It seems to me that no Senator will desire to impose the burdens of public taxation upon this class of homes. It is especially important in this District where. owing to the exigencies of the war. there flocked in here in the last years of the war and since a large number of colored persons who had beet slaves and whose habits as to industry. frugality. care for themselves. remained to bo formed under the new cirenustances which encountered them. and the encouragement of that clas4 of perspns especially to acquire and hold homes. is certainly a very important consideration in framing our tax policy. I feel quite sure that the Senator who has this bill in charge. representing as he does a Stato which has been so distinguished for the liberality of its homestead laws and which is reaping the benelit of that liberality today in the great immigration which is flocking there of workingmen from all parts of the worldI feel quite sure that that Senator will concur in the policy of this amendment.
