preparations for the present biennial
period of the Hyde administration
were $3O,254, ,916.11, compared to $17,-
SIG, $50 SO during the last two years of
the Gardner administration. The cost
of the General Assembly, under Gov
ernor Hyde, has been $450,500, as
against $269, ,9OS.51 under the Demo
cratic administration only two years
previous. If Governor Hyde and his
aggregation Of m isfits can get away
with claims of economy and reduced
taxation in face of the above facts

THIS from the Howell County
Gazette gives one fair idea OF the
economy and "tax reduction now
prevailing under Republican rule;
When 9. r. Spradlin and R. R.
Hall, Democratic county judges, re-
tired in January. 1919, the county was
out of debt and warrants were worth
100 cents on the dollar. After four
years of misrule by a Republican
county court the county is now $40,
600 in debt and warrants are worth
only 80 cents on the dollar and the
banks don't want 10 buy them even
at this price. Don't you think, Mr..
and Mrs. and Miss Voter, that it il
time to make a change and see if the
Democrats can't pull the county out
of debt?

THERE are some interesting tales
leaking out about the conduct of the
State Penitentiary. A convicted
murderer, in for life, having a good
time as the Governors chauffer, is a
familiar story. But that is only a
sample, and here is another: The
state prison board gave two convict
ball teams permission to play ball III
other towns of the state. So disgrace
fully did some of them behave, es'
pecially the negro team, that they
were ordered back to prison. Another
example of the incompetency of the
Hyde administration.

The lying propagandists have the
super gall to claim that our taxes are
are reduced under the administra-
tion of Gov. Hyde. Here are few
figures that concern the matter. l
copy from the Missouri State Journal:
sin showing the tax (?) reduction
Governor Hyde did not explain that
the taxes of the favored few had been
cut and that the farm and small home
owners of the state had been required
to pay more in each and every in
stance in spite of the depressed finan-
cial condition of farmers while the
income and corporation franchise
taxes have been reduced one half.
To show that taxes on farm lands have
been increased to unheard of proper
tions only requires a comparison OF
the value made by the State Tax Com
mission appointed by Governor Gard
ner, a Democrat, and the Republican
State Board of Equalization headed by
Governor Hyde. The value recon-
mended on farm lands by the Ta1
Commission composed of Roy d
Williams, an eminent Boonville law
yer; Fl. Chouteau Dyer, lawyer ant
tax authority of st. Louis, and w. A
Dallmeyer, Republican, a prominent
banker and farmer of high standing
was $770, ,667 1888. The value on which
farmer owners were required to pay
taxes by the Hyde regime was $1,767,
,71S, or more than one billion dol
lars more. That's the reason farm
owners of Missouri are required topay
increased taxes while the more favor
cd pay less. The increase on one bill.
