We are told by it paper that “the negleet of Donglas and the other coun ties to settle with the state for the <up port of its patients juivalent to foreing the taxpayers of the state to support all its patient< in the hos- pital, no matter how well able the patient or his relatives, legally responsible his support, are to pay the same, The law makes the county responsible to the state first, and then the patient’s proper- friends legally held for his support, responsible to the county. The state cannot come in and collect di- reetly from the individual.” This is preciscly what all fair-minded The state imposes a general tax upon all property for the maintenance of benevolent institutions, such as nsylums for the insane, the blind, nd dumb, the feeble minded, and the aged and infirm id vules are established for admission into th in stitutiens, and if any imposition is prac- ticed at certainly will be in behalf of the poor rather in favor of the vieh., It is not presumable that men or women in comfortable cireumstances will not have themselves or relatives inmury in an insane asylum for the sake of getting free board and lodging. Having paid his full share of taxes, including levies for the maintenance of ali ¢l able and benevolent institu- tions, the man of means is as much en- titled to their benelit without extra charge as the pauper, who has never contributed a dime in taxes. We give the poor man the benelit of free schools, and the prop. y owner enjoys the without a special charge for his childven. It is unjust and unreasonable to impose a special tax upon a whole y for the maintenance of its insane after the prop- erty has borne its full share for main- tiining benevolent state institutions by a general tax. It would be no more nor less than double taxation, which no law- yer of any standing would defend or ad- yocate for one moment. On one point we are willing to stand corrected and that is the statement made by the Jour- nal that $33,000 of the money formerly collected as a head tax was paid out in 1879 to build additions to {he insane hospital and furnish the same. That fact alone does not sustain the equity of the le taxation in connection with the asylum, is o Comes Up Smiling, No. 13, ha takes the thirteenth place in last week’s reportof the thirty-one clear ing house cities.
