TAX AMENDMENT
Power to Classify Property the
ORly Remedy Found.
RESULTS OF SEVERAL ATTEMPTS

Present Ohio System Full of Imprac-
liabilities Is the Verdict of Every
Person and Commission That Has
Investigated the Subject With a
View to Rsmedyng Existing Evils.
The uniform rule of taxation re-
Quired by the state constitution adopt
ed In 1851 never has been and never
can be enforced according to its letter.
This fact has been recognized by
every person who has intelligently
studied the subject with an unpreju-
diced mind More than this, it has
forced acknowledgment from many
honest but prejudiced minds by the
force of its truth.
Every person, organization and Off
ctRl tax commission set to the task of
studying Ohio's system of state and
local taxation, with the view of expos
ing its evils and discovering remedies
for such evils, has reached an identi-
cal conclusion. The evils are the re-
cult Of attempts to enforce an imprac-
tisabie rule. The remedy is to classify
property for taxation so that subjects
in each class can be dealt with justly.

ING FOR CLASSIFICATION.
Submitted in 1881

KILL THE NIGHT RIDERS,
Says Gov. WillsOn.--Says Men
Should be Shot When
Making an Attack.

New York, April 4.--Gov. Augustus
e. Wilson, of Kentucky, in a letter
written to a friend in this city and
made public to-day, expressed some re
markably vigorous views regarding the
outrages committed by night riders
in the tobacco districts of Ken
lucky. The letter, in part, follows;
1.-THE men mixed up in the night
rider tobacco business are towards
and criminals, and should be killed
when making attacks, and should be
put in the penitentiary when detected
after attacks. / do not believe in
palaverIng and smoothing over pen
itentiary crimes that destroy liberty.
THE organization is most dangerous.
1t is a secret, oath-bound organization,
where only a small group know each
other and different groups do not know
who are in the other ones, and the
head of the organization has the pow
er of life and death over the members,
and 1t has spread like wild-fire.
There are thousands OF members
of this concern, but there is no COM
promize with them. They will be
brought to book. The matter will
come out all right, not by neglect
or liberation, but by mercilessly
following up, attacking and Destroy
ing this organization"
