WE TAKE IT BflGK.t As the bright green of Spring 1ms been buried dee) by the return of our (dinging friend, Winter, we apologize for our Easter Greeting and announce 1 OVERGO ATS AT GOST. Ituposoible To Be Kolorcttf. Unequal In It Buirdens. Henry C. Lea, of Philadelphia has addressed an open letter on the tax bill to Senator Penrose, whiejh is attracting a good deal ot attention throughout the State.

Mr Lea is a prominent citizen, a heavy real estate owner, having but little personal property which this biil would reach, and writes as follows As a heavy taxpayer I have naturallv given the subject of taxation some thought for many years past, and my conviction is settled that real property is the surest and fairest basis on which to levy the public revenue. It cannot elude the assessor, as the great bulk of personal property can its value can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, and is not subject to violent or sudden fluctuations moreover, the tax levied upon it is sooner or, later diffused through all classes of the community by the medium of rentals, in a voluntary and equitable way. Besides all this, the limd-owner is especially interested in invitieg capital and business to maintain or increase the value of his ground. Legislation which attracts business to his neighborhood helps him legislation which cripples or irjurea business huits him more than it does the trader or manufacturer directly affected, for they can remove to a more hospitable region, while his investment is immovable. The difference between land at twenty-five dollars an acre and twenty-five dollars a square foot is simply that the latter is surrounded by capital and business, while tbe former is remote from these sources ot value.

Of all classes in the community the land-owner is the one most in-terested in having capital and business untrammeled to earn the largest profits. He gets, sooner or later, his share in those profits, and it is suicidal for him to drive awey that which alone gives his land i special value over Government lands in the Territories. The impossibility cl accomplishing the object aimed at in the bill the subjection to local taxation of every fragment cf personal property owned by each taxable in excess of three hundred dollars in value is sufficiently proved by the grotesque provisions fer the assessment of tangible personal property. Each taxable is required by Section 5 to present to the assessor a complete inventory of everything owned by him, and business firms and corporations are expressly made taxable persona for this purpose. The minuteness with which tbi a is to be done is ludicrously illustrated by the fifth special clause in this section prescribing that musical instruments, including, 1 presume, jews-harps and tin trumpets, shall not be omitted.

Evety householder thus mast hand in a catalogue of all tbe content! ot his house every business concern a full and detailed account of stock, every manufacturer a complete statement of atl materials, tools and machinery. Every one. moreover, must set fouh in detail all accounts due to him, for if he fails to enumerate any of them they become outlawed and uncollectab.e, but no permission is given to deduct lie bi'itiee, so that all easiness indebtedness within the State will be taxed twice, which 1 will be severely oppressive to the debtor 1 class- There is no provision that anr vaues are to be affixed to these enormous inventories for the bill regards every taxable as a rogue 1 anjl will not trust him, but it imposes on the neyaoiyr tUp impo-s'ble task of sflxiDg to i ecij hcu. ILo ptlce ct Va.u, to, same would sell it such piece ot parcel ot I the same were sold singly or separately at a bona fide sale alter full public notice. It seems incredible that so preposterous a suggestion should be made to a legislative body, but I suppose the framer of the bitl had in view only the simple contents of a bain or farmyard, with their comparatively easily ascertiinable values, ajd never contemplated the consequences of applying his plan to the complicatjd interests of a large city.

Even he, however, I suppose, can imagine would be the task of the as-! seesor on whom would fall the valuation of the inventory ot Mr. Wanamakers Grand Depot, or Messrs. Cramp St, Sons shipyard or the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Such a sysem as this would be inoperative through its cumbrous impossibility, and it i would disappear under a storm of public ridicule and detestation, but not before it bed time to work unimaginable annoyance to the people A minor evil would be the swarm ot assessors let loose upon the community, like the locusts cf Egypt, tor it would require several hundred in our own city to value the contents cf houses, stores and factories of Philadelphia, which are estimated, I behYve at between 176,000 and 200,030, Another evil would be the necessity, under Section lines 4 J-48, cf preserving all these voluminous inventories, the accumulation of which in a few years would require vast storehouses. To crown the offensive absurdity of all this, Section 21 requires that all these lists with their valuations shall be printed, and a copy be delivered to every taxable.

With the abeurity customary in the bill it is not stated whether alljhe items in the several inventories are to be printed in full, or only the totals, but the former is presumably intended, as the latter would fall in the manifest object of setting every man as a spy npon his neighbors. In either-case, many volumes would be annually required in a city like Philadelphia, and as there are 225, 000 taxablea in the city to be supplied, the printing bill would exhaust a notable percentage of the revenue accruing to the city. household SALE I will sell a lot of goods, furniture at my home No. 34S East Washington Street, on Saturday at 1 oclock p. m.
