country-one indiisible, but free,
and as free in time of war as in
time OF peace.
looked into the faces OF those
thousands in the Chicago Stadium.
They came from every part OF the
country. They travelled at will from
every state in the Union without
the consent OF any governmental
authority. They wore badges ana
buttons and carried piacards. every
word of which indicated opposition
10 the current Administration OF
the United States.
They met TO change the govern
ment. TO substitute for him who
heads the state someone else OF
their own choosing. They were not
craven conspirators, hidins in caves
and cellars. They were not COM
municating by sign language. They
were not hiding underground fear
full OF prying eyes and listening
ears. They were not scared. They
we're free men, expressing in free
dom their ideas and beliefs, their
hopes. their faith in what is right
and best for their country. They
were performing a privilege of citi-
zenship.
That is what makes the Amer
lean people different from any other
people upon all this earth we do
not fear our own government We
may favor ii or oppose it, but we are
not afraid OF it. And not being
afraid of it. we support it Loyalty
even when we differ We can sup
port and differ from it at the same
time.

TAXATION

TAXATION
Unless the taxpayers OF this
town are willing to get together
and organize and help make plans,
We are going to have to submit TO
a most humilating defeat on this
tax problem. We are not only
forced to submit to unfair taxation
but when the war is over and
wages go down, many OF us may
lose our homes.
1t looks to me as though our pub.
lie officials whom we elected and
trusted and supported for so many
years. are taking orders from a
few OF our leading citizens with po-
litical pull. and have sold us down
the river raise their million dol
lars tax money. They are taking
the money from people like you
and |, the middle class OF people.
Many Of the large expensive homes
OF our wealthy citizens have had
their valuation lowered several
thousand dollars, while the homes
OF the rest OF US have been raised
at least thousand dollars and In
some cases, great deal more. Now
the rich people have plenty OF
money and can we'll afford TO pay
their taxes. Why lower their valu-
alton? II is the middle class and
poor people, who have always had
to struggle TO keep what little they
have. No one complained last time
when our valuation was raised. No
one would want to complain this
time IL they had been fair about Il.
What has happened at our city
hall? Do our public servants only
serve a few? We help elect those
people to office, why aren't they
loyal to us. My money is helping
support them too, and what am
getting out OF It? Sometimes no,
even courteous treatment. Do our
officials think that because the
working man is getting. little
more wages. that they must hurry
and get bigger share Of II. Sons
thing is very wrong somewhere.
Let's find out what Is happening
down there.
FELLOW-TAXPAYERS are we
going TO submit to this outrage,
Do you want TO do something about
our taxes? II you do. sacrifice II
you must, but be sure and come
TO our next taxpayers meeting.
There will be a notice In the pa,
per. Be sure and watch for II.
II won't do any good II you just
sit back and say. "Oh I will let
my neighbor fight II out for me"
One alone can do nothing. but II
enough OF us get together we will
definitely get results. Come TO
your meeting and learn how to
do it.
Just a word o, warning. people.
There are going to be a few peo-
pie who will sIeer and laugh and
say, "Oh what can you do about
it." All ask is that you come
to your meeting and find out what
we can do. You will be the ones
to benefit from the results.
Let Us unite t. make this a be,-
