The Tax Question Before the People

- - ~ NNSoAtSu S0tOIo Huo t0Op6s
1t has been understood for some time
that Governor Chamberlain would not
approve the, tax bill. 1t has been ex-
pected that he would, in some, informal
way, signify his objections to it. But
veto. which is formally the return of the
bill with his objections to the house in
which 1t originated, is, of course, not to
be expected, until the Legislature shall
again convene. The refusal Of the Co.
vernon to approve of it, the necessity of
waiting till the opening of the next
session before this refusal can become a
public Act, place the whole question of
.. the taxes and incidentally the subject of
salaries and offices, claims and deficien-
cies, fairly before the public. 1t is their
part to give these matters thorough con-
sideration, so that we'll settled and
judictous public opinion demanding
what is right, refusing every excess in
the matter of taxation, and Insisting
upon certain other reforms which will
tend to reduoe:the levy, shall be felt as
an element Id Che 3determinationso9 the
question next winter As we have said.
