Sufferers From Kidney Ailments
Should Remember This

am of the opinion that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root enjoys the best reputation
and has met with more success in the
treatment of the diseases for which it is
intended, than any other medicine on the
market. Swamp-Root sells and pleases;
and in gravel it is recommended as one
of the best medicines. / am SO well
pleased with the demand for Swamp Root
that I never fail to give it my personal
recommendation, feeling that it will do
what it claims.
Very truly yours,

nearly fifty per cent. I recommend
that that statute which permits the tax
payer to use his personal property raz
receipt as an Offset for income tax be
repealed.
| also recommend the repeal of the
law under which the owner of home
is compelled to pay an income tax on
it's rental value. | do this because ]
believe such tax is unfair and I'm.
just.
call your attention to the numerous
recommendations made by the Tax
Commission. Their report has been
placed upon your desks. l cannot
agree to the proposition that personal
property shall be removed from the
tax roll. According to the report of
the Commission that class of property
yielded $5,680,728 in taxes in 1915. In
view of the growing demand for public
improvements, all of which will neces-
state the expenditure of large sums
of money, the state cannot afford to
reduce it's revenues. If the system is
changed and personal property is
exempt, the loss of revenue must be
made up in some other way and the
greater part will naturally fall upon
our real estate. Our income tax is al
ready high. The same people who pay
the income tax to the state pay an in
come tax to the national government
and it would seem that the amount
that is now demanded from that class
Of tax payers should not be further in
creased. To do SO would, in my judg.
ment, interfere with the industrial de-.
velopment of our state.
Highways.
One of the most important subjects
that you are called upon to consider
during this session is the matter of de-
vising an economical and effective sys-
tenn of highway construction. The de-
mand for better roads is general. 1t
is, however, project that involves
tremendous expenditure of money and
we should, therefore, approach it in
spirit of conservatism. The size of the
is best understood when
we consider it in connection with the
fact that the state has over 10000
miles of highways, the greater part of
which need to be rebuilt if we expect
to bring all of our public roads to a
standard.
l wish particularly to impress upon
you the necessity of making provision
for the proper maintenance of the
roads that are built. Nearly 5000
miles of state aid roads have been
built since the beginning Of the state
aid system, at cost of about $16,0OO,-
900. No provision was made for the
of these roads, with the
result that sections which were built
two and three years ago are worn out
and the investments has, therefore,
been lost.
The Congress of the United States
has appropriated sum of money to
aid the states in the construction of
post roads. The total amount that will
come to our state from that source is
s1,925,416. The appropriation covers
period of five years and is made avail

Taxation.


Under our system of taxation real
property pays the larger part of the
taxes collected. 1t is, therefore, neces-
sary that the assessments Of such
property be carefully made and that
the values be arrived at on some uni
OF experience and good judgment.
The work of our local or township
assessors is in many cases not well
done. 1t frequently occurs that re-as-
sessments are necessary. In such
cases the work is done by agents Of
the Tax Commission and is quite cost
ly, the expense falling upon the town
ship that is re-assessed. We shall get
more equitable assessments and, there
fore, more satisfactory results if we
will by law abolish the old system of
local or township assessors and create
the office of county assessor instead.
Such county assessor should be COM
PEELED to pass satisfactory civil serv-
ice examination and the appointment
should be made by the county board.
They should, however, do the work
under the direction of the State Tax
Commission. Their salaries and ten
ure of office should be fixed by legisla-
tive act
The Tax Commission suggests num-
erous changes in our income tax law.
am particularly impressed by the
suggestion that taxes paid upon per-
sonal property should not be used as
an Offset for income taxes. It is diff
cult to understand why such a provi-
sion ever was made. If personal prop
erty is to be taxed there seems to be
no good reason why the tax payer shall
be permitted to deduct the amount
paid from his income tax. AS the law
works out in its present form large
| percentage Of the income tax that is
| assessed at a considerable cost be-
comes uncollectable because of this
provision Of law. The aggregate in
come tax assessed in 1915 on the in
come of 1914 was $3,837,370, and the
| amount of personal property receipts
| used as an offset was $1,825, 641-thus
| reducing the net result of the tax by

which you will make are kept within
