J ot h j are (3 r:nt men, and C'orbelt ha i loue in regaitl to party measures in the Semite just, what Mitchell would undoubtedly do ; he has given them a blind and utiyielding support.

Lord Jjarm, the great statesman proIn onr M)nnty who is usurping a seat in the Lower House, with the assistance of Dave Thompson, is . doinir his best to keep oft" the trial of the case until after the Senato rial (lection, but the well-known fac t that the Radicals are not enti- j tied to their scats, will go far to I wards admitting our members im- mediately. Of course, the Mitch 1 ell men in the House are doin all thev can to keep oil this contest, as they wiii lose three votes by having these usurpers thrown out. 1 it bow tlllfl;.,! i-itit I v 'Hi., 1 nr. in. jie t.auvns ti:tt tiC.

"nt is just and indispensable and ;i- W('!-" disposed citizens xvillmirly ( comply with the demand; and in-j a -'t'z-'-ls lecl an hon-; est pride in the payment of their j just nm reasonable taxes. Laws j , . . .1 , , - .,,,,, ni U'Ktn V t,,e :1!lt Ll j lection of taxes are. or should be, so ' ' n.n.le ami rnmiecu as io uutKe taxes coual and iust. Several ob- staeles intervene. One is partaility in assessment. Another is a want of tide htv and honesty m ltunish iug lists of property to assessors, j Under the present law of this State! the assessors are compelled to value much of the property from the de scription given by to value by the owner; this proves to be a danger ous temptation to many. Many on this point prevaricate and quibble. When one person assesses for a whole county much of the property he cannot see and must take the word of the owner. This defect might be remedied by having an .assessor for each precinct, who, by his familiarity with the property of his neighbors would be able to make a more thorough and equable valuation of property. My object " this connv.uuication is not to at- tempt to make an assessment code, but lo point out the practical de l'.cts in a law, no c oubt intern e to ' make a man s taxes proportional lo 1 ,1 . 1 1 I the amount o! rot)ert v owned and ' i W j protected. I refer to the law de- j ,, , 1. f , I has shown to a demonstration that I till IS this law has been, am abused to an extent that, renders taxes unequal and not in proportion j to the monetary value ot pioperty ; rotected. 1 xx ill give someilius-j nations: 1st lake the clause re- ! - - l i quiring the tax prayer to return j debts due and beeomin- lue on ' note contract oraeeotmton solvent , , . . . 1 1 . t - debtors and then deduct Ins own imlebteiluess, ot course every man , man thinks himself solvent so that whatever amount he owes is taken from his properly, then if he can conjure up a douhl in ugard to lhe solvency of those indebted to him this is kejit out ot his taxable ill property ; lurthermoiv, the Ueuts contracted between individuals is . . . t i on the basis ot the tuh vante ot tne iironertv. whereas in ass IllClltS this is never done. In many in stances the valuation of property lor taxable purposes is not moie than one-third ot its real value. I will make lhe case .still stronr- vY jX another illustration. Take L. , i tne case, ot proi.erty owned bv i 1 companies or individuals in several i ' . . . , ; i -1 ; , i i , l : . , i . . counties, i ne indebtedness is taen i liom the litin-iltv Mssessi il ill erieii - i i eacn i ,n 1 1,,. ,-.oi.,i h v. h- : h,. i.e.. : s i ,t 4, i . i is hclo, tlumgh there oe only one ! . I ' iu the ease cd' ii otierty assess- : cd ;it only one-third oi its real value situated in ten diifucnt coulies say 810,000 the real value of the pioperty in tach, then in the ease supposed, the property would only be assessed at 3,-3-j.J, then a debt ,. ., 0 ... -i , , ot vooo owed in only one place (one debt), is made to cover or screen liom taxation -s 0,000 in each count V making -sl00,O0')j ' , ' worth ot property screened by a debt of only ihooo. It is well known that men do this very thing under our law as it now stands. It is surprising to see many of our Large property holders pay little or no tax at gli. I do not believe this is fair or honest, and I do not think it was mtemied ov the law-makers 1 cians. ami u:ey say. wun uiator Mimtier. .1 . .t t , i . j I "'lhe war is ended ; ihere must be an end that the law should be so construed ;iIs , ,,,.,!.,.,.,., ;lssil)!ls. :ll,a tlle h-eed-but it is done .and I beliC-vc the num. assured ol his lij-l.ts. must enter up- , , , . .. only eileetual leineily is to slriKe out the clause deducting indebted ness altogether.
