l0R SYSTEM OF TAXATION


Editor Daily l.ender:--F-om time 20
Time articles appear IN newspapers
and other publications advocating the
Taxation Of bllhoarda IN order TO get
iid OF tie nuisance. Dogs are taxed
With the same idea.
The present system 0f taxation is
hkely 20 Impress one with the Idea
that Rood things are nuisance FOR
do nor we tax houses. personal prop
efly and lah0e products Of every des
criptiong Or at least an attempt Ia
made to DO so This might be iastiha.
bic II there vas no natural source Of
revenue.
For instance. according 10 the 81.
sessed alue Of the land Of Boston
The ground rent Of that city now
amouns to about sb0000.000 q year. u
only hell of this amount were taken
In taxation the taxes on houses, per-
sonal property. etc. could be aDol-
lahed In Boston And this Is true,
also, OF Guthrie,
The necessity for government ana
the value Of land are both the result
Of the presence and activity OF pOpula
tion. The ground rent from one shoald
ba aaed 10 pay the cost Of the other.
The vag to discourage the holding
OF vacant lots for speculation (which
produce the most blllboards) Is 70 tax

CHARGED ON SEVERAL THINGS.
Among Them Was Violation of Fish
Law by Trapping.

The Leader says Judge WorrilI
stressed several things in his charge
to the grand jury of Randolph coun-
ty. He called attention to the game
laws, and said that it had come to
his ears that traps to catch fish con-
trary to law were in some of the
streams in the county. He spoke Of
the prohibition law, and mentined
the fact that, according to current
reports, it is being violated in Cuth-
bert, and urged the jurors to look
into the matter thoroughly. He
stated that the sale of near beer is
permitted by law. If it can be
shown that near beer stands sell in
toxicating drinks the proprietors may
be punished for violating the prOhi-
bitiOn law; if their beverage is non
Intoxicating their business is legal.
