TiJtAP showing Senatorial districts of Illinois. There are three reprekentativef 



IVl to - - 



for each district. 



Note No. 1 — It was in 1870, Bve years after the Civil War, |

 Things have changed since then! In 1870, It was fair to makd 

 property bear the taxes of the state, for most wealth was in I 

 investments. Today a large portion of wealth is invested In iij 

 things, and conditions have changed so that the old system of i 

 taxes works a hardship on owners of property, and especially on J 

 After a great deal of study and much effort, the Illinois Agriculi 

 sociation, the Illinois Bankers' Association, the Illinois Chamberji 

 merce, the Illinois Federation of Labor, the National Board of 

 the Illinois Teachers' Association and other state-wide orgs 

 have drawn up an amendment to the constitution which will 

 nois' tax collecting on a basis in keeping with present-day 

 None of these groups gain a special favor by the adoption of th«j 

 ment, it merely giving the General Assembly power to act 

 thirds favor any changes. This Is the only hope of the fanner 

 freedom from the present oppressive burden of taxation on gene^ 

 erty. The General Assembly was almost wholly In favor of ill 

 vote shows. To become effective. It must receive the ma)orit3( 

 votes cast in the election of November. 1926. 



Note No. 2 — The Tice bill, as most farmers know, provld^ 

 general re-codiflcation of existing regulations governing tut 

 eradication. Chief among its features is a provision that when 

 cent of the cattle have been tested in any county that li 

 under the area plan, the test becomes compulsory on the rema 



..e cattle. 



Note No. 3 — This vote was taken on a motion mad* to 



.ble an 

 for tu- 



amendment offered by Senator Barr to reduce the approprlatioi 

 berculosis eradication from $3,000,000 to $2. 000, 00*. Afflrmatitv votes 

 on this motion, as are recorded in this column, indicate that senpitors so 

 voting favored the larger amount. 



Note No. 4 — This'^ vote was on the passage of the tS,0004>00 ap- 

 propriation bill in the Senate. 



Note No. 5 — Being unable to get the vote on the Barr appropriation 

 bill in' the House at the time the REroan goes to press, it cannt^ 

 eluded here. However, this vote is relatively unimportant sino 

 on the $1,500,000 amount which had been recommended by th^ 

 committee on appropriations. The House vote was practica 

 'mous. it being known that the bill would be required to go to 

 •>nce between the two legislative branches. It wM In the co^ferenee 

 that appropriation was fixed at $2,000,000. 



Note No. 6 — The "yes" votes in this column indicate that th ! repre- 

 sentative favored the Dunlap State Police bill. This record wis made 

 when the opposition made a motion to table the bin. which terailnated 

 successfully for them, and meant permanent defeat in this session for a 

 state police to protect farmers and others from depredations of Lhleves.
