TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROPRIETORY TRUSTEES OF SWANSEA HARBOUR. CENTLEMEN, -Having a very large and direct X interest in all that affects the prosperity of this Port, and being of opinion that a critical period in its history has now ar- rived, I have resolved to offer myself as a Candidate for the office of Poprietory Trustee of Swansea Harbour. I should have felt some hesitation in thus opposing Mr. Budd (one of the out-going Trustees), but that in my opinion he has failed on more than one occasion to evince that faith in the capa- bilities of our Port, and earnest solicitude for its improvement, which we are justified in expecting from every member of the Harbour Trust. In soliciting your vote at the election which takes place on the 1st of March next, I pledge myself to aid, to the best of my ability, every effort which may be made for the development of the trade of this Port, and especially to further any well-devised scheme for the deepening of the entrance to our Harbour. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, THOS. CORY. Coleridge House, Swansea, 19th February, 1872. 371 THE SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. CARDIFF DELIVERY.

THURSDAY, FEB. 22, 1872. ,
THURSDAY, FEB. 22, 1872. THE meeting recently held at Portsmouth, with the MAYOR in the chair, was another overt proof of that dissatisfaction which a high rate of income- tax never fails to call forth, especially among the classes assessed under schedule D, and we are not surprised to hear that I I the income-tax on trades and professions was condemned as impolitic in principle, and offensive and obnoxious in its opera- tion nor that an opinion was expressed" that in the present circumstances of the country schedule D ought to be abolished." Most persons, specially liable to a certain tax, think that it ought to be abolished or reduced, in preference to any other, when surplus revenue will admit of it. Mr. LOWE, it is well understood, will have a surplus when he comes to unfold his Budget and the hitch in the Alabama arbitration has at least done us this good that we are not likely to be called upon to provide any sum towards damages out of next year's revenue. As far as we can see, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER need not take a possible compensation to the United States into account at all in his present calculation. The Americans seem to prefer keeping their grievance, and, on the whole, perhaps we shall profit by keeping our money and humouring our erratic friends. This being the case and a surplus, as we have said, being anticipated, it is natural to expect, as a great financial operation of the year, the reduction of the income-tax to the figure at which it stood before the twopence was added to the impost last session. But the schedule D folks wish to obtain all the reduction for themselves, and to obtain immunity from income-tax altogether. We grant they have reason for dissatisfaction on several points as com- pared with other income-tax payers. First, the recent increase in the amount of the tax laid upon the shoulders of many a small tradesman or clerk a burden of taxation which he was no more capable. of bearing than the superior aritisan or mechanic who entirely escape secondly, many persons assessed under Schedule D, must always have the suspicion that they are paying more than their due share, because others make false returns, and evade their legal liability and, thirdly, it is undoubtedly hard that a man should have to pay as heavily on an income obtained by labour as another man pays on an equivalent in- come derived from realised property. To a certain extent, it is like taking a per-centage of seed-grain, instead of a proportion of the harvest-crop. The fact that he gains an income by his own labour, that it is insecure, and that out of it he has to pro- vide for the future, if he makes any provision at all-these considerations will always render a large proportion of the persons assessed under schedule D dissatisfied, so long as they have to pay the same amount of taxation on income as is paid by landowners or fundholders. But to talk of abo- lishing the tax on trades and professions altogether, is out of the question. Any tax on trade is, per- haps, "impolitic," as the Portsmouth people say but while a very large proportion of the national expenditure is on account of the protection of trade and commerce, and has nothing to do with the land of the country or its security, trade and commerce must submit to either direct or in- direct taxation. On the whole, the former is un- doubtedly the most economic and least impolitic means of raising the revenue, which must be ob- tained for the service of the State, but which at best is an evil inflicted on the country. What is wanted is not the exemption of any class, but a fair adjustment of rates of assessment according to kinds of income. If this were effected, and the tax on salaries and wages were levied at the time of their payment by means of receipt stamps-a sug- gestion which we present to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—the operation of schedule D might be rendered far less unpleasant, while re- maining equally productive. Those who pay under that schedule are now mulcted too heavily in com- parison with people of certain incomes, and they have also the mortification, in many cases, of know- ing that persons earning as much as themselves escape altogether. There is a fine chance for Mr. LOWE to retrieve the credit he lost last year, if he can give us a justly-graduated Income-tax.
RIVAL BURIALS' BILLS.
RIVAL BURIALS' BILLS. There are now two Burials' Bills in Parliament. One is promoted by Mr. OSBORNE MORGAN and the other introduced in the House of Lords. On Tuesday even- ing the Peers expended a quarter of an hour upon a measure which provides that special burial grounds shall be secured for Dissenters, and insists that the broadest line of demarcation should be drawn between Churchmen and Nonconformists after death. The Lower House went into committee on Mr. MORGAN'S Bill, the same evening, and an amendment to the effect that any service not according to a published ritual should consist only of prayers, hymns, and Scripture, was accepted by the hoa. member for Denbighshire. It is extremely improbable that the Bill in the Lords will pass into law, but there is every prospect that the measure in the Lower House will receive the Royal assent, albeit some of its provisions may yet be modi- fied in a slight degree.
THE IMAGINARY COMET.
THE IMAGINARY COMET. As might have been expected, the sensational an- nouncement of a comet, bigger than any previously discovered, approaching our earth, with which it was to "collide," as Americans would say, on the lo¿th of August, turns out to be all moonshino. This comet is a kind of Mrs. HARRIS—there is no such a body. People were positively beginning to get frightened about it; but they now breathe again. The Swiss Times has either been hoaxed, or has tried to alarm the credulous and superstitious.
