And there comes a time yet when ths popular demand for Increased publlo service uutweigus tha desire for low taxes. When the people went a service and are willing to pay for it they should not be denied, unless the demand comes from who would reap the benefits, and puts an unjust burden upon taxpayers who would not be benefitted. It therefore comes down to a mstter of Justice, and the essential thing la to distribute ths burden of taxation equitably. Taxation ia a subject of perennial consequent interest. It is exciting more discussion In our state than any other topic.
