THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS
Heavily Increased Cost
of Government.
**We ir e oonieni ta leave with tha
people of Oregon the eosnomy record
of thia administration and the same
record of tha l.a Follett« regime In
Wisconsin aa sufficient reason (or a
vote for Coolidge In the forthcoming
sled Ion," said I. L. Patterson, chair­
man of tha Republican Stats Central
committee.
"We find that Coolidge, who said,
T am for economy. After that I am
(or more economy.* meant what be
said and carried out thia policy to tha
lim it, with tha avowed Intention of
cutting government eapenaee and
Isaes atUI further Is the coming four
years.
"Tge La Follette conduct of affairs
In Wlscooaln »hows constantly mount­
ing aatravagancea of state govern­
ment and. b ecau se La Folletta baa
been la complete control there, bo
and his friends who are of the same
political theories as himself, for the
past 30 years. It should ba fair to
contrast the record of Ibis admlolatm-
tloo In governmanl. with Coolidge at
the bead, and the record of the La
Follelte group In Wisconsin.
"We know that Coolidge la the head
of the administration that has aavsd
the people of thia country (4,000.000
dally In federal tales aa compared
with 10S1. It baa lopped M .4M e m ­
p lo y ee from the federal payrolls. Tha
national debt baa been reduced ((.-
7(0.000.000 In three years
The bud
get baa been established, the Dawes
plan adopted and a period of prosper­
ity haa replaced general distress that
prevailed when this administration
took charge of public affairs.
"Now let us see *h s t constructive
results the La Follette group haa ao
compllabed la Wisconsin. In 1901 La
Follette became governor and haa
since retained control of the slate with
bis henchmen. From 1901 to 1910. the
records show, there waa no great In-
rraaae In the population of the state.
W hile population Increase from 1901
to 1933 waa 39 per cent, Increase In
property assessment for the qame per-
lod waa more than 385 per cent and
the Increase In stale aspendlturea was
433 per cent.
"In Wisconsin aa army of new stale
employes waa created and the new
capital building became too limited
to huuaa tha political swarm of tag
asters.
"The total assessed valuation of
Wisconsin In 1901 was (1,484,284.000.
In 1931 It had reached the startling
total of 14.094,789.943, without a ma
terlal reduction In the rate per rent
of taxation. In addition to thia assess
meat. too. a state Imomu lax law took
more than (41.000.000 from tha tag
payers from 1913 to 1931. Inclusive.
"High coat of government In Wis­
consin under the La Follette plan Is
apparent to anyone who will consult
the record. He proposes to extend his
paternalistic, socialistic schemes In
Wisconsin to the national government
If be has tha opportunity.
"Thos B. Lyons, for yeara a mem
bar of the Wisconsin tax commission.
In a recent review of the Wisconsin
tag situation, said:
" ' I t will ba observed (hat these
levies Jumped from «0,370.479 in 1914
to («,484.441 In 1911, or 88 per cent,
and from »14,481,441 In 1914 to 3I17r
931,7(4 in 1 9 « . or 91.6 per cent. The
Increase In the eight-year period from
1914 to 1 9 0 was 114.5 per cent.’
"Under the Coolidge plan of govern­
ment. costs are decreasing and taxes
are lessening Under the fg Folletta
plats costa are rising and taxes are
growing at a very heavy rate. It
should sot be difficult for the voters
to make up their mind aa to whlc’t
policy they prefer In their govern
ment."
