ture will he sufficient to meet all the
demands on the Treasury and leave

Of the State. as required by the Con
stitution. am in accord with those
who believe as the debt decreases
there should be corresponding re-
lief afforded to those interests that
bear the burden of taxation; but at
this iuncture | would regard any fur
ther reduction of the revenues as un-
wise. In our list of taxes, however,
may be found some that are not strict
" "uniform upon the same class OF
Subjects" and very unfair in their
operation and think, therefore, re-
vision Of DIR tax laws is now desir-
able if not necessary.
And here are some suggestions
that every citizen should read and
take to heart. The ideas may not be
new but they need to be repeated and
impressed upon all the people, for in
difference to the results of elections
is growing evil and is disgrace to
republican government:
The New Constitution having been
approved by a very decided majority
Of the people, it is expected that all
citizens will yield cheerful obedience
to its behests and unite to strictly
and faithfully enforce its provisions.
As each days experience reveals
the methods Of administration, the
conviction grows stronger in my
mind that good government depends
not so much upon written laws as
upon the disposition of the people to
comply si.h the demands of the laws
and the determination Of those dele
gated to execute them to see that
their mandates arc enforced. Reform,
it will be conceded. cannot be obtain
ed by mere constitutional enactment
nor by surrounding offices and trusts
with additional restraints.
