JV'eizt: siystcmiof Taxation.—VVe this week pub-
lish the act recently passed, providing for the as-
sessment and equalization of taxes. It will be
seen onuexamining the law, that the productive-
ness and value of property, form as they ought,
the leading’ principles of the new system, except
“is "to articles, generally denominated articles of
luxury. ‘In the latter case a dil’l'erent system is
‘adopted, for the obvious reason, that articles of
luxury; is generally owned by the wealthy, who
can either use them or. not, as may suit their own
fancy or convenience. The old law taxed fixed
property by the acre,iwithout regard to its val-
ue or prodt1ctiveness—a similar role was adop-
ted in taxing most kinds of personalproperty,
such as horses, cattle, Sec. Hence ten acres of
plough or pasture land worth $20 per acre, was
taxed as high as the same quantity of land worth
SIOO an acre; a horsejof the value of $30 went
into the -list at the same rate as a horse worth
$150 ; ‘a dwelling house worth $400 paid as high
a tax as a house worth $4000, unless there were
more fire places in the latter than the former.—-
In this way a man worth $630, paid as much
It is to divide
moreiieqnally these burdens that the new law is
intended ; and if we are not much mistaken, the
legislature in framing the law, have hit upon the
only rule which can accomplish the object propos-
ed. VVe can only test the principles of the two
systems by applying them to particular cases.-—
Every body will admit that two persons possessed
of'me' pi-‘opt-.rty above named ought not to be tax-
,-ed equally." ,1-Iow the.u.,csn._s1y;§ di.fficuIu:.irt...m:
I‘ 'ula‘iaw"t5e' lremedied except as. proposed by the
new system? The owner,_of.ten acres of land
worth $20 an acre, instead of putting it in the
list at the same rate as does the owner of ten :1-
crcs worth SIOO an acre, will now put it in the
list at 36, while the owner of land worth five
times as much, must put his in the list at $30 ;
the horse worth $30 will go in the list at $2 and
40 cents, while the horse worth $l5O will be put
in the list at SIS}. \Vc might put cases by run-
ning through the whole list of taxable property,
but enough has been said to show in what manner
thetwoisystemjs differ‘; and it is necessary only
to notice this difference, to see the superiority in
point ofequity and fairness of the new system
over the old law.—--Regz'ster. ’
