7 HE MILITIA TAX SWINDLE.
The male citizens of Philadelphia hive, a
number of weeks past, been annoyed by
an impudently worded circular informing
Ihem that if they do not call within five days
at the office of Isaac C. Pearson, colleotor of
delinquent taxes, No. 721 Sansom street, and
pay the militia tax for 1870, with costs, their
goods will be subject to distraint and they
will be made liable to additional costs. This
circular has been sent alike to those who have
paid the tax and those who have not, and
also to those who ought to be upon the
collector's books as exempt. The whole
object of the persons who sent it out is
to gouge the public as much as possible,
and the collection of the tax is managed in
such a manner as to accomplish the double
purpose of annoying the male taxables of the
city and of putting an immense sum of
money into somebody's pocket. The colleo
tor of this tax has never made a publto ex
hibit of his receipts and expenditures,
so far as we are aware, and there
fore any calculations we may make must
neoeBsarily be approximate. It is certainly
within bounds, however, to say that there are
0,000 citizens of Philadelphia liable to the
militia tax, which, if properly collected,
would yield $50,000 to be divided among our
4 'soldier companies." There are C016 officers
and men in the First division by paper count,
which does not represent the actual strength
of the Philadelphia home guards by any
means, as the force available for active servioe
is much smaller than this. Taking the figures
as they stand, however, it would be interest
ing to know what beoomes of all the money
collected, ine last division of the tax re
ceipts gave each man $125 or at
least we will assume that it did
for the sake of argument, for in
reality several regiments did not get more
than G2k cents per man at which rate the
total of the dividends would amount to
$7520. May we be permitted to inquire what
has been done with the balance of $42,480?
The collector or the members of the division
hoard may perhips consider the question im
pertinent, but as the citizens of Philadelphia
are obliged to submit to all the annoyances
of the militia tax they have at least the right
to know in what manner their money is ex
pended and into whose pockets it goes.
There is another feature of the militia tax
swindle with regard to which there is no
doubt, and that is the enormous emoluments
of the collector and his assistants. The col
lector's office last year was on Vine street,
this year it is on Sansom street, and next
year it will probably be somewhere else, so
that it will be impossible for any one desirous
of paying the tax in time to find it without
infinite difficulty. Indeed, the calculations
of the collector appear to be based upon the
idea that the tax in a majority of instances
will not be paid in time, and that he will
consequently be able to pocket the costs.
The circulars now being issued demand $2 05,
and assuming that one-half of the 50,000
taxables have not paid and we are certainly
much within bounds in this estimate the
collector will pocket tne very pretty sum
of $2G,250 as his share of the
swindle. It is an outrage that such a tax as
this should ever be imposed, and it is an
aggravation of the outrage that it should be
collected in the manner it is. Our militia
system is certainly not as efficient as it should
be, but be this as it may, it is certain that
the tax does not support it, and the principal
end and aim of the whole affair is to furnish
Mr. Isaao O. Pearson, or whoever is fortunate
enough to hold the collectorship, with an
opportunity to make a large fortune in a
short time with very little labor. We have
considered the militia tax swindle in only one
of its aspects to-day, but as the subject is
one that well deserves ventilation, we will re
turn to it hereafter.
THE EIGHTEENTH STREET
SWINDLE.
Fbom all accounts the present session of the
Legislature has been "dull and unprofitable"
to those incorruptible patriots whe misrepre
sent the people at Harrisburg, and whose
votes are as purchasable a commodity as ham
or hominy in our markets. The large corpo
rations, fortunately for their finances, have
needed but little legislation the past winter,
and all attempts to "Bet up a big job" have
thuB far failed, although the "Roosters" in
the House and lobby have labored earnestly
and with determined energy to make a
"divvy." The "commission schemes" pro
mised for a while a rich return; but the unex
pected, widespread, and determined indigna
tion of the people made them unwillingly
relinquish for the present their iniquitous
measures for their enslavement. Baffled
in this division of spoils (which pro
mised to be large), these paid highwaymen
again turn their greedy eyes towards our
city in search of plunder. Although nearly
all our public highways have been sold by
their predecessors to pliant corporators,
still two or three remain unpurchased of the
Legislature, and these they propose to out
np and divide among the ."Ring" and the
willing tools who loan their names as cor
porators.
