However a great many com-
plain that as the state taxes
are going to be especially high,
they do not want to pay more
than their share and all seem
to be skeptical in their belief
that this patt of the constitu-
tion will be carried out to the
letter.*’
You are advised that in a j two and a treasurer for one. All
