most earnest efforts to secure legislation
which will rid our state of the presence OF all
who, by word or deed, attempt to strike a
blow at our government.

use diligent means to secure reduction in tax
alton. We commend the action whereby the
state came to the aid of the school fund, by in
creasing the appropriation, thereby relieving
| the tax rate. We realize that a thorough edu

they may not reach maturity in ignorance.

| beloved President our sincere coincidence in
| the dark hour of her trial.
