the state. While we deplore the '
i
idea of seeming to array one
elass of citizens against another,
yet there is no plenum hut the
rich or well to do fail to bear
their proportionate part of the
burdens of taxation, when one
compares the tax returns. There
are instances that can be found
on the tax books of any county
in the state, where men actually
perjure themselves by swearing
falsely to their tax lists, and the
matter is passed over or w inked
at by the official-., whose sworn
duty it is to correct these tax
lists. A man's Hsition in church,
society, intelligence or wealth,
should not be a cause for Mis
crimination in his favor in hst
ing his property for taxations,
yet if such a man sees tit to
swear falsely he i permitted to
do so and his list is not correct
ed while his less fortunate
neighbor is made to toe the
mark'
