If th* common hardens of gorsrament are to be met by * common contribution, ha evidently means that that contribution mn«t com* from th* peoplf and in what other form can it be itributad to the people than In that of a state tax. It has been maintained by the Republican press ever since Mr. Black pivoted on tb* equal taxation Issue that, if lbs proposed democratic plan of faxing all railroad property locally and turning the money thus collected Into the municipality rather than the state treasury were carried out. than would be a depletion of the state treasury; there would not be money gh there to meet the demand from the state Instltatloos and the only solution of the problem would be the levying of a stele tax and tb* payment of the state’s debt by a common contrlbnUpo made by the people.
