people have said they don't want reform

party; it was the legislation that wasn't

subjects that the Legislature should con-
slider Is the laws Of assessment and tax

taxes, thereby making the burden on
those who do that much greater. The
question is easier to discuss than 1t Is to
solve. The Legislature as rule does
not have time enough to consider these
important matters, but we hope next
winter time will be taken and the laws
improved.
