TAXATION THE REAL ISSUE
Taxation is the issue in this campaign, however hard politicians
may endeavor to center upon questions that have been settled as definite
ly as is the right of women to vote. These politicians who are respon
sible for placing this burden of taxation upon the people of the state,
like the chl'd who has been discovered in some infraction of parental
authority, would prefer to talk about something else, anything to get
away from the real issues of taxation and extravagance of the present
state administration. When pinned down to the tax itsuc they say the
farmer is to blame for it all and that the only way to reduce taxation is
by reduction of local school taxation and a reduction of pay to teachers,
etc., but that the state tax must go on. They maintain that code secre
taries cannot bo had for less than $5,000 00 per year and must be allow
ed to travel from one end of the country to the other at state expense.
Why, these employes spend more than a thousand dollars for each work
ing day of the year in travel expense alone. In seven months, accord
ing to their own official report, their traveling expense account was as
follows:
" Railroad Fare, ... $ C3.000.00

While $39,000.00 was being spent for automobile hire the state
owned or at least paid the license in Lancaster county on C7 automobiles.

THE TOTAL STATE TAX CHARGED AGAINST WEBSTER
COUNTY DURING THE PAST FOUR YEARS UNDER THE
CODE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT
CHARGED THE PROOCEEDING FOUR YEARS BY $12S,8SG 19.
CONSULT THE RECORDS AT RED CLOUD AND VERIFY
THESE FIGURES.
STATE TAXES ALONE FOR THE YEARS 1910-1918 and 1921 on
tVe Tarms shown below illustrate how the individual taxpayer of Web
ster county.is effected:

Tho rate of increase' shov.n in the foregoiw ImI of iraw will a;uI.
to other fanner.! of tho county. About the same t; peisi-nnl properly,
EXCEFr STOCKS AND BONDS WHICH ARE ASSESSED AT OM-Y
25 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
Thus while the t:.en havo increased, faroors incomes have been
deflated.
Cuarles W. Bryan says that if you are satisfied with what you havo
had, do not vole for him. But if you want relief from thcSe high .taxes
wo tHnk a vote for Mr. Bryan will not bo m'spluccd.
Hon. G M. Hitchcock will do all he can t repeal the Fordney-Mc-Cumbcr
ta ill law. This will justify your voting for him.
COUNTY TREASURER BERT DUCKER
Beit Duckcr, democratic candidate for county treasurer, came to
Red Cloud when n suinll boy and has been a resilient here mo-a of tho
lime since. Tho tax books arc made in the county clerk s office and ho
has become familiar with the woik of the treasurer office. Wnh h's

trea. uicr's office. 11c has had thirty years experience in tho mercantile
business and has been deputy county .clerk for six years.
COUNTY CLERK U. I-'. pf.KRY
B. F. Perry needs no introduction to ti osc who have hud business
at the county clerk's office. Ho 's accoi.unrd.tiinjc and knows tho work.
All the county records as t deeds arc it ulcr his care.
You that havo had no busirer., at this oiTico since Perry has been

ka and has lived t Red Cloud tho last fourteen years.

if elected to tho legislature.
SHERIFF FRANK IIUFFER
Frank Iluffcr, our present sheriff, is as true as nteel. He lm been
tried and not found wanting. Ho is the enemy of the bootlegger and
other lawbreakers.
Thorcfoie, Voters, wo believe that you should remember this s'lent
man who has rounded up so many of these law breakers and caused many
cf them to plead guilty and pay fines. Remember him November 7th.
COMMISSIONER W. E. PATTERSON
W. E. Patterson for county commissioner is a firmer "who lives in
the northwest part of tho county. He has made a success of his own
business and will make as much of a success for you. This is an im-
portnntpfficc and a man like Patterson is needed.
Tho committee has not attempted to sot out at great length pages
of fulsome praise for tho Democratic candidates. But wo make n few
suggestions so that you may investigate. Wo believe thoy are worthy
of your support.
