Barton said he had twice cross-
d the oceans in defense of the
American flag. In 1898 he
crossed the Pacific and in 1918
he crossed the Atlantic as an
American soldier, attaining the
rank of major in the latter
war.
General Barton sees no rea-
son why cut-over lands should
be exempted from taxation any
more than the land that is
tilled on the farms. He assert-!
ed that the taxes paid in Texas •
are not equal and uniform as I
required by the state constitu-!
tion and favors the creation of
a state board of equalization
composed of three men. This
would be without' additional}
cost to the tax payers, it was
eaid. The speaker then said
that most of the taxes paid are
voted upon the people by them-
selves. • He recalled paying
$79.88 taxes on a piece of city
an, "for I think we have
big men in Texan as any wh
else,"
Barton said he had seen
lot of lobbyists but that he -
never seen anyone lobbying
