HOW JUDGE LAMM TRIED TO BANKRUPT THE STATE

How is the state sustained-from what main source does it re-
ceive funds with which to support the schools, the State University
and other public institutions?
a You answer without hesitancy, taxation" Suppose every
laboring man who owns a little home, every merchant, every lawyer
j every doctor, every manufacturer, every farmer, every property
owner of every class, should refuse o. fail to pay his taxes for nine
long years, what would be the condition OF the state financially?
The little red school houses, every one, would be closed and
cold.
The normal schools would be deserted
The State University would be abandoned.
The inmates Of the penitentiary and the asylums could not be
clothed and fed.
That would be a terrible situation, wouldn't it?
Had every taxpayer pursued the course that Judge Lamm, the
Republican candidate for the high office of Governor did. that would
have been the disgrace that would have overaken Missouri.
For nine long years Judge Lamm failed or refuses to pay his
personal tax.
He was sued by the collectors of Petts County and the City Of
SedaEa nine times.
And then at the expiration Of nine years, what happened?
The accumulated taxes of nine years amounting to over 5000
were compromised for about $623l
In other words, in order to induce Judge Lamm to pay, he was
given a discount Of about 33 13 per cent?
Do you, Mi. Laborng Man and Mr. Merchant and Mr.. Doctor
and Mr. Lawyer and Mr.. Manufacturer, fare as we'll?
Are you favored with a discount Of onethrd of your taxes?
Or, are you subject to a penalty if you do not pay when due?
Is this the character of man the taxpayers, the people who sup
port the state, want for Governor?
Judge Lamm would have bankrupted the state, but loyal Dem
ocrats, Republicans, Socialists and Prohibiionists saved it by re-
fusing to follow his example.

inc. P. Gordon's administration OF the office of State Auditor
has been efficient, honest and clean. He has collected 80 per cent
more money for the state than his Republican predecessor did, and
has never been accused Of holding out money that belongs to the
state. Can you say as much Of his Republican opponent, George
Hackmann administer his county office in Warren County, 1t was
Hackmann, OF Warren County? You certainly cannot How did
all published in the newspapers at the time the State Board Of
Examiners made their report. and we hope that, by this time.
George has paid back the money.

The Globe Democra is shedding crocodile tears over its own
false statement that the Major administration has not paid the
Confederate pensions. That infamous newspaper has no right to
complain even il its charges are true. Well do we remember the
scream Of rage that went up from the Globe-Democrat when the
Confederate pension law was enacted. Pensions, indeed! Every
BODY in this state knows that if the Gobe-Democrat could have had
Its way about it, every Confederate soldier in Missouri would have
been shot to death so years ago.

For Division No. 2 of the Supreme Court the Democratic nom
inee is Fred L. Williams, Of Joplin, a man whose ability for the
position is unquesdoned. For the past four years Judge Williams
has served as a member Of the Supreme Court Commission where
he has demonstrated his ability and Judge of the law to be equal
to the best. The decisions written by him show conclusively that
he goes to the bottom of every question submitted. Since the
work OF a member of the Supreme Court is the same as that Of a
Commissioner the voters of Missouri will make no mistake in elect
ing Judge Williams to this important position, as he is in the prime
of life, while his Republican opponent is way on the shady side
of life.

reelection. Judge Woodson's decisions are able and forceful and
show him to be a great student He is a resident OF ST Joseph
where he served as circuit judge prior 70 his elevation to the SUI

in his present capacity for the next ten years.

Judge Lamm has now betaken himself to the process Of cross
examination. The Democratic party has rendered an account Of
its stewardship. But Lamm is not satisfied. He asks twelve more
questions. We recall the story in the Bible about the lawyer who
asked questions. And, we recall some Of the answers to those ques-
tons: Woe unto you lawyers also, for ye load men with burdens
grievous to be borne, and we, yourselves, touch not the burden with
one OF your fingers" If Lawyer Lamm knows anything, he knows
that his party loaded this state with a'debt Of over $40O00,O00 and
a SOC tax rate. He also knows that while doing this his party did
not establish a single state institution. While paying off that Re-
publican debt OF $40000,000 and while reducing the state tax from
DOC to loo, the Democratic party was building up a great university,
hve norma schools and many charitable institutions besides. In
reply to LammIs twelve questions, we ask him but ONE question
What did the Republican party ever do for Missouri, excepting to
load It with debts and taxesf What great thing did o ever do
ior Missouri IN your ten years on the Supreme bench, excepting
to draw your salary and keep your son in Office? Answer, Judge
