famous deficiency tax which is levied
without authority of law. There will
be no relief for tho tax payers if the
present supreme court is kept in power,
because it is the court of last resort and
it has no sympathy for the people.
The runoing expenses Of the state
offices for 1893 was increased $1,000
over the running expenses for 1892.
Clerks must shine YOU know.
The increase in appropriations for
state institutions for 1893 is s62,30S over
the appropriations for 1892. Republican
extravaganza. Auditor Nipple did not
give these figures.
The state appropriated $4,000 for leg
~;slatiye printing each session, hut a de-
ticiency was made for nearly $4,000 for
1891, and a like amount was taken from
the pockets of the tax payers for 1893.
These deficiencies should not exist, they
cannot exist honestly. Public printers
are public robbers il YOU give them a
chance.
The state militia gets $4,000 a year,
and for what purpose nobody seems to
know. It's no good only for officers
uniforms.
The school of mines got s1O,925 for
1888. This school is only a plumber spot
for the Hills.
The soldiers home gets $4,000 more
for 1888 than 1t did for 1892. No Visible
Increase OF inmates.
Tho YermilliGn university gets $4,000
more for 1883 than it did for 1892, and
then puts i'll a deficiency bill for fuel
which is sometimes sold to the attaches
and no returns made.
The Sioux Falls pen got $32,366 for
1888, over $1,000 for 1892, and $1,000
more than is honestly required. The
warden is a political boss.
The state fair had a deficiency for 1892
S3,566 and it had also an appropriation
of $4,000. Here goes the peoples money
for state fair eXtravagances.
The insane asylum got s65,6O0 for 1892
and $4,000 for 1888. This is a modest
raise, but officials must live high, if the
insane are neglected.
State Auditor Nipple may be able to
tell an anxious public why it requires
$1,000 more to run his Office for 1898 than
it did for 1892. Some of the defciency's
tax goes right into Nipples hands, with
all his talk about honesty.
The Madison normal school had $4,000
for 1892, and gets $4,000 for 1898. Gen.
Beadle was good ut figures when he was
surveyor general. He could knock out
his deputy surveyors and then howl loud
er in church than any m there. Bead
lie is a canting hypoeritc. The $50 at
the end of the $4,000 is perhaps for
those fine cigars he smoked at Bismarck.
1t makes 10 difference to the gang. The
people be id.
The ruined agricultural college at
Bookings got $4,000 for 1892, hut Nc
Louth and his wreckers got &11,3o0 Tor
1893. No wonder a deficiency tax is
needed, when such an institution as that
can get $1,000 more than they actually
need. The government gives the insti-
tuition more money than is actually
needed to run it, but Sheldon and his
pets must live decently.
The Spearish normal school, a neces-
sary institution for the Hills country
walks away with nearly 5000 more for
1888 than the Homestake attorneys had
cheek to ask for 1892.
State Auditor Nipple only gets s.. 200
for clerk hire in his office for two years.
This ought to pay clerk hire for the en-
tire official outfit. Then he has $4,000
for incidental expenses, and the auditor
himself gets $4,000 for salary. Here goes
$4,000 into this embelishnent of ex-
travagance. Nipple claimed before the
republican convention that the Dutch"
must get something, and it seems that it
takes considerable to keep the Dutch" in
line; 7x9 editors strut awfully when they
get into office.
Even the deaf-mutes talked $4,000 for
1893. The few deaf-mutes are fine work
ers when it comes to helping the bosses.
Even Tom Ruth. the new militia col
onel and commissioner of school lands,
comes in for fat a raise for the running
expenses Of his Office, where he must
keep three or four clerks looming out the
state school money. fer in 1892 he got
sS,4S0, and for 1884 gets sl2,6s7,5O.
He added the so cents to make people be-
lleve he figured ont the expenses. He
may claim that this additional cost in
running his Office was required to stiffen
his confidence in counties which wanted
to borrow school money, and he will
probably want q deficiency at the next
session of the legislature for extra clerks
whom lie employed 10 help loan ont &iG0,-
o30 Of school money which nobody vas
able to get. Tom is one of the fellows
who can pat his evidence OF high living
and eXc!aim: "tho people be id, look at
me, Pm Il Colonel with a big C, but the
title cost more than it did Gallo of Can
ton"
Even the supreme court is putting OIL
airs; $500 run that institution for 1892,
but it takes $500 for 1888.
The Honorable Coo Isaac, the distin-
guished singer who fills the attorney
generals Office, gets $3.50 more a year
for Office expenses than the modest Dol
lard got, but Dollard couldn't sing like
Crawford.
The timekeeper of the Homestake mine
gets $1,000 for being mine in inspector
Another steal.
The railroad commissioners, who do
no work, one OF them keeps a railroad
eating house and is a railroad employee,
gets $500 a wear.
There is enough in sight to satisfy any
sensible. honest man that the state ex-
penses for 1893, which have been fraud
ulcntly piled up, exceeds 100000. The
