The . most comprehensive document dealing with this question Is the ( blelnlnl report or Auditor MOQre , but . It Is 10lhtfl1 ) whether any member has tnken the trouble to acquaint him- IcC , wih Its COl tents. Mr. Moore strikes the key note of the situation liy the following declaration : Our present revenue laws are grossly inadequate and ore practcaly suspended so far a the assessment of property Is concerned. With the present aggregate valuation and the limit being I mis on the dollar for the geneal fund1 I Is dIfcul to raIse sufcient revenue to meet current appropriations. With a floating debt drnw- log 7 per cent Interest , It Is especially hn- portant that the appropriations be reduced to a minimum The lessons of the ( most rigid economy that are taught by the pres- pnt times and are observed by our people , as never before are worthy of emulation In all of the departments. ' The appropriations of the state have exceeded the amounts derived from the tax levies for the past eight years by the sum of $737,038.33 , or an excess of $230,946.37 ! In appropriations over the total tax levies without - out the allowance for any dehhiiqtiencies. . S S I Is evident that the most rigid economy must obtain In al appropriations In order that the re\'enues lay pay the slate's current expenses and be of any mo- tonal old lu reducing the floating iiidebt- edness under the present lax system of taxation , and I urge upon you the Imllor- ( alice of some speedy acton by the Icgls- laturo tending te an Increase of our revenues. :1' :100'0 dwells mO'c eHllcclll ' 11101 tIlt necessity for mntcI'lnl Icllte- tols In the IIY roll of state I1Stll- he ninkes the fol tonH , On this score nllws lowllg Iccom1cnlil tons : \Vhiilo unprecedented frugality has prevailed - vale In all of the states institutions In the past two years , the large and expensive pay roll would stein to justify the belief that material reductions might be brought about In the salarIes wIthout Impairing the public service. : ho wages paid the ( state's servants ere better than any other cess of employes receive during these times , and eSI > oclaly Is that true of those employed In thl institutions which board tim employe at the expense of the state.

There Is 10 geol reason why the reg- Istm"s olce should be mel'gcl In the county clerk's office. The office was cl'eatel because the clerk had all ho could ntend to wih ctconcy ali .Ii' patch. In fact the clerk has been un- able to attend to the duties devolvIng on him , anti the olco of county auditor was created to relieve 11m from the re sonslblty of checking up the various . lepnrtmclts , We also fail to C011n'I. lend why the clerl's office should bo changed from a two'enr to u four-'elu' term because the register , of deeds , and the ' clerk of the court each have four- year tCI'ms The change , IC ally Is to be mode , . should be thc other war.

One oC the most vIcIous Ilrln- elples upon which legislative bodies very ' often act Is that each member Is supposed to look out for his own county or district first and the state afterward. There wIll therefore be the usual scrmble between representatives to hog a big appropriation for their locality , regardless of the sum total of the tax levy. This ought not 10 be the case. but It will be. And yet the re- publcanism of time newspapers will be ques- toned I during the next legislative cam- paIgn they do not constantly Insist that the party representatives In the legislature always sat up nIghts studyIng where they could save the state money.

Chicago Is In the business of buying Western products and exchanging therefor lie output of her wholesale houses and factorlcs. I western production Is cut off In any state or section Chicago's commercial interests suf- fer correspondingly , hence Chicago Is directy Interested right now In time problem of seed- log Nebraska farms and the future movement of -a large and proftabl crop. The propsi- ton that has been made does not apply to any partcular locality . but to any portion of the state where seed grain Is needed , therefore If there Is a general acceptance the seed question Is as good as settled.

Mexico Is commonly termed a republic. A greater untruth was never uttered , I Is a monarchy , absolute . pure ant silmilihe.

The army , which does neariy all the police work , Is made up almost ] wholly i frol the criminal ranls. A Celon , Instead of being put In jail , Is put In the army. THE ELECTIONS ARE A FARCE. A few days prior to an election each voter receIves a ticket through the mails on which Is printed the nnmes of candidates agreeable to the powers that be. Ho can vote for anyone he pleases , but the soldiers who conduct the boils , do not bother wIth useless atempts to read written names , and only the re ular tickets are printed. The results are that It Is unsafe to openly toke the side of any but the party In power. When a man I has opposed It , a government spy waits upon ; hIm with the Informaton that his presence : on Mexican sol Is offensive. The wise man emigrates , and lives. The fool stays-nnd dies. Thus the congressmen and Judiciary are only tools In the hands of the president. All tickets . even down to the small municipalities - cipalities . are first mode up and submitted to the president for his npproval. Their sub- sequent election by the people Is merely a mater of form. The president of Mexico , Porfrlo Diaz , Is : a truly great man , In the wIdest and fullest sense of the term. He Is a full-blooded ful-blooded Aztec Indian , of strong mental and physical powers , a freethinker , devoid of al super- stitloim , and n believer In progression. Perhaps - haps after all thing are duly considered , It is I , best for Mexico In its present condition that It has nn autocratic ruler. The Ignorance - norance and poverty of the mosses forbid a republican form of government. Left to themselves , anarchy would prevail.
