Senator Every committee that had
real law features appearing before il
appreciated the presence OF Mr.. Justice
en- the committee He gave every mat
ter good sound, logical thought. He
studied them and when he offered advice
on any matter mis- advice was gladly
taken. Senator Justice Is an exception
ally strong man, possessing abilities Of
a high order He fought for better rail
road laws, laws to protect the people and
tax laws 10 help the State
n
Congressional possibility in his district

The Effect of Legislation.

been heretofore levied equitably on all
properties. l believe that the present
revenue law and the machinery to enforce
it, will come nearer making all proper
ties bear the just burden of taxation,
upon a more equitable basis, than any
heretofore enacted.
Under the present system of raising
revenue, 1 doubt whether the law could
be improved 1t is highly probable that
the present law will be sufficient, IL
properly executed, to raise ample funds
to meet all appropriations. II the diff
ferent classes of property do not bear
equitably their part of the taxes, it VIII
te the fault of the assessors and col
lectors of revenue and not the law.
Under the present method of leyying
and collecting taxes, and without con-
siderable increase in the levy, the issuing
of bonds was a necessity. The Legis-
iature could not have made greater ap-
preparations for the enlargement of the
the hospitals, and thereby relieve the
jaiIs and the homes of the people from
the care OF the unfortunate insane, with
out a greater increase in the tax-leyy
or q larger bond issue.
Considering the work of the Legisla-
turc as a whole, I believe that the gen.
tral policy pursued will receive uniyer-
sal approval, strengthen the Democratic
party and brighten its future, and there
by preserve the greatest political agency
in the State for the moral, educational
and industrial interest of the people,
