Sir: read your article in this mornings Tribune
I'm regard to unjust taxation It you write
a strong article on the unjust taxation OF personal
property but when real estate IS in question YOU
hardly notice f. / think you are very unjust. and
cannot see why personal property should be ex-

why you should consider it right to unjustly tax

real estate | cannot conceive.
( agree with you that the personal tax law Is not

THE trouble with the strong laws is that
they attempt the impossible. and, In effect. would
simply drive personal property out Of the state
or into non-taxabie securities in the cases
which it most desired to reach, while ncreas-
ing the burden the few. mostly OF small
property who cannot thus escape. The ques-
ton Is not one OF the comparative Justice o,
personal and real estate taxation. The first
principle - taxation Is to levy only on prop
