He knew that many Of them were sincere
u desirious Of promoting the peoples Ia

Mr.. Looney here discussed the general

things that at Its last analysis the
burdens Of taxation fell up,n and were

higher prices for the necessarlss Of life

consumers but largely the laboring sle-
ment, the formers ard wage esrners. Yet

from their taxation were much lefs than
