lon the grave problems now confronting the nation, you should not complain about results. About every one you talk to complains because prices are going up and the reasons given are the tariff. Well Just how is the tariff expected to help us poor folks? We have heard it talked all our life but we don't understand yet how a law which increases prices but makes our labor and effort worth less is a benefit. Wish Uncle Jimmy Watson or some of the other boys who know would tell us. John Tyndall doesn't want to go to congress» to make money. His riends urged him to become a candidate because they wanted to present a man whom they know will work for the interests of the people of the dist .ict and whose idea is that the best vay to serve is to vote to save your money. That will be his one purpose and he will come back with the same honest look in his eye. You ean trust fohn Tyndall to represent you and that should be enough for every man . rd woman in Adams county to deide to vote for him. The amount of taxes collected for 'ate purposes in Adams county durig the present year will be just bout double that raised in 1913. The dal this year is >122,965.12 while in 918 the state tax was >68,574.59. Chis increase is not in any one townhip or corporation but is general and tha amount you are paying no difference where you reside is double hat of four years ago. Many iudiiduals are paying as much as three ■mes the taxes now they did before !i - now law became effective. It hould be easy for you to figure liether you like it or not. This sum •an be reduced by cutting off many useless boards and commissions and by otherwise reducing overhead. The democratic state platform has i his to say on the question of taxaion: "The Democratic tax law of 1891 served the people admirably for more than a quarter of a century, and few changes were made in it. The Goodrich tax law-, by its unwarranted perversion of authority, given to the State Tax Board, has made that board one of original jurisdiction in local matters, instead of a board of appeal and equalization as it had been for many years. It has practically destroyed local self-gov-ernment. The democratic party pledges to repeal this tax law to the end that taxes may be reduced and local self-government restored to the people of every community. Under the Republican tax law the INCREASE ALONE in taxes collected in 1921 was more than the total amount of taxes collected a dozen years ago. To check this orgy of extravagant taxation the Democratic party is pledged to the enactment of a law that will put a limit on tax rates and bond issues which cannot be exceeded ecceptlng by a majority vote of the community affected. In this way the people themselves would determine tbeir public expenditures.
