"Lesaiized Pantata" System.

To the Editor Of the Herald:
The income tax scheme is a legalizeC
"Pantata" system. OF course, the re
turns made by citizens to the taxing
officials will be secure from any other
scrutiny.
The municipal assessors will not be
permitted by any accident, to know
what they contain (?), but if the reve
nue. collector or his deputy should not
be satisfied with the return as made by
the citizen, and therefore cites the
maker to submit his books and affairs
to an official investigation, will such
investigation be a star chamber pro
ceeding? Well, l opine not, for the
abuses and prosecutions resulting
would be intolerable.
Open investigation will, on the other
hand, expose the affairs of the tax
payer to the scrutiny of the municipal
assessor, who must then perforce levy
a tax equal to about a fortyper cent.

A Sermon OH Dogs and Dox Taxes.


Having served foul days as deputy
collector of our town feel more than
ever convinced that there is something
wrong about manner of collecting
the taxes on dogs. The collectors
warrant orders him to collect the tax
it is Neutrality-suspicious. not leave it tc
him to judge as to the justice of the
tax, Or whether the man has, or had a
dog Or not, and the consequence is the
collector has to undergo a colloquy
with the taxpayer something like this:
Am taxed for a dog?' Yes" 81
have not got a dog" Did you not
have n last summer" mo, Igave
him away last spring. or possibly,
"My neighbor has one and hs is over
playing with the children half the
time or "a friend brought his dog
with him, when he came to visit me for
a few weeks" | reply, Il arr sorry,
but have no option in this natter
Then they commence abusing the as
SCISSORS: he ought to have known they
had no dog, etc. If abuse woufi help
a man to everlasting bliss, l know of
no one who would have more assist
ance than an assessor or collector.
Now a short sermon to the man with
out a dog may be in order:
My friend, did you inform the asses
o last spring that you had parted with
your dog, which he had seen with you
for years? If you had sold half of your
farm, Or one of your houses, you would
have made a special trip to his housc to
avoid being taxed for it; did you tell
him about the departed dog?
When the assessors advised you by
notice in the public press, THAT they
had completed the assessments and the
books were left with Mr.. A or Mr.. 3"
for you, or any one else, to examine:
and if you found anything wrong they
would listen to your grievance anc
correct any errors, did you go and ex
anime the books? If you did not YOU
have no case, as ignorance of a law is
no excuse. The assessors have done
their duty-for little pay and mucF
abuse. You have neglected your OPP
p%ortunity for redress, now pay up and
don't kick, and in future see to you,
assessment yourself. Assessors are on
ly men, and SO liable to make mis-
takes. They are not like you and me,
of course we never forgot a thing in
our lives Or made a mistake, at least
you have not, as for me l made one,
that was when 1 thought / could col
lect taxes, and give satisfaction. l sup
pose you may think me Il crank, but
you must know that it is a very neces>
sary part of machinery and perhaps
the want of it may be the reason of
the expense and friction of running
our town for the past few years.

better class of COuncilmen. AS there
will be no offices to give away, and no
salary attached to the position, there
will hardly be such a scramble as here
tofore for the position of Councilman
and the position will be given to men
who want to serve for the borough's goo

sake. 1 do not wish to make it appear
that such men are not now in Council. Far
