A Democratic View

A Democratic View
The Buffalo Voice a democratic
paper. takes the following view Of the
duty devolving upon the next legisla-
ture:
wyoming Is a state prominently
of the common people. There are no
rich men in Wyoming-as rich men
are counted today-and there are few
poor people. Wyoming should be able
to solve the problem of just taxation.
The Wyoming legislature was elected
this year without strings on it-or Is
presumed to have been. The legisla-
ture is republican, reasonably intelli-
gen and should be honest. That leg
islature should set about honestly and
with some sense to solve the tax prob
lem. The burdens Of taxes in this
state are not fairly distributed. Rail-
roads can and do get immunity. Cor
porations can and do get favors. There
are instances in which owner of i'm
portant municipal franchises escape
taxes altogether-which is grossly
wrong-and men lie about the money
they have in the bank and the people
have no redress. The Wyoming leg
islature should try to do a few good
things and to do those things well. A
little tinkering along assessment val
ues should be one of those things
Like insurance, they are protection.
