opportunities of riches abound

no sentimental sympathy stron"
enough to overcome the inherent
right of free mankind that the
voice Of the ma jority shall he heard

Boer to say to the foreigners, if

Where the EngliSh-speaking pco-

great power it is had it kept the

EACH year when the Missouri
taxpayer gets his tax receipt he
sees thereon one item. so much for
the State Interest Fund. The tax
payer. Of course. concludes that
this revenue is being raised for and
devoted to the payment of the in
tercst on the state bonds and the
liquidation of the debt. and such i
the clear intent of the law under
which this tax is levied. Bat the
reports issued by the State Treas
urer from time to time indicate
that a large portion of the interest
fund IN annually diverted into the
general revenue fund, to he sqr'an-
dered by the party in power i'll the
state in ways the people who bear
the burden wot not OF. Gov.
Stephens frankly confessed that
while was state treasurer, he viola
ted the law by divcrling the inter
est fund to the revenue fund. and
stated that the same thing was
done by his predecessors in the
treasurer office. The recent re
port issued by State Treasurer
Pitts shows that there were months
when not one cent was credited to
the interest fund account, yet large
amounts were credited tn other ac-
counts. Every taxpayer knows
that when he pays his state taxes
he pays them all at one time, and
not that collected on ClIc account
at one time and on anothor account
at another time. 1t is therefore
very remarkable. indeed, that Ger
tain state funds should be credited
with large sums. while the Interest
| fund received nothing at all. That
the revenue collected on the inter
est account was diverted is cleal
beyond dispute. Under Demo
| cratic management. so ''caref'l anc
economical" the general revenu,
of the State is no longer sufficient
to meet the drain upon it, and
rather than acknowledge the fact.
the party in power has illegally dip
ped copiously into the interest
fund to make ends meet. 1t ha:
been proven conclusively by til,
| figures of the State Auditors re-
ports, that if the revenue collected
for state debt purposes had beer
properly applied the debt wonI'
have been discharged eight year;
