The Burdens OF Taxation.

In every campaign in this State since
1876, the cry of "Rcform" in the gov
crnmcnt of the State has caught our car
and VIC have bcen led to bcliove that the
meaning of "RcfOrm," as used, was an
intended reduction of the taxes cxacted
from tho citizens and a corresponding
reduction of government expenditure.
From 1876 to 1900 the State levy varied
from II to 81 mills, with no reduction OF
expenditure. Under these taxes the
voters of tho State wore not satisfied,
and in 1890 they became rcstlcss. The
people arose in their might and presented
n solid phalanX in a determined effort to
change their ruling class. After a bit,
ter and hard-fought campaign success
crowned their efforts.
When the result Of that election was
the mass of voters retired
from tho field of politics, satisfied in the
belief that victory meant relief to them
and tho State. Many expressed the
opinion that no benefits would accrue
from the change, and for this expression
they wcro severely censurcd; so sure
were the victors that their friends held
tho reins and would guide the Ship of
State Alright; they would brook no criti-
cism. They consolcd themselves for six
years in tho hope hat the promised
benefits were only deferred and that
their friends would sOon accomplish
-5GHo"G;al rnenlis-- They conceded that
it took time to solve tho problem.
After eight years. waiting it transpircs
thatthc wiShcd-fOr reform is q snare and
a dclusion. There has been no ~rcaliza-
ton Of the good results looked for as a
return for their earnest efforts.
Since 1890, while the assessed value of
tho property of the State has increased
some SIG, 000, 1000, still there is no decrease
in the levy, and we are blandly told it
must yet go higher.
We have refunded tho State debt at an
annftal saving of 500, OHU Why is there
an increased expenditure by tho State ?
Cannot the government be conducted
efficiently Oh less money than formerly ?
The corn cribs and meat houses ask
tho question. The family circle asks the
question, The simple, imperative needs
Of the country ask the question in thun-
der tones.
We feel that the stringoncy of tho
times should induce our law-making
bodies to answer the question with an
emphatic eyes" But tho enforcement
OF this kind of reform must come, as it
always has, from the rank and flo Of
the people at the ballot box.
From 1876 to 1890 tho price of farm
products was very nearly double that of
to-day. a dollar to-day will purchase
about twice as much as it would then.
Products arc worth less, and q dollar is
worth more. 1t takes only about half
tho dollars to defray the expenses Of
living now that it did then.
From 1876 to 1890 the salaries of State
officers were 81, 100; that of Governor
and Judges $500. Tho salaries of
State officers are now 81 800; the Cover
nor s., 700; The Judges 50, 750. The num-
Dor of State officers has been increased
nearly enough to consume I'll that is
saved in tho salary reduction.
