DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN TAX
ALTON CONTRASTED. A
What 1t Will Cost Taxpayers to
Transfer Vanderburgh County to
the Democracy. s-sass.s--zszza--.-=.-

~ . Z -
WE have heard much from the De
mocracy of1Vanderhurgh during the
past few days of the high rate of tax
alton to which the people "of' this
county are subjected. They repeat
the charges which have appeared il
the Evansville Courier, and say that
it is all owing to the extortion and
fraud of the Republican, County
officials, who have !" plundered the
treasury And with vast amount
of high sounding indignation at the
wrongs which have been perpetrated
upon taxpayers, they appeal to the
voters at the Election on Tuesday
next, to take the administration of
county affairs out of the hands of, Re
publican officials, and entrust them
to the Democracy This is Che cry
which is now being rung, with all its
changes, in the ears of the people of
Vanderburgh County. Z KfAIfI
Before this is done, it would be we'll
to examine the matter a little more
freely Let us inquire what twill
cost tax payers to transfer this county
to the management, of the DEMOCRACY
Let US see what that party means by
9 lou tones.'' 5lTqiI13
In order to determine how the
Democracy would manage the finan-
ces of Vanderburgh County, if they
had the controIof affairs, we should
look to the counties in other parts
Of the State, where that party has
had the complete ascendency, and see
the result OF county taxation. Van
derburgh is one Of the most populous
counties in the State, and it should
justly be leontrasted with large Demo
cratic counties. Let us examine the
following table taken from the report
of the State Auditor for 1866. All the
counties except Vanderburgh are
strongly Democratic. ssf ef,s.4.t'

strongly Democratic

But the Democracy will claim that
we have not made fair selection
of counties. We claim that the
counties cited are fair specimens of
Democratic taxation, and an examin-
alton of the Auditors report will
prove it. Some months ago we pub
lished a table of thirteen of the lead
ing Democratic counties in the State,
and twenty Of the most populous Re-
publican counties, embracing the
cities where valuation is the highest
with the following result:
No; Voters: Loeel Iaxes. Per Voter.

The Special School tax, which is
levied by the different counties is not
properly part Of the current county
expenses, as it is used for building
school houses and other school ex
penses. In these counties we make
the following comparison: 4iat

So it appears one of the principal
items of taxation in the. Republican
counties is for the support of schools,
that enemy of unadulterated Democ-
racy. IF we deduct the school taxes
from the table, we have the following
marked contrast:

Is it to such feast as this the De-
mocracy are inviting the tax payers of
Vanderburgh County at the election
on Tuesday next? .71 ga
But it may be objected that we do
not make a fair comparison. We
have taken the more populous coun-s
ties of each political party; and We
defy any one to show from the State
Auditors report that the exhibit is
not an equitable one. But in or
der that the comparison may be con-
vincing to all, let US contrast Wander,

= DUBOIS AND YANDERBuRGH.- --
& We have given comparison of the
taxation of Vanderburgh and every
other County in the First District
which gave q Democratic majority at
the last election, except Daviess, and
that has for ten years past been so
eyenly divided that neither party can
claim it. But there is one County, for
50 many years attached to this District,
whose political. status is by no means
doubtful. If there is one locality
outside Of Kentucky which may be
called consecrated ground" by the
Democracy, that spot is Dubois Coun-E
ty, which for the past ten years (for a
generation, for aught we know has
given solid Democratic majority of
1890 or 1900, out of vote. cast Of
about 1000, This certainly ought to
be the spot to which the Wander
burgh Democracy could point with
glowing pride as the Eden of "loo
