The absurdity and gross injustice of the highway taxation of our Royal Rulers was also clearly set forth by George J. Kin del in the Evening Post, of Denver, Col. , of January 20, 1897. English crock- ery is shipped to-day from Liverpool to Denver for $1. 12 per hundred, while from Trenton, New Jer- sey, the tax is $1. 53 per hundred. Both are carried via the . . . Railroad to Denver. The Eng- 1 66 A GENERAL FREIGHT lish product is carried 6000 miles, the American 2000 miles, yet the tax on the... American crockery is nearly forty per cent, greater than that levied on the English. " For years, " says Mr. Kindel, " I pur- chased metallic bedsteads in England, not because they were better or cheaper with the custom's tariff added, but because I could save $75 a car in rail- way tariffs, " and then he goes on to speak of dis- criminations between different sections of the country similar to this railway discrimination in favor of the foreigner against the citizen. On a shipment of sixty tons of goods, made up of 1200 different articles put up in hundred-pound pack- ages, the transport tax from Colorado Common Points to the Pacific Coast is $3060.
