some instances peas are being

PARH DECEIT EXPOSED
Records Show Democrats Have Paid
Republican Bills, LIquIdated Part
Of State Debt, and Reduced
the Tax Rate.

The average man Is too busy with
his personal affairs to make an exhaus.
tive study of the state finances. Be.
cause Of the average mans lack of
information regarding finances, the
manner in which money is appropriat.

It's expenditure, and the real source
Of responsibility regarding the state
finances, the Republicans and Bull

tempt to deceive the people by the
following methods:
1. BY. deliberate misstatements of
facts.
.. BY the suppression Of essential
facts.
g. By the telling of half.truths.
To understand the state finances
certain things must be horne in mind.
Among these are the following facts:
1. Governor Marshall took Office Jan.
uary /. 1909.
2. William H. O'Brien, Democratic
auditor of state, took Office De-
cember /, 1910.
3. William Il vcllmer. Democratic

4. That prior to January l, 1909, the
state had been under the absolute
control of the Republican party
for sixteen years.
{. That the General Assembly of 1909
was only one-half Democratic. the
Republicans having control of the
senate.
Q. That the General Assembly was.
n 1911, for the first time In six.
teen years. entirely Democratic.
and the Democratic party is en-.
titled to credit and is responsible
for whatever legislation that was
enacted that year.
2. That the fiscal year for state bnoi-
ness ends on the Both day of Sep
teinber of each year.

Ten months were left 20 the
Democrats Of that fiscal year And
during those ten months the Dem
ocrats not only met and paid all
these Republican bills. but paid
the nnal construction expenses
OF the new Southeastern Hospital,
the Tuberculosis Hospital, the VII.
iage- Of Epileptics. and the School
for the Deaf. Small wonder that
fhe Democrats made no payment
on the state debt when they had
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
81 to pay on bIiIs that Republicans
- made and should have paid!
Then came the Democrats ia
ming. On September 80. 1912. the
first full fiscal year of Democratic
control Of finances came to q
close.
Every current bill was paid.
Two new state institutions were
maintained at cost Of $2c6,67467.
A town and township deficiency
fund of s52,134.30 was paid.
One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars on the state debt, which
was not due until 1915, was paid.
This saved the tax payers over
$4,000 In interest.
And at the chose of the fiscal
year on September 80, 1912, there
was left in the general fund Of
the treasury, after all bills were
paid, after $15O.oO0 on the state
debt was paid, $1s2,e5s.
Just compare the records Of the
last year of Republican control
with the first full year of Demo-
cratic control.
!. But that is not all. This remark
able record was made In the face
Of the fact that the Democrats
reduced the total state tax levy
1R cents, which meant a saving
to the tax payers Of $2S0,0OO .
year.
In other words, the Democrats
reduced the taxes and had thou
sands Of dollars more in the treas
ury than tho Republicans had with
higher tax rate and with $4,000
In unpaid bills.
J. Much has been said concerning pay.
ments on the state debt and Mr..
Durbin boasts about the record.
paying year of his administration.
:. That year almost 100000 was
turned over to the state by tho
United States on tho war claim
and this money, with the raising
or saving Of which DurbIn had
nothing to do was applied to tho
state debt.
AS a matter Of fact II was the |
wisdom OF the Democrats during
the Matthews administration
which created the state debt
sinking fund for the ultimate |
liquidation of the state debt. This |
fund was suspended during Han |
ly's administration on the ground |
that Durbin had paid On the debt |
TO the neglect of current expenses.
and that the close of the Durbin |
administration found the state |
suffering from an enormous de-
f1ciency. The Republicans. I'm
control Of the finance board, paid |
nothing on the state debt during
the years 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910. |
The Democrats then returned to |
power and after paying all the
unpaid Republican bills. they paid
in 1911 s1Os. 900. Coliseum bonds.
and s15o.o0O in 1919 on the state
debt.
II Ieft In power the Democrats
will continue paying on the state
debt and thers will be no suspen-