THE SWANSEA CORPORATION AND…
THE SWANSEA CORPORATION AND THE SCHOOL BOARD. The Corporation have agreed to pay for what the MAYOR called their Valentine." At the adjourned meeting of the Council, on Tuesday, it was decided by a majority of ten to seven, that the Corporation should present a precept for the sum of 9400, to show cause for the non-payment of which they were served with a mandamus, on the 14th, at the instigation of the School Board. The Overseers are, therefore, empowered to collect the amount forthwith, and the matter, for a time, has probably been set at rest. In due course the public will learn full particulars of the bill of costs, which even a trifling amount of tentative litigation, we fear, must have necessitated.
MARRIAGE WITH DECEASED WIFE'S…
MARRIAGE WITH DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. The second reading of this Bill was carried in the House of Commons, yesterday, by a majority of forty- eight. As there is a growing feeling in favour of the Bill, and the argument-if such it may be called-as to the promoters being breakers of the law as it stands, urged against it by Mr. HOPE and others, has less effect the more frequently it is advanced, we may expect that the measure will pass before the close of the present session. Already, in the Lords, the Bishops are giving way, and when the episcopal sheep jump through the hedge, those of the lay Peers who have hitherto taken their cue from the right reverend prelates will not be slow to follow.
THE GAME LAWS.
THE GAME LAWS. Yesterday afternoon the House of Commons was oc- cupied with a discussion on the Game Laws. Mr. HARDCASTLE is of opinion the police should have the same power with respect to poachers, that they have in the case of persons who commit larceny, and that seeing a depredator with game in his possession, which they have good reason for believing was stolen, the constable should have the right to apprehend him on suspicion. He also proposed to make game the property of the occupier of the land, and extend the interpretation of the word to rooks and other animals not at present included within the category of the Game Law. To this Mr. STRAIGHT objected. While content to vest the ownership in the occupier, he saw no reason why rooks should be protected more than sparrows and cock- robins." Mr. McLAGAN would eliminate wood-pigeons and rabbits from the proposed list, and other members took more or less of exception to the details. At length Mr. CARNEGIE came to the rescue with a practical suggestion to refer the matter to a committee. In this proposition he was supported by Mr BRUCE, and an amendment was ultimately carried. The result we hope may be that some modification speedily will take place in a law which is productive of more misery in its un- equal operation, than probably any on the statute-book of the realm.
THANKSGIVING; DAY.
THANKSGIVING; DAY. The MAYOR of Swansea is of opinion that Tuesday next should be observed as a holiday, ana in other places a feeling is gaining ground in favour of some sort of observance of the day. In the House of Commons, on Tuesday night, Mr. GLADSTONE gave it as his opinion, based upon information derived from Ministers most closely connected with com- mercial men, that the proclamation of a national holiday would interfere with trade to an extent which would be generally deprecated. Several letters from various parts of the Principality have reached us, calling attention to the subject. As, however, the ques- tion is one essentially within the province of every town to decide for itself,the matter may well be left in the hands of local authorities. At Swansea the MAYOR has taken the initiative, and it remains to be seen whether his fellow townsmen will adopt his Worship's suggestion. ,,e So far as we art aware no movement has taken place in Cardiff or Merthyr, but at Carmarthen and Cardigan there seems to be an expectation, among many of our correspondents, that the day will be marked by rejoicing and festivity, if not by formal worship and thanks- giving.
MERTHYR.'
MERTHYR. THE NINE HOURS' MOVEMENT. — A meeting of the master tradesmen of Merthyr was held at the Owain Glyndwr, on Tuesday nignt, to consider the memorial of the workmen for a concession of the nine hours. Mr. IJ. R. Lumley presided. There was a brief, practical discus- sion, in the course of which resolutions were adopted, unanimously conceding the request of the workmen but stipulating that the division of the full week should be left to the various trades, the trades engaged in building operations, however, to adopt one code of time for all shops. The resolutions were ordered to be advertised in the local papers, the South Wales Daily News, and other papers. LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.—The ordinary meeting of this board was held on Wednesday. Mr. Win. Jones, chairman, presiding. The clerk stated that no applica- tions had been received for the rental of the sewage plots at Ynysygored, and the board thereupon determined to plant the ground themselves. Letters were received from the chief constables of Glamorgan, Brecon, and Monmouthshire, relative to the enforcement of the provisions of the Sanitary Act, in contagious; diseases. The two former promised the hearty aid of their forces; but Major Herbert thought the legiti- mate duties of the police in his county were suffi' ciently burdensome, without making them sanitary inspectors. At the same time he would request them to give all necessary aid and information to sanitary authorities where they were established- The report of the Surveyor was read, but it contained nothing of special interest to the public. It stated that he had been to Bristol and inspected the Baths and Wash- houses there, with the view of some such place being con- structed here, but the Board thought they had enough on their hands already for some time to ceme.—The Clerk said he had received bills from Messrs. Spicket and Price, and Mr. Walter Davis, for law charges in connection with the Craig Evan Leyshon Common affair, amounting to £661 4s. 6d. and from Messrs. Luard and Sherley, a. bill amounting to 228 odd in connection with the sam^ matter. In reply to several members, the Clerk said he thought the items in both bills, which he particularised, were exorbitant charges. The bills would be taxed. There was nothing else before the Board, the Medical Officer's report being of a routine character. Ji 1
