Inbrlef, ho proposes to abolish all direct taxes on person al. property, and sub- stitute therefor a system of lleensa taxes on occupations, aAsan example, he publishes an linmense list of the occupations and the num: der of persons engaged therein which mary be licensed in Chicago; also, the rate of an- nual [leense which he proposes shall bo pald by each, with an estimate of tho total sum of revenue that may bo collected In this elty, ‘This tuble shows 33,030 persons who ara to nay a Heense from $12.50 for a retail mer- ehunt to. $3,000 for wholesale dealers,—the total estimated revenne being $041,000 for the wholv $3,000 persons, or a general average of, say, S30 per ovenupation, Says the Demo- cratic paper in which Mr, Mnason’s article ap- pears: Mr, Mason thinks it [tha present system of taxing personal proporty] ought not to be sut+ fered any longer to disgrivo the pality of Tinols, =an opinion to whlea the Pins fully agrees, Ho nlao proposes a substitute for it, the feasibility: of which eaimot be questionod, awhile ita sine melty, equitableness, and economle advantages: recommend {tt the favorable considerntion of Wl xood eltizons. ‘The Tunes enrnostly recom: mendes tt to the approbation of those who hive Leon chosen to represent tho, taxpayors of Illi- nots at Springfield. ‘Tun ‘Trinun# Is not ready to {ump to such conclusion, Mr. Mason's schome of Heouse- {nxation is by no means 8 new one, Soine years ago Mr. Alexander Starng, ox-lreasurer of this Stute,.and than in the Legislature, strongly urged tlils system, and slice then other members of the Logisiature have pro- posed the samo thing, Mr. Mason claims that this scheme is founded upon ‘princl- ples” of politienl economy, and one of theso prlnefples is stnted'to be that “taxes should be collected from the portion of income set apurt for consumption rather than from capi: tal.” In tho'tlst of ocenpations to belcensed. fro architects, artists, bakers, brokers, bhickginiths, carpet-beators, doctors, dentists, dlressinnkers, florists, firemen, lnwyours, mill ers, milliners, midwives, notades, newsdenl- ers, nurses, olice-scokers, coullsts, all compa nies, painters, preachers, professors, pollea- men, sailors, schoolnurms, shodmakers, specs ulntorg, scalpers, shysters, tinkers, tallors, type-setters, wool-buyers, Whfe-beators, whls- ky-stingers, vinegar and yeast works, and zlne workers. ach porson in thesa and all other trades and occupations Is to pay the rate of leense arbitrarily assigned to his elnss, without tho slightest reference to the Income of the per- son thus taxed. ‘The lawyer without a’ caso wad the lawyer with an income of $10,000 a year, and the doctor without a patient and the doctor whose oyery hour ta taken up, havo to pay the sume rato of Heense, The ereat objection to all systems of taxation of |, personnal property Is the Jrregularity reault- Ing froin {ts Sinperfeet execution, A large porcentagd of intangible personal property now escapes vssessment and taxation, thus proportlouately Increasing the tax on that portion whieh tha Assessor flids, The inequatity which exists In tho present modu of ‘taxing. personal prop erty would be dwarfed by the inequality which would result from taxing equally all Inen engaged In tho same tradeor profession, and without reference to thelr earnings, in comes, or the value of thelr visible and tan- gible property. ‘Po tax ability, skill, learning, and Jnteltect is hurdly consistent with sound politleal economy, ‘Tho great wlstake of our system of taxing personal property—a blunder so great that lt practically defeats Itsclf—Is the attempt to tax credit In addition to the visible, tangible property representad by erestit, A fanillar tustration of this is: A owns & horse yalued at $100, on which he pays & tak; at the close of the year he selis it to 1 on two years? credit, taking a note for $100; atthe end of the year DB sells the same horse to Gon weredit of one year and takes Cis note for si, Lat (nis ransaetion all the property in the business fs one horse teudant quuchinery, every coubly bd pre | worte old, buy ducer tue law of Llinols te THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER, 30, 1880—TEN PAGES.

