Br WILLilAin 1I i BEHN &BD. WILMINGTON, C. . Sunday Mor ing. Jan. 22. 18V3 ' Jtaxatioh ( -j ! Taxation is one of tbe problems of the age, as it has beea of ages, and it probably;' always will be, for taxes art! some of the debts that are' never . paid willingly, and the average mor tal dodges them if he cab. As far as J conscience, goes it figures very little on the tax. lists, and possibly it might nor, oe aoiug violence to cne cracn cq say that doesnk figure at all. j There are too many fhonest citi . zefis like j the Teutonic denizen1 of 5 whom it was told that after "giving -m"" his property he was informed by . the tax jister thatjthe Legislature . l had passed an act ;requiring ' those who listed for taxation to swear that i they made a truthful ; statement. ' "Vat?". said the old fellow, !"haf I ; got to schware do -it ?" "Yes," re plied thefiister, "that's the jaw now.' - On, veil den," said; the unsophisti cated lister, "ven I got toschwaredo it, I guess I better gif in some more horses, und cattle, und bogs." The old fellow's conscience wasn't -both- ering him a bit, he had an under- standing with that,' and between him and his obliging conscience they had ; been berating I the Static right along. - year after year,, as j lots of the old : man's fellow-citizens had been doing, but "dot schware" got him and : brought him to taw. I U." It does not necessarily follow that because a man take advantage f the State or municipality in the 'matter ot taxes and tries to get off asligtitly as he can that he is dishonest, "Not at alL He may be In all his dealings wiiu ui icnow citizens as individuals strictly honest and punctiliously hon orable, but when he comes to deal ing with these same fellow citizens collectively v he won't mind beating them if he can and he will justify it on the ground that "they all do.it which" comes pretty near being the 7 truth, although it is no justification. There js nothing gained; by this in. the f long run, for; the State or' the county or the municipality Imust have so much money from year yy year to meet current , expenses, or I special obligations, and if full re-J turns 01 property be not made, or I property be not made, or proper valuation put upon it, it sim ply necessitates a i higher rate , of taxation to, meet jthe demands for money, so that the; citizen who re turns only a part jpf - his taxable property or returns it at; an under valuation, pays as much tax on it as he would if he had made a candid and honest return," provided all others At tha com. 7 nt :i I ouicrs aia -me same. Of course if I Others did not do the same then the burden would fall unequally upon him, and that's where' the dodging .tax-payer does injustice to the one who is disposed to do" the Y fair, square thing. -v.- j . ir-i.'j-; ; . ?: ; y The dodging system not only does ? injustice to those who are willing to . nav thif 'fnl! nmnnriinn' rf fir. K. they few or many, but it does ; harm to the -State : in other ways than by defrauding her out of taxesr. ' States are judged very frequently by non- residents'seeking information,' with a view to investment or to locating, . by the. listed- valuation of property and , the rate of taxation. If - they - find "the farming lands "' listed at a veryvlor figure' ' per acf e' :i which 1 How much better Impression woul it make if these lands were DUt at somethW like their f real valu which the owner would ask for the if he offered them for sale, and if the rate of taxation were proportionately lower? It woujd not only speak well for our farming lands, but also for our State Government as wisely and economically, administered. It is not an easy thing to devise a system of taxation that would t e perfectly equitable even if-the peo-; pie taxed were jstrictly honest in tbe matter of returns, for under present systems the buk of taxation is a ta x on industry and when it . is n t directly so it comes in the long rrj n out of the poor man. The tax c n the farm,' for instance, cavers houses, barns, and other improvements which may add double or treble to the taxable value of the lands on which they stand although they are pro ductiye of nothing m the way of in- come, while the adjoining farm', al though equally as good land is as sessed at a comparatively nominal figure because ts owner was contept to live in a cabin and let his cattle depend for shelter upon a friendly siraw siacK or sometnmgoi tnat sort. A tax of this kind is simply levying tribute upon the industry that toilfed and built the house and the barn and giving a premium to indolence and snuuessness, wnereas it ought, in justice and good policy, to be the re i 1 . 