The Democratic administration orators
will reply to this by saying that their
large appropriations We're made neces-
sary by a deficit as they say, (See
treasurer's report of 1911, page 40,Vet

amount to $751S11.19" Was it good
business to increase taxation $3.50, SAL
.46 in order to meet unpaid bills to the
amount of only $751; ,S11.19? Does this
not show that the Democrats admin
istration failed to deal fairly with the
situation for partisan effect? Have they
not WILFULLY OVERTURNED and
overburdened the people. in order to
make a show of financial gains in ord
err to appeal to the public in a political
campaign.
In 1910, the burden of their cry was
that the Fernald administration had
raised the appropriation to eight mil
lions. The Plaisted administration has
exceeded the Fernald appropriations by
a Large sum and has exceeded the
appropriations of Governor Cobb's sec
ond term by over two and half mil
lions. When met by this fact they