The people of Philadelphia had foolishly
but fondly hoped that the Twelfth and Six-
teenth Streets Railroad job would be the last
of the kind imposed upon them for many years
to come, but from all appearances the attempt
will be seriously made to grant railroad pri
vileges upon Eighteenth and Twentieth
streets. These disinterested patriots are not
particular about building the road. As in the
case of the Twelfth and Sixteenth, they may
he able to Bell the franchise to soma company
which occupies adjacent streets, and which
will purchase the right to save its interests
from ruin. In any event it is a barefaced
And wicked swindle. So far as the wants of
the people on these streots for passenger
railroad facilities are concerned, they are fully
met by the Seventeenth and Nineteenth
Streets line, which runs cars every three or
four minutes. In a great city like Philadel
phia there should be a few streets running
east and west, north and south, upon
which carriages and wagons may pa?9
without the incouvenience, interruption,
and danger attendant upon a street where
passenger cars are thundering Along as n
every right and privilege of the community,
so far as travel is concerned, was vested in
them. Eighteenth street is the favorite drive
north to the Park. Hundreds of carriages
pass over it every afternoon and evening.
The wretched condition of the streeti oc
cupied by passenger railroads makes it unsafe
for those who drive light carriages. Such a
street as Eighteenth is not only a conveni
ence and a comfort, but almost a necessity to
our city.
But two or three streets running north are
unoccupied by railroad tracks, and yet it is
proposed to destroy the best and most beau
tiful of those remaining. The members of
the Legislature from this city and the would
be corporators of this iniquity are perfectly
aware of these fac's, and are further aware
that ninety-nine out of every hundred por
sons living on or near these streets are opposed
to the proposed road. With them it is not
the will of the people or the welfare of the
city that is consulted. The only question is,
How much plunder is there in the scheme?
The question that presents itself to their
vision is not how much inconvenience to the
people and how much injury to the city will
result from this proposed legislation, but each
one calculates closely how much will be his
individual share of the ill-gotten proceeds.
There is no interest of the citizen or oity so
sacred that they would not trample under
foot.
How long, oh patient citizens, will you
endure this burden of shame and injustice
that annua'lyrobs you of your most cherished
rights and privileges under the name of law ?
Will you arise in your just indignation and
strike down these unworthy representatives,
and hold up to public contempt the would-be
corporators in this scheme, who would sell the
dearest rights of the people and sacrifice the
highest interests of the city for personal
greed ?
THE PUBL1 C BUILDINGS.
The following editorial from the Press of
this morning covers the whole ground of the
public buildings controversy, and we lay it
before our readers as an admirable statement
of the exact situation. The only journals which
have opposed the Penn Square site and the
plans of the commissioners are those which
have pecuniary interests in the neighborhood
of Washington and Independence Squares,
and this fact deprives all their arguments of
any value they might have had under other cir
cumstances. The Press previous to the Oo
tober election advocated the Washington
Square site, but its conductor is too shrewd
to oppose his private interests to the publio
wishes in such a matter, and the Press ao
cordingly gracefully accepted the situation
when the result of the election was known
it weuia nave Been more creditable to one or
two of our contemporaries if they had imi
tated its example. The editorial of the Press
is as follows:
The dead-lock being over, the attention of the
Legislature during tne remaining days of Its session
will be devoted, uo doubt, to matters of deep con
cern to the people of tne State. Phlladelphians are
especially interested in tne settlement or tne vexed
question as to the municipal buildings, and It Is to
be hoped such action will be had at Harrisburg as
will eDable the commissioners to proceed at once in
ine penormance oi weir amies.
Our readers are, perhaps, tired of hearing speeches
and reading articles upon this subject, when tiiey
need work; and it is therefore with much reluctance
we venture to recapitulate a few of the reasons why
uic iiKBf uii uuaiu biiuuiu oo permuted to proceed :
First. The act creating it was acqutesoed in bv all
parties (both Interested and otherwise), and no ob
jection to its creation was suggested until after the
election in October.
Second. The opposition to the Bulldlnar Commit.
sion is In a great measure limited to those persons
who are interested in real estate lu the neighborhood
of Independence Square.
Tniru. it was wen understood and agreed that the
decision by the ballot should forever determine the
question of the location of the buildings; and that
question was aeciuea uy is.uuu majority, which
must necessarily have included votes from both po
litical parties, because the highest majority of votes
polled for an; one candidate was 8042.
Fourth. If the present commUslon is abolished,
the old board, by the same act, is revived, and will,
of coarse, proceed to build npon Independence
Square, against the expressed will of the people by
ballot.
Fifth. Unless the work Is proceeded with at once
there will be l'ttle prospect of having it completed
by 1876, and Independence Square and its wretched
court-rooms ard public oillccs will remain to illus
trate the nou-enterpriseof the manufacturing centre
01 me l 11 1 tea mates.
