Tax Reduction
to be Stressed by
Charley Bryan
Says Farms Up 80 Per Cent; Op
poses State Payment of
Bank Deposits
Charles W. Bryan, former gov
ernor, filed again for the office to
day as a democratic candidate, with
a statement declaring his purpose
"of carrying on the fight to reduce
taxes in the state of Nebraska and
to protect the bank deposits of the
people when placed by them in banks
for safe-keeping."
Mr. Bryan said that he had
hoped "some -representative demo
crat other than myself" with similar
convictions would file; but that he
has been convinced the goal he seeks
is his own unfinished work. He de
clares for a state income tax, paved
roads, and old-age pensions.
His statement follows:
To Protect Deposits.
"I have filed as a candidate
for governor for the purpose of
carrying on the fight to reduce
taxes in the state of Nebraska
and to protect the bank deposit o
of the people when placed by
them in banks for safe-keeping.
"I had hoped that some repre
sentative democrat other than
myself, with convictions on the
importance o! reducing slate
taxes and protecting bank de
positors would be willing to file
and stand as the democratic can
didate for governor this year.
Democratic leaders, together
with hundreds of taxpayers and
bank depositors throughout the
state, regardless of party afflia
tion insist that the issue of tax
reduction and hank security,
which is the cornerstone of the
future prosperity of the state, is
my unfinished work and that
they consider it my duty to rep
resent them in the coming
struggle to restore people's rul;
in Nebraska.
"The three last republican na
tional administrations, culminat
ing with the work at our present
great stationary engineer at
Washington, has brought high
tariffs, and higher tariffs, mer
gers of all kinds of corporations,
utilities and consolidations with
resultant trusts, combines, hold
ings companies, chain banks and
chain stores, which have thrown
millions of employes out of work
by collecting and pyramiding in
the east wealth that should havs
been left in the agricultural sec
tions of the country where it was
created, and has brought stag
' nation to all kinds of business
throughout the nation, which in
turn has brought about 14-cent
eggs, 24-cent cream, 05 cent
wheat to the men and women
on Nebraska farms and demoral
iled the live stock prices and all
other agricultural products and
has brought agriculture to the
verge of ruin.
Greatly Increased Taxes.
"The republican administra
tion in Nebraska has increased
the taxes on farm property and
the homes of the common people
SO per cent since my term as
governor ended six years ago,
and this administration has in
creased the cost of state govern
ment 30 per cent during the last
two years, although they sacred
ly promised the people in the
last state campaign that they
would reduce taxes if that party
was entrusted with power again.
More than 33 per cent of the
farmers' income now goes to pay
taxes which are levied upon
him, a great deal of which is
unnecessary and inexcusable.
The enormous increase in tax
ation by the republican admin
istration has led to waste, extra
vagance, enormous increases in
salaries of state employes, creat
ed unnecessary state jobs, plac
ed hundreds of unnecessary men
on the payroll for political pur
poses, and all coming at a time
when the farmers' income is be
ing constantly reduced through
the greed of Wall street, the
stock gamblers and the uncon
scionable profiteers of all kinds.
How to Reduce Taxes.
"To reduce taxes appropri
ations must be reduced, the
army of unnecessary code em
ployes through its ramifications
of boards, commissions, bureaus,
inspectors, investigators and
political haners-on must be abol
ished, rigid economy introduced
and a state income tax should be
levied, not for the purpose of
raising more tax money, but for
the purpose of replacing part of
the farm and homes taxes, which
should be and can be reduced on
each good quarter section of
farm land $30 to $40 and pro
portionally on smaller farms and
homes and other real estate,
which will require those who
reap where the farmer has
sown, to pay their just share of
the cost of government in this
state. This will increase the
farmers' purchasing power, in
crease all kinds of business tn
Nebraska and increased em
ployes, labor and wages by re
quiring a larger per cent of
wealth created in Nebraska to
be spent in our state which is
now spent abroad and else
where. "You cannot continue to drain
- the state of its money faster. ;
than our farms and factories
can bring it back to Nebraska
without killing the hen that lays
the golden egg that all Ne
braskans live off of, viz, Agri
culture. "State and county records
show that I caused ttate taxes
to be reduced 33 per cent, and
the number of state employes to

