You will see by the above figures
that you have been called upon to
pay $63 ,273.46 more taxes on your.
land in Roberts county for t!.e year
1907 than for the year 1916, or
nearly SO per cent more under
reform administration. How do you
like it? Delightful prospect for
1908, isn't it? They were pledged
to administer the affairs OF the COM
monwealth economically. Have they
done so?
Since the army of political office
holders commenced feasting at the
public crib, since the reform"
administration has conducted state
affairs, every tax payer in the state
knows his taxes have increased by
leaps and bounds. Isn't it COM
pliment to your judgment to have
the administration politicians, the
great bulk of them taxpayers,
inform you you are not paying any
! taxes?

Aberdeen News: Insurgent Office
holders deserted the capital two nights
ago and gathered at Huron TO confer
with Alex johnson, the Northwestern

agined what transpired, the plans that
were laid to crush the hopes of the fool
ish candidates for Office who have not
been o. K'd by the machine, and to
work to the limit tie influence con-
trolled by state employees. The machine
needs constant repairing by the rail
roads and the Northwestern, through
it's political agent, is ever ready to do
the work.

HOW ABOUT THIS?

By vote of so to 80 the reform
legislature defeated the Bratrud bill
providing that interest on state funds
should go to the state, AS result of
the defeat of this bill, the, state oses
about $4,000 during Mr.. Crawford S
term on interest. This is one part of
the record that Mr.. Crawford does no.
refer to in his speeches. Representative