Sixth. The press of PhlladelDnla almost unani
mously favors the will of the people, as expressed in
October last, being obeyed.
aeventn. Any act of the Legislature tending to
retard this great and necessary work will be an en
couragement to future factious antagonism to public
Improvements, while an honest adherence to and
compliance with the well-ascertained views of the
people or Philadelphia npon this subject will do
much to check such embarrassing opposition la the
iuiure.
FOOT-PATHS IN FA1RH0 VNT PARK.
Faibmoumt Pakk is the glory of Philadelphia.
At this season of the year, especially, the many
thousands of citizens who throng ta its de
lightful avenues bear testimony to the utility
and to the universal appreciation of its many
charms and its health-reviving qualities. The
Park Commissioners deserve credit for their
general good management and for the care
with which they have avoided tawdry orna
ments and patchwork display. But it is inti
mated that, in one respect at least, even their
management is not above criticism. It is
said that while the work of completing
broad carriage-ways goes bravely on, compa
ratively little attention is being paid to the
construction or foot-paths for the use of
pedestrians. There should be no room left
for cavil or criticism on a point like this.
Tbe Park is intended quite as much ay.
even far more for the million than for the
millionaire. It should be adapted in every
respect to the use and enjoyment of those
who have not the means to drive through its
spacious grounds in their private coaches or
in hired carriages. In the Central Park equal
care was simultaneously manifested through
out in the opening of foot-paths and carriage
roads, and a similar policy should prevail
here.
NE W PAIL WA Y COM DIN A T10NS.
The late flurry in the stock market in the
pi ices of the shares of the Camden and Amboy
Ilailroad is supposed to be indicative of the
ppeody ratification of the long-talked-of lease
of the New Jersey Railroads by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company. There is apparently
little doubt that this consolidation will soon
be made. A series of railway connections of
almost inconceivable magnitude will then be
placed under one management. The combi
nations of the New York railway
rings, gigantic as they are, will
be completely overshadowed by
those perfected and projected here; and in
one important sense Philadelphia will, to a
much greater extent than any other point in
this country, be the centre of its railway sys
tem. This city should manifestly derive great
advantages from such a condition of affairs,
but the question whether she will reap them
depends largely upon the degree of activity
and enterprise manifested by her merchants
and manufacturers. If they properly im
prove the facilities for cheap and speedy in
tercommunication with all points in the West,
South, Southwest, Northwest, East, and
Northeast which are daily increasing, they
can undoubtedly render Philadelphia the
leading mart of internal commerce;
and this is, after all, the great point to be
aimed at by the cities which are striving for
commercial supremaoy. The foreign tra!e
of the United States is of small importance
when compared with its varied and wonder
fully extensive domestic interchanges; and the
American railway system opens up fields for
traffic which far exceed in extent and produc
tiveness those opened by water transporta
tion. In this field Philadelphia should and
can, by proper efforts, become supreme; and
every step towards the perfection of her rail
way system should incite her business men to
renewed exertions.
Quite a number of the collieries in various
coal districts are about resuming operations.
Industrious miners and coal operators are
equally weary of protracted inactivity, and
while complete harmony is restored at some
points, at others the only obstacle to resump
tion is the fear of violence. If the laws of
tbe Commonwealth are not worthless paper,
and if the Executive and Judicial authorities
are not wofully incompetent to discharge
their duties, that fear should speedily be dis
pelled. If there is any one offense for which
men deserve to be severely punished, it is the
crime of arresting the natural of course indus
try, and preventing laborers who wish to
work from peacefully pursuing their chosen
avocations; and by the stringent enforeoement
of the correct doctrine on this one vital point,
nine-tenths of the troubles of the oaal strikes
will be avoided henceforth and forever.
The Scnday Dispatch. With its last Issue the
Sunday DitpatcH completed Its twenty-fourth year
and Its twenty-fourth volume, arald the good wishes
of a host of friends, who have found much to ad
mire in its able management and in the sturdy In
dependence with which it has discussed many of the
important public qun.tlona that bare arisen from
week to week during Its career. The Dispatch was the
first successful Sunday newspaper ever established
in Philadelphia, and It has not only conquered many
of the prejudices which existed a quarter of a cen
tury ago against such a publication, but it has won
a high place for itself among the journals of Phila
delphia as an able and eloquent exponent of public
opinion. The Sunday Dinpatoh has been essentially
a local paper, and It baa advocated the local Interests
of Philadelphia in a manner that has obtained for it
the regards of public-spirited citizens of all parties.
Many important reforms have been brought about
mainly through the Influence of the Dispatch, and
its conductor! are entitled to the congratulations of
their fellow-journalists as well as the public at large
upon the near approach of their sliver anniversary,
when they will celebrate a quarter of a century of
personal prosperity and intelligent efforts to promote
the interests of the public. .
