Of reasoning along this line Is by no

Stories had been told which brought
about clash between the Indian and
a white man. The two men originally
had nothing against each other. The
Indian had a bad reputation-that Is

who would fight a buzzsaw Mt the drop

into the section had In some way
gained similar reputation He was
said to be a dangerous character and q
man who had never been whipped. We
concluded that we would have soma

again and told him the desperate white
man was after his scalp. He smiled
and shook his head.
a few days later we were talking
to the white man when the Indian
came up to join the group. he had
spotted the stranger and knew him by

Senator Fred Smith says regarding the
He'll or Harmony argument: sin the re.
cent squlbble over who IS responsible for
the increased appropriations, for a raise
0fYaluati0n and taxes, both sides have
utterly lest sight OF The real condition in
their eagerness to injnre each other and
in that eagerness have injured the party
by making it appear that the Legislature
was unduly txtrayagant IN every way
and the party will be held responsible.
"The fact is, every member of that
Legislature who knew anything about
what was going on knows that 1t appro.
prlated considerably moIe than the Leg.
isIatnre Of 1901. Towards the close of the
session members of the two committees
on Ways and Means repeatedly stated
that we must cut down on everything
because we bad already appropriated
more money than the previous leglSla-
lures and must begin to put on The
brakes. 1t Is beyond question that both
houses were extIayagant in the matter Of
employees.
"The figures show It concluslyely.
Both houses sinned In that respect, but
outside of that The last Legislature Was
not extmvagant nor wastiul. Not a dol
lar was appropriated except for en-
ployees that WAS not justified by con-
dtions as they appeared.
''ln many instances appropriations
should have been largar rather than
smaller. For many years prior to 1909
the state institutions had been meagerly
maintained. When the republicans went
into power they fonnd not only large
deficiency In almost every fund but they
found all the state buildings in a more
or less ruiuous condition for the want of
timely and necessary repairs. Vast ad-
dl.lons haye been made to the state prop /
erty Ia these institutions, all Of them
haye been pqt and kept IN first class con, 4
ditIsn. The educational Institutions have
been improved 100 per cent, a new asy'
lnm built, just obligations Of the state
long ignored, paid and discharged All
of this has been done with decreasing
assessment Of property, because under
our beautiful tax law, while the state Is
increasing In wealth, 10 population, IN
public necessities the assessment remains
as 1t was or decreased. The state Is tax.
