EVERY time we are reminded that
the present managers of the cOun-

of the balance of the SSl, 439 06
which has been collected from the
people of Ohio county during that
time in excess of what was collected
in the seven years proceeding that?
1t has been said that figures do not
lie. Follow them then and see what
they show. From 1890 to 1896 in
elusive, when John p. Morton was
County Judge, and the only period in
the history Of the county when the
Republican party has been in even
partial control of the county's fiscal
affairs. there was collected SLAB. 394.-
80 as county revenue. while from
1897 TO 1904. inclusive, during Jas.
2. Miller's term of Office there has
been collected as county revenue
1924 ,SS3.7l Just SSl ,439. 06 more than
during Morton's term. They say
they have paid off $500 debts.

do not, what have they done with
the $50, 1906 which they should
have left out Of the extra amount
