people paid; while others enjoyed
the same privileges without pay

the revenue, which accounts; to
a large degree, for the small
amount collected by the Demo

Facts to Remember.
You will notice we collected in
1911, $I25,647.8o on insurance
taxes. In the last year of Mr..

what Republican management

Note item IN list, Interest on
Deposits" one half of which
goes to the State and the other
half to the State School Fund.
The half collected that went into
the State fund in 1911 was $24,-

half paid into the State fund from
this source amounted to $I2,-

under Democratic rule, they did
not collect more from this source

pockets of county and other
officers, ard there you have one

last four years 'this Republican
administrator collected from this
source 15,II4.56- In the last
four years of Democratic admin
