Cutting Down the State Debt.

Within few weeks a reduction of
s35, 900 has been made in the bonded
debt of Maine. This makes a total re-
duction of S265,o00 during the present
year instead of 100000, as stated a
few DAYS ago in these columns. More
over. there is still a fat surplus in the
State treasury and the State treasurer
is hoping to round up a lot more Of
the outstanding bonds, as he has au-
thority to do under the law. 1t is
probable that the total reduction of
ing 1906 will be very close to 100000,
much larger reduction than has ever
been made in any year in the history of
the state. with the single exception or
1901 This brings the debt of Maine
down to about 81 OOO, 600 and gives it a
financial condition such as very few
states can boast of. Such is the result
of the honest and economical ad-
ministration Of our State finances
which Democratic editors and orators
are now busily lying to the people
about.
With this great record of debt re-
duction it is also to be noted that the
State tax rate is this year but 213
mills. and only once in 45 years, name
" in 1896 when the rate was pa, has
the rate been lower. In 1882, the year
with which our Democratic friends
are fond of drawing comparisons, the
rate was Az mills on the dollar of state
valuation. In 1852 State taxes We're
collected from the towns OF Maine to
the amount of slO55, 1882; in 1906, al
ter "a years of uninterrupted Repup-
lican rule, the amount of State tax mas
hcen reduced to s91S1.4.17. The bond
cd debt of the State as given i'll the
State treasurers' reports was $3,l4399'
in 1882, and 81. 3SO, 600 at the beginning
of this year, since which time it has

"Thousands for fish and game and
nothing for the farmer" is the bitter
cry of Mr. Davis. The official docu-
ments show that $50. 900 more was ex-
pended for agricultural interests in
1904 than in 1SS2. People more plain
spoken than polite might call such
statements as that Of the Democrats
