7 GOVERNORS BOAST is EAPGY
Said His Administration Had Reduced
Debt and Taxes.
RECORDS DO NOT SUPPORT
Examination of Figures in state
Treasurer's office shows Diff
ferent state of Affairs.
(From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Aug. 2--(Special.) 1.-The asser-
ton Of Governor Shallenberger in his
speech at the Grand Island convention that
his democratic administration had wiped
out the state debt, reduced taxes and
placed the state on a cash basis is not
borne out by the records in the office of
the state treasurer.
The records show that the outstanding
warrants against the state were all can
celled by June "a, 1909, six months after
Governor shallenberger was inaugurated
and before one Gene OF eaxes had been
collected under his administration.
January 1, 1909, when the governor took
charge of his office, the outstanding war
rants amounted to t625, 531. ss. These war
rants were paid by money drived from the
tax levy Of 1908,
One Mill Levy Paid Debt.
The greater portion of the state debt was
paid by the proceeds of the 1-mill levy
which was levied under an act Of a re-
publican legislature for the sole purpose
Of taking care Of that state debt. The
records show that October i, 1905, the first
money received under that levy was paid
into the state treasury. on that same
date the outstanding state debt was 81, 234-
1916. From that time to the present date
or until the warrants were all cancelled
there was collected under the 1-mil levy
and paid on the debt a total Of 1906, 5g7. 81.
This left a balance Of $927 O012 which was
paid out OF the general fund, which in
addition paid the current expenses of the
state government.
. The 1-mill levy was made for the wars
1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908. When the State
Board of Equalization met in 1900 which
was few months after the governor had
taken charge of his office tho board con-
eluded it was not necessary to longer
make the 1-mill levy and so it was dis
continued as provided under the law. The
Governor had nothing to do with dropping
Athis levy except. that he was a member
2 of the board which took the action.
General Fund Tax Higher.
In his address at Grand Island and other
places, the governor made the claim thai
his administration had carried out Its
promise to reduce the taxes Of the people
In this statement hh does not square with
the records OF the office of the state treas
urer, for, as amatter of fact. general fun6
taxes have been increased since he became
governors. The general fund levy was in
creased from "A mills In 1908 to "A mills
in 1909. The redemption fund levy of
mill having been abolished because it ha'
served its purpose.
The following table taken from the rec
ords of the state treasurer show the gen
eral fund taxes paid by the people hav
increased each year regardless Of the CLAIM
of the governor:

For several days there has been a story

a platform which straddled this question.
Mr.. Jackson answered when asked If he
intended to withdraw from the fight
"Ihave never so expressed myself While

which perhaps do not suit me as well as
they might, the platform might have been

cluded to. stay here"
several days ago Mr.. Jackson expressed
himself 4as being we'll satisfied with the

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions.
used them in the morning and that
evening. before I put my boy to bed,
l used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be SO much less. I used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same. of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is. now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.

Easily EXPLAINED,

Mr.. Swanson is powerful preach
er, but is never above leavening his
sermons with humor
A good story he tells concerns a
visit once paid to the cottage of one
of his parishioners. 1t was early
spring and for a long time he sat by
the window with the woman's little
girl.
'In looking out" he remarked to the
child, do you notice how bright is
the green of the leaves and grass?'
The little girl nodded
Now tell me why does it appear
so much brighter at this time?" Mr.
Swanson asked.
Coos was the unexpected reply,
mas just washed the window and
you can see out better"

SIiqht misunderstanding.

Mickey's mother visited a young
school teacher on the East side the
other day, says the New York Sun AS
nearly as she could make out from the
mothers splutterings the teacher had
been calling Mickey names that no
lady would use and no dacint mother
would stand for" The teacher thought
hard, but could recollect no time when
she had given way TO an impulse to
call Mickey dreadful names.
Sure but you did, insisted the
mother. 81 don't know what you meant
by 1t, but scurvy elephant is no nice
name to call boy. That's what he
said you called him, scurvy ele-
phant."
"Scurvy elephant No." said the
teacher, in relieved voice 81 didn't
call Mike scurvy elephant. I called
him disturbing element, and reiter-
ate my statement"
Mickeys mother went home partial
ly satisfied, but not quite sure that the
teacher hadn't been calling her names,
too.

BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Conn
pary Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on sound principle, rather
than money, is best illustrated by the re-
production of the following biographical
sketch of Frederick Mayer, founder of the
+. Mayer Boot 4 Shoe Company. repro
duced from an issue of the German
American National Alliance:
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear
ing his name. came to this country from
Niernstein, Hessen Darmstadt, in May,
1851, and immediatel, proceeded to Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin. where he entered the EN-
ploy of Il. Suhm as a journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the new world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1852
year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only German apprenticed arti-
san knows how. Subsequently a stock of
goods was carried and retail business con
Quoted until 1880 when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at wholesale to the
trade.
In 1890 the business was well established,
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
well determined. From that time on the
growth was more rapid. The capacity of
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 1000 pair per day, giving EN-
ployment to an army of people, paying an
nually over six hundred thousand dollars in
wages, and employing sixty-tive statesmen
who travel "a states in the interest OF
Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March l6, 1893,
after building up a large and successful
business. He is succeeded by his sons,
George p Mayer, Fred J. Mayer and Adam
j. Mayer, who. by rigidly maintaining the
policy of the founder. have succeeded in
bringing the business up to its present
magnitude, where it stands as a monument
of German thrift and industry.

BUTTER AND BUTTER SUB
STITUIES


The great majority Of people eat
butter and much prefer 1t to any Of
the substitutes which have been put
upon the market. However, a great
many people must use a substitute on
account OF the high prices which pre-
vail during certain months of the year.
Oleomargarine Is the most common
substitute for butter and millions of
pounds Of this product are consumed
each year. The difference in cost of
production between oleomargarine and
butter is so great that when butter IS
1etailed at forty cents per pound,
oleomargarine may be retailed at
twenty cents per pound at as great a
profit to the dealers.
The person VINO chooses to purchase
the substitute should be allowed to do
so and he should be required to pay
only the price of the substitute. The
difference in price between the genuine
product and the substitute IS SO great
that dealers are tempted to sell the
latter for the former. Only by requlr-
ing that the consumers may ditteren-
tiate between the two articles can
there be honest traffic in the substitute.
This was contemplated by Congress
when the present internal revenue tau
of ten cents per pound was levied upon
'arti6cially colored oleomargarine. -
Many people think that all olso
margarine IS taxed ten cents pc,
pound. This is not fact. oleo'

distinguish it from butter is the only
oleomargarlne that is thus taxed.
When it is put upon the market in its

It IS only when the product is made
to look like butter SO that it may be
fraudulently sold as butter that a

The imposition Of the tax is not t.