Tv keeps his own counsel; he ig a good Istener; he interviews badly; he talks freely unon every subject but polltles; there is no evidence that he made any promises before the election, or that he has mado any since; ho thinks it is tho business of the Legisiature of Ohlo, not his, to choose a successor to ‘Thurman In the United States Senato; a large number of hepublican politictuns have confidence in thelr ability to form a Cabinet for him; they make pilgrimages to Mentorto prove It, but somehow forget what they went for, and upon thelr return express, the opin- fon that he ought to have till February to see whether ho cannot torm a Cabinet for him- self, This seems to be about tho attitude of Presklent-elect Garfleld. Gen, Gartleld’s reti- cence, his poise, should not be construed Into a suspicion of disregard of the wishes of Republicans, or of Indlference te the In- terests of the Republican party, 1t may bo accounted for on the simple ground of his extensive acquaintance with public men and ila wide experlence in public affairs, It ty more than fifty years since the people of tho United States have chosen a President of ex- perlence comparable to that whieh Gen, Gar- field :will bring to the duties of his high offve, John Quincy Adams, elected by the Mouse of Representatlyes in 1825, was a profound student of political cconomy and a powerful writer on tha subject, and his exe porlence in d!plomacy was varlgd and wide; “but, owing to lis lohg residence abroad, he necessarily had but slight acquaintance with the pubile men of the country. Jackson's fame, lending to his eleetion to the» Preal- dency, was wholly the result of his military. enrcer. His knowledge of elvil affaira was very Hmited. Martin Van Buren was Ittle more than au adrolt, cunning nulitician,: skilled In tho arts of aimbitious intrigue, Hurrisun was bred In the camp,. frontiers man, Whose knowledga of public alfalrs be- gan with Aghting Indians and ended, with governing the territory he had wrested from thon, Polk was fourteen years in Congress an Speaker of the Lower Iluuse,—a proml- nent figure In his party ata time when there was a power behind the throne that moyed lenders as puppets. Taylor was choson solely on account of his renown ng no sol- dier, and his entrance upon tho stage of civil fe completely broke him down, and his death soon followeil, Plerco was nelthor a statesman nor a soldier, During his cureer of uiue years in Congress he falted utterly to distinguish himself be- yond the exhibition of an unquestioning sub- serviency to the Southern slave ollyarchy, and {nthe Mexican War ho barely escaped the suspicion of cowardice, Buchanan was always in publio life, but nover gave direo- tlon to public affuirs, until an emergency frose which enabled him to distinguish him- self ng © coward and crown his name with Ine famy. Lincoln had but little acquaintance With public men and less with pubile affairs, Dut fils genius for polities and statesmanshlp mado hint master of every situation. Grant's magnificent achicvements in war made hin first In the hearts of lis countrymen, but he entered the White House huinbly pleading ignorance nlike of tho art of polltics and the selence of government, Hayes was a con- stunmate politician without appearing to be, who had been greatly dionored by his State, but whose experience of National affairs was that of a student rathor than an actor, Inthe long tne, covering a perlod of fitty- six years, there lg not a man who has entered upon the duties of tho )’residential ofice so thoroughly equipped, by virtue of cone tinuous public service and extensive and In- timate acquaintance with public questions and public men, ns Gen, Garfield. Jo may woll be reticent as he sketches for himself the history we havo brietly adverted to. He is familar with the temper of tho peaples he is one of them, Mo knows that they are su- verlur in general Intelligence to any other constituency In the world, Ifo knows that a8 ho understands thom so thoy understand him, ‘They havo g high opinion dt bin, and he knows {t; he will atrive to be worthy of thelr confidence, Ilo knows that they “will expect him to make Y good use of his wide experfence, and thoy think hin more capable ef forming his own Cabinet than any mat ls of forming one for him, ‘They