A Wood county farmer, or some one
for him. probably an ingenius newspaper
reporter, advances new idea about the
tax commissions report. He is ten.
ant farmer, that is, one who rents or
leases farm, and he claims that it is
such as he who pays the tax He thinks
that he landlord himself ought to pay
it, and asserts that the proposed sys-
ten in that connection is very much like
the old English idea of exempting the
landlord and making the tenant farmer
and the poor man pay it, The idea is
original at least, as it has never been
suggested before. There is something
in it worthy of reflection, and the idea
ought to be developed 50 as to see what
there is in it anyway.
