The legislature is having a bard
time trying to finance a great expo
sition without making the people pay
for it. The direct tax upon property
was not popular with the property
owners, and that included most of
»the constituency of the average leg-,
tslator. A gas tax for highways ,
looks good, but to make the auto1
owner pay for the fair will find oppo- 1
sition, not quite ao strong as the
property tax, for there are not so
many to oppose. The governor has
handed the country member a hard
proposition, this making him say yes
or no. It would have cost less if the
people of Cortland had initiated a
fair measure.
Not a Christmas season passes but
