A On tho 27th of July, 1866, tho Miscollahoous Appropriation bill, which had passed tho Houso, camo back from tho Sonato with an amendment providing * that tho componsation of onch Bon~ oator, Reprosentative, and Delogato in Congresa shall bo $5,000 por annum, {o be computed from the first day of the present session of Congress; and, in addition theroto, milonge at tho rato of 20 conts por mile.” After a brief debato, Mr, ‘Wentworth demanded the yons and nsya on tho motlon to concur, and tho question was deolded in tho nogative, by yond, 8 ;' naye,114 ; nui_ voting, 70. The Houso thon asked for a Committeo of Conferonce, to which the Senato sgreed, This Committoo roported to the Houso in favor of agroeing to the Senate amendment, with ;ms fhax- thor amondmont that tho pay of the Bpoaker should be $8,000 por sunum, The Benato agrood to tho report, but tho: Houso again rojooted it, by yons, 14 ; nays, 101 ; not voting, 71, The House appointod, as a now ‘Committeo of Conforence, Mosers;, Wilson, of Iows, _ Banks, and Niblack, and tho Sensto ap-| pointed Mesare.

Wilson, and Wrlght—50, It will thus boseen that, nlthough salarics oroe inoreased and back pay voted in the Thirty- Ninth Congress, it was not accomplishod until after avory Dbitter and stubborn contest, and then barely squeezod’ through by a majority of one voto, whilo eighty-flvo members woro afrald to voto ngainst it and darod not vote for it. Had it not been nesociated with the bounty mensure, and mado fusoparable by the rules of the Houso, 80 that a negative vote would havo killed both, tho proposition. would probably have boon de- foated. The rocont salary-grab waa carried through by nine majority in tho Senato and six in the House, aftor onlya show of opposition, the most of thoso who voted in tho negative drawiug their baok pay without any apparont compunc- tions of conscienco. There was, moroover, somo color of renson for tho action of tho | Thirty-ninth Congress in incroasing the pay, though noune for taking *“back pay.” The War bad just closed. The oost of living Liad beon incroased at an'enormons rate, not having yot rocoded from the maximum to which it bad been forced by the contingencies of war., Tho salary was in reality & small ono compared with the in- ovitablo expenses of a Congressman, Now, low- over, therels no such excube, If anything, the prico of lving iy ovon lower than it was cight years ago. Tho circumatancos, both in and out of Cougress, in 1806, were so different at tliat timo that thoy canuot furnish o prece- dont, wunless it be & precedont that all Congrosses aro at liborty to help themaolvos to all tho money they want. Tho nction of the Forty-second Congross was nothing more nor loaa thon a rnid upon the Treasury, logalized slmost without debate, fustened upon a goueral appropriation bill, nud passed before publio opinfon could be concentrated upon it. For- tunately there wora no tricke by which, aftor ita passago, tho public conld be led to o misundor- standing of it, Even with the procedont of 1866 in viow, publio opinion will remain unchanged, and thoe force of that opinion is already bogin- ning to b manifestod in the efforts of Congress- men to unload their plundor. STATE AND LOCAL TAXES, It is to bo hoped that the Iilinois Legislature, before thelr adjournment, will acknowledge from their own oxporienco tho great waut of official information Iu regard to all mattors pertnining to tho busiuess, prodnction, and taxation of this Btato, Tho Auditor's report furnishos, once in two years, n statemont (gonorally faleo) of tho valuation made by Aseestors of the.property in their respactivo countios, aud of the additions o reductions made in these valuations by tho State Bonrd of Equalization, Theso tables are sup- posed to show the value of tho lands, town lots, loraos, coitle, mules and assos, shoop, hogy, carringes and wagons, clocks and watchos, planos, goods and morchandise, monoys and credits, Dbonds and stocks, and unenumerated porsonal property. Tho Auditor has this yoar mado his roport somowhat more valuable by adding to tho tablo showing the amount of tax lovied for Stato purposes anothor ghowiug tho lovy for county, town, and distriot purposes. In this lattor tablo, however, iy not included tho amount of goneral and special taxos lovied and colleoted in citios. The Auditor, perhaps for want of proper iuformatlon, consolldates tho amounts deducted from lovy for “ abatemouts, commissions, oto,” Thiy, how- over, 18 in accordauce with long-eatablishod prees odent. But from this whole roport, admirably arranged wo far as tho materialy would allow, there aro many things omitted. Thero should bo an pwaual peport from every county THE CHICAGO DALY~ TRIBUNE:" WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1873 in tho Btato showing the entiro indobt- odnoss of ench county aud ench town- ship; tho roto, of Intorost thoreon’; tho amount of tax lovied for county, town, distriot, ald city purposos, and tho nmount collocted. Thero should bo n distinct statomont of tho cost to oach county-and city for tho nssessmont and gollection of tho taxes therein; tho amount of unpaid