TAXATION<br />
L Feb. 4; ed: 2/2 - See City Government<br />
3563 . L Mar. 4; ed: 2/2 - That the people of Ohio want a reduction in<br />
taxes is a fact too well known to demand any proof. This reduction<br />
must materially lessen their burden. A majority favor a geological<br />
survey of the state. The expense of this would be $12,000 a year over<br />
a four year period, which would be a small cost for a great work.<br />
"It will benefit every branch of industry, increase the aggregate<br />
weal th of the state, and thus lessen the taxes." (8)<br />
3564 - L May 3; ed:2/2 - Pennsylvania is gaining unenviable notoriety.<br />
Their mistake is apparent even to themselves, but instead or endeavoring<br />
to redep.m themselves they are adding to their load of shame and disgrace.<br />
It will take many years of fair dealings and honorable behavior<br />
on the part of Pennsylvania, ere she can recover what she has already<br />
lost.<br />
"We look in vain throughout the Union for another example such as<br />
Pennsylvania presents.... Pennsylvania should blush to be the exception<br />
to this universal comity."<br />
Even should she, from this day forth, sense her acts of violence<br />
and withdraw the unjust tax which she levies upon the commerce of her<br />
sister states.<br />
New York respected the rights of her sister states. The railroad<br />
cars of Massachusetts freely pass the boundary of New York on the Hudson<br />
river. (6)<br />
3565 - L June 4:3/2 - Last night at city council meeting an ordinance<br />
was passed levying taxes for the current year. (1)<br />
3566 - L June 4:3/2 - City council met last night and adopted a resolution<br />
providing for the collection of the 1854 tax, the improvement<br />
of the ship channel, and the river bed. (1)<br />
3567 - L Nov. 13: 1/4 - In a letter to the editor, Irad Kelly says;<br />
"I would respectfully inquire of all concerned, why the county treasurer's<br />
fees for collecting the city taxes are not reduced agreeably to<br />
the petition to the last assembly, signed by hundreds of intelligent<br />
ci ti zens asking that said fees be reduced from fifteen to five mi lIs<br />
on the dollilr, or less." (4)<br />
