State Warrants

One thing that unfailingly indicates
the general condition of state finances
is the standing that claims against the
state have in the open market. If the
public eagerly seeks these claims fOs'
investment, it indicates general con-
fdence in the financial condition and
management of the state government.
When the public eagerly seeks these
warrants they go to a premium. They
will command in the open market a
price above par, since they are a Sc
cure investment and bear good inter-
est. When the reverse is the case and
the public does not seek investment in
these warrants they will not only not
command premium, but may fall far
below par and be at a discount.
Another point worthy of considera-
ton regarding the value to the people
in having state warrants command a
premium in the open market, lies in
the purchase Of the state of it's i'm
mense supplies. For instance: If a
firm bids on furnishing cny supplies to
the state, it is very likely to accept
state warrants in payment for them
Therefore, if firm realizes that state

fore the enactment of the law. Hence
[ fearlessly charge that this law was
enacted, not in compliance with the
demand on the part o. the people, bul
as direct attempt on the part of those
who had previously been Sinking their
duties to blind the people to the actua
facts
During that. campaign the candidate
OF the democrats and pOpuliStS insisted
that the floating debt of near $4,000, 900
unconstitutionally created, was the di.
rect fruit of the failure on the part OF
the state board Of equalization tc
fairly value the railroad property OF
the state, and that this property should
be compelled to bear that burden, anC
that the same should not be trans,
ferred to the shoulders Of the genera
tax payers of the state, and that If h5
was elected he should attempt to sc
have the property of the state valued
as to gradually wipe out this blot on
it's fair name. The republican candi-
date insisted that he was equally con.
scientious, equally DESTROYS of protect
ing the people as against the encroach.
ments Of the railroads, and that be
too was equally anxious for the wipine
out of this floating debt. Yet, not
withstanding this insistence on his
part, we find that the floating debt un-
der the first biennium of his admins
tration will be increased nearly ono
half million.
1t must be remembered to start with
that the railroad property of the state
is not assessed. and has not been, as
other property, but that a separate and
distinct tribunal has been created fol-
this purpose. consisting Of the rov-
ernor and other state officials That
the complaint for the last five years
or more has been as against this ex-
traordinary tribunal owing to its fail
ure to do its duty as to the property
that came under its special and ex-
elusive jurisdiction. That the campaign
was waged as against this boards dere-
LECTION, and not as against the dere-
LECTION Of the numerous local assessors
The people had complained as against
this special tribunal and against this
favoritism and exclusiveness as to
taxation that this state board had been

In discussing the present revenue
how and for what purpose it was en-
acted. remembering that in the cam
paicn two years ago the issue was not
as to the enactment OF a new law, but
the failure to honesty enforce the old
tt must further be remembered that
neither platform advocated its enact
ment. but that both recognized that
the valuation placed upon the railroads
years ago was not the fair valuation
thereof for the last four or five years.
The pOpuliStS in their platform in
sisted that the assessed valuation
should be raised at least $50, 100000 be-
fore other property was touched in
that regard. The democratic platform
demanded material increase in this
valuation. and the republican platform
recognizing this same situation, de-
manded a raise in the valuation there
of. but not quite 50 definitely. And
thus the campaign was fought out,
each party denying that it intended to
enact new law on the subject, while
the candidate o. the democrats and
populists for governor insisted that If
he was elected he should enforce the
old law as it stood. but warned the
people, if it permitted the republican
party to become successful at the polls,
that in order that they might be blind
ed and misled as to the real raise in
the value Of the railroad property. a
new law would be enacted and by rea-
son thereof all Of the taxes of the peo-
pie OF the state would be raised; and
while the railroad assessment would
necessarily be increased. that the rela-
tive position Of the assessed valuation
Of the property Of the state would not
be changed to the advantage of the
people, but by reason Of the law, the
republican party would be permitted to
go before the people at the next BIZ
sOnial election and proclaim that they
had raised the assessment of the rail-
roads, as they do in this campaign, to
some $27 100000, and therefore, THAI
they had answered the demand of the
people. When I'm truth and in fact, the
railroad valuation is farther out of
comparison to the reel value of the
property assessed now than it was be-

to receive only S94. 1t will therefore
figure the cost Of the goods accord
ingly, ana will furnish only 1874 worth

the other hand IL these warrants to
be used in payment, command a pre-
MUM, then the state will receive as
much over 800 worth Of goods in the
purchase as the premium amounts to
in the open market. When 1T is con-
sidered that the purchase of supplies
for the state amounts to hundreds or
thousands of dollars, then the cOnsid-
GRAFTON to the state in this matter OF
warrants becomes stupendous.
A bit of history upon state warrants
may be of some interest now. In 1896.
when the ''redeemers' of old had sway
in the state of Nebraska, state war
rants were drawing interest at 5 per
cent At the same time they could not
command a market even at par, but
sold for "a to Sc cents on the dollar
a discount of from 4 to q per cent
Soon after the fusionists took control
these warrants not only began to sell
at par, but went to premium of L
per cent. In July, 1899, the rate or
interest On state warrants was reduced
to per cent. Nevertheless, these war
rants continued at a premium of from
one fourth to three fOurths per cent,
and remained so until the Infamous
redemption of 1900. Since the re
deemers'' secured control, and during
the entire period of their. "incUm-
brance," these warrants have not been
at a premium once. They are now
selling at par

1t is to be hoped that the day may
speedily arrive in this state when its
officers may feel that public office
is public trust, and that that trust
should be kept so sacred as to let no
act of him who holds it cast any sus-
picion thereon. At least that he who
holds these high and sacred positions
may SO guard and protect them both
by act and expression as not to poison
the fountain of patriotism in the minds
OF the rising generations.

CoWardly State Officials
Did Not Dare to Follow the Intent of the Leg

During the last session of the Legislature and during
the time the revenue law under consideration

theory that many of the members induced to give

THE REASON WHY.

State taxes this approximately 90 per cent
higher than in the years 1897-S.9.
The county and his deputies have made
most thorough painstaking search for every scrap Of
property owned by the people, that this big increase
in taxation may be placed upon it.
But why should state taxes be much heavier this
year, The question is easily answered 1t is because
the
Republicans Redeemed Nebraska.
Let compare notes. In 1897 Fusion legislature
appropriated $2,335,S4340 to be expended by Fusion
officials in maintaining state government for the two
years ending March 81, 1899. Fusion state officers
carried state government with efficiency those two
years at total cost of s2I6I, 587I7, and paid eff
1854 589.46 of the floating debt
The republican legislature of 1903 appropriated
&c. 1910 to be expended by republican officers in
maintaining state government for the two years ending
March 81, 1906
Fusion state officers in four years cut down the
state debt S677 TO- In the three years of repub

Leap Year Party.

It might more properly have been termed a ball Last evening the beautiful club house of the Woman's Club of Bisbee was brilliantly illum mated, the occasion being a Lear Year party or ball. The rooms of the club were fully occupied by the beauty of the city, and for which Bis. bee is justly noted. The Grand March occurred at nine o'clock, when fully fifty couples took the floor. Soon the entrancing music of the two-step and the divine waltz led the couples of in the whirl of the dance. It may well be imagined that it being a leap year party the charming femininty there represented wore their blandest smiles, and how many young men felt the pricking of Cupid's dart as he re membered the whispered words. which the odd fourth year gave the young ladies permission t0 whisper. they alone know. The affair was one of the most successful of the many for which the Woman's Club is famous.
