Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Ways and Means, to Whom Was Referred So Much of the Governor's Message as Relates to the Finances of the State: May 1, 1852 So far as our 0 vn people are concerned, the advantage of the partial reduction recommended would be so slight as scarcely to be appreciated by them. Indeed it would lead to much dissatis faction and arouse again the Spirit of discontent; for different tu terests being affected by dinerent taxes, the repeal or diminution of any one species of tav' would but excite complaint, that other taxes equally as obnoxious, were permitted to stand untouched. The taxation as it now exists must be regarded as a system. No reduction can be safely or judiciousi 1 made, which is not based on a revision 01 it as a system, and having in view constantly, certain great principles waich must control any re examination of it.
