These liabilities show that when the
fusionists went into Office in 1896, they
inherited from the preceding republic
can administration liability in the
sum of $2,4s2,O1S.63. Two years later
these liabilities were reduced to ST.
729,61347
The November 30. 1900, report shows
this slightly increased again to $1,782,-
1851, which figure represents the leg
acy of liabilities turned over by the
fusionists to the incoming republican
administration, as against an inheri-
lance by the fusionists from the re-
publicans in 1896 of $2.482,01S63
This inheritance of the republicans
from the fusionists had again been in
creased by the "redeemers'' in 1902 to
the sum of $2,005 ,639.S1.
On June 1 of the present year this
sum of liabilities had mounted to the
enormous sum of $2173 ,521.57

an increase of $24,775.60 for that coun-
ty?
And SO we might run down almost
the entire list of counties, finding
generally the same results.
If all these republican statements be
true, surely the pocketbooks OF the
people after they have paid their taxes,
in addition to the record, ought to
show it. Whether such can be shown
or not, let those who have walked up
to the treasurer's window with their
contributions to the fund tell from
their own experience. The people who
have stepped up to the window have
their receipts for tax payments. These
receipts ought to speak more eloquent
Iy than cooked statistics. And then
let the people who have bought mer-
chandise consider the increased cost OF
living, which is largely due to the
shifting of this burden of taxation
onto the shoulders of the consumers,
who in the end pay all taxes.
Let us see something about this.
The liabilities of the state of Me-
braska ought to indicate somewhat
whether the people of this state have
been burdened or not. Here is a table
of such liabilities compiled from the
reports of the state auditor, for the
years indicated and upon the several

Ole Cost Of Redemption"

Why have they allowed the levies for
the payment of state expenses to lag
behind the appropriations in the sum
OF almost million dollars?
In short, if these "redeemers" have
saved so much money for the people
of this state, where is it? Where is it
concealed? The people would like to
know.
If the "redeemers" have been econ
omical in state government, that fact,
if fact it be, ought to appear. II it
can be shown. then why is it that the
levies of taxes against the several
counties of the state for state purposes
SO enormously increased during the
past four years over the preceding four
years?
If such a thing be true, why, for in
stance, has the state levy against Otoe
county increased from $127,46465 un-
der the last four years of fusion, to
$152, 945.09 under the administration
of the ''redeemers' for the same period
of time? Why this increase Of the
burden of taxation against the peo-
pie of that county in the sum of $685.

ulists and democrats, is pledged TO a
reversal of this policy OF extravaganza.
These men, every one Of them, are
pledged, while their opponents are not
so pledged. Will you trust the I'M
pledged in preference to the pledged?
Even though all these candidates OF
the "redeemers' were otherwise equal
in all things, they have made no speci-
fic pledges OF retrenchment, no promise
of relief from these burdens. If they
intended to afford the people any re-
lief at all they would not hesitate to
pledge it. They have not pledged it.
If they are unwilling to come out into
the open, acknowledge this extrava-
gance, and pledge the people of this
state some definite relief from the
burdens of taxation under which they
now groan. then the people Of this
state should assert their prerogative
and drive them from places where
they have betrayed the confidence of

Driven to extremity by the rising
of the people of this state against ex-
travagance in public Office, against
railroad favoritism, against tax bur-
dens and ubiquitous revenue laws, the
republican press has undertaken to be-
dim the vision OF the voters by an
array of figures ponderous and ap-
palling. In these figures it attempts
to show that the people of this state
have been saved thousands upon thou
sands of dollars by the four years
rule of the "redeemers." That is what
appears upon the surface OF these fig
ures. Between the lines and beneath
the surface, however, the attempt is to
befuddle the voters of the state by
pOnderousness.
Ii the "redeemers" of the past four
years have saved money for the peo-
pie of Nebraska, why have appropria-
tons during the past four years ex-
ceeded the appropriations of the pre-
ceding fusion four years appropria-
lions to the tune of 81 ,68S, 1921?
If these "redeemers" have been
economical in state affairs, why is
there deficit to be met?
Ii these "redeemers" have been cour-
ageous in their conduct of public af-
fairs, why have they failed to make
leyies sufficient to pay the running
expenses of the state administration :!

to sum almost equal to the sum in
herited by the fusionists in 1896, after
exposures of thefts of state funds DUR
ing those preceding years, So the gain
made by the fusionists is lost, or near
ly so, by the four years OF "redemp-
tion." At this rate where will be the
ending? If such record is a record
of economy, then where will we~ find
extravaganza? II black means white,
then will the spellbinders of the ire