are therefore quite content with his: reticence, Thoy doubt the wisdom in this caso of the old saw about a multitude of counselors. Jf Gen, Garfleld talks Httle and thinks much, ho may between this and the ith of March think out an oxcellont Cabinet, Tho politiclans are wiso in deciding to glye hiw until February to evolve a Cablnet from his inner consclousness, And If, being ac» corded this “Inch” of thue,,he tukes an, “ell” and so holds hls peace until after the 4th of Mareh, still it wil he well, “Speech isuilvern, but silence is golden,” A BOUTHERN STATE-SOVEREIGNTY HOWL, ‘Tho fast Igsue of Tue Trinenxe contained expressions of views on the political situation by two representative Southern men, Judge Lochrane, of Georgia, and Roger Q, Mills, Representative from the Fourth ‘Texas Dis- trict. ‘The former expressed himself as very hopeful for the future of the South, and as belleving that Gen. Gartield’s Administration will lend to promote more friendly fectings and n better understanding between tho two sections, ‘Iho Intter, who Is 2 mosa-backed Bourbon and a fanatle on the question of State-sovereignty, mantfested a bitter hos- tility to the Republican. party, and relterated the old Southern clamor of invasions of the Constitution by that party, of attacks upon the rights of the South, of its centralizing tendencies, and of its wttinate progress towards the system of an Empire, The one man was a good representative of tint fatr- minded elasa In the South who are ready to accopt the situation nud to drop thelr presu- dlees against tho North; tho other a fale representative of the Confederate Bourbons who still cllng to their bitter animusitles and attempt to make the authority of tho State paramount to that of the Nation, In his declaration of views, Mr. Mills-rings the changes upon violations of tho Constitue tion and assaults upon the soverelguly of the States, ‘The determination of the Govern- inent to supervise the election of Congress- men, and protect the ballot-box from cor- ruption through tho agency ‘of Its Marshals afid Supervisors, which it has a right to do under the Constitttion,is oncof theeomplaints whieh Texng MIs and others of hits ilk are in the habit of making. It ls looked upon by thei as nn invasion of the authority of the State Governments, though the Constitution gives the National Goyernment full control of those elections, and provitles that Congress may at any time by Inw make rules and regt- lations, or alter regulations already made by tho States, except as to the places of choosing Sunntora. ‘This ly one of Mr. Mills’ grievances. A second {s the National-bank system, whielt he says “is a curse tothe country” suffering under “the thralldem-of this monopoly.” low cro Natlonal banks “monopolies” ? They are perfectly free to nll who can put In the requisit eaplial to start them, Any company of met may staré o National bank with a capital of $50,000, ‘They are not obliged to issue notes unless thoydesireto, Ifthey do issue them, they have to pubup large securities, ‘They are as free in Texas asin any Northern State to start National banks. In whatsense thon aro thoy monopolies? A monopoly means tho re- striction of a privilege to a person or certain class of men, and the rofusil to let any others have that privilege, ‘Tho Natlonal-bank priv- llege fs open to every person having money. Tho only monopoly about tt Is the prevention of impecunious suceulators from dolugbank- Ing business without having any capital, What would Mills substitute in tho place of tho National banks? ‘The old Stnte- soverelgnty banks, spawning out that hetero- geneous, rotten, will-eat State-bank cur- rency .with whieh this country years ago was Hooded and plagued, ALills would give to Texas the privilege of sending all over the country this unsecured, Irredeemable, irre- sponslble trash, hardly better than counter- felt money. Ilo would give to every specu- lator in Texas tho right to be a “banker” and issue notes with wild-cat security, and even without the safeguards of supervision. However bitterly Mills may howl ‘over this alleged invaston of “State-rights,? it will be along, long day, bofure the people of this country will ever consent to the relesue of this worthless Stato-bank stuff, |onnaneelacbeeaneOhene nan) ’ Cot.
