honesty and capab.lity tina, will warrant
the people in placing him in Office. That
Is the one angle and only question that
should be discussed. No matter by
whom imposed, taxes have to be levied
and paid, nor does it decrease their
amount one cent, or their burden one
Iot, because they are levied by this or
that party. The burden has to be borne,
and it makes little difference to the
bearer, who went through the fofmality
Of imposing It. The critical moment is
when this money is spent, and then it is /
that thoroughly Honest, competent men
are wanted 10 see that it is disbursed for /
lawful purpose, and no more is paid !
out than is absolutely necessary to effect |
that purpose. People are tired, are sick |
oil paying taxes for which no equivalent |
is received. The point has been reached /
when bat few straws will break the /
canel's back, and it is time to inquire |
whether 1t Is not dangerous to be expert |
mentipg as to the exact number that will |
cause the dreaded catastrophe. To pre-. |
vent any further attempts at stealing and
corruption, the people OF the State
should hold meetings and organize into |
solid compact body, whose behests will !
have to be respected and obeyed That !
IS the only way to make their power felt. |
Let them take the reins in their own
hands, and If parties and politicians do
not get out OF the way, drive right over
them. Politicians with their parasites
and pIunderers have ruled long enough,
and stolen all they could lay their hands
on. Now let the people have chance,
and see If they cannot manage the affairs
without the assistance of the political
knaves, who have 50 long cajoled, plum
dered and oppressed them. We think
they can, and it only requires the at
tempt to be made to secure the most
complete and wonderful success.
