A LESSON FOR NEBRASKANS
"Turn the Rascals Out" That the People
May Know for Once In Six Years
Where the Money Goes.
For six years the republican party
has controlled the legislative and ex
ecutive affairs of this state. They
have made the appropriations, equal
ized the assessments, made the levies,
collected the state taxes, and spent
the money. They have absolutely
controlled the finances and must be
held entirely responsible for the low
taxation on railroad property, the
high taxation on other property, in
creased state taxes levied upon the
various counties of the state and the
extravagant appropriations made by
the various legislatures. r
In DK)0 the amount of taxes charged
by the state board of equalization for
the maintenance of state government
was II, 208,984.94; this year, 1906, the
present state board (of which Searle
and Eaton, who are running for re
election, formed a partjhave Increased
the state taxes to the enormous sum
of t2.191.421.85; nearly a million dol
lars more. No reasonable argument
can be advanced for this high taxation
and it Is doubly aggravating when It
Is noted that 11,856,744.48 is contrib
uted by all other property and the
balance is assessed and will probably
not be paid, but fought by the rail
roads as In 1903, and later. State
taxes are steadily Increasing year by
year, with no decrease of the outstand
ing Indebtedness. Look at the figures
as shown by the state auditor's report:
State taxes, 1900 $1,208,984.94
1901 1.232,1191.92
" 1902 1,131,194.61
" 1903 1,513,316.38
" 1904 I,7ti8,(!75.24
1905.. 2,131,296.69
" 1906 2,191,421.85
So much for partisan politics, as
may be claimed, but there Is no dis
puting the above figures unless the
official books at Lincoln are wrong.
In Missouri there is a lively fight on
between the democrats and republi
cans, and taxation is one of the lead
ing questions. The Jefferson City
Tribune has ascertained the state levy
for the states in this Immediate vicin
ity, and here is the result:
Iowa, republican, 35 cents.
Nebraska, republican, 65 cents.
Illinois, republican, 52 cents.
Kansas, republican, 52 cents.
Missouri, democratic, 17 cents.
Is not that a lesson for the taxpay
ers? Nebraska the youngest state in
the group, pays by far the largest tax,
and almost four times as much as Mis
souri. Th.nk ot It, you who pay taxes.
When tho fuslonlsts were In power
in this state they reduced the state
debt and put tho outstanding war
rants at par. Since the republicans
have had charge of affairs they in
creased the debt. If the people want
to continue this system of financiering
all they have to do Is to vote the re
publican ticket. If they want the
taxes reduced then vote for the dcrn-
crats. "Hy their fruits shall you know
them."
