District, us provided iu the commission

6. Aro you in favor of a graduated In
come tax; ami, If so, how can It Imj as
sessed and collected ?
Your llfth question about a "graduated
income tax" I am not well enough in
formed about to hazard an opinion, sinco
I quit gambling and tippling.
0. Whut are your views upon tho
"single-tux" theory, or tho placing of
taxation upon land values onlv?
In moderate Iuintuuue. I think it s a
most gigantic humbug. What's tho mut
ter wiih tlio stock men. merchants, and
bankers, yra, the bankers, with their
thousands invested in notes, stocks, and
exchange? Why not tax them a little, as
well us tho poor dovll who him chanced
to squat on u little tract of Iwort Ideas land?
7. I'o you think mo Dill prepared uy
the tux commission of 188(1 un improve
ment unon our nrcsent law? In uhat
would you recommend a change In It?
"Tho M tueparcd ly tlio tax cominis
slon of 1880" I know nothing about, our
Leuislaturo either being at "outs" with
tho State Printer, or fearing thuy would
reuueo mo coiiiury u a piniu ui i-iiuij,
had so fow of tho "session" laws printed
that common individuals could not obtain
ono. 1 inn in favor of having, say 100
conies of tho lawH passed each session
Diluted for distribution by each member
amoiiL' his constituents.
K. Aro vou In favor ol "iiciiuciions ior

No, most emphatically, no. A grander
and more wholesale swindle was never
tiertictiated upon an uiiMisectlng people.

A NarrutUa llrlatril Thursday I'.felilm: by
Iter. Mr. llnllU
Kev. Mr. Mollis, u Walla Wulln minis
tor of the CuiupU'llito faith, has lieen
holding meetings In the court house for
tho mist Hoveral days. Tho old irentlo
man is a peculiar but forcible talker, and
Is evidently in love with bis work. Ills
sermons nro very Interesting, w hether or
not ono Is iu sympathy with his views
An anecdote related at lliursday evo
nine's meeting will Uur repeating:
lie and u physician ami another gen
tlenian were sittim; Iu u railroad car,
The latter was a horse-dealer, and had
made a splendid trade on the past Salt
bath. For this tho physician, u moniWr
of tho church, hud been soundly Uniting
mm. l' many the iiorse-ueaier concluded
to uut even, and asked the doctor If ho
didn't practice medicine and get piid for
I) .... J I.... TI.Im .. ....-l-,...
the physician wasn't pioparcd to answer
Tho horseman then turned to Klder llol
lis with n tiiumphunt smile and asked if
ho didn't havo the doctor cornered.
"Yes." ufrsented the reverend, "you havo
ceituiuly got him in n tight place, and
you aro Hrfeetly conect," ut which tho
face of the dealer in horses Itecamo null
ant with the consciousness of his victory
of Its approval by the preacher,
i
minds seems meet for the U'st interestHof; "Hut vou must not forget." continued
tho future, by some mistake of your mall- Mollis, "that you don't belong to Ciod
ing t iers caiuo 10 my luuireroi, which no Aim ulitv'n kinedom. and It mukes no
mum iiuvu luuiui on uio letiiimomur ; (iiiionMico w
page ol some patent medicine almanac.
The sublect Is un Interesting one, uud if
my opinions urn woith u dam, hero they
are:
1. How can a full and fair assessment
of proiK'rty bo secured? .
'l'o' do ImW massa dat's a singer."
lly passing u law to make all men morally
houest. osiHviully when the assessor'
calls. To further aid the work, elect lion-
est, intelligent, and competent men to of-1
nee, ciotneii with uuinoriiy to swear men
before tun! behind, ami if need be in the
middle of the sermon. Let there bo a
shut you do on Sunday, us
you nro outside tnep.iieoi tits laws, urn
Iteloni! to an entirely dltlereut kingdom
that of his Satanic Majesty; he is your
muster, and no ou uro serving wiien you
trade horses on tho Sabbath."
What tho feelings of the horseman w ere
after this homily the reverend gentleman
u ui uoi explain.
