VELVET FOK THE NEWSPAPERS.
The republicans nre at it again.
Thousands of dollars tiro being paid re
publican papers in this state for pub
lishing a constitutional- amendment
giving the legislature power to change
the constitution of the state of Nebraska.
This fnrcc is" gone through with every
fall and the notice must be run at lcgnl
rates for three months. Take your
medicine Mr. Voter. This is another
case where you nre compelled to dance
becnuse you liitvo placed your order.
Rushvillo Standard.
A statement in another column shows
that the "redeemers"' have appropria
ted a million dollars more of the
people's money than was necessary to
carry on state government for two years
and so long ns this amount must be
blowed in, Thk Hhiulu is glad to see
the newspapers get a slice of it.
A LEAD-PIPE CINCH.
It is a dead moral certainty that the
fanners of Nebraska must this year
and for several years suffer from the
effects of "republican redemption."
There is no escape. Hut the amount
and degree ' they must suffer depends
upon the state board's action in as
sessing the railroads.
Not entirely," however, as some of
the now thoroughly frightened republi
can editors would have their readers
believe.
In the first place, the state board's
action in assessing tho railroads will
not now change tho fact that tho railroad-ridden
"redeemers" in the legis
lature of 1903 appropriated at least a
MILLION DOLLARS moie of tho
pcopli-o money than was needed to car
ry on state government for two years.
For example, look at these figuros:
Appropriations by the "Re
deemers" in 1903.... J?3, 740,280.70
Appropriations by the Fn-
sionistsin 1897 - a,335i343-4Q
Republican increase. . , .$1,404,437.30
An increase of FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS was proba
bly necessary to meet the growing
needs of tho state but no sane man
believes an increase of FOURTEEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND was neccs-sary-
It, was nothing short of the
WILDEST EXTRAVAGANCE.
Now, this appropriation was made,
and warrants will bo drawn against
most of it substantially all, in fnct,
by March 3:, 905. The warrants
MUST HE PAID sometime, and until
thoy are paid, they are part of the
STATE'S FLOATING DEBT.
This floating" debt bears 4 percent
interest on all registered warrants.
Hence, the longer payment is delayed
tho heavier is the burden. Tho Re
publican party is responsible for every
dollar of tho state debt. They caused
every dollar of it. On

Light cars later it wai r,3' .73 47
Nov. 30, ijuo tho Popu
lists had reduced it to 1,727.447.72
And 3 vears later it had
climbed up to 2,203,177.21
That tells tha story. Every dollar
of it up to Nor. 30, tSgO, urns a re
publicnn dobt. Tlmt nnint be conced
ed. And four yemr later the Fusion
ints loft it 208 thousand dollars loss
than when they cntno in. Hefidos tho
Fusionists paid off ovury dollar of the
STATE BONDS. Under no possible
method of figuring short of actual
lying can it bo shown that a single
dollar of the state dobt todny is oven
rcmotoly the result oT Fusion admin
istration. Up to Nov. 30, 1903. the "redeem
ore" htul increased the dobt $535,600.
It was then $326,903.74 greater than
it was 7 years before, in the palmy
day? of Joe Bartloy an increase of
nearly 1 7 par cant.
Joo wasn't regarded as a howling suc
cess as a financier, at loast not fot the
people; but he, after stealing and los
ing upwards of a million dollars of the
taxpayer's hard earned money, did bet
tor than the presonl republican admin
istration. At any rate the floating
debt will bear that construction.
Now, if tho state board had nssoscd
the railroads as high, dollar for dollar
of actual vnltio, as the county assessors
and their deputies have assessed the
property of fanners and other business
men, then ALL PROPERTY INTER
ESTS WOULD SUFFER ALIKE for
the folly of the Republican Redemp
tion of iqoo. . The railroad assessment
was made lower, dollar for dollar of
actual value, than had been placed on
other property, and the
FARMERS WILL CATCH IT COM
ING AND GOING.
They will be compelled to pay their
own share of the extravagant appropii
ations of 1903 and they will bo com
pelled to pay a largo portion that ought
in right and justice to fall upon tho
railroads.
That's the situation in a nutshell.
As was said in the beginning, it's "a
lead-pipe cinch" that the farmers of
Nebraska will pay a heavy penalty for
so industriously SHUCKING CORN
ON ELECTION DAY.
"Votc'er straight." Otherwise shuck
corn.
ARTESIAN WELLS.
Mnny of Our Gitizcns Would Favor
on Experiment in This County.
W. H. Jcwctt, living eight miles
northwest of Alliance, was in the city
Wednesday and from a conversation
with him we are learn that he is heart
ily in favor of tho idea of artesian or
flowing wells for the better developing
Box Butte countv lands. Mr. Jewett
is the possessor of about five sections
of land in this county and would give
liberally to such a project believing it
to be of vast impottance to himself as
well as cyery land owner in the county
in a financial sense.
Mr. Jewett advances a theory by
which an, experiment might be brought
to a head His idea is that a well
be put down on the countv farm 'by tho
county and thus demonstrate that it is
possible to get what is so much needed
to make this one of the best and most
productive counties in the great state
of Nebraska, and that is water, and
plenty of it, and as he has given some
thought and study to this subject, he
figures that tho expense of such an un
dertaking would require a levy of only
4 mills to be made, thus making a very
small cost to each individual tax payer.
After talking with Mr. Jewett wo are
of tho opinion that this would bo a
good investment for the county at large
and if properly taken up and handled,
and the experiment proving successful,
it certainly would make Box Butte
county a "shining star" in the firma
nent of Nebraska counties, and would
undoubtedly attract large numbers of
people with capital to our midst and
soon cause Alliance to become a city
of at least twenty thousand people and
Box Butte county one among the most
wealthy in the state.
With the rich soil, healthful atmos
phere, wonderful climatic conditions,
and flowing wells throughout the land,
bountiful crops of all kinds would bo
the result of such an undertaking, be
sides an influx of thrifty farm
ers, skilled mechanics, and in
fact, all classes of craftsmen who go
make up a great and prosperous com
monwealth. We also learn that there
are other gentleman throughout the
county who are becoming somewhat
favorably impressed with tho above
idea and wo trust that steps may
soon be taken s. whereby this im
portant matter may be brought before
the people.
