Shaftsburg, October Il


Coy. Luce addressed large gathering at
Hastings few days ago. From the sum
mary given in the Banner we take the fol-
lowing:
The speaker commenced at first with the
history of this state under republican rule.
And right here we will say that probably no
man in Michigan is better acquainted with
the political history of his state. than is the
old Governor. He was member of the
first legislature and has been interested in
state affairs ever since. This being the case
he was well prepared to refute the misstate-
ments Gov. Winans is making around the
state as to the expenditures of the last two
years.
The old governor dwelt especially at the
outset upon how the republicans had built
all of the great educational, penal and chart
table institutions of the state, besides the
great state capitol at Lansing without SO
much as as a murmur of corruption, charg-
ed against them. While continually build
ing these noble institutions, of course taxes
were necessarily higher, but no man with a
soul as big as a pea would want to see one
of them wiped out. The democratic preten-
sions to reform and low taxes were COM
pletely riddled by the Ex-Governor, who had
the statistics on table by the side of him,
and which he challenged any one to deny,
showing how the last two years of Coy.
Winans had cost the people of the state in
taxes more than $685. 900 than under the
last two years of Gov. Luce. The last year
under Gov. Winans will cost the people
more than $l55,000, more than the cores
pOnding year under Gov. Luce's admins
tration, in fact more than any correspond
ing year i'm the history OF the state, with
one exception. All of this expense comes at
a time when no state institutions are being
built What would the tax be If the state
was paying for some new state buildings?
All of the state institutions are badly
managed. The Ionia prison is costing the
people so per cent. more to run it than it
did; the institution at Marquette 40 per cent
more. Great mismanagement prevails at
Jackson prison, and while run nearly 10 per
cent. cheaper the management is very bad
and nearly as many murders take place
within the prison walls, as on the outside.
