Col.'Durbin’s Proposition , . § In 1902, as Governor, I made the proposition to the tax payers of the State if they would continue the Republican Finance Board and give me a Republican Legislature to hold down appropriations, I would pay off all the State debt that could be paid or leave money in the treasury or on the tax duplicate to pay the remainder. I did it. I now make the proposition that if elected Governor, I will pay off every dollar of the State debt and not raise the taxes one penny in so doing. I paid $2,808,000 on the debt during my administration, largely through the application of business methods. A vote for me is a vote to pay off the debt and thereby reduce the taxes. Take your choice, Mr. Taxpayer. WINFIELD T. DURBIN.
