"I only go there once year TO the

who appeared as a member of the Mer-

me TO do that"
He urged that the local personal
property tax be done away with. and
said that individuals should not be
taxed like corporations, because Of the
facilities afforded the latter.
New York laws interfered with my
ability to compete with other men.
That amounted to loss of income. The
conditions at present are unfair.

competition This would embrace

Mr.. Metz also said IL was a mistake
to impose heavy taxes on people simply
because their names appeared in the
