PROPERTY TAX.

(To tbe Editor). g IH —Not having as yet had the above tax forms left at my house, or seen them else where, perhaps you will inform myselt and others who may not.be lawyers, whether in cnses where an individual can swear that his or her property is far below the amount that may be subject to taxation, viz., £500, they will still have to go through the ceremony of exposing (on the other hanaj their poverty. If so, then the motives o! the Government are sufficiently degrading to demand, in very truth, the uprising of every man and woman in New Zealand to oppose it, the oath of the taxed being equal to that of the tax-gatherers.-I am, [The Act refused the forms to be filled up under penalty of £100. It also provides that all persons who have not received forms arc bound to apply for them. As a matter of actual practice, however, we understand that the Deputy Property Tax Commissioner is only issuing forms in cases where there is reasonable ground for supposing that the person served may possess £500 worth ol property clear of all debt and encumbrance. We should suppose, though not in strict keeping with the Act, that when a person has no real property, and his personalty is under £000, a general statement to that effect written on the for* would ba B uih. dent; It ccitainly should be so. Inc clauses in the Act enforcing secrecy upon officers, requires every por»on employed ir the Department to appear before a Justice of the Peace, and take an oath of secrecy and fidelity, and the penalty for acting in contravention of this oath is "imprison ment for any term not exceeding twelve months with or without hard labour. - Ed, E.B.] _^

THE MILK QUESTION.

(To the Editor.) g IB _l would with your permission make one or two remarks in reply to your corres pondent " Fair J'lay," who writes so oracu larly on the milk question. Be says a cen tral testing depot such as I suggested, "would be found slightly inconvenient. Possibly it would by the milknitJn. Bttt are not the preservation of the public health and the prevention of the sale of a spurious article, of sufficient importance to justify the authorities in compelling the small class who sell milk to submit to a " slight incon venience ?" The depOt system is in my opiuion, by far the best that can be devis-ed for checking the evil of adulteration. There aie towns in the United Kingdom in which the system is worked, and no one is heard to cry out on account of its inconven ience ; in fact honest milkmen are glad to have the opportunity ot pubiicly prov ing the purity of their milk. The method of punishing the man who brings an adulterated article to undergo the ordeal of the test is somewhat summary, but exceedingly effective. TJie contents of a'l his cans afe unceremoniously emptied into the street channe'. Precisely the same Hystem is adopted in Paris for the fe.ting of wine, and the impure article, when difco vercd, is thrown into the Seine. "Fair Play's" BUggestion that a standard price sliould be placed upou pure milk is one of the wildest propositions I have heard for some time. It U utterly impracticable, be ing an interference with the right of the in dividual to fix the price at which he will -ell hi* goods. Besides, it is not clear how the iixin^ of the price could suppress the evil complained of, namely, adulteration. The other suggestion of your correspondent ihat householders might warn constables to be present at the matinal visits of their milkmen would have, I am afraid, the double effect of largely increas ing the police force, and earning for ~nd the unenviable reputation of a city of informers. "Fair Play" asks, " Why should it be said to be dishonest or dishonourable for a milkman to sell an article of lefcs value to a person who beats him down in price, any more than it is s.aid to be dishonourable in a tea-dealer for not giving a customer tea worth 3s perib. when lie is disposed to give him only 2s ?" There ii a wide difference between the two cases. The grocer does not profess to give tea of the value of 3s per lb. for 2s, and every cus tomer knows that there are various kinds of tea, and that the price is governed by the purity and strength. But the milkman who sells inferior milk does not tell his cua 'omer that he can sell him a better quality tor a higher price, Dnd Dy a supDrcssio veri iie leads the purchaser to believe that he is receiving the unadulterated fluid. It is not supposed that tbere can be two kinds of milk, and every householder presumes what lie receives to bj pure. While not wishing to condemn the milk vendors of the city on masfe, I think it wiJl scarcely i>e doubted that adulteration is practised to ;i very large extent, and whether it be done with pun: water or impure water it is unfair to the consumers. I hope that some of our iJity Councillors will take action in this inatt-r, and !>ec if the suggestion for a testing depot l>i feasible or not. Perhaps the market might be found to be a« suitable ;i place us any, on account of its central position.—Yours, &c., AI.CIBIADES,

A CLOSE SHAVE.

A PKISON 11ARBER WHO MEANT MURDER. You cau readily understand why a news paper man would be attracted to visit a State prison, but you may well wonder why he should seek permission for the prison barber to sbavb him when he knew tbat barber t'> he a muni ore r serving a life sentence, yet, in the composition of most niOn there is a yearniiu'to tread upon the -kirts of adventure— to i-tatid, us it were, dost; to the edgo of some abyaa down which tho fall would be certain destruction. All men will take cliauccs, but some men will risk everything when this feeling is upon them. "So you want old Jack to shave you?' repeated the Warden as a look of astonish ment crossed his face. "Ye?." " Don't you know that he is a murderer ?' " Yes." 11 And iv fur life?' "Yes." "Oh 1 I'd sooner have a snake crawling over my face than his black lingers, which cut the throats of his wife and two children! What is to prevent him from smashing your jugular vein ?" "Nothing !.' " Yet you will take the risk?" " I will. I want to be shaved by a mur derer. I want the sensatiou of having him pass a keen razor slowly over my face and around my throat, and of knowing that I staud in the door of death !" "Old Jack has beeu ugly-tempered of late." "I don't care." "There isn'nt a convict in the prison who doesu't fear his razor.'' "So much the better. I will take all tho chances." "You may try it," said the warder after a long silcnoi", " but " •' ttutnothiug. Is there a glass in front; of the chair ?" ." Yes." "That's all I w.int. Lef, me go into the barber's shop alone and make my owu ar rangemcois. Tim's it—open the door—so long—doii'i woivy." Old JacK was one of tho prison Inrbers. Every eomict know liiiii asa tiiple-murder -er. He had made awful threats, he had no one to s;iy a pood word for him, but all dreaded him. He was a man about 50 years old, slightly gray, thick-set, and no one could Hud a pleasant line in his face. As to his heart, he had slashed the throats of his family, and piled tho corpses iv a corner, aud slept and ate in tho next room until the horrible odour brought • the police and dis covery. "Shave," I said, as I entered his little den, threw oil' hat and coat aud sat down in his hard chair. He'was seated on a stool behind me strop ping a razor. Ho looked up in surprise seemed puzzled to know who I was andlwhy I had come in, and then tested the razor on the point of his bare thumb. I could see all tins in the glass. Fe looked up in a furtive way, passed the razor over the strop a few times more and then slowly rose up and DRgan preparing the lather. He dida't like me. That was plain enough by the u.L'ly glances from the corners of his eyes. I had no busiues iv there in the rust place, and then I had probably dis turbed his reverie or broken in on his plans. He didn't know whether he would shave me or not. He stopped making lather, set his jaw more firmly, and the look iv his eyes grew ugly. " Didn't you hear me 2" I demanded, aa I turned on him ot a sudden. "Go ahead and shave me." "Yes, sah !" nc growled as he lifted up the lather aud advanced. He knew I did not belong to the prison. He also reasoned that I was a strauger It puzzled him to know why I entered his den, as I had been shaved the day previous. I could see_ that he was bothered, but I was glad of it. He reasoned with himself all i tho time he was putting on the lather and he got mad over it. He began to see that it was sort of an iutrusion and imposition and he picked up his razor with a spiteful grab. Yet I would aggravate and anger
