The election wont be settled in Colo
RADIO for some time yet. The supreme
court of that state has ordered that al
ballot boxes in the city and county Of
Denver be opened and the ballots
counted. This order was based upon the
evidences of fraud unearthed by a putia
examination of the votes of certain pre-
ciucts and wards. The Republicans claim
that wholesale frauds have been com.
mitted and that recount Of the ballots
in Denver city and county will wipe oul
the ten thousand majority that Alvah

In commenting last week upon the in
crease in the State tax levy for 1905,
from One-half Of one mill levied for 1904,
TO one and One-half mills for 1906 an
increase Of 200 per cent-we made a
brief comparison Of the cost of main
tanning the State government for the
years 1894 and 1904, respectively. We
now present another comparison be-
tween the year 1899. the last year Of
the second administration Of Governor
Bloxham, and 1904, the last year Of the
Jennings administration. The table
which follows will explain itself:

A typical Illustration of the almost
universal prevalence Of graft and dis
honesty in public places is the alleged
condition existing in the government
printing Office at Washington, concern
ing which a recent letter from the cap
ital says:
1T is now assured that when the
committee does get to work it will find
enough TO occupy it's attention for quite
a time. 1t will be face TO face with the
increase Of the governments expendi-
1893 TO 81, 200, 900 at the present time.
printing bill has alarmed many OF the
leaders in congress in view of the de-
felt Of the treasury and the recon-
mendation of the public printer that
the government printing office be en-
larged by replacing the old building at
the corner of North Capital and n.
streets with modern seven story build
ing to correspond in general style with
the newly Quilt part Of the Office.
Here in Florida, too, the increase in
expenditures for public printing during
the Jennings regime, as compared with
1894, ten years previous, was so per
cent; while the increase as compared
with 1899, only Eve years previous, was
IL2 per cent?
Is it not high time for something -
be done ? The Legislature Of 1905 ",
advised, in effect, of these conditiC IS,
but seemed indisposed to disturb them.

fact should be kept in full view that

We do not care To call especial atten-
ton 10 any particular item every reader
can easily reach his own conclusions
from a careful study Of the table; but

Comptroller Reynolds for the year 1899
few extracts going to show the fnan-
cial conditions with which he had had to
deal, in contrast with the conditions
prevailing during the succeeding admin
istratiOn.
lowing to the increased expenditures
on the part Of the State necessitated by
the provisions of the Constitution Of
1885, which went into effect January / ,
1897, and the fact that no provision had
been made therefor in the tax lcvies,
it became necessary to borrow
money to meet the actual demands on
the treasury" The amount borrowed
Gin 1891 was 5000, 900. One-half Of
this had been paid before March /. 1899,
and, says Mr.. Reynolds, provision has
been made without "a special tax levy"
to pay the balance. And II was paid
accordingly. Notwithstanding this ex-
traordinary demand upon the resources
Of the State. the Comptroller states
that 1.-The tax rate for the year 1900 .
can be- reduced to two and one
half mills" And he adds: This has
been accomplished by an economical ad.
ministration Of the affairs Of the State,
and an adherence to the only true eco
monte governmental doctrine that taxa.
ton should be limited to the actual ne
cCssitics of the government without
creating "a useless surplus. 4"
Comptroller Reynolds, as is well
known, was "A man not only of the most
exalted character for integrity. but was
one who. before accepting public Office.
had achieved marked success in his
private business, founded upon the most
meagre Of personal fortunes. His ex-
ample and public career was one Of the
most pleasing and memorable features
Of Florida's official history, and his pub
lie services will long be remembered as
"A shining example Of civic worth and
splendid official achievement.
The enormous percentages Of increase
in public expenditure shown by the
foregoing table challenge the attention
of every citizen and taxpayer in Flor
ida. They show, beyond the shadow Of
doubt. the absolute necessity for a
period Of rigid retrenchment in the
public service. and indicate unerringly
the points at which such retrenchment
should begin.
