~Ss~-~~v-0
Gov. Bakor, Of Indiana, in a join
discussion with Senator Hendrickt
at Peru, said on the subject of Equal
Senator Hendricks says y,s3 Chat they
are in favor Of equal taxation, equal
taxation Of every species Of proper
ty according to Its real, value, inclu-
ding government bonds: and he says
that they are in favor Of equalising
and reducing taxation as far as is
consistent with the public faith. Let
me ask him if he wants to reduce it
any faster than is consistent with
the public faith? I reckon not. TAp1
planse. i ask him what they mean
by equal taxation Of every species
property according to IL real val
ue including government bonds. Jos
scph G. Mel Donald says it means just
what i says, and that it is SO unam>
biguous that no man can fail to una
derstand it. It, does not mean state
taxation, for this was q national CON
vention, laying down . national plat.

NOT far eonrress to sav how indiana
shall ,tax her ncople So that this
clause in her plato must mean ma
tional taxation And I will now call
