ing the state Of a rightnl revenue and un-
Justly distributing the burden of taxation.
In this direction I desire to call your at
tention to the report of the revenue com
mission authorized by the acts OF the
Twcnty-fourth general assembly.
There are no good reasons why the state
of Iowa should not Increase its revenue, as
several OF our sister states have done, by
taxing franchises, writs and express COM
panies, and by levying upon collateral in
heriance
There will be many questions of grave
Importance for the consid ration Of the
Twenty-SiNth general assembly but let me
emphasize the fact that in my judgment
no other issue is of such vital Importance
to the progress and welfare of Iowa as that
Of raising the necessary revenue for the
proper maintenance of our state by n fair
and equitable system of taxation.

We own up that we don't like to have other
men vote money out of our pocket in taxes.
We don't like to have men vote men into power
who use the government to foster robber mo-
nopolies. We don't like to have men continue
conditions that will land our children in serf-
dom. We believe that there is too much of
the idea among voters that it is all right to
take neighbor into hole if they accompany
him. Might as well claim that it is all right
to defle fountain if the men who dehe it use
of the water Whatever governmental condi-
tions may exist, we and our children will have
to share them. We want good government for
the same reason that we would want pure water,
viz: health and happiness.
We own that we are tired of having the peo-
pie shift the government from one set of men
to another set of men, both sets pursuing the
same line of policy No good has come of
such action so far, and no good will come of it
in the future.
We are no prophet, and yet we predict, with
the assurance of certainty, that the nation is
again OH the eve of great disappointment in
that the people again willing to change
men without changing measures, when it is
measures that must be changed to effect
any good purpose.
