That our Constitution needs
amending. goes without saying,
though we may differ somewhat as
to details.
During the last session OF cur
General Assembly Governor Rye
appointed strong committee on
taxation. Its labors covered quite
a period Of time, during which the
committee consulted and received
information from one hundred and
sixty organizations, officials and
citizens Of the State, representing
every class and every interest," in
the State. That committee says,
Anything like complete and
thoroughly effective reform Of our
tax system can not now be obtain.
ed, and the chief obstacle is the in
flexible article on taxation in the
Constitution Of 1870"
Quoting from an eminent au-
thority on taxation, the committee
further says of our system, 1T puts
a premium on dishonesty and de-
bauches the public conscience; it,
reduces deception to a system and
makes science Of knavery; it
presses hardest on those least able
to pay; it imposes double taxation
on one man and grants entire i'm
to the next" The report
also says that capital flies from any
State where there is no fixedness of
taxes; that the property Of widows
and orphans is more highly assess
ed in proportion to value than any
other classes Of property; that we
have double taxation on property,
which Constitutional amendment
alone can ure;;that we have abso-
lutely no uniformity in the assess
ment of property from county to
Now we not only need areform

also in the cost of collecting and

Against Progressive Legislation

DENVER, Col, Nov. 11.-William ].
Bryan, who was here yesterday. made the
following comment on the result OF the
election:
"A Democratic President has been elect.
ed without the aid of New York, and that
is something new in American politics.
While Il would have relieved anxiety dur.
ing the last thirty-six hours to have had
the vote of New York in the Democratic
column. still. since we did not get tns
New York support. we may as well get al
the consolation out OF II that we can.
"The fact that New York was supposed
to be necessary has been restraining In
fuence on wide progressive legislation dur
ing previous administrations President WIZ
son was the first President In many years
who has been independent OF Wall street.
and It is greatly to the credit OF States

preciate and regard Independence"

tional amendment was adopted in Nebrasks
