The taxpayers under such circum-
stances have all they can carry on
their shoulders, and general in
crease in taxation would be unjust
and unwise. If the treasury. must
have money and if the expenses of the
government cannot be reduced,
through the powerlessness of the
administration, then give us
graduated income tax.

The p. B. M. regrets that there is
a constant howl regarding taxes and
stability Of government. He evil
IDENTIFY is one of the howlers because
he admits that the taxes are INSULT
cient, that the financial status is
unsound and advocates a con-
tinuance OF the proposed increased
rates if "the government is not more
stable two years hence than it is
now"

There can be no doubt that an
attempt will be made to pass an
act increasing The taxes in the next
Legislature. And there is no doubt
that the taxpayers, the maj GRITTY of
whom to-day can hardly make both
ends meet, will heartily resent such
a measure. 1t is true that there has
been no direct increase in the rate
OF taxation during the last year,
but it is also fact that property
has been assessed at much higher
rate of valuation than formerly.
That is certain class Of property
belonging to certain class of peo-
pie is. The powers forbid that the
planters pockets should be touched.
We have seen instances this year
where a piece of land purchased a
few months ago for 500 has been
assessed at $500, and land worth
$1100 has been valued by the
assessor at $500. Numerous other
instances have come under our OBJ
servation and will presumably be
aired before the Tax Appeal Board.
We do not comprehend how the
tax-assessor arrives at his figures of
valuation, but we should imagine
that piece Of land bought at pub
lie auction to-day for 800 is only
worth 500, until it has been i'm
proved and so increased in value.

England He had been interested in a
tobacco plantation in Virginia with a
brother, but the venture had been unsuc-

never been employed except for short
time with a railroad company. 1t Is the
opinion Of the mans fri ands that Cham
berlan's suicide was induced by the fact
that he had become short of funds. though
no one had heard him complain OF any
thing of the sort Information in regard
to his past life was made more difficult
to obtain by the fact that Friday night
