He was introduced by Mr. L C Moser,

all these things so much bo that the; -
commonwealth was attracting the fa-
vorable attention of the world, , The'
program of public health has reduced ,
the death rate in the state during the.

lasc eignteen years irom ia.z , per.
thousand to 11.5 per thousand. . .
He snowed that si - cents out 01 ,
every dollar paid by the people of the..; '
l.. ; A . . , . .. . .."--'.
siate in taxes comes oaoa. to vno u - ..
payers in thO way of public benefits'
fn their own immediate vicinities. On-, '
y nine cents out of each dollar of , '
tax is used for administrative - par. , '
poses. Furthermore more than 2,-. ,
000,000 people of the state pay no ix -
for the administration; of the state ?
government or for the maintenance of '
public instituUons. -The loads , are '
being paid for by those who use them. J
Income, inheritance, and .franchise ,,,
taxes are used by the state govern-,. -
ment, leaving to each county the tax-.- v li
es on the property within its limit to ;
be used for county purposes.
