Those Assessments

The favorite falsehood OF the Anti
Crawford press is that while he was a
member Of the board of equalization
railroad assessments were lowered.
From 1893 to 1896, during the time he
was attorney general, railroads were
assessed:
~1S93-$232, 4S1 %
1891 229, 56S.57
1896 $50, 1906
1886 239, $685.
These figures are from the report Of
the state auditor and should be on
elusive. Assessments on farm lands
showed a reduction. The auditors
report showed the following assessed
valuation per acre:
1S93-$4.S9
1891 4.46
1886 4.46
1886 4.32
A difference of 81 cents per acre
from 1893 to 1896. The more the
machine delves into Mr.. Crawford's
acts as a public servant the stronger
he appears. Every one of their false
hoods has recoiled upon themselves,
but with the desperation Of despair
they continue to reiterate them. "Tell
the truth is not in their vocabulary.
