tionment of stale tax for the
present year is but u fraction "a
bove three and one half times
that of 1868. Indeed, with the
exceptions Of 1888 and 1888, the
per cent OF state taxation seems
to have remained remarkably
steady. Aside from those two
years, the table shows three
higher years and three lower
years than in 1903, the highest
being ia 1873.
1t saould not be forgotten
that since 1868 Michigan has
added largely to her state insti-
tutions that have to be support
ed by taxation We wonder
which one of them our democrat
ic friends would have biotted out
on the score Of economy?
In 1868, the state public instl-
tutions were the University, Ag-
ricultural college, State Normal
school at Ypsilanti, School for
the deaf, Industrial school for
boys-then called the Reform
school Kalamazoo asylum and
the Jackson State prison.
Since 1868 there have been
added to the list the Central Nor
NAL at Mt. Pleasant, Northern
Normal at Marquette, Western
Nor NAL at Kalamazoo, College
of Mines at Houghton, School
for the blind at Lansing, Mich
igan & nploym INT institution for

House or Correction at Marquette,
Michigan Reformatory at Ionia,
and the State Public school at
Coldwater, besides improving
and charging all the previously
existing public institutions, aud
all built, enlarged and supported
out of the state tax 1t doeSn t
appear as though there was much
foundation for the great demo-
cratic hue and cry of extrava-
gance and waStefulneSs in
the management of the state
government. Now, honestly, Mr..
Voter, does it?
And then, another fact must
not be forgotten, and that is that
from October Z, 1907, to Oc-
tober /, 1908, Van Buren,
county received from the state
the sum of 500, 734 in primary
money, almost two and one-half
times the amount Of the state tax,
at least three quarters of which
is due to the new system of di-
rect taxation of railroads and
other corporations instituted un.
der the administration of Gov.
Fred M. Warner. There isn't a
single township in the county
which has not received from the
state very much more by way of
the primary school fund than it
paid into the treasury by way of
state taxes, and in nine town
ships aud in the city of South
Haven the primary money was
in excess of the state tax and
county tax combined, and this
owing to, republican Legislation
under republican governor
that makes the railroads and
other corporations pay taxes al
the same rate and on the same
basis as you do, Mr.. Taxpayer.
Anything the matter with this
showing? Are you spelling for
a change? We rather guess not.
