Every dollar that you, a taxpayer, pay over the counter of your County Treasurer, is divided this way: 19 cents goes to the State Treasurer to meet the ex penses of state government. 45 cents goes to the support of your local schools. 17 cents goes to support your county government. 14 cents goes to support your city, town or village government. 3 cents goes to support your township government. ? cents goes to support your high school. $1.00 total tax dollar. They are average of the State Tax These figures may vary a little in each county, figures for the entire state taken from the records commissioners omce for the year 1927. When a candidate for Governor says he can reduce state taxes 30 per cent he challenges the intelligence of voters. it No Governor "n touch or change school, county, city, village, township or high school taxes for the reason that levies for these purposes are made by county boards on esti mates furnished by school boards, and city, village and town ship boards. There is only one division of state taxes he could possibly change, that is general administration, which is 1.1 cents of the state tax dollar. If he could shut up the state house, dismiss state employees in cluding employees of the highway department, stop the fight for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis and close all executive departments ol state government, he could only save each taxpayer 1.1 cents. DO NOT BE MISLED OR DECEIVED BY EXTRAVAGANT STATEMENTS AND PROMISES A reduction of 45 per cent in state taxes for 1928 under 1927 has been made and will be seen in your next May real estate taxes and your next December personal taxes. You can verify this statement by asking your county clerk or county treasurer. It is a matter of public record. This reduction was made possible by there being no necessity in 1928 to levy 1.5 mills needed in 1927 to pay a state deficit, and by a further reduction of .19 mills in the general fund levy. REPUBLICAN STATE C03!MITTEE To the Editor of the Plattsmouth Journal: My attention has been called tc an article by A. L. Tidd, in your paper, attempting to answer or rather dodge a public rebuke administered to him by the Otoe County Bar As sociation. The article In no way meets the issue raised by the bar as sociation. The issue is, whether have been biased and prejudiced again all German litigants wh' 'have appeared in my court to the ex .tent of preventing them from having a fair trial. Mr. -Tidd has not at tempted to confine himself to this issue, UDviousiy, wnere uermans up pear as litigants upon both sides of a case, there can tt no proof of race rreiudict, aa at least one German must nrevail. Suth are the cabei cited by Mr. Tida. In the Dotto divorce case, both Mr. and Mrs. Betts were of German descent. Mr. Bctta charged his wife with extreme cruelty and Ehe charged him with the same. I held he war entitled to a divorce but as a mattei of my fairness to Mrs. Betts, J awarded her $3,000.00 permanent alimony, the return of a $7,400.00 note, and the custody of her minor children. This is one or the largest awards of alimony made in a con tested case in my court. The Supreme Court on appeal said she was entitled to a divorce, but sustained my judg ment as to the amount of alimony and the custody of the minor chil dren. There can be no race prejudice shown in this case where two Ger mans were battling on opposite sides Statements of what attorneys said in their brief's is no part of the record and cannot be charged to me as i Couit. Mr. Tidd has made a deliberate misstatement as to the charge in the Hirz-Bartek case. The charge war not for entering a building ane" stealing a $10.00 ham. If such were the charge it would be a mistemeanoi and the defendant could not be giver a penitentiary sentence, or even r $500.00 fine. The charge was burg lary, in the night time, that is, for cibly breaking and entering a build ing with intent to steal property, it makes no difference whether they ac complished their purpose of stealing any property, the gist of the actlor being forcibly breaking and enter ing. If a burglar breaks into ycui building you do not have to wait un til he carries away your propertj before being able to send him to the penitentiary. Thus it will be seer that the mention of a 510.00 ham was made merely to becloud the issue The defendants were detected in the act of burglarizing the building of Mr. Weiss, a respected German farm er. He ordered them to surrende- and they threatened him with vio lence. He opened gun fire and thej escaped in Mr. Hirz' automobile. The next morning the two Bartek boy- surrendered, turned state's evidence against Mr. Hirz, and pleaded guilty One stated that his age was 15. Un der our statute no boy under the age of 18 years can be sentenced te the penitentiary. I therefore gav these boys a maximum fine o' $500.00, punishable under