THE present odious tax law is a
Democratic measure. passed to rescue
the financial credit Of the state"
This gem is from the speech OF
United States Senator Fairbanks al
the Republican state convention held
at Fl. Wayne June 2s. 1892. That 1,
has rescued the financial credit Of the
state is evidenced by the fact that the
state debt has been reduced more than
one-half since it's passage. and all the
money has come from the taxing Of
corporations under that law. Mr.
Fairbanks was then q corporation
lawyer and echoed the sentiments Of
the corporations when he called the
law "odious." Everything Is "odious'
to corporations that makes them beal
any part Of the public burdens.
