fronting Legislature now in session
is how to meet the shortage in the
State treasury. The only way we
can see to meet it is to equalize tax
alton and cut appropriations nearly
half the counties get back from the
treasury more than they pay in as
taxes. This ought not to be for each
county ought to bear it's proportion