cember /, 1910. Up TO that time
Oscar Hadly had for four years
been treasurer OF state. When
Mr.. O'Brien took ONCE he and
Governor Marshall constituted O
majority OF the board OF finance
and, therefore, the Democrats are
responsible for the acts Of the
state board OF finance from and
after December /. 1910, and not
before.
IL. That the practice of the finance
board calling upon county treasur-
ers for advance payments has
been In vogue In Indiana every
year since the year 1851. except
Ing only the years Of 1858 and
1859.
13. The General Assembly Of 1907 ap-
propriated all money for the fiscal
years ending September 80. 1908.
and September g. 1909. SO that
whatever money was expended
for the various institutions, Offices
and commissions In the state Of
Indiana for the first eight months
that Governor Marshall held Of
office as governor was appropri-
sted and authorized by the Re-
publican legislature Of 1907.
That in the election Of 1908 the
only state officers elected by Dem
ocrats were governor, lieutenant
governor and superintendent of
public instruction. The Republi-
can candidates for all other state
Offices were elected In the general
election of 1908.
IA. That In the general assembly OF
1909 the Democratic House of Rep
resentatives passed an appropria-
ton bill appropriating money for
the two fiscal years ending Sep
tember 30, 1911: that after said
appropriation bill was passed by
the House OF Representatives 1t
was sent to the senate, which was
controlled by the Republicans, and
the Republican Senate increased
the amount OF appropriation as
passed by the House $511, 900 90,
and the Republican senate COM
PEELED the Democratic House to-
accept this increase Of S511, 900. 90.
Is. The Legislature Of 1909 approprt
ated money for the fiscal year
ending September 80, 1910. In ad.
dition to the money that was ex-
pended IN the fiscal year ending
September 80. 1910. appropriated
by tho Legislature of 1909. was an
expenditure Of $213,9S2.73. that
was appropriated by the Repub-
iican Legislature at a special ses.
sion, held In September, 1908.
~ On September 80, 1910, the close
Of the last full Republican admin.
istration. there was In the general
fund OF the state treasury $s2. .7es..

vened before the Democrats came
into possession Of the board OF a.
nance and assumed responsibility

s. two months advance payments
were called for In October to the

30 1t 10 true tho Democrats Increased
appropriations In some particu-
lars. but the money was we'll
spent.
Do the farmers object to this:
The Democrats gave $4,000 for
the agricultural experiments at
Purdue University where the Re-
Puhlieans only gave $4,000. Is
this money well spent?
DO the enlightened people of In.
diana object to this: The Demo

nually to Purdue University s17,-
500, to the State University ST.
500. to the State Normal, $12,500,
While the Republicans gave abso-
iutefy nsthIne. In this money well
spent?
u The Republicans try to deceive the
people by showing that the state
benevolent institutions are costing
more now than during Durbin's
administration. This is true, and
why2
/. There are several more state
institutions to maintain, and the
more institutions the greater the
cost.
2. There are many hundreds
more inmates In the state insti-
tutions now than during Durbin's
time and the more people to feed
and clothe the greater the cost.
3. The cost Of food and clothing
Is many per cent higher now. as
every man knows, than during
Durbins time. and the increased
price paid by private citizens for
food and clothing hits the state
the same as 1T hits private citi-
zen.
How Would D.rbin Reduce the Ex-
penses Of tie etate Institutions?
2. The Republicans have charged
falsely that the Democrats have
been extravagant In expenditures
Does this hook Ike it?
The first full year of Democratic
control. closing September go
1912, shows net disbursements in
general fund of s2,937, ,o7o.42, or
$755,so4.ss less than the last full
Republican year.
q. Regarding extravaganza In expen-
diture II must be kept In mind
that state officials only spend the
money appropriated by the legis-
lature. Bearing In mind that the
legislature of 1907 was Republi-
can. that of 1909 had Republican
Senate which raised the appropri-
alton bin OF the House almost a
million dollars and succeeded in
forcing an increase over the bill
fathered by the Democratic House
OF about 100000. and that the
