AS TO OFFSETS.

This paper took a stand early in opposi-
tion to the recommendation Of the special
tax commission that the privilege Of on
set for debts owing should be abolished.
Now that Governor Prouty has en-
dorsed the idea, and bills are already in
to carry it into effect, We stiIl oppose it,
believing such change in the tax laws
would result in adding injustice to injus-
tice, as it relates to debtors, and by in
creasing their burden would tend to the
general i'll.
Neither the tax commission nor Gov
ernor Prouty claims that the proposition
is right in theory, or based on correct
principles. In fact, the governor admits
''that in theory ii is not absolutely cor
rect" but both maintain that in practice
it would "come nearer being Just and
equitable to the whole body Of taxpayers
than the present law"
Nobody ever commended that the pres
ent Law was either perfect in theory, or
that it worked even q near approach to
justice and equality in operation. But,
bad as it is, it can be made worse. and
this viii be shown when the proposed
change goes into effect and every debtor
is virtually taxed on all his debts, as
though it were free property.
The chief contention OF the advocates
of change is that the Offset privilege Is
abused; that people magnify their debts
in order to extinguish, as far as they can.
their taxable property; that merchants,
especially. place orders for goods about
April LIST and claim to be owing for them
before they are received and subject to
taxation, and that the grand list is de-
pleted BY these and other means to the
extent Of several million dollars, thus in
creasing the tax rate at the expense of the
honest people who actually pay on what
they have.
1t will not be denied that such abuses
do exist, and that the grand list ia mate
rally affected thereby. But what stems
do we take to prevent the abusesP All.
