Some Facts.
(Lewlston Journal

The expenditures of Maine in 1910
will be about S2,500,000 more than in
1882.
But-in 1910, Maine will pay back to
towns and cities for common schools,
academies, high schools and other edu
cational purposes about S1,500,000 more
than In 1882. This should be deducted
from state expenditures; for the state
does not expend it; towns and cities
expend it. The state simply collects it.
Therefore-state expenditures have
increased only 81, 10000 in 2S years.
Moreover-the state now helps towns
and cities by tho sum of about s275, 900
in 1910, for good roads. Towns and
cities spend this. II is not really a
state expenditure, for the state gets
this money from foreign corporations,
railroads owned in Boston and New
Haven and turns the money over to the
towns TO spend on their own roads.
Therefore-the increase in state ex-
penditures since 1882, is only about
s625, 900.
Further-the state now aids hospitals
and homes, orphan asylums and other
philanthropies about $500, 900 more than
in 1882. Towns and cities get this; for
1t lessons poverty, suffering and want.
Therefore-this reduces actual in
crease in state expenditures to about
1926, 900, in % years.
In 1882, the towns and cities were sup
porting their own feeble-minded and
their insane-poor. If the state takes
this over, thus relieving the town and
city, does any fair-minded voter dare say
that this increases the burden of any
man? Does it matter to your pocketbook,
Mr.. Taxpayer, whether your town pays
to care for the insane or whether the
state pays il? The money is the same in
either case. Now, in 1882, the cost OF
these insane state beneficiaries was
$4,000. In 1909 they were Sis, 900 or
SIS, 900 more. Some of this was an in
crease of number. More of it was in re-
lief of towns and cities.
MISUNDERSTANDING this, the actual
increase in state expenditures dwindles
to about s250,000 in rs years.
Those are facts.
When q Democrat stands up and tells
you that state expenditures have in
creased s2,500,0O0 you tell him it is
false. 1t isn't more than one-tenth of
tnat. ue STATE DdS Simply become
more and more the banker and the col
lector from towns and cities, turning
back to them money collected from
sources that formerly escaped taxation
money that went to build colossal
fortunes for railroad owners, trusts and
corporations, wild-land owners in other
states.
This money is collected to be spent
for this generatiou-for you, while you
live. 1t is wise, sensible, beneficent
policy. Ii Is not wasted. 1t Is not
stolen. There is no graft in it. Even
the democracy says "Gov. Fernald is
honest to the core. He Is fair-minded;
he is square as q brick"
We go further and say that he is a
progressive demonstrating for big
policies and believing in the big future
Of Maine.
Will you not vote for this man-one
Of the best governors any New England
state has ever had.

GAY GLORY CALLED;
MAYOR PROVES GAME
Burlesque Company Singer Makes
Bluff and G. w. McCaskrin
Stands Pat.

Mayor George w. McCaskrin of
Rock Island was the hero in a little
side play incident to the perform
ance of ''The Gay Morning Glories, -
company of burlesquers, at the
Moline theatre last evening. The
mayor and a party of friends occu.
pied a lower box
Miss Mable Nahum was warbling
HAS Any One a Kiss to Spare?"
AS she riveted her orbs towards the
box in which the Rock Island mayor
and his friends were seated Mr.. Nc
Caskrin said he was game. The
young woman, not to be daunted,
danced to the edge of the box and
there was nothing for the mayor to
do but stand pat-which he did.
Miss Nahum, returning to the
center Of the stage, proceeded with
the song, and she concluded the last
verse, asked the mayor If he had
any objection to return engage
ment. He was again game.
Mayor McCaskrin, it will be re-
called, on a former visit of the Gay
Morning Glories' here, was the per-
petrator of a joke upon the COM
pany, caused all OF the women to be
arrested and given a ride in the
patrol wagon after which a mock
trial occurred. The company Is to
appear at the Illinois here tonight.

ALMA, Wo WoHNsT DUP"

Alma, Wo Wohnst DUE" (Alma,
Where Do You Live?l is the title
of the operetta TO be presented for
the first time in this city Wednes-
day evening at the Illinois theatre
by the Adolph Philip company. This
comedy has been running in New
York for two seasons and is still pop
ular there. 1t is a free adaptation
from the French of Paul Herve by
Adolph Philip, the music being by
Jean Briquet. One of the numbers
the Alma waltz, is described as
another Merry Widow" waltz. The
little opera will be presented here by
an exceptional company, headed by
Miss Cora Moreno, said to be a beau
tiful and fascinating German sing
ing comedienne, who will appear as
Alma Dufaur, the dashing heroine.
Besides the Alma" waltz there are
other numbers that will linger in
memory, such as Der Schwartzen
Kater," (The Black Cat and Nv Ell
Der, Weber," (Women, Women). 1t
is claimed the dramatic action in this
operetta is so continuous and its
aim so universal that it is not neces-
sary to understand one word of Ger
man to grasp it's meaning or enjoy
it's comedy.