toxoes, whother on porsonal or real property. Thero should bo nlao n utatoment showing the smount of money recolvad by cnch county, olty, or town for lconues, and the num- bor of licensca and the occupations liconsed, 1t would alo boxight to fncludo tho numbor of all chiartorad conmpanies, otating their bualunoss. As tho proporty of thouo establishmenta is taxed, it would be but small additional labor to gathor and’compile all'tho othor statiatics at tho snmo timo, ) “Wo doubt whothor thore is momber of eithier House of tho Logislaturo who can tell what taxes aro lovied in his own county, and tho t'bmpu thoroof, cithor for Btato, gonoral, or special pur- poses, orcan give tho loast iden of what Ia the. cost of colleoting and nssossing such taxes. Tho fact thot theso offlcors aro ail now paid gnlaries ronders it very easyto gather tho particulara on theso points, s . Tho Conatitution of Illinols provides two q\nhcn of taxation for State purposes, ‘Tho firsb is by “tax on peddlors, auctioncors, brokers, bawkors, :morchauts, commission morchants, showmeon, jugglers, innkoopors, grocory-koep- ors, liquor-dealers, toll bridges, forrice, insur- snco, telograph, and exprossintorests or buainess, vondors of patonts, and porsona or corporations ownling or nsiug franchisosand priviloges.” Tho socond provides that for euch rovenuo as. may ‘be noeded,—in addition to whint is rocoivod from othor sourcos,—the Btato shal] lovy o tax by valuation on proporty. Tho Blate of Iiinois will'probably bo wholly out.of dobt by tho time the noxt Logisiaturo meols in 1876, It will bo, in the racelpt of a large revenue from the Illi- nois Contral Rafirond and tho canal, nud, by & judicious and vory moderato rato of liconges, might raiso all the rovonuo required for’ Stato purposos without the lovy of any tax ‘whatover. on’ renl and porsonal proporty. But, for' tho exorciso of :this .powor conferred by tho Conatitution, .information is nooded ; and i tlie soports of county oficers thera should bo n completo return of the number of sbloons, liquor-dealers, merchents, and tradors, a8 well as of tho corporations and porsons own- ing or using special franchises and priviloges. Thego returns are made to, the State officers in many States, and very syatematically in Ohio. In Wisconsin, the systom of liconses in lieu of taxos on proporty, in tho cages of large corpora~ tions, is working admirably ; the amount from that sourco largely Increasing every year, and the amount required to be rafsed by taxon property is a8 rapidly docrensing, But whothor tho State sball.overresort to this modaof gotting rovonuo or not, ‘tho information Is desirablo. Tho State Audltor has urged upon the Logisla- ture to provide for its collection, and early iutho nession Mr. Halpin, of this county, introduced o il providing for the colleotion of all this infor- mation g0 noedful for intelligont logislation, but tho bill Las'not been ncted on, The Iouso ought not to adjourn without passing thisor somo other bill authorizing the Auditor to col~ loct and compile this valuable information with Lhis roports, ? The British Government expended in the yenr ending March ‘81, 1878 (computing a pound storling at §5), tho sum of £863,670,000, and tho roceipts were £888,000,000, showing a surplus of over £30,000,000. During the proceding year tho rato of tax on coffee bad boen largely reduced, against the protests of thosowhothought it would cause a doficloncy in tho revenuo. But the increasod consumption was g0 gront that the deflcionoy was much smaller than was antici- pated. Tho low duty is to be continued, carry- ing out tbu‘Engflsh plan of reducing taxation annually in a sum corresponding to the surplns revenue of tho precedivg year. BMaking duo al- lowance for the pryment of the Alabama award, tho Governmont proposcs another reduction in tho tax on sugars. In 1805, tho tax was on five grades—threorofined and tworaw, Inthal yoartho highost and lowest of theso rates were reduced fiom 18 and 12 sbillings por hundred to 12 and 8 shillings, In 1870, these woro reduced to 6and 4 shillings, and It 8 now proposed to reduce those rates to 8 and 2 shillings, or 76 and 60 conts per hundred pounds. Tho taxes lovied on sugars in the United Btates range from §1.76 to €4 por hundred pounds. Tho British taviff taxes but nincteen articles, and each yoar tho rates of taxos on oneormoroof thoso are reduced. Our tariff taxes soveral hun- dreds of articles. In Grest Britain, the manu- factures are encouraged ouly by the admission of raw materials freo of tax. Hore wo tax tho raw material, and thoraby encourage the impor- tation of the foreign-made goods at an immense cogt. In Great Britain, tho taxes are laid for rovenuo, aud not for protection ; consoquently, consumers got one-third more goods for tho same smount of money than we do, Tho statemont of tho Britieh debt, racently mado, is a8 follows: Whole dobt April 1, 1809, £805,480,000. April, 1878, it was £785,800,000, Reduction in four years, £19,080,000. This dobt ia modo up of funded, £727,425,000 ; terminable annuitios, £53,646,000, of which £42,000,000 ox- pire in 1885 ; exchequor bills, £4,820,000.
