State. Corporation lawyers have boast
ingly said The death of William Goe.
bel was a benefit to the corporations
If this were true, the question is, how
much longer shall the people be held
in bondage because Of his death?
God knows the corporations now
suing the State have been able to
procure (and the word procure is used
advisedly) immunity long enough from
paying their Just share of the taxes.
People Are Awaken
"a hundred million dollar increase in
the value of corporation property for
taxation opens a new era in the State &
affairs and has awakened the people
and brought them to realization of
what has been done to them through
all the years of the past. AS certainly
as truth, though crushed to earth, VIII
rise, just so certainly will there bed
further awakening which viii correct
abuses equally as great as unequal
taxation, and its effect will Ne that
henceforth every man who would hold
office by preferment Of the people must
be progressive, and no imitation, nc
mere pretender will satisfy them;
they will sweep aside and into oh
. liyion as old chaff any man who hesi
.tates or dares to stand in the way
OF improvement and betterment Of
conditions for the whole people.
mo one doubts, had William Goebe
been permitted to live, that that which
was recently done by the Board o.
Valuation and Assessment would have
been done more than a decade ago
and today, instead of the large publ;
service corporations fighting in thu
courts and by sinister methods ell
deavoring to perpetuate unjust and I'm
equal taxation; attempting to throttl,
the action of the present state taxin'
board. the first to act fully in the in
terest of the people, such corporation
would long ago have been paying intt
the State, county and city treasurie
their just proportion Of the taxes.

Now let each watch our trees
and see that they grow, and if
they do not, plant another in

for your kindness in helping to
plant the trees.
