is absolutely essential to satisfactory ,

A revolutionary change of sy ;
tern in taxation will restore right
to the people and prevent panic
and national shortage. We shoul
not depend upon the system (
tribute , tarill' and internal revonu
laws , which depend wholly upo
consumption or purchasing , ou
government's cash on hand. .
panic or shortage "occurs at an
period when trade conditions ar
interrupted. A surplus may t
not-iced when trade is active , an
shortage when it is not.
The correct system of taxatio
should be levied and collected a
in local and state government , ac
ding to this an income tax an
extensive privilege tax upon coi
porations using the public domai
for private gain.
The democrat have abandone
all hope of landing any state ol

commissioner. This condition wi
make somewhat of a mixup an
cause considerable grief to Gov ,
elect Slvallenberger. The variou
boards direct the state g vernrneri
and on these the governor has bi :
a single vote. The state board o
equalization , printing and pui
chase supplies , public land an

board will all be under control o
