membership in branch Oh the

The facts show rom the records
Of the United STD senate, that IN
seating Mr.. Newt ~. the Republic
cans in the SEND first adopted a
resolution admittf or rather set

of money expende b the campaign
to elect Newberl from Michigan

expenditures are hereby severely
condemned and approved"
The Democratic 6arty holds no
stronger condemnS bn Of the New

party itself.
The Democratic pary, however,
does hereby add 5cial condemna-
ton and denunc Hon for United

New Jersey who vd "a for that reso-
luton and for th< Beating Of Mr..

Taxa -
The Democratic heory Of taxa
ton Is that the Rh[Ffen should be
equitably applied. III the business
Of government ther1 Is nothing that
possesses such mis- lI1evous possibil-
tiles as the dishou III, unfair and
discriminatory apr Ication Of the
tax laws.
Therefore, the c1bdidates Of the
democratic party pI&dge themselves
to the protection existing ma
chinery to bring aHout the eQuita-
Die application q the tax laws.
There is a special osnse for gratifi-
cation in the acti@ Of the State
Board of Taxes and Assessments in
bringing, within tltfSe years time
ana while under DexqOcratic control
Inc assessment of r1{lroad property
ia tnis state, notortQusly underval-
ued for many yeafs, from ss72.-
24S,9S1 in 1920 to @41l,2sS $50. in
1922.
The attention of He taxpayers is
called to the extra0rdinary rise in
taxes in the various municipalities
throughout the stan which has
come about since 1&14, the largest
increase being since 491S.
The highest tax rte in 1914 was
3.12 per hundred, NOV 1t Is s.s7. In
almost every municfpality the tax
rate has been doubled In seven
years When the enefmous increa a
in eatables is considered, the rate
In many use is four times what
it was in 1914.
We also desire tai Emphasize ME
fact that our municipalities haJe
enormously increaseH their debl:
the counties have increased mede
thar fifty million 'dofsar in the NH
seven years, and hey, with the
minor municipalities. have gone in
to debt two hundreA and twenty
three million dollars<
1t Is quite evident That Wa mist
pause. We would therefore recon-
mend that the state itself set an eY-
ample of economy b reducing an
Preparations and abolishing useless
Offices. We further would adviss
that legislative pressure be apnIisS
to check extravagant municipal ex-
penditures.,
We would discourage mandatory
legislation which cor1pels eountIss
and municipalities q make lasea
expenditures of mQney in wbieh

although they directly represent III
taxpayer who must hdd it to his
bill. NS
Full responsibility f6r the nrassn.

publican party.
