State Should Prosper

Mr.. Speaker, in this splendid era
of prosperity that this state enjoyed
before the public confidence was
shaken in its possibilities, we had the
same revenue laws as we now have,
and we got along very we'll with them
and with the amendments suggested
in house bill No. 81, which is now in
the hands of the senate, there is no
question in my mind that if they are
adopted and become law, we can get
along very well with them for years
to come. oppose the tax commission
plan as offered in this bill under con-
sideration, because the powers that
would be vested in the commission
ers are or could be despotic. I be-
lieve the plan contemplated is out of
keeping with the ideas that major
ity of my constituency entertains
concerning this matter, and for this
and many other reasons too numerous
to mention at this time | shall GER
tainly cast my vote against it"

cess, and is acknowledged everywhere
to be the most "up-to-date" musical
company travelling. Everybody likes
music and everybody enjoys hearty
laugh. A delightful blending Of
pure fun and fine music is one rea-
son why the above company has won
its way to the top notcn of public
