Ho plead "the of the people, and not of the les." The Democratic ticket was aado up of sound business men taxpayors. Ho attacked Kay for supporting tho Davy bill and Har- pill to tax franchises and corpora tions. His remarks were applauded, and tho managers sent Tom Kay to tho bat. The legislature had not passed all tho bills to tax corporations, but they had passed the Eddy bill that last year put $107,000 into tho state treasury. Tho Eddy bill first contained a fran chise tax clause, but, owing to the fight (hat would draw on the bill, it had been omitted. He favored extend ing its provisions. Ho would introduce a bill at tho next session to tax fran chises, and If be got it up it would stand a far better chance to pass than Jf Introduced by Mr. Huckensteln. If his record did not commend him he did not want the office. He had passed a bill to loan the Idle school funds, and the inheritance tax bill. His flat salary bill 'was defeated in the Sen ate. He repealed the scalp bounty law and had been "its mo3t persistent foe." Ho opposed the mining bureau bill, which was in the Interest of per haps one man out of 20. He opposed the Phelps" tax bill. Tho present tax law was one of the best that could be drawn. He had fought extravagant clerk hire, and this had taken some courago to brace up against such grafts and had cost him some support He answered' some attacks on his rec ord on labor bills, and closed with hearty applause. Judgo Scott went In and pounded the good roads question, and confessed to having spent come tlmo and several hundred dollars In studying tho high way question. State taxes had been going up each year, and the county court was not to blame that state taxes went from 6.7 mills to 8 mills, and the state school tax from 5 mills to C per capita, or 6.3 mills. The county levy had gone from 11.2 to 4.C. a creditable showing. (Continued on fourth' page.)
