WRAY ASKS BRYAN
SEVERAL QUESTIONS
York, Neb., Oct. 7.—The following
letter has been sent to W. Bryan
by Arthur G. Gray for his answer to
four very important questions:
“To Hon. W. J. Bryan:—As inde
pendent voters, we have heretofore re
ceived inspiration from your high
ideals and have gone through party
lines many times to cast a vote for
you when needed,
“Many of us look for moral leader
ship from you and we believe it only
fair to ask you the following questions
concerning the senatorial candidacy of
G. M. Hitchcock:
“1. Is it not morally wrong to sup
port the re-election of Hitchcock who
was against the Nebraska state prohi
bition amendment in 1917, who op
posed national prohibition in the sen
ate, who voted against the Volstead
act, who recently favored a return to
beer and wine and now straddles that
issue, and who never has publicly an
nounced that his former position was
wrong?
“2. Is it democratic to vote for a
man who opposed giving the franchise
to Nebraska women in 1914, who cast
the single vote in the United States
senate that denied American women
the right to. vote for several years,
who on final passage of the measure
voted against the national suffrage
amendment, and who at heart would
now favor the repeal of the national
and state suffrage amendments?
“3. Is it progressive to favor the
return to the senate of a man who
was for the Esoh Cummii s railroad
law, who did not vote on many im
portant roll calls in the senate, whose
political connection with Wall street
are so close that he favored the nomi
nation of Governor Harmon (the Wall
street candidate) for president, and
whose own candidacy is being sup
ported now by special interests?
“4. Is it right to urge the election
of sttch a man, and oppose R. B. How
ell who is a life long progressive, who
has a record of constructive achieve
ment in behalf of the people without
a parallel in the United States, whose
views are independent and his per
sonal life and dealings entirely honor
able?”

SENATOR HITCHCOCK
SPEAKS IN O’NEILL
Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock spoko
at the Knights of Columbus hall Tues
day night in the interest of his can
didacy for re-election. A fair-sized
audience was in attendance, both the
main auditorium and the gallery or
balcony being fairly well filled, and
the speaker was given close attention
during the entire course of his re
marks. Judge J. J. Harrington pre
sided and introduced the speaker.
Senator Hitchcock’s address was divi
ded into two sections, the first being a
discussion of taxation and concluding
with an appeal for the support of
Charley Bryan and the democratic leg
islative cadidates. The second section
dealt with national issues and con
tained but a passing reference to the
recent vote of the bonus bill, the
senaltor being loath to criticise the
veto for fear that some of the lead
ing democrats in his audience might
be opposed to a bonus and not desin
ing to give them the impression that
he is unalterably for one.
I he senator displayed some heat
and agitation in discussing state taxes,
which he said had been going up for
five or six years. He neglected to
state however that a portion of that
time was under a democratic gov
ernor’s administration and that a re
publican governor occupied the execu
tive chair less than four years of the
time. In his discussion of taxation the
senator dealt mostly in generalities
and sums total, concluding by inti
mating that the code department was
to blame for it all, making no refer
ence whatever to the road program,
the new state capital, education and
extension of state institutions, most
of which things were inaugurated by
the democratic administration and
for which the republican administra
tion has been left to pay. Avoidance
of detail discussion of the subjects was
perhaps due to the fact that only very
recently has the senator had oppoi*tu
nity to become personally conversant
with the burdens of taxation. It was
only recently, while his newspaper
was complaining of the burden of
taxes, that it was discovered that
Senator Hitchcock’s name had not ap
peared on the personal tax rolls of
Douglas county for several years. He
is the only Omaha millionaire who
bears unique distinction. When
the, was made public the
senator made haste to have the over
sight rectified and in so doing it turned
cut to be a very good thing for Doug
las county for on his last previous
pe^ronal return, in 1918, he was as
sessed as owning $500 worth of per
sonal property in the county, and
under the old law was only assessed on
$100 of that amount. In making out
his personal return for 1922 he turned
in personal property to the amount of
$43,755, or an increase of $43,255 over
the year 1918, which really is not as
imposing as it seems for one whose
wealth is rated in the millions. For
the year 1919 he turned in no per
sonal property; for the year 1920, the
amount of $9,702; and $19,215 for the
year 1321. Realizing that the senator
probably was “het up” because his
name had been placed on the Douglas
county personal tax rolls the audience
took his statements with a grain of
salt.
The tariff came in for a very large
share of Senator Hitchcock’s attention.
He told of the times of democratic
prosperity beginning with 1913, refer
ring lovingly to high prices and wages
as being responsible, and then declar
ed that under the republican tariff it
was proposed to raise prices again.
How this would make good times
under one administration and poor
ones under another he did not attempt
to explain. Deflation, he said, with the
contraction of credits and the cur
rency, brought on the hard times about
two and one-half years ago, beginning
with the incorporation in the republi
can platform of a deflation plank.
Although the republicans did not come
into power until almost a year after
this and deflation began under a dem
ocratic president and a democratic
federal reserve bank board the sum
mer before the presidental election,
the senator insisted that the republi
cans were to blame, although not go
ing into details as to what kind of in
fluence they exerted over President
Wilson and the federal reserve board,
and how. The senator talked dole
fully of the hard times of now as com
pared with the good ones of but a few
years ago. He reiterated that the re
publicans in their less than two years
of control of national affairs were re
sponsible for the stringency of more
than two and one-half years duration
which began with the deflation in
augurated under President Wilson. In
talking of the good times previous to
1920, and comparing them with condi
tions under the present administra
tion, the senator made no reference to
his own personal tax schedules for the
two periods, which are disclosed by
the Douglas county tax records to be
as follows:
Year Valuation
1916 . $ 4,825
1917 . 2,700
1918 . 500
1919 .
1920 . 9,702
1921 . 19,215
1922 .! 43,755
The assessment rate in the years
1916, 1917 and 1918 were on one-fifth
valuation, so that Hitchcock paid
taxes for those years on totals of $985,
$540 and $100, respectively.
Note how the senator’s personal
property statements under democratic
prosperity compared with those he
: has made under republican adversity.
