Railroads and Taxation.

Since taxes are levied for the bene-
fit of the entire state or community,
it is Just and equitable that property
or property owners should be assessed
and pay their share in proportion to
the benefit derived from the protec-
ton accorded by the state or the COM
munity. In the north, wealthy men
have long escaped paying their just
dues by means of collision with cor
rupt officials, thereby throwing the
burden of the support of state and
community upon those less able to
bear it. The injustice of such condi-
lions is apparent; hence the general
demand for an insome tax.
Taxation, to be just and equitable,
should be levied upon the value of the
property as shown by the net revenue
it Yields to it's owner. Thus property
in a city possesses a greater value than
that in the country, because it yields
a larger revenue. AS the city grows
the value of property increases with
the greater demand. 1t is doubtful il
a front foot in the business part Of
New York could be bought for the
present value of lot in Hattiesburg.
Consequently every property owne
is interested in the growth of the cit.
where his property is located. We ar
apt to refer to our place of residenc
as the Magic City on account of it
marvellous yet steady growth, and W
have faith in it's future.
But it is we'll to remember that W
owe this pride in the past and conf
dence in the future to the indomitab
energy of our people and to the tran
portation facilities, one of the Chi
attractions to new settlers. The ra
road corporations in the north arouse
indignation and resentment owing
their contemptuous treatment of the
principal patrons, the people. tt
violent agitation against them was Il
direct result of the naughty corpor
ton sentiment as expressed by o.
magnate in 1.-THE Public Be ID"
This trifling with the sovereign pc
pie was possible only with the conn
ance of the national and state legis
lures. The north has passed throu
a period of corruption to which thu
can be no return, thanks to the reve
lions due to the anti-corporation {
tation; the south has escaped this
of shame.
Recognizing the benefits deri
from transportation facilities, the
legislature of our great state of
sissippi declined-to join the hos
movement toward railroads and in
