fffF.W " FF?,,Wil,!S5PnF " MARCH 28, 1811 The Commoner. 13 ggy "Hi' i-p-!-i mm m - - mini iwwpwWWWWWWIl M T reports show that the property of the great corporation has remained stationary or decreasing in value while all the other properties of the state have been constantly enhancing in value. The result of this has been to shift tlie burdens of taxation which should be borne proportionate ly to the backs of. the poor and the middle class. It has been a scandal and a disgrace to the state and we are now demanding that this inqui tous system shall cease and that a tax board or commission shall be created, to be appointed by the gov ernor with the consent of the senate, and which shall sit the year around in the open sunlight, which shall have a clerk who shall record its findings from day to day, before which any citizen may so to com plain of unjust taxation and have his complaint formally heard and de cided. We arc also attempting in the state of Illinois to prevent the break ing of campaign pledges, which hitherto has been a matter of humili ation to the citizens of our state, and the only way that this can be effiectu ally accomplished is by making the breaking of a writ on pledge during a campaign a criminal offense. We believe in the state of Illinois that if tho obtaining of money by false pre- CATARRH TRUTH TOLD IN A SIMPLE WAY 459 Or No ApparatHi, Inhalers Salve, Lo- tioRHJHariufBl Drugs, Smoke or Electricity IIKAI.S TWENTY-POUR HOURS It Js a new way.

The hawking, cough ing, spitting made me obnoxious to alL and my foul breath and disgusting habits made even my loved ones avoid mo secretly My dolicrht in life was dulled and my faculties impaired I knew that in time it would bring me to an untimely grave because every moment of the day and night it was slowly yet surely sapping my Vitality.

SA3I KATZ; Salte 130 1325 MIckffCHH Ave. Cklcxge, Hi, tenses is a crime, as It is, that tho obtaining of office by false pretenses ought to be placed in the same cate gory, and that every man who breaks a written pledge made in tho cam paign should bo punished by im prisonment in tho penitentiary. Lastly, and probably tho most im portant of all, the people of Illinois aro demanding tho crystallization into lav of a provision providing for tho initiative and referendum. Twice the people of our state have spoken in overwhelming majority of about five to one in favor of this great re form. The state of Illinois would align itself with tho other progres sive states of tho United States in placing a law on the statute books providing for tho initiative and referendum. For eight years the people have been making an insis tent demand and during all of those eight years a republican administra tion and republican legislature havo set the will of the people .at defiance We now demand a law in Illinois to bring about an amendment to the constitution which will enable us to place an initiative and referendum law on our statute books. With such a law in force wo know that public reforms demanded by the people can be secured with or without the con sent of tho legislature and that vicious laws passed by the legislature can be vetoed by tho people. These are the principal reforms for which wo are fighting in tho state of Illinois', and I pledged myself in the campaign and again since tho campaign in my inaugural message to do everything In my power to place these laws upon our statute books, and with the help of the jro gressive people of the state of Illi nois in and but of the legislature I am -very confident we shall be suc cessful in our efforts. We join with the people of the state of Nebraska and its legislature in congratulating the great leader of progressive democracy upon his ele vation to the exalted position of sec retary of state of the United States. We recognize this great man as tho leader and thinker who for twenty years, in season and out of season, in prosperity and adversity, as the man who has led the progressive fight for' people's government in the United States and in the different states. No man has struggled more earnestly, insistently, and more suc cessfully for the cause of progres sive democracy than the native son of Illinois and the adopted son of Nebraska, and thus earned the affec tion, the love and the admiration of the militant" progressive democracy of the United States. EXCRUCIATING "Good gracious! What makes you look .like that? Has anything hap pened?" "Well, I had iny portrait painted recently by an impressionist, and I'm trying to look like It." Fliegende Blaetter. Is Oleomargarine As Good As Butter? Because oleomargarine is colored like butter and looks like butter and even tastes like butter, is it. as good as butter? The makers CLAD! it is. You KNOW it is not. Now similar conditions prevail in the separator business. The DE LAVAL is everywhere recognized by creamery men, prominent dairymen and buttcrmakers as being by far the best cream separator on the market. 98 of the world's creamerymen use the DE LAVAL separators exclusively. That looks like pretty conclusive evidence that the men who make A BUSINESS of tho separation of cream and the making of butter, tho men who know, are not in any doubt as to which is tho best cream separator. The makers of inferior separators acknowledge that tho DE LAVAL is best when they say to you "Our separator looks like the DE LAVAL" or "it's just as good as the DE LAVAL, but we will sell it to you for a Mttlc less money." Why dp they offer to sell their machines cheaper T For the very same reason that the makers of oleomargarine sell their product cheaper than butter because they COST less -to AAlE and ate WORTH less to use. The DE LAVAL lias many imitators but no equal. There is no substitute for the DE LAVAL any more than there can be a substitute for butter. If yon need a cream separator, why experiment with "near" or "just aB good" imitations or substitutes? You will save yourself time, money and trouble by getting the genuine DE LAVAL and taking no chances with any thing else.
