Is GOVERNOR MCGOVERN rushing
hither and thither about the state, di-
recting a fight against the citizens who
dare to say that they believe Wisconsin
is.injured instead of benefited by high
taxes? Is Professor Adams of the tax
commission cOndemning business men
and farmers and other mere private
citizens who object to high taxes as
''yawpers?" Are the small-fry state
officials all busy with politics and all
arrayed on the side opposed to that of
the people, They are, and the Wausau
Record-Herald suggests why they are:
Don't imagine because there are less
than four thousand office-holders in
Wisconsin they constitute small or
insignificant force They are widely
scattered. They are filling lucrative
positions. The majority of them could
not receive in any business employment
as much as they draw from the state.
They will fight to hold their jobs. Their
policy is to divide public opinion. They
try to draw the weak by promising the
blessings of a dividend in the spoils of
taxation. They try to unsettle the
conscientious with their eternal pratt
ings about progress. And when they
find man whom they can neither bride
with the suggestion of spoils, nor de-
ceive him with their hypocritical cant
about the 'uplift, they try to discredit
him by calling him 'stalwart, {
tory, or 'reactionary. This army
of occupation is the thing agains
which all the people of this state, ire
spective of party, should combine. No
until it is defeated, and the cohesive
principle of public plumber which holds
it together is relegated to the garbag,
pile, can this state begin to enjoy eff
ficient and economical administration. ,
