FCO MS IIM;
Kansas Editor's Story of the
Curious Taxation
System.
The following storv is clipped
from the DHpha Kansas) He
publican, and no doubt will be
read with considerable interest by
those who may hae been afflicted
with something of the same na
ture here at home. Hut it is in
some respects true to the letter,
ant) demonstrates the beauties of
taxation:
Thre are some queer things
about our system of taxation.
Here is an example: Once upon
a time t In editor of Ihis paper be-
. i i ill.
came possessed oi i in lamiaiue
ambition to own a home. Having
managed to save up a few dollars,
he purchased upon I lit payment
plan some property which had
been taken in on mortgage by an
eastern investment company.
The house was in such bad re
pair that it was md tit for oc
cupancy. The cellar was full of
stagnant water, weeds grew rank
ly about the house, the porches
were rolled and sagging the house
unpainted. The lot was a couple
of feet above the sidewalk and the
earth had washed and raved, mak
ing it impassable. The place was
an eve-sore ami a menace to
health; we wanted a home ami saw
its possibilities.
It was located in a gootl neigh
borhood, and from it we had a
beautiful view over a pretty valley.
Being rather handy with tools, we
went to work before ami after
office hours. We repaired the
porches, painted the house, sod
ded and terraced in I he yard and
drained the cellar and put in curb
ing and packing. We worked early
anil late, until at last we had, as
many people told us, one of the
prettiest homes in town anil then
the assessor came around and
uoumeii our taxes.
We were lined because we bail
worked hard and converted order
into disorder, ugliness into
beauty and had wiped out a plague
spot in the neighliurtitioil. It is
also true thai the owner of a few
vacant lots adjoining our place
immediately advanced them in
price, hut neglected to cut the tall
weeds which grew on .them. It
may be added that his taxes were,
ntd , increased, notwithstanding
the fad that, be held his lots at a
higher prim.
We have told Ihis slory because
the statement itself ought to
cause someone to do some hart)
thinking. There surely is some
thing radically wrong wilh a sys
tem of taxation in which a person
is fined for merely being industrious.
