Some relief would be obtainable from a reduction of the expenses of the executive and legislative branches government, the looping of of needless expense. but that would still leave a burden heavier than ought to be borne
 Many of the offices employ useless clerks. There are hundreds items of expenditure from which the people enjoy return whatever. There is also l.o need sixty attaches at extravagant salaries. which or them could hope to receive .n private employment. But the reckless expenditure money by the legislative and executive branches of the government is worse than the fiscal sys- teln generally. Even this recklessness cured would still rest unnecessarily heavy bur den on the people. method of levying and col lecting the is anticipated and waseful In the light the experience of centuries of this state as well as the people of many states have made no improvement in the methods of levying and col lecting We doing but little better than old did when they Harmed" the revenues. The state got all the it needed and the farmer" allowed to keep all the rest he could wiring out of the people Here contribute only a, part the money pay the support of the state and the rest goes to the maintenance of two expensive offices and two sets of clerks.
