only fixed for the purpose ot showing tho
ability of the plan to create revenue.
The earning power of these corporations
will constantly Increase while, the taxa
tion will decrease. Thl 9tt hns fill Its
nubile buildings, SUite house, charitable
IiHtltutlons, etc.. nearly completed. 1 ho
State debt will oon dtsappeur. I ho rail
road debt referred to. amounting1 proba
bly to $20,000,000.00, can no doubt Is
landed Into twenty year five per cent,
gold bearing bond : tho holders
of the pre-cnt bonds would gladly
make the change. H'u ler
eentage upon tbe-se corporations
would in a few years liecome coinpara
tlvelv small. It may reasonably be as
"timed that an ample revenue can be
raised from the source Indicated tor all
the purposes Indicated. If ,q t,lu ob'
lect of this letter to do anything more
thuu outline the plan for a better system
of taxation than the one we now have.
This plnn will nndotibtetllv require tbi
amendment ol the Constitution.
The plan Indicated would be In viola
tion of Sections otic and six, Article nine
of the Constitution. ArtWo nine hould
In; amended as provided for In Section
two of Article fourteen ot fly Contltu
feet, In hopes that ?ome action may be
taken. No question Is ever underetood
until it has been fairly and fully dis
cussed, It appears to nie that this plan
ol taxation will bring relief to every com
munity in tills State, ir It will bring re
lief to anovcrbutherned people, it should
be adopted, and the sooner It Is agitated,
and the people made to understand It,
the better.
It must and will bo agitated soon by
the overburlliened eoiiiimuiltles of tlif
State.
Some mode of relict will force itclf
Into the coming campaigns, and men and
turtles will be compelled to take sides.
These corporations are the children of
the people, and they. It Is 10 be hoped,
will willingly come to the help of those
who breathed life Into them. This plan
1 is no net with inc. Ii any one can sug
gest a better one, or amendments to tliU,
let him do i-o.
Tills plan may be tubjeel to severe
criticism; If to, M it ntelvc it. There
may Iks a better plan tor raising revenue,
and at the same time gUc relief; if so,
