The Phillips County Post, Phllllps

rom the Manhattan (Kas.) Mercury:

"In 1000 the taxes required to pay
xpenses of the ftate government was
'1,7 15,7.'! I. 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

it paid $2.39 taxes on each $1,400 of
capital, or about $1.71 on eachjmn
f.rcd dollars of property. Now, that
tmli ues every sort of tax, except tha

$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

any other party. Of course, most of
