A Famer's View of Tax System of Pennsylvania. (By William t. Creasy.) Gentlemen, there should he but one tax levied for all general purposes, and it should not be in any way con nected with tho United States inter nal revenue system. It would in ef fect be an income tax. It should be levied under a law sufficiently compre hensive to reach every tax-paying in terest, and make all persons, corpora tions, trusts, joint-stock associations, co-partnerships, limited partnerships, or any nondescript interests contribute to the support of government accord ing to their ability to do so. The com mon laborer should be a contributor to the tax fund as well as the large trust representing millions of dollars of capital. A tax thus levied should be appor tioned for state ,county, city; borough school, road, poor or other general purpose according to the wants of the state county, city, borough, township' school and poor district entitled to re' ce'.ve its portion. If it is not. deemed advisable or feas ible to have but one tax, as aforesaid, thn there should be some revision of tho Pennsylvania system so as to make tho burdens of taxation bear more equally than they now do on the dif ferent subjects of taxation.
