TAXATION THE REAL ISSUE
Taxation is the issue in this campaign, however hard politicians
may endeavor to center upon questions that have been settled as definite
ly as is the right of women to vote. These politicians who arc respon
sible for placing this burden of taxation upon the people of the state,
like the child who has been discovered in some infraction of parental
authority, would prefer ta talk about something else, anything to get
away from the real issues of taxation and extravagance of the present
state administration. When pinned down to the tax issue they wiy the
farmer is to blame for it all and that the only way to reduce taxation is
by re nation of locul school taxation and a lcduction of pay to teachers,
etc., but that the state tax must go on. They m rintnin that code secre
taries f ainol be hod for le-s than $5,000 00 per year and must be al'ov.

The rate of increase shown Tn the foregoing list of farms will apply

Thus while the taxes have increased, farmers incomes have been
