year or two to fill in the gap in the
present highway system.
Gov Blaine declared that if his
program of economy is carried out
Iron county should benefit from re-
duction of state taxes to the amount
of $4,000 or $4,000 this year.
Last year Iron county benefited to
the amount of $8,133 by the reduc-
ton OF state taxes.
Characterizing the gasoline tax bill
passed by the last legislature as a
robbers gas tax bill" Gov. Blaine
explained his position on this impor-
tant matter. The bill in its original
form, he said, was a good one, but
as amended it would only serve to
rob the rural communities. Gov.
Blaine vetoed this measure. The bill
provided for a tax of two cents per
gallon on all gasoline used by motor
vehicles travelling the highways. The
administration Of the law, he said,
would demand an army Of tax collec-
tors, and after their salaries were
paid there would be but little left for
highway purposes. II would be an
unfair law, he said, in that it did not
provide for equal distribution of the
tax money. He contended that il
was unfair to turn over but % per
cent Of the money for the 10000
miles of county and state roads and
the balance to the 10000 miles of
trunk highways as provided for in
the vetoed bill Gov. Blaine said he
was in favor of a gasoline tax law
but wanted one that would be fair to
all the counties, villages and towns
in the state. He declared that the
bill as sent to him would not relieve
the tax burden but would increase
taxes.
Declaring that the struggle in this
campaign is one Of the special inter
ests against the interests Of the peo-
pie Gov. Blaine flayed the corpor-
ations and trusts. He read letters
purported to be from corporations
and trusts asking for donations TO
the campaign fund Of his opponent
Gov, Blaine closed his address by
appealing for a progressive legisla-
ture, declaring that unless the legisla-
ture is with him he viii be handicap
ped in carrying out his program. He
wants progressive senators and as
semblymen in the legislature and ur-
ged the voters to send to Madison
men who are in harmony with the
administration.
The governor went from here TO
Mellen, where he spoke at one o'clock
and in the afternoon was scheduled
to speak at Glidden and Butternut
and in the evening at Medford Gov.
Blaine made his first campaign
speech at Superior Wednesday.
