THE STATES FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

Governor Swanson made another
error, and mcst unfortunate one for
the record of his party. when he said
In his Sussex speech that 1.-THE Demo-
cratic party had taken charge of the
tinancies of the State when theTreasury
was bankrupt; when the State was I'M
able to pay its officials and teachers.
etc.
How wide of the mark, and therefore
how preposterous such a contention is.
will be observed from the following
facts:
Balance in the State Treasury accord
ing to the report of the Auditor when
the Re-adjuster-Republican party took
charge of the finances of the State.
50, S82 Sc. Balance in the State Treas
ury according to the report of the Au-
ditor when the Re-adjuster- Republican
party turned over to the Democratic
party the management of the State
finances 81, 1913, 1856 SO.
Therefore, when the Re-adjuster Re
publican party came into power, it
found an empty treasury; when it went
out, it left surplus of a million, two
hundred thousand dollars.
Not only that. During its brief ad-
ministration, this party. the record of
which Governor Swanson asssils. Re-
duced the State tax rate from so to 40
cents. This reduction of the tax rate
from 80 to 40 cents was enjoyed by the
people of the State from 1882 10 1903.
Il years. 1t was achieved in the brief
period of three or four years under the
Re'adjuster- Republican admins ton.
beginning with bankrupt Democratic
treasury, and closing with the hand
some surplus of over a million dollars.
The reduction OF from 40 to 35 cents
mas been effective only since 1908; and,
while the Governor now parades it as a
great financial achievement, he knows
that 1t was coup resorted to for tbs,
purpose OF quieting the complaints of
the people on account Of the proclama-
ton of the new constitution which the
Democratic party promised to submit to
them for ratification. but as usual, fail
ed to redeem its pledge.
Not only that. When the Readjuster-
Republican party came into power, il
found that under Democratic admins
trations the State was thousands of dol
lars IN arrears TO the asylums for The
insane; the school for the deaf. dumb
and the blind, and other educational in
stituuons, and authority had been given
the auditor TO borrow $500, 600 to paw
these arrearages up to Seplemb r 80.
1873. Be it remembered, these arrear
ages were in addition to the million and
a half dollars diverted from the public
schools under Democratic administra-
tions.

that the salaries of State officials hay.
been increased from sl27. ZIG as in 1895
to 1894 $40 40 in l9Os."
The Governor is mistaken. His DO
political opponents have made no such
criticism. His figures quoted above are
those used blythe News Leader Septenl-
Der 10, thirteen days in advance of the
Governors Sussex speech. and are not
correct according to Mr.. Rents state
ment, taken from the Auditors reports
as follows:
SALARIES OF OFFICERS OF GOVERNMENT
1899, $1O7. 542.2l.
1908, $l1T, 33S. As.
1908, $244, 300. 76.
The Governors statement Of saalries
of 1899 was evidently made up as fol-
lows:
Salaries of officers of Government as
reports by Auditor (l9OS) Sl17, 1888 As.
Salaries of police and employees at
Capitol, Governors mansion and IL
brary, $1O,377.
Making a total of. 1927, 1865
which total should have been stated for
the year 1903, and not 1899, according
to the Auditors reports. Why the
Governor includes salaries of police,
ETC., at capitol, and omits some other
salary items given In the Auditors re-
ports, is not clear. Certain it is, the
Auditor did not embrace these in "Sala-
ries of officers of the Government.
The Governor evidently uses the same
method of arriving al salaries of officers
for the year 1908, as follows:
Salaries of officers of govern
msnt, ss reported by the
AUDITOR. ................. $244, 300. 76
Salaries of police and employ
ees, capitol, Governors
mansion and library. w 20, $50. 73
Total:.::......:.:......$2 64, $40. AZ
Inasmuch as the Governor used the
figures for the year 1903 instead of
those for 1899 in computing the average
yearly increase of salaries, his average
should have been made for the period
o. five years instead of nine. There
fore, even allowing the deductions which
the Governor Incorrectly claims, the ay-
erage yearly increase for the past FIVE
years would be $4460.sS, instead Of
$2478.24.

Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition Rich
IN Attractions of the North and West

from its big northern colony, More
over, a beginning has not yet been
made in developing It's capabilities. In
several ways the country will be bene-
flied by the great exposition at Seattle.
1t will attract thousands of persons
from the East and from the Mississippi
Valley to the Pacific coast between
now and October Is, when the fair
closes. They will pass through a region
particularly rich in resources as well as
highly attractive scenically. On the
Pacific coast they will see a stir
ring towns-Seattle, Tacoma, Portland
and other places-which will figure
largely in the Industrial and social an
mails of the country in the aftertime.
The fair will show the American that
the United States is much larger and
richer than he supposed, and also much
more interesting. Another effect of the
fair will be that it will arouse a public
interest in Alaska which will compel
Congress to enact the legisla& An which
that dependency needs to stimulate the
opening of roads and railways through
it, to facilitate the purchase and rams
fer of property, and to give its people
larger political privileges.

times over. And its fish, furs, lumber
