FROM all over the State come protests
and complaints against the increase OF
taxes which are revealed by the tax
tickets now being taken up. Our Re-
publican friends are trying to dodge the
responsibility, but as both branches OF
the Legislature had ample majoritieS and
the Governor and every department OF
the State government have been Repub-
lican, il is hard TO see how they can clear
themselves. The truth OF the matter IS,
the people are being forced TO pay in
creased taxes simply because OF ques-
tionable political deals that were made
for the personal advantage OF certain I'M
scrupulous politicians.

of the service. from intoxicants.
