eiaimud that
the tnx was paid by the house.owner. and
not by the house user,
Ii Is very extraordinary that political
economist with the reputation that Prof.
Thompson has should mako such an ab.
surd statement as this. There are of
course exceptional cases where tho tenant
does not pay the tax. but 1t is manifest
that there must be exceptions TO the rule.
Does the professor Imagine that II take
on houses were gradually raised to 10
Per cent. OF thcir value per annum that
no raise In rents would occur2
The idea oil the bill to exempt from tax.
alton all buildings and improvements
upon real estate In New Castle Is that tile
tax OIL buildings must act the same as u
tax on liquor. tobacco &c., that Is. to re.
strict the use OF them. Now for the wei.
fare of the people, IL Is not desirable that
the supply of houses should be restricted
nor that men should have to take poorer
houses than they otherwise would. There.
fore abolish this tax; make honos free
from taxation: encourage men to own
their own homes and to beautify thom as
much as possible. You can't do this by
lining them for building or beautifging a
home
Now, MIR. Editor. sinee you see SO plain
ly the incidence oil this tax. won't you
lend us your valuable aid to abolish the
tax III New Castle. The bill Is now in the
hands OF the Committee on Municipal
CORPORATIONS. Advise them to paSs IL.
And 1t would be good for Wilmington as
well as for New Castle. would it notr
