FACTS AND FIGURES

In the local columns today the AP-
PEAL prints the figures of the last
five years of Silver and Democratic
rule in the State as compared with
the cost Of running the State govern
ment during the last FIVE years of Re-
publican rule in Nevada.
1t is hardly modest for political
party to brag Of the fact that it has
obeyed the law and conducted its
business on behalf of the people with
economy and thrift, as man should
conduct his private business.
There would be no occasion for
these figures did not partisan press
continue to charge fraud, corruption
and extravaganza upon the party
which for nearly six years past has
directed the government Of this State.
These igures, compiled from the
books of the State, and always open
to inspection, are printed in answer
to these reckless and unwarranted
charges made over and over again by
men who will not take the trouble to
inspect the records
The only department where the
Silver party does not show a decided
saving is the matter of public insti-
tutious. 1t has cut and slashed the
salaries of its officials and spent a
portion Of the money saved in foster.
ing and maintaining its educational
institutions, and these institutions
are standing today as a monument te
the party's fidelity to the cause o
education in this State.
Where the Republican party wasted
the taxpayers money in rewardine
party services, the Silvermen, whose
officials were men belonging to The
Silver and Democratic parties, have
run the State on sufficiently les!
money to complete and equip tn
State University at Reno.
In the matter Of county govern
ments, the same careful economy ha
been maintained and every county il
Nevada, with possibly one exception
since it was delivered from Republi
can rule. has fourished financial
and accumulated money in its trea:
ury.
Do the taxpayers of Nevada war
the old regime of corruption and e,
travagance to return? They ca
easily answer the question at Il
polls in November.
