Sir: The Governor seems to be fully aware that
crisis has been reached. that something must be
done 10 relieve the Overaxed farmer, and frankly al
mits that from various causes agriculture is greatly
depressed and that taxes numerous and oppressive
as we'll as unequally distributed. This admitted.
why not suggest some practicable way whereby the
evil so Justly complained OF might be avertcd and a
radical reform made. instead of seemingly u question
the power OF the Legislature 70 do much, lest they m
the risk OF accomplish hing nothing or course ms
methods Laws the possibility at the door OF the LeS
stature and the people will be looking for thorough
reform and hope to personal property made 10 bear
its lust proportion Of burden and mortgages assessed
10 the holder instead Of the debtor IN the amount IN
paid. Why should farmer pay tax on what he
owes and the capitalist be exempt what he owns
