Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Observations on the Injustice, Inequalities and Anomalies of the Present System of Taxation: On Stage Carriages in England, Scotland Wales No great internal financial relief (excepting the repeal of the Corn Laws) granted since the establishment of the Universal Penny Postage, can bear comparison with the advantages the abolition of the present system of taxation on public horse power in Great Britain will ultimately confer on the commercial trade of these kingdoms, or with the amount of prosperity and comfort which it is calculated to ensure to all classes of our population. In removing restrictions placed upon the freedom of commerce, the general welfare of nations is promoted: by the relinquishment of a revenue derived from the public conveyance of the masses, relief will not only be given to the trader, but other business facilities will be increased, and the links of interchange of communication between man and man, home, kindred, relatives and friends, more closely knit together. The present tax must be censured, on account of those characteristic inequalities and anomalies which are the elements of injustice and oppression to the trader; and looked at in a popular light, must be condemned, because dangerous for its restrictive and prohibitory influence. There is a positive analogy between the principles which dictated the giving up of a revenue from the carrying of letters and those for abolishing the revenue from the carrying of persons. The legislature, which has established the former principles, has partially recognised the latter; and it is to obtain an impartial act of justice that the movement for the abolition of these duties has arisen. There are three great authorities for relieving the Stage Carriage Trade from its present burthens: Firstly, we have the late Sir Robert Peel; secondly, the Report of a Select Committee of the House of Commons; and, thirdly, Mr. McCulloch. A most powerful reason for destroying the present inequality of "taxation on public conveyances," is supplied by the speech of Sir Robert Peel, in 1839. That great statesman considered that "there should be no inequality of taxation" of public conveyances; and if the House of Commons will now indorse Sir Robert´s opinion, and also say "there shall be no inequality of taxation upon such conveyances," it must extinguish the duty on Stage Carriages, because those vehicles should be placed on the same equality as those public conveyances which pay no duty (A). Steam Vessels carrying passengers, are an important item of competition with horse locomotives, and they pay no dut WHATEVER. Railway Trains (Parliamentary), carrying the same class of passengers as Stage Carriages and Omnibuses, pay no duty.