The upper picture shows the
picture is cf the School for the Blind
BLIND AND I'ZAF IN NE
BRASKA WELL EDUCATED
The advantages cf education in
Nebraska, second state in literacy,
are not confined to youth of normal
endowments but are distributed quite
impartially to those unfortunates
who have been handicapped in the
battle of life. The school for the
blind at Nebraska City and the school
for the deaf at Omaha are successful
and worthy attempts on the part of
the statp to give specialized educa
tion to underprivileged children.
The School for the Blind receives
youths who are totally blind or whose
eye sight is so deficient as to render
them unable to attend the common
schools. It is a free state institution,
supported by taxation.
A full high school course is offer
ed. Pupils graduating from this
school may pass immediately to col-
be reduced nearly two-thirds
during my former term as gov
ernor. Will the taxpayers again
help me to take the tax-eaters off
their backs?
"A Parade in Purple."
"Do the taxpayers want the
state government put back on a
business basis or are they will
ing to pay this enormous in
crease to watch republicans par
ade in royal purple at the tax
payers' expense?
"The governor and republican
party promised the voters that
they would reduce taxes, but in
stead they have increased the
cost of state government 30 per
cent already and the governor
has promised President Hoover
that he will spend millions more
during his administration, which
of course the taxpayers w'ill
have to pay.
"The governor promised to re
peal the cede law, but every de
partment, bureau, and commis
sion is in full working order and
he has increased the number on
the nay roll and has increased
salaries as much as 50 per cent.
Watch Yonr Ballot.
"The five hundred thousand
taxpayers in Nebraska know
that taxes are so high now that
thousands of property owners
will lose their property this year
by sheriff sale on account of de
linquent taxes. And yet an ef
fort is being made by the gov
ernor and the republican party
to hang onto the taxpayers
eight million dollars in taxes,
that the banks owe to depositors
in failed hanks. The taxpayers
of this state have no legal or
moral obligation to shoulder this
additional tax of eight million
dollars. It is the entering wedge
by our republican banker admin
istration to saddle onto the tax
payers the entire eighteen mil
lion dollars that the banks now
owe to depositors. The deposi
tors in failed banks are entitled
to their money, but they should
immediately insist and make
their insistence felt as the polls
in November that the governor
should do his duty and use every
power at his command to secure
payment for the depositors from
those who owe it and not at
tempt to compel depositors to
tax their own property to pay
their own deposits and to take
their neighbor's property who
do not owe this and whose on1:
responsibility in the matter :
that they voted the repuh1ir:r.

ernor. Hard Surface Roads.
"The matter of good roads in
Nebraska is of every increasing
importance. The gravel policy
was established under my ad
ministration and under which
nearly 500 miles of roads were
graveled, has proved of great
value throughout the state and
gravel roads must be extended
and maintained. It is however,
an economic necessity at this
time, owing to the tremendous
increased automobile traffic and
the ever increasing weight of
truck loads necesary to make
a modification of our road pol
icy so that the number of miles
of paved roads can be greatly
increased annually.
Labor and Old Age Pension.
"The people of Nebraska must
soon consider the question of un
employment of labor; some
action must be taken so that
men who are able mentally and
physically are not deprived of
an opportunity to earn a liv
ing by being discriminated
against on account of their
having reached 45 years of age.
"An old age pension plan
should be provided for with the
assistance of the state as it is
being done in other states.
"The banking question and
the guarantee cf deposits will
be discussed in a day or two in
a separate statement.
"I will later discuss law en
forcement, water power, munic
ipal ownership and other
questions the people cf Nebras
ka are interested in securing a
solution for.
"Honesty must be restored in
public life; deception and hypoc
ricy must be eliminated, and a
sacred pledge given to the peo
ple in a political platform and
by candidates must be sacredly
kept. Public officers must be
retired from public life who
have violated their sacred prom
ises to the people. Political par

Iowa Towns to
Get in on the
Natural Gas
Line to Cross the River at This Place
ill Supply Many Places
to the South
The natural gas lines which are
coming to this part of Nebraska anil
western Iowa, have created much
interest in the cities where there has
heretofore been no gas service and
in the cities where gas service also
exists, the promise of a cheaper line
of fuel for heat and power is at
tracting attention.
The company that has extended
their line as far as Palmyra in Otoe
county and is operating as a part of
the system that will be used by tho
Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Co.,
is to supply a great many cities along
the route of their large twenty-four
inch gas mains, and among the latest
places to seek the natural gas line
are Hamburg, Tabor and Sidney.
The line crossing the Missouri river
at this place will run branch pipe
lines from the main pipe line t'j
handle the needs of the communities.
The town of Pacific Junction will
hold a special election on July 10th
for the purpose of granting a fran
chise to the Iowa-Nebraska Light &
Power Co., to install and serve tho
people of that place with natural
gas service.
Glen wood this week voted to have
natural gas franchise granted in

community there with the new cheap
fuel.
