Must Paw the Fiddler.

Auditor Seibert, Secretary OF State
Leseuer and Treasurer Pitts appeared
before the Ways and Means committee
of our legislature recently and called the
committees attention to the fact that a
little matter OF q 100000 deficit was
staring the Democratic state machine in
the face. and that the treasury vaults
were about in the shape of collapsed
beef bladder. Unless relief is Immediately
provided for Missouris state warrants
they will be stamped mot paid for want
Of funds, 'and they will be hawked about
and grabbed up 10y the curb stone
brokers at discount, because of "a hank
rupt treasury.
This committee has suggested several
ways for making good this deficit.
First: to increase taxation by raising
the valuation of property, ,..or 10 rob the
school fund by reducing the per capita
would result in a loss TO the schools OF
Holt county of about 81 900. Both plans
are sufficiently reprehensible. but as the
latter is best calculated To prevent en-
lightenment and perpetuate ignorance il
will probably be adopted, il being motor
ious that education and enlightment are
as fatal to Democracy as water is To fire.
Another plan is to take sl00 from the
county saloon license and add that
amount to the state. Also that every
drug store handling liquors shall pay an
annual license of Sd.
The governor thinks it would be u
good scheme TO tax every voter 81, and
another scheme is TO take away from the
counties their share of the foreign inSur
ance tax.
\ caucus of the Democratic members
of both the house and senate resulted in
agreeing upon bill that will rob the
counties of one half of their share of the
saloon license: and also to make the
druggists put up Sd license and to
rob the counties of their share Of the
foreign insurance tax.
Thus do the eloquent arguments &C
cumulate which should, and Will event
ually, convince the voters 81 Missouri
that change is imperative: that they
should not and cannot, in good con
science, longer adhere to party whose
chief aim and ambition is to plund"r the
public treasury.