1 verse, if that Were practicable. When the manufacturer, the mer chant, or, trader-is taxed he pays the fax but adds it to his gross expenses. puts it on the price of his-goods - and somebody else pays the tax back to him. I r That's wherp the enormity of high . ' rc . . - r I ' m. . . larm taxatiou comes in. ine man- aiacturer, u ne puts nis gooas upon the market himself, adds the duties imposed to th cost of the goods; the importer who i . t " . buys abroad does the same; the merchant who buys from the manufacturer or'from the imi ter does the same, and when they through, the people who buy goods for their own use, have p the' duties with & considerable cent, added. While it may be impossible to de- vise a perfectly equitable systetri of taxation it is possible to greatly nm- prove th e systems we have and to re- move many of the inequalities w th- out imposing 'hardship on any d ne. and the Place to ibeein is bv mak ng wealth find by this we do not mi an the industry which produces wealth). bear its just proportion, which it does hot no w Jin this country, and ne ver has in this nor in any other. Tt ere are hundreds ,of millions of dollars in the Possession of the wealtUest people of this! country which dolnot pay a cent of. taxes and never have. ... - .i j The latej Jay ould, though' wortjh at least $7Q,000,000, and some say S90,- 000,000, paid taxes ; for years on $300,000. and; growled when a couple of years ago the assessment was raised td $500,000." And yet if the property of these men was en violence, they could dangered by command the militia of the States, at public expense, to protect it. bo it goes.: here; is a wide .field open for the tax reformer. '. A Pittsburg - dispatch yestefday announced that Hugh Demrisey, District Master Workman, who figur ed in the Homestead strike was con- victed of having administered po son1 to : nnrunnmn vnr1rmn amnkA I i - ,fv bUiUlU TbU I . . . . i .. . . f i I m piace ot ine stnxers. in is may prove a very serious matter not only to him but to others charged with --mm 1 - - - " - the same offence. " The ' indictment- was based 5 on confession of the who wai employed as cook, who mart i . says he put the some kind of powders into the coffee drunk: by the men, which' was furnishej him by Dempsey, i' L. it , . . . It was not thrfr hrfmn tn. v;n non- union workemen, but to make them sick so Ithat they would not be able to work. It is . now alleged that several of the men died, and Iheir deaths pre attributed tothe powders put into the Coffee which they dfank. 1 his uiay be; or not be, but it puts the ! powder jusersjnto a very prediciment. Whatever the - ugly result may oe with them, it will not be witnout benefit to the workmen who belong; to those despotic i secret or- ganizations in showing them how. completely .they bind and eh lave ...cs .waea ,mey, take obliga tions that compel lmplicit obedience k" fc"w 01 me councili that aeciae ana the men who rule. hat obedience, -may be cbmmande not necessitates a high rate of taxatiorj, they 'are apt conclude that the lands are 'either very poor; or very far from markei towns, and with the high rate of taxation, that the farmer mast be pretty :hard pressed to pay bis taxes and meet other obligations. This makes ah j unfavorable impres sion, which is not to be wondered a :. only for the destruction of property. but for the destruction of life, and the workman, whose motive ; in join ing the organization was good,may find himself, eventually, through the operation of its binding machinery, figuring as a murderer. This is the age of 'paternal gov-. ernment" when every "man who be lieves in it -wants the Government to have ah especial ' eys to the ; voca tion which he follows and levy tribute on every one else that he may prosper. This is paternalism as iris understood and practiced now brought down to its essence. In a recent address before the Patna Club, in New York city, Hon. .John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, thus defined it : ' ; . "Paternal government is a falsenood. It takrg the paternal name tosinction its absolute authority, and discards the paternal duty in administering govern ment. It is only a father in name, and is without - natural . love . to mitigate tyranny or to do equal justice airnoog its people. It claims power to rule without restraint, and to dispense blessings or cursings at its will. It has pelted para sites attacnea to itseit, tnat tney may ieed upon it, and draws tbe resources with which to supply them from the u un favored and disinherited mass, , whom it only exhausts and never helps. It has us foster children and its foundlings, it'l favorites and. its victims, and burdens the; many for tbe benefit of the few." This sketches; true to the life. I ... ' . ' 1 ' There isn t a word in it that isn t true nor a line in; which there is a scintilla of exaggeration. Paternal ism has done this country more harm -thin all the wars since the! Republic was lounaea lor it nas not oniy im poverishd millions to enrich the few' bat has caused a demoralization 1 - i which it will take the country a long time to recover from if it ever - does. Paternalism is not only a fraud, it is a crime.'' " ; . ; ' .? --''' but In his message to the Legislature Governor Carr calls attention to the necessity of doing' something for the improvement ' of the roads of the State, which he, in very blunt phrase, pronounces .a "disgrace to our civili zation." In his late canvass, having travelled all over the State, - and much .'over the dirt roads, he had fine opportunities for acquiring some practical and personal knowlege of their condition, and when he charac terizes the average road of this State as a disgrace to our. civilization be commits no violent assault upon the truth. We congratulate the Governor on his level-headed position on this question,' and. the State may be congratulated if the Legislature re sponds and gives it the atten tion which its importance entitles it to.
