Official Organ of Henry County. i Who Pays The Taxes? The new so called Vfix equaliza tion law is receiving much praise from the sections w hich 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 would be the farmers’ taxes. From several places we have received the news that the ne v law has placed on the tax book?; 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 representatives 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 til! then w ill such a law be just to all.
