(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 10 (Special.) An Inves
tigation of the public records In the office
of the state auditor should demonstrate
to a fair-minded person that this year Is
a good year to "let Tell enough alone"
and not change the complexion of the
state administration or the state legisla
ture. According to the figures compiled; by
Deputy Auditor Anthes It Is shown that
the state has been running In debt for
years at the rate of 1100.000 a year. The
same records show that at this time ebout
1200,000 a yer more Is being collected than
hait been collected In former years. This
will, not only prevent a further Increase of
the state debt, but will also enable the
administration to decrease the state debt
at the 'ate of $100,000 a year.
The floating debt of the state January 1,
191, J, was 11.748.892.70. and. to this must be
adde.-l as a legacy from the fualonists In
the shape of deficiencies and other claims
amounting to 1182,736.97, making the total
debt at that time $1,331,636.67.
June 1, 1904, the flowing 'debt of the state
was Jl, 982.467.45, showing a net Increase .of
J50.828.78 for the first three years and Ave
months of republican administration. This
reduction in the increase of the state debt
was made In the face of an appropriation
of $017,083 for permanent Improvements
from a total appropriation of $2,875,289 51
made by tho legislature of 1901. Of this
appropriation more than $100,000 was not
used, but lapsed and was turned back Into
the treasury. A like amount. It Is figured,
will be turned back into the general fund
again this year.
Just at this time, while the fusionlsts
are talking of the extravagance of repub
lican legislatures It may be Interesting to
show how much of the appropriations of
tho. last two sessions of the legislature
was for, permanent Improvements. As
taken from the books of the auditor the
items follow:
