Former Governor Bryan Charges Misuse of Funds Address at Snrinrfeld Picnic Includes I o d L a Demand for a New Session n Board of Equalization. Springfield, Neb., Aug. 19. C. W. Bryan in addressing the Farmers and Merchants picnic here today said: "One of the most important things to the people of the state is confidence in their government. To maintain this confidence public officials must be scrupulously honest not only in each act but in each public state--ment." Mr. Bryan said that, "the recent political tax levy by the present re publican administration of one and eight 'tenths per cent and the state ment by the governor that this shows a large tax reduction ana saving xo the people and that it is as low as the former administration is only a half-truth and conveys a false im pression. During my administration the 1 8-10 mill levy covered not only all of the spending agencies of the 6tate but included funds to meet Fed eral aid roads and all the other ex penses of the public works depart ment. The 1 8-10ilevy by the McMul- len administration does not include any funds for meeting Federal aid or any other expense of the road depart ment and the people are being taxed three million dollars a year in the form of a gasoline tax under this ad ministration for this year's work. This shows a juggling of figures and terms to mislead and deceive the tax payers. "Exposures just made as shown by press dispatches from the capitol show this administration in addition to the waste and extravagance which is costing the farmers on state taxes this year about 136 on each quarter section, now find, that this adminis tration in order tp pay the incerased salaries. and for 'the salaries of new employees has already spent over one and one half million dollars for cur rent expenses out of the gasoline tax that is being collected exclusively for good roads. This means that the peo ple are paying a gas tax for good roads and are not getting good roads or if they get the good roads there is going to be at least a one and one- half million deficit that the tax pay ers will have to make up in another ,'avy after the campaign is over. The tax payers should demand that the state board of equalization should immediately reconvene and levy suf ficient money to pay for the extrava gances of this administration and to prevent another great deficit from be ing handed over;, to the democratic administration next year like was handed over to the democratic ad ministration four years ago by the McKelvie administration." Governor Bryan challenged Gov ernor McMullen to show deficits. shortages, scandals or shootings of people under his administration. GUARD ENCAMPMENT IS PRAISED BY PATJI Lincoln The annual encampment of the Nebraska national guard, which just . closed at Ashland, was the most successful national guard camp ever held in Nebraska, and Ad jutant General H. J. Paul as he was returned to' the stat Capitol Wed nesday. "Our permanent equipment and facilities are better than ever, before, and weather was more favorable than at previous camps," he said.
