To the K.litoi' of The Journal: Mr. Price seems to me to he unduly excited over the question he himself ha-' raised over the new tax law he admits helping to enact. We emphatically deny having as sailed his record as a legislator. What we did wan only lo question Ins pre.-t i.t position in vlliiviui: the op eration oi his work. As for the amount i,f taxes shown on the sheriff's books, paid by men like myself who own no land, we will confess that they are not h'lg", hti' the tax hooks in the she' iff's offn e now the "renters tax.' It is paid to another party t:r tne priv iieue of staying on the earth and wh ui this tax amounts to ten dollars per acre, and it s oft. ner more than less, that land is paying a five pet cent dividend on fuo.OO. If one-half of this tax Is for land and tiie other half for buildings and improvements, then the land is still paying a live per cent dividend on 1 no. on, and if valued at forty dol i; ts per acre, under a rate of sixty c i.i.,, tip' owner is paying 24 cents p. i ;cre while the renter is paying five dollars per acre for the land and five Miliars additional per acie for the use of the buildings. In other vvordr, the owner Is pay ing t ie stftte twenty-four cents per acre for the privilege of collecting ten dollars per acre Iroui the man who must use it. Under such a re gime, it fe-ms to me that the renter is the one to do the howling and not the owner, yet Mr. Price seems to irs-ue that unless a man own? lain r,nd pays taxes on raid lands to (he sheriff of his county that such a man naa no right to open his mouth, either to complain against oppression or to aopl.iud relief measures. I think my position on the tax qiHFti'in has been made plain enough in The Journal for most any oii" who na become acquainted with It to thoronchlv understand It. I have said on one or more occasions that lh revaluation act was only arivinir the old taxing system more tope with which to hang itself, nnd fro- ih.it reason I have been ill sympa thy with it, bec.T.li-e it was opening up to view of the general pumic tne i:n qualities and corruption wiapped in therein. t was somewhnt surprised to know thnt nnlv men of Wealth had a voice in a couttrv professedly tinder repub Itcan, or as Mr. price wouio say "The Notorious Mi" LMo." Katherine MacDonald. famed lis the most beautiful woman In Amei ica. supported by a well known cast including Nigel llarri.', Dorothy Ouinn.ings, Ernest Joy. Margarit fhinnihell. and William Clifford, is the star of the latest First Nation;;! attraction which comes to the Srtard for one dav Tuesday, enti tled "The Notorious Miss Lisle." In this production Miss MacDonald is known bv the title name, derived by i he siorv hv Mrs. llaille Reynolds. Those who have read the book will delight in watching beautiful Kath- riiie MacDonald realistically depict the romance ot a girl w hi with a noiLiiant oast, marries a man who knew nothing of her notoriety.
