 Representation and Square Deal 



^^HIS page contains a reprint of the 

 J voting record of the members of 

 the 55th General Assembly. It jjives 

 the officially recorded vote of everv 

 member in all the downstate districts 

 on the four measures considered in 

 the regular session that were of major 

 importance to the agricultural inter- 

 ests of the state, together with their 

 voting percentage. 



These bills were: the gasoline tax. 

 the income tax, the bill providing 

 proper regulation of grain exchanges, 

 and opposition to the Chicago bonding 

 bills. 



We are including with this reprint, 

 the roll call as affecting down-state 

 districts, on Senate Bill No. 1 in the 

 special sessions, which prevents the 

 doubling of the bonding power of tax- 

 ing bodies outside of the City of Chi- 

 cago, due to the passage of the Chicago 

 bonding bills during the regular ses- 

 sion and made necessary by a Supreme 

 Court decision declaring the amend- 

 ment to the Juul Law, also passed dur- 

 ing the regular session, unconstitu- 

 tional. 



Primary, April 10 



This record is republished at this 

 time because a state-wide primary 

 occurs on April 10 at which candidates 

 of all political parties will be- selected 

 for county, state, and national offices. 

 Many of these representatives are can- 

 didates for renomination. In numer- 

 ous instances, they are opposed. It 

 is the duty of every American citizen 

 to vote in primaries and elections. 



This record is published for the in- 

 formation of our members and the 

 friends of agriculture to enable them 

 to cast an intelligent vote for members 

 of the General Assembly. Study the 

 vote. If they have been fair to agri- 

 culture and have served faithfully the 

 people they represent, reward them 

 with your vote and support. If agri- 

 culture is to receive a square deal and 

 our institutions are to be preserved, 

 in the interests of all our people we 

 must elect to office people who will dis- 

 charge their duties fairly and in the 

 interests of their constituents.
