Prom the first it was understood very generally amongst all classes that the property tax was what could be fairly called a secret tax, inasmuch ns none of the particulars were to be made public, the total revenue from it being all that was made known. In this we do not doubt for a moment we shall find those who agree with us on every side, and equal with ours will be their surprise to learn that a return of all payers and exempted non-payers oj property tax, the different amounts paid, amount of foreign capital untaxed, and totals of real and personal property taxed and exempted, according to the Hon. Mr Whittakei, is now being printed. That this is a direct breach of faith there is no denying. Our member will mayhap deal with this question from his seat in the House.
