Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 237, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 October 1914 — CATCH ’EM COMING AND GOING [ARTICLE]

CATCH ’EM COMING AND GOING

Democrats in state, county add township have not only raised the tax rate throughout Indiana, but they have increased the valuation of taxable * property, thereby catching the taxpayers both coming and going and providing funds, even now insii&cient to maintain the extravagant administration of public affairs. The fact that at this time the Democratic party is controlled by the Crawford Fairbanks Terre Haute Brewing Company-Tom iTsffgartrDonn Roberts-Joe Bell machine precludes the possibility of any relief for the taxpayers of Indiana the I)eaßeoratlc P®rty carry jkaetion this year. The next legislature, \jf Democratic, is certain to be more‘subservient to the ring than the notorious legislature of 1918. Taggart and Fforbarifcs have already laid their lines, even to the extent of picking their candidate for speaker of the house, should the Democrats win. The great uprising among the voters this year in favor of the Republican cause shows that the taxpayers are aawilling to take another chance.
