that it was local in application and af-

as the land lien tax bill. Thirty-four
years ago this law was enacted by
the state legislature, which allowed
liens to be entered against unpatented
lands for purchase money, interest and
fees due the commonwealth. The in-
justice of the measure prevented its
I enforcement for more. than one-third of
a century, and it was a dead letter un-

burden upon the poor and weak was
considered. First the ukase of Czar
Quay made it certain that corporations
and brewerg must not be touched.
It was a peculiar condition that con-
fronted men who wished to do only
.what was right. They realized that
.beer. the most legitimate subject of
taxation, could not be taxed, and that
corporations would be protected at all
yhazards. The demands of charity were
urgent that money must be pro-
vided to alleviate actual want and suf-
fering. It was not a question of doing
what they thought was right, but of
doing what they believed to be best, and
some of .the very best and truest men
in the last lejislature were forced to
vote for unjust revenue measures, be-
dieving that the needs of charity should
have preference over all things.
Al revenue legiclation must originate
in the ways and means committee otf
the house. This committee was ap-
pointed with special care that it could
be controlled by long distance ‘phone
from Washington. It was impossible to
originate any revenue bill that did not
have the approval of the machine, and
the anti-Quay men had no alternative
but to chocse from among the ma-
shine-produced revenue bills, not one ot
vhich was fair.
