The privileged interests when hey

The Intelligencer was not in favor OF
the method OF taxation that was

manded by the State for the effective
continuation Of its institutions and
the meeting OF its future obligations.
and has said that the omnibus tar

In any other way
IL raised its voice from the FIRST in
behalf OF the Pierce and the Duty bills

obtain from these protected interests
their just share OF the tax burden, and

The time to have raised a senti.

sheer bankruptcy. which the privi-

rather than have submitted TO their
fair and just share Of the tax burden
contemplated by the Duty and Pierce
