past year. Three near-serious
have occurred during the same

spot. None of these accidents
were caused by reckless driving.
Here is a bridge upon a curve and
in the cross roads. Where can a
more blazing combination of
danger colors occur. Here is
where the proper oliicials can step
in and prevent a death of some
one traveling upon this road or a
suit against Hie county for ten or
twenty thousand, by simply
building a "safe and sane" bridge

NARROW ESCAPE
IN Mi AUTO
ACCIDENT
Murray Citizens Havo a Very
Close Call in Automobile
Accident.
From Wednesday's Daily.
What might have easily been a
fatal automobile accident occur
red last evening about 8 o'clock
at the bridge over the creek just
a short distance south of the .Jean
school house on the road to Mur
ray. Sam Pitman was returning
home to .Murray from this eily in
his large Case touring car, and
was accompanied by Albert Young
and F.d S Tut I of that. place.
They were not running at un
usual speed as they approached
the bridge, which js situated ju-l
where the road from Mynard
joins the Murray load, and as Mr.
Pitman attempted to make the
turn in the road to go over the
bridge the tie-rod connecting the
two front wheels of the machine,
broke and Tendered the steering
gear of the car useless in guiding
its course, and it was carried
onto the bridge, striking th" rail
ing on the west side and turned
completely over, pinning the
occupants of the car beneath if.
The accident was witnessed by
several parlies coming along Un
load and they at once went to the
assistance of the occupants of the
car. gelling- them out :.id assist
ing in righting the ear. which
was then dragged out of the creek
and was soon running" in good
shape, being- only slightly dam
aged in the fnuil and I lie break

The men in the car suffered
only a few bruises from the ef
fects of the fall, bul had it not
been for the fact that tin' car was

GEORGE W. BERGE
Democratic Candidate for Governor
To th Tax Payr-rs:
There is appilbng oxtravacance in
tho a'J;r.ini.-:ration iT the state's busi
ness. Hvery time th- iesi-Iature m etg
appropriations aro iriorease'l; more
offirps anrl onrrml?.innsi are created;
and tax burins are growing heavier
every year. We do not complain if
our taxes are legitimately spent, but
we do most emphatically protest
against reckless extravagance.
Appropriations for all Purposes.
Years Appropriations
1803-34 $2.2C8 940.25
1SC7-C3 4,267',257.31
1911-12 6,184.552.81
1913-14 8,155,077.73
In 1S&3 it cost us $3.02.", each day to
run the entire state government, anj
today it eost.i us $11,171 each day. an
increase of 270 per cent, while the pop
ulation increased less than 20 per
cent. The last legislature appropri
ated $1.070.52 4.02 more than the pre
ceding legislature.
Appropriations for Salaries Alone.
Years
1S93-94
1911-12
1913-14
Appropriations
$1,021,932
2.598.340
2.735,210.
Tho last
legislature
appropriated
$137. .70 more for salaries alone than
the legislature two years before. Sal
ary appropriations are more than two
and one-half times larger now than in
IS03. It costs us S722 more each day
now to pay salaries alone than it cost
us to run the entire state government
in 1S!3.
In 1S93 we paid legislative employes
$23,537.83.
In 1911 we paid legislative employes
$41,460.00.
In 1913 we paid legislative employes
$51 E53.C0.
The last .legislature paid out $10,403
more for legislative employes alone
than the preceding legislature paid
for the same purpose.
I deny that this enormous increase
is necessary. I charge most of it to
frightful extravagance. The business
of the state is not run on a business
basis. Let rne give only a few illus
trations:
In 1SS0 the legislature paid out
$4,116.40 for postage. This is enough
to pay the postage on 220.S20 letters or
l,Cff letters for each member.
In 1S0." the legislature paid out
$2,3S3.r,a for pages; $2.."or, for custo
dians; $3207 for janitors and $1,3I7.!T
for newspapers for members.
The 1011 legislature paid out $.",-
SCO.f.O for custodians and $2,00.".." for
janitors.
The 1013 legislature paid out $7,329 .
for custodians; $1,3S0 for scrgeant-at-
arms; $1,770 for gate and doorkeep
ers; $1,1)03 for porters and Janitors;
$1,002 for watchmen, and $339 for
photographs, cuts and half tones.
Just think of it. 7,320 for custodi
ans (hat hangers) to hang up the coats
and hats of the members during the
last session. This is about $S0.00 for
each day. Any wonder our taxes aro
going up?
A legislative committee recently re
ported that $15,210 would have been
amply suflieient to pay legislative em
ployes for the last legislature. That
legislature, however, paid out $31,-
EC3.00, or $3G,C53.-00 more than this
legislative committee said was neces
sary. Just think of it, $3G, 653.00 of the
tax payers' money wasted on legisla
tive employes alone during one ses
sion of the legislature lasting a little
more than' two months. In other
words $36,C33.00 of the tax payers'
money was taken out of the state
treasury during one session with which
to pay political debts. This is only an
illustration. Every legislature and the
entire business of the state is honev-
combea witn frightful extravmrnnro
Millions of dollars could be saved if
the business of the state was con
ducted on a business basis.
And while this appalling extrava
gance is going on we learn that al
though the last legislature appropri
ated nearly $2,000,000.00 more than tho
preceding legislature, that right now
the state of Nebraska is nearly $1,
000,000.00 behind in the payment of its
current expenses. It is admitted bv
state officials that it will be necessary
to levy a l-mlll special tax this year
to get us out of the hole.
All of this is astounding, and I sav
arastic steps are necessary to put a
stop to it ail. My battle in this cam
paign is to help clean up the state
house and put the business of the state
on a business basis. I am in favor of
hberal appropriations for all legitimate
furPsf' but I a unalterably opposed
