TENDER 30, 1906, as reported to me
by the state bank examiner, is 49,

cent in the ten wears Inasmuch- as
it was prophesied by Mr.. McGraw
and other Democratic leaders, IN
1904, that the new tax laws would
drive money ont of the state, ana
out of the banks, the following table
from the state bank examiner Is in

that the sihlcfeases I'M deposits was

u am not Surprised chat AR
McGraw is opposed TO the tax
ticket argument That is a fact
that he and no one else can get away
from. 1t was not the primary Pur-
pose of the new tax laws to reduce
taxes. The primary purpose was TO
produce Justice and equality, as was
stated in the resolution creating
the State Tax Commission. But
we have been able to make taxation
more equal and Just, and at the same
time reduce taxes on the property OF
the people. We hope to further re-
duce these taxes, and to approx
mate more nearly the ideal jussIce
and equality. These are the things
aimed at 1t seems to, me that
Mr. MeGraw, as a good citizen Of
the state. could better serve the peo-
pie and make better use of his time
by pointing out how these laudabl1
ends could be reached, rather than
simply condemn by false statements
and falIacious arguments, the ef-
fort that is being made to bring
about this desirable result.
when the reader has finished
Mr.. McGraw's address it strikes me
that the first thing he will ask
himself is. Well. what does he pro-
pose?' We have had great deal
of criticism, but no suggestion as To
