Per Capita.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Per capita. as a legal term, had origi-
nal application to the equal division Of
an inheritance by heads. persons, or num-
bers, among heirs Of equal degree, and is
so used. properly. to-day. 1t is also used
properly in other cases where the same
meaning, or a similar one, is intended,
as IN the imposition Of an equal tax on
persons or course 1t is often improperly
used, as other terms and words are,
whether OF dead or living languages. That
the phrase. per capita. is freely rendered
into by the head" or "a head" makes
no difference as to the propriety of per
! capita Itself as an original term properly
employed.
l have no quarrel with per caput, II
anybody wishes To- invent or use a new
| term, having a different sense from the
| true one Of per capita; and | confess
| that, having left my Latin grammar a
very long time ago, I too hastily con-
! cluded, on looking into n Latin VoCabu-
| larry and seeing that the Eenitve of caput
was capitis it had its accusative singular
| ending in em-aS STRIPS has. But that
| does not affect the point as to the RICH,
sense and use Of per capita. +.
