Nolan bill would levy a direct tax up
3On certain classes of property, the char:
5acter Of that property placing 1t with
IN or without the taxing power. 1t isi
"a direct atax which cannot be "appor-s
toned among the several states---S ac-
cording to their respective numbers
of people, because all the people do not
own land and the proportion who do
own land compared with those who do,
not is not the same among, the several
states. Less than 5 per cent of the
population of Rhode Island own land.
Thus IS per. cent Of the numbers" in
that state would escape direct taxa
ton of land. In the Eleventh congress.
sienal district Of Iowa the proportion
On this basis 20 per, cent would escape
taxation against 95j per cent in Rhode
Island. The theory OF the constitution
was that any direct tax should bear
equally upon all citizens; that none
should be exempt by Limitation of law.
Therefore, the whole proposition in
volved In the Nolan bill falls to the
ground until constitutional amend
ment to the federal constitution can be
submitted to and ratified by the states
Of the union providing that land shall
be specially taxed by the general gov
eminent. The inequity as well as the
iniquity of the bill Is shown in the fact
that it would levy a tax against the
man who invested his money in lands
and who labored to produce the food
upon which the rest of mankind. as
well as thef agricultuEist, can survive,
while the man who invested his money
in a mercantile or Industrial enterprise
would be exempt. though, he may have
as much INTRINSIC. property as the one
who owns the farm. ~ Sioux City Jour.

Hon. w C. Taylor,
Mayor OF Wilmington.
The High Cost Of Living Committee /
appointed by you last December has
endeavored TO work along the lines eX- !
pected. that is to see II the reputation /
that has been spread broadcast through /
out the country that Wilmington peo- :
pie are being charged more for food I
supplies than the people Of any other ,
city was true, and begs TO make the I
following report.
While we could secure very little
evidence from purchasers IN Whining
ton, we have learned by a comparison
OF prices in this and other cities that
nearly everything costs more in VII
mington than il does nearby The mem
bers OF the committee have visited and
written to many cities 10 secure the
data that would enable them 10 come
TO some decision Purchasers made
many complaints. but did not desire
publicity, hence we could not work
up definite concrete cases OF proflteer-
ing.
Everything Higher Here.
While this committee has no power
to invest gate the financial condition Of
local dealers as TO seeing what they pay F.
for articles and what they sell them
for il has tried TO do as instructed
and think that we have accomplished
that purpose.
For many food commodities. esne- ,
cially meats, the prices In Wilmington
average from 10 per cent. TO rs per
cent higher than those In other ties
In comparing prices we have endeavored
to try 10 get prices on the same artl-
cies and quality Of food. We give be-
low a list Of a few prices, showing
what articles cost In Wilmington and
what they cost in nearby cities. on
course these are only few Items. but
they viii show The trend OF prices by
which a comparison can be made In
first example we give three large cities
ana one small one. or course The large 3
cities should have better purchasing !
facilities.
