Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 October 1908 — COST OF SPECIAL SESSION. [ARTICLE]

COST OF SPECIAL SESSION.

Up to last Saturday night Governor Hanly’s unnecessary and partisan spo* cial session of the legislature had cost $22,500. The cost of the special elections to fill vacancies was about $20,000 more. Total cost to taxpayers up to last Saturday, $42,500. And that Is only a part of it. All this expense was put upon the people by Republican politicians in an effort to get the Republican party out of a hole. But the effort failed. The Republican politicians only succeeded in digging the hole deeper. The people of Indiana are not in a humor to be either ex ploited or trifled with.
