Who Pays The Taxes?
The new so culled'fax equaliza
tion law is receiving much praise
from the section’s which are favor
ed by it.
The newspapers of the large
cities are almost accusing those
who oppose it of treason. Why
certainly. The law was enacted
by the influence of the large cities
and it benefits them at the ex
pense of the rural counties.
They say it is equalizing the tax
es. Whose taxes, we might ask
them? The only truthful answer
woulu be the farmers’ taxes.
From several places we have
received the news that the new
law has placed on the tax books
so manv thousands of acres of
land than were never on the books
before.
Not once have we heard the
news that it has added to the tax
able property any increase in the*
bonds, stocks, notes mortgages
stocks of merchandise, etc.
And here is why these people
of the cities claimor so to retain
the law.
The reuresentatives of the coun
try counties were caught asleep
when they voted for this measure.
We are glad to say that Henry’s
representative, Dr. Arnold, oppos
ed it.
When there is made a part of
the act a method to compel the
return for taxation of the person
al property and make it imposs
ible for this class of property to
dodge the taxes, theu and not till
then will such a law be just to all.
