borrow in addition $685,000 at excessive rates of interest during the past three months to provide funds for current expenses. With this rapidly increasing cost of maintaining the state government under Democratic extravagance and mismanagement, another increase of 10 cents or more on the $100 of taxable property will soon be necessary. And there is no question but what such an increase will be made if the next legislature is Demo-

In its regular semi-annual statement to the postolfice department regarding ownership, management and circulation, printed on October 3d, the Star League presented the following: "Holders of $230,000 bonds unknown to affiant."
