La Toilette has power Wisconsin for twenty
majority voters advocated large variety
laws Of which he has carried against bitter opposition
NAME his and his promises into these
laws and his advocacy of them The voters of the state have
approved Of them We do not them here Some would
approve others we would not
La Toilette calls himself THE Poor Mans Friend" "The
of the Farmer" The Friend Of Labor There has been built
belief that his opponents all governed by selfish desires
Let us examine the La Toilette program Wisconsin
it touches each of personally During the past twenty
certain direct benefits have been promised all of the
pie individually and collectively Let balance against
few of the very definite promises and ask few questions OF
ourselves comparison with living in our border states that
have not been blessed with such program.
What have we got out political promises of 20 years?
Does my freight travel at lower rates faster better
than in Illinois?
Are my taxes less than if I lived in Minnesota?
my wages higher than like labor is paid in Michigan?
Does the food buy cost less than if lived in Iinois
have greater freedom of speech and action than
person in Minnesota?
What have got out Of it?
These are very personal questions do them
selves with public policies in general terms We believe they
justified for they have been promised part at least OF
the why should support the La Toilette policies What
effect have these laws had pocketboo and your living?
What has La Toilette done for the farmer the aborer other
workers?
you have lived in Wisconsin, real estate taxes at
least three times great they twenty This
railroad taxes and other ocd tax reforms These new forms
Of taxation have brought mon into the state treasury and
still our real estate taxes continue to increase
question of extravaganza whether the 81
state commissions all good part good and part bad 1t
question whether need commission to inspect no
if sheets the length 1t is merely
the that have tebd when
promised that certain legislation would reduce them
What has happened to farm taxes while La Toilette has
charmed with the tyranny of the interests and has given
that salaries and expenses
nearly 5000 men? An Illinois farmer OF % cents
Minnesota farmer average of "a cents every hun
and buildings Wisconsin the
pays $25 nearly double what he would in Illinois and
half again than he would in Minnesota What has the Wis
farmer got in return that these other farmers have not
got?
Compare promise performance While the federal
Coolidge reduced expenditures 40 cent
three years Wisconsin under progressive administration that
promised tax relief and economy has increased its expenditures
40 per cent
After twenty years power promise freight charges
high Wisconsin elsewhere living costs great and
yourself individual affecting pocketbook has
fulfilled? The of being made today
to secure your support La Toilette and the kind of
argument only more bitter is being used
Remember great State not because of her
politicians progressive sawart She State
because peopther industry and their intelligence She
darying because her agricultural leaders and her far
ers worked together for better things and without ea
ouses and appeals to hate. Think it over
Finally Judged the basis promises to individuals and
benefit the working man-factOry office FARM:
