NEW LAN REDUCES
Bank STOCK TAXES.
state Legislature FuIfiIs Biblical
Prophecy.


Trenton, April sth. After long de-
bate to-day the House concurred in Senator
Frelinhuysen's bill which makes radical
change in the system Of taxation Of national
bank stocks.
The bill was attacked by Messrs Martin
and Sullivan, the Republican and Demo-
cratic floor leaders. Mr.. Martin read a
letter from the Mayor and Council OF the
| city Of Salem protesting against its passage.
Opponents Of the measure declared that
| it would greatly decrease the revenue de-
rived from taxation of bank stock.
Mr.. smalley, of Somerset, and other adj
yocates Of the bill said that it only placed
banks in the same position as trust COM
panies in the matter of taxation.
The bill provides that the capital and
surplus of national and State banks in
vested in non-taxable securities shall be
deducted from the aggregate Of the capital
and surplus Of those banks in ascertaining
the assessed valuation Of the-stock.
Public Ledger
This bill, if signed by Governor Fort
(and we understand ii is one Of his pet
measures, as the Buck law was one Of
Governor Stokes) will force City Council
to increase the tax rate ten cents per hun
Jared dollars.
That Is, instead Of Sl.63 the rate will
have to be $1-73 TO make up the deficiency
caused by the reduced tax valuation of the
Salem bank stocks;
The difference in the tax receipts of the
Salem will be between $3, 500 and S., 500
which amount will have to be made up by
an increase in the tax rate.
The Salem City Council held special
meeting last Friday night to take some
measure to prevent the passage Of this bill
in the Assembly, and addressed a protest to
! the Assembly and employed City Solicitor
/ Ware and Lewis H. Miller, OF Viaeland, to
go to Trenton and ask for public hearing
and to enter the protests Of the Mayor and
City Council against the measure. The eff
forts OF the City were unayailing, and the
bill was passed by the Assembly Wednes-
| day. 1t only remains for the signature of
Governor Fort, and about this there is little
uncertainty. s'To him that hath it shall
be given and from him that hath not shall
be taken away even what little he poss-
esseth." [Salem Sunbeam.
As matter OF fact many Of the Trust
Companies in this State pay not dollar Of
tax, aud none of them are heavily assessed,
and it is. on this account that national
banks chafe under what they consider to
be unequal taxation. But it seems to rs
that the legislature could have ''equalizedn
shat phase Of inequitabIe taxation by
providing for a just assessment of Trust
Companies, and thereby not increased, but
lghtened the burden Of government now
placed on real property.

Life, Liberty and Property.

We hear great deal about anarchy now
a-days; aud most people think of it as a
doctrine iustifying murder. But issome-
thing more. 1t really includes socialism.
Property rights, which socialists are seek
ing to destroy, are just as strongly guarded
under our Constitution as lifeitself. Life,
liberty, and property, are protected in the
same sentence and under the same words.
Anarchy consists in hostility to constituted
authority, and Socialism consists in hostility
to property.
