DANGHIt OK THK TAX COMMM1SSION.
There Iiub been u commission nt work for the punt two years nt nn ox

N'o ono knows what this oommlsslon has done for us. Their bills have
Hone through the legislature AUMOST WITHOUT KKADING UY THK
MliMDKHS.
They have entirely reconstructed the whole taxation system of the
atate, nud have probably crented a gnat deal of confusion.

For lnstunee. In a few years the Salem Water Company will have to
