KANSAS, ILLINOIS AND OHIO.
Consistency is not of the charms attaching TO
the political career of Ben F. Russell, Republican
nominee for Congress in the Sixteenth District Dur
ing his legislative experience he voted one way and
now is talking the other way.
Though voted for the issuance of certificates of
Indebtedness, he has been condemnng them and
making them an tissue" in his campaign.
Lately he has been hard driven by the memory
of his record that he has taken to discussing the
rates of taxation in various States. In TO
letter Of inquiry sent to Auditor Cole of Kansas Mr..
Russell received some gratuitous information con-
cernirg the Kansas School Fund which is to the point
Says Auditor Cole:
The total State Indebtedness is sss2 oOo all
of which amount, State bonds. is held by
the permanent School Fund of State
and draws cent interest and thus
every dollar of interest paid by the State
goes to support the schools of the State.
And this in Republican Kansas permanent
School Fund in State bonds which interest is paid
by the State for the support of the schools an
ducible debt; looted education fund.- an asset con-
verted into liability.
In Kansas they consider the School Fund safely
invested. They don't harp about the iniquties of a
perpetual tax. Senator Burton, who to the
Republican Convention in Joplin, said nothing about
the dissipated School Fund of his State.
Because the last General Assembly proposed a
constitutional amendment continuing the present
system after the ordinary bonded debt is paid, the
Republicans Immediately began to attack it as bur
den on the taxpayers The proposition was made a
political issue.
Yet Kansas has exactly the same form of invest
ment. Republican Illinois and Republican Ohio have
also adopted the same system. Yet Missouri Re
pubicans condemn the plan little less criminal
than highway robbery.
Perhaps Ben Russell convince himself that he
is consistent in fighting the Missouri School Fund
but he will have difficulty in making others agree that
he is mentally straight
