Three years before this tho axes required by the last and mow), 'esiliseil noiitillKt !uliiiinlHtr:il inti u. ru '1,3l9,2iiit. In the campalen of ix!tg! lorton AlliHugh and his slate central ommittee sent out oceans of lltern 'ire charging this populist ndmlnls ratlon with extravagance. The flrnt erm of Stanley's administration saw in advance of $:!0f!,471 In the taxes 'aken from the people for state pur poses. In 1903 the Bailey house, hacked by the Burton senate, pro vided for the collection of $2,500,000 In tate taxes from the peoide. Here was an Increase of -f7M.209 bid ween '!i00 and l'JOI. It was an increase of 11,150,710 between the lat term of he populists and the last term of the republicans. It is the record made by tho 'personally conducted' stale ad ministrations since Governor l.eedy retired from office. Like Roosevelt In the White house, the republican offi cials come high in Kansas; but you I now prosperity Is upon us and graft ing Is the 'fad. The voters appear to like it and so long as they are will ing to dig up tho price, no one ought to kick." This is hardly so black a record as the republicans have made in Nebras ka, but it Is similar to republican ad ministration everywhere. Here In Nebraska the 1903 repub lican legislature appropriated 13,740, 2X0.70 for republican state officials to expend in the two years ending March 31, 1905. The populist legislature of 3807 appropriated only $2,335,843.40 to uo expended by populist state officers In the two years ended March 31, 380!l; and the fact is, that $212,000 of this amount was not expended at all, but lapsed into the treasury. At first blush one vrou'd Incline to believe that as human nature Is pret ty much the same everywhere, tho fact that Individual republicans are ex travagant and Individual populists the i;nmi In nersonal matters, that the lact of one administration being more 4 extravagant than another, or one be ing more economical than another. Is simply .accidental and not fundamen tal. But Investigation into the un derlying causes which produce politi cal parties, and the forces behind them, will show that it Is no accident that republican officials throw money right and left In all sorts of wasteful iiml useless, if not criminal, undertak ings. It all comes from the Irresistible and inevitable conflict between the big fel lows, and the little ones, or, in a mrasurc, between the industrialists end the farmers. The republican party Is the repre sentative of. and Is controlled by, he 1 lg manufacturing, banking, and transportation Interests. The officers elected by this psirty mny or may not be of these Interests, but they are al ways FOR them, either as principals or " npents. For example, Leslie's Monthly avers that Nelson AV, Aid- rich Is "th prime mover of legisla tion favorable to corporations;" Sena tor Quay, "leader In the fight sgalnt restricted Immigration on behalf of the fnrekn temhlp lines;" Senator KIMns. "hend of the beet sunr loh bt;" Senntor J. II. Millard. "otMng friend of the micnr l'et tnmt and al-o h ninl"'v of the I'nlon rciuV rsll rmd;" Senator hletrtih.

Now, that tmli ues every sort of tax, except tha !ud:.-ect ones. What farmer with a $1,400 farm escapes by paying $2.39 in state, county, township and school tax'.r? Well, paying an Insignificant part of the taxes proportionate to wealth owned, these corporations care Utile about extravagance if they can con trol the taxliif? power. In fact, to hold their agents in line and keep them content, they must not only per mit extravagance, but must encourage if because by so doing they retain a lirge force of men always ready to do fheir bidding in order to share in the IrrfiL The people's party is made up of the teally heavy taxpayers. Not that any one man pays a largo sum, but as a class populists pay more laxes on earh S 1 00 of actual value than men In any other party. Of course, most of trielr remiblleun "mullet head" neigh bors are mulcted as hard, but the leading republicans In every comniun- l;y the men who no tne campaign work and shout, "vote Vr straight" they ftet some sop that evens up what-e-'er disadvantage they may bo under it. h matter of taxes.