the statue There was no leniency shown here Mr. Hirz, concealed himself and be came a fugitive from justice. Hi: friends finally persuaded him to sur render and plead guilty. I sentencee him to the minimum penitentiary sentence. Mr. Weiss, the Germar received the benefit of this prose cution. After Mr. Hirz had served part of sentence, he wrote me expressing re morse and a desire to live a bettei life, and requested me to attempt tc seek a parole for him. I personally went to Lincoln, before the probation oflicer, and secured Mr. Hirz' aprole from the penitentiary after ter months of service. The Board mak ing a special concession in this case of paroling in legs than twelv months. Mr. Hirz owes me his lib erty at this time, and I think he ir deeply appreciative of the efforts '. put forth in his behalf. I know he is living up to the promises he made me and I think will continue to dc so. The rebuke administered to Mr Tidd was not made by a clique o' lawyers, but by the whole bar as sociation of Otoe County, Nebraska who stand for the highest ethics and honesty of their profession. The literature in question was libelour and untrue, made for the purpose of seeking to bring the District Court into disrepute and was a gra tuitious insult to myself. The rebuke was timely and was richly deserved. In order that it may be shown that this rebuke was not confined to the legal profession, I am attaching here to an unsolicited editorial from the Nebraska Daily News Press, and t resolution passed by the Sons of Hermon lodge at Nebraska Citq. Yours respectfully. JAMES T. BEGLEY. Anonymity Carries No Weight For the first time in many years the shadow of ananymity is usee" to attack a useful, serviceable public official of this and two adjoining counties. An attack has been made on the judical record of Judge James T. Beg ley of the second district, candidate ofr re-election. It declares in a state ment signed "Committee" that he has been- partial and unfair in hit decisions in certain classes of cases No one vouches for the statement just the "Committee" which, ap parently, is fearful of discovery and as all newspaper offices know, lurks in the background, hoping that, by some hook or crook, someone may believe vague, unsatisfactory, un truthful attacks. The best proof of a public official e worth to the people is his record Judge Begley's record is an open book the files of the court over which he has presided with distinction for sr many years. That record is unmis takable evidence that he HAS beer fair, impartial, efficient. Voters of this district know that he been r worthy official- jurors, attorneys other court officers, the public ir general. Only those who have trans gressed the law, who have paid the earned penalty for misbehavior, have any complaint, and that complain is without cause. They have hac fair trials, the "breaks" against them have been o their own doing. Grie vances of that sort carry no weight with law-abiding citizens. The anonymous attack in this in stance is similar to the "whisper ings" which have been carried on elsewhere, about which many peo ple know the effect of which is but the strengthening of Judge Begley; worth in the minds of his friends It is well konwn that anonymity if the expression of the disgruntled, the feeble effort to play the game by un fair, unsupported rules, the despair ing cry of the unsuccessful or the unfit. Resolution Whereas A. L. Tidd, a candidate for the office of judge of the District Court of the Second Judical District of Nebraska, has caused to be cir culated campaign literature contain ing the following statement, to-wit: "It is our opinion that citizens of German birth or descent have not had and do not have a fair and impartial trial in the Dis trict Court as now constituted." and Wliereas the charge containee1 therein is false and a libel upon the good name of the Hon. James T. Beg ley who has for 15 years last past presided over said Court in an honest, capable, courageous and impartial manner and Whereas said charge has the ef fect if left unchallenged of causing our people to loose faith in Courtf and government and Whereas the unmistakable purpose of said charge is to deceive citizens of German descent and kindle ir their hearts and minds race prejud ice and hatred and Where as said statement is a grave insult to the intelligence and pat riotism of citizens of German ex traction ; Be it therefore Resolved, that Teutonia Lodge No. 15 O. D. II. S in Nebraska City, Nebraska, conderr said statement as false, a libel on the good name of Hon. James T. Begley an unwarranted attack upon the in tegrity-of our courts, an unpatriotie attempt to create race prejudice and hatred among our citizens and an insult to the. intelligence and pat riotism of citizens of German descent meriting the- severest rebuke of al citizens regardless Of race, color oi creed.
