Some years ago Republican news
paper was established in his county,
but the proprietor was not able to
maintain it. In order to keep a Re-
publican organ in his county, Mr.. Self
purchased it, and, though knowing
nothing about the practical work of
plant of that character, with his in
come from the plant and his legal pro-
fession, he has ever since been able
to keep the newspaper alive to battle
for Republican principles. AS result
Democratic majority has faded from
700 to ITS Mr.. Self has held office but
once. In 1894 he was elected a state
senator by over 900 majority, in a
district hitherto Democratic by 700.
He was not candidate for reelection.
He has served as precinct committee
man, county secretary and chairman,
and was eight years member of the
Republican state central committee,
having retired at the last organiza-
ton of the state committee.
Mr.. Self is regarded as a good or

expurgated accounts of the convention
give no suggestion of the despotic

TAX RATE HAS BEEN LOWERED.
Chairman of the Democratic State
Convention Deals in Historical
Romance.

The Hon. Alonzo Greene Smith was
chosen chairman of the recent Demo
cratic state convention primarily on
his reputation as a gentleman capable
of pushing his program through regard
less, and delivering az address was
only secondary consideration.
Hence it is not surprising that
his extended comments on state
issues are in considerable part
to be classified as romantic fiction
rather than as a contribution to i'm
partial history One of Mr.. Smiths
suggestions was that the Republican
party was responsible for the heaping
up of the state debt to the nine million
dollar point during a period of Demo
cratic control in Indiana because for
most of that time, forsooth, they held
'the balance of power" in the legisla-
ture, and that they were entitled to no
credit for paying the state DEBT be-
cause the state is now collecting it's
revenues under a law enacted by a
Democratic legislature, Mr.. Smith
also gave forth the inference that the
state debt had been diminished only
to the extent of the revenues derived
from the debt sinking fund, an oft
repeated assertion entirely at variance
with the facts Mr. Smith, who as
attorney general derived from his Of
flee an income fully four times as
great as that paid by the state to eth
er of his Republican successors, and
who naturally feels an interest in the
tax-paying public, also alleged that the
Republicans had increased the tax
rate" Now as to the facts: The
Democratic legislature of 1891 imposed
the highest tax the state has paid since
1887. being total of 81, cents on each
500 and s100 for each poll for the
state. In 1898 Democratic legisla-
ture imposed levy for that year of
341a cents on the s100, and for 1894
levy of SO % cents on the 800. In
1895 Republican legislature reduced
the levy to so 1-6 cents on the 800 for
that year and made further reduction
for 1896 to 20 % cents. The 1896 rate
continued until 1903, when a Republi-
can legislature increased the rate to
30% cents On the 800, and which in
crease also applies to 1904 taxes. This
increase was added for the benefit of
the states educational institutions, the
University at Bloomington, Purdue at
Lafayette and the State Normal at
Terre Haute. and was made necessary
by the large increase of attendance at
these institutions and to provide addi-
tional accommodations there. The tax
rate is 121a per cent lower than during
the period when Mr.. Greene Smith and
his colleagues were in control of state
affairs, and yet the gentleman tells
the Democratic state convention that
the Republicans have raised the tax
rate!
