LIES BY DEMOCRATIC SHEETS

We publish below two clippings, one
from the paper OF the Doodle ex-governor,
E. G. Ross, the other from the Springer
Banner, sheet in the pay of the corrupt
Democratic executive committee:
The Republican admins ration in this
territory notwithstanding it has cut OFT
the revenues for the courts so it is impos-
sible to secure justice, costs the people
nearly 500, 900 more than it did during
the Democratic administration. Then the
rate was mills on the dollar, now it is
S.6-l0 mills.-Springer Banner
"The tax levy of 1889 made by the 2Sth
legislature, was 7 mills on the dollar,
amounting to $345 900. The tax levy for
this year is s mills and six-tenths of a mill
on the dollar, producing $4lS,OO0, with
no increase of taxable property. Those
Who pay this tax will be curious to know
Just here the saving of $l50,000a year
comes in, and if there has been saving,
what becomes of it, and why the tax levy
has been increased by $4,000 at one
jump.-Deming Headlight"
The facts are these: The tax rate for
the year 1890 for territorial purposes was
increased mills on the dollar for the es-
adjustment and maintenance of the fol-
lowing public and much needed institu-
tons, namely the university at Albuquer-
que, the agricultural college at Las Cruces,
the school of mines at Socorro and the
insane asylum at Las vegas.
The expenditure under the corrupt and
thieving district attorneys, judges, clerks
and the Ross gang of ppnitentiary EN-
ployes amounted for the three years OF
the Democratic regime to about 5000
per annum the total expenditure during
the first year of the Republican admins
tration from March 4, 1889, to March 4,
1890, amounted to the sum OF $4,000
the expenses for the present fiscal
year will not exceed the amount
