creased. it is true. farm land values
were also increased. The total in
crease of farm land values exceed By
five million dollars the total valuation
of all the railroad property III the
state.
But no one need to wonder at the
increase OF taxation. The reform"
legislature Of 1907 appropriated six
hundred and fifty thousand dollar
more than any other legislature ia
the history of the state, and this. too.

The total increase of taxes paid by
all the railroads in all the counties and

third of the increased appropriations
made by the last legislature. In 9th.

priated $650.000 more than any other
legislature, while the total increase Of
the taxes OF railroad property for al
purposes-county. municipal and

Is it any wonder that taxes have
gone up and that leyies have gone
up?
Is it any wonder that the farmers
of this state fail to see wherein they
have derived any financial benefit
from the so-called reform administra
tor?
is it any Wonder that the people
look upon the Crawford brand of re
form as q mere sham?
