ELIM LIVES III HOPE

But It's Mighty Faint, That There May Be Something Left in Durham's Bank. TBIEDTO BUY ANOTHER CONCERN Failed to Agree on Terms What His Wife Says Base Ball and Xtace Feeling in a Combine. Washington. Ind., Aus. 2G. Further developments In the closing of the Elnora bank indicate that the proprietor, Pleasant Durham, had in mind a greater coup than he accomplished,, leaving with alout $10.000 of the citizens money, which was on deposit at the Institution. ,It is learned that several days ago Durham visited Odon. a country town ten miles east of Elnora and which has an enterprising bank, and attempted to purchase the bank at that point The Odon bank is a private one, owned by George Abraham. The sale was talked of and a price was agreed upon, but the deal was declared off when Abraham demanded that a guarantee bond to cover the deposits be put up by the purchaser. This Durham refused to do. Thought lie Wa a Millionaire. The people at Elnora were impressed with the supposed wealth of Durham, and frequently spoke of their millionaire banker, who had settled in their midst, not for his profit, but to help the town. The methods adopted by Durham were peculiar. He loaned money out at the rate of 5 per cent annually, and allowed depositors 4 per cent, on time deposits. As a consequence his business has increased rapily. The people had great confidence in the stability of the bank, thinking that Durham was immensely wealthy. The greatest and heaviest loser is George Holstein, a farmer, in moderate circumstances, who had $S4:j in the bank. Holstein lives a distance in the country, and did not know of the failure of the bank until he came to town yesterday and discovered that his money, along with the proprietor, was gone. What the Hanker Wife Saj-i. The wife of the missing banker is at her home f t GOO East Fortieth street, Chicago, aad says that the whole affair is a mistake. She says that she does not know just where her husband is. nor what h? is doing, but feels sure that the funds of the bank are all safe, and will be turned over by him. She said that the bank was backed by Attorney Kingsland. of Chicago, whom Durham met shortly after he had lost a situation with a shoe concern at Mt-r r.ce. Ills., and went to Chicago to search for work. The woman said that she received a letter Saturday from the banker, saying the bank had failed, and that he promised he would write again. She said that the claim that there was about $10.000 on deposit at the little bank was a mistake, as at no time did the deposits ever amount to more than $4,000.

LIFFEREUCE OF METHODS Hae , Something Apparently to Do with Some Wan. Manila, Aug. 23. The defense In the Freedom sedition case called Governor Taft as a witness to show that many former Insurgent leaders who were guilty of various offenses not recog sizable by the laws of war have been appointed to civil positions. Govern or Taft gave testimony to the effect that many such former Insurgents had - been appointed, but that they had proved honest, straightforward and earnest. He said that some of them had been guilty of murder by Unitd States stand ards, but that from their own stand point they undoubtedly believed their conduct of the war to have been legi'tlmatc. Governor Taft said that he tad found these appointees to be loyal, and that they were not chosen because they happened to be Insurgent generals, but because they were men of in fluence among their own people. Strike Left to Arbitration. Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 26. The street railway strike and boycott existing during the past ttn days have been ubmitted to a committee of five busi ness men for arbitration. Both sides agree to stand by the decision of Uta committee. Threw Illnuelf Cater the Wheels. Terre Haute, Ind.,. Aug. 26.

THE STATE'S DEBT

Concise History of Its Creation and Its Reduction. MONUMENT TO MISMANAGEMENT Of the State's Fiscal affairs How the State Expended a Fortune in Interest and Interest on Interest During the Two Decades Preceding the Present Era of Republican ControlSome Facts Which Every Tax-Payer Ought to Know. . When the Republican party first came into power in Indiana in 1861 it inherited from a Democratic administration a state funded debt of $10,179267 a debt which, the financial reSources of the state considered, would be equivalent to an obligation of forty million dollars at this time. For ten years thereafter the Republicans had control of the governorship, and most of the time of the legislature. During this period the state debt was reduced $6,011,760, and left at $4,167,507, a wonderful result when It is remembered that this era covered the war period, when the state's expenditures were necessarily unusual in amount. For the next ten years the state was under the' practically uninterrupted control of Democratic leadership. The debt-paying policy was abandoned, and during that decade the state debt was increased $830,671. With a continuance of the policy maintained by Republican state officials during the preceding decade, it 'would have been entirely wiped out. Instead, it rose to $4,998,178.34. How It Was. Done. A remarkable fact, is it not, something more than coincidence, in all human probability, that during each of. three periods of Democratic control the state debt has been increased, while during each of three periods of Republican control, the state debt has been largely decreased? Every dollar of indebtedness contracted for a half century is Democratic, nearly every dollar of indebtedness discharged during the same period Republican! It is not possible to shift from the shoulders of Indiana Democratic leadership the direct responsibility for this piling up of the state's indebtedness. particularly that accumulated from 1S83 to 1891, when the state debt grew with a swiftness unprecedented. During all that period the state's expenditures were largely exceeding its revenues, yet, despite the recommendations of successive governors, Democratic legislatures refused to make provision for the deficit, handing down to posterity an obligation created for meeting current expenses, and resulting not only in an enormous interest charge, but one extending to interest on interest. The excess of receipts over expenditures from 1884 to 1889 amounted to more than three million dollars, which was provided for by the simple process of adding it to the state debt. In 1880 the ordinary expenses of the state amounted to $844.283. By 1889 they had increased to $1.320.502. and yet the tax levy rate fixed in the seventies was maintained by legislatures too cowardly to meet the situation face to face, preferring to throw the responsibility upon their successors in office, and compel the state to meet the enormous cost of their expensive demagogy. On July 31, 1890. the Indianapolis Sentinel said: "The state debt itself Is not of alarming dimensions. It is only $8.540.615.12." Yet it was higher than It had been for thirty years; It had been doubled in a decade, and at that time the total Interest payment of seven hundred and fifty dollars a day aggregated annually one-fourth of th state's revenues. In 1889 alone the leflclt was $882.962.98. In 1881 and 1882 two years of Re publican management ensued. During this period the state debt was reduced $121,570. Then followed, under Democratic management, what Is by all odds the most discreditable period in the fiscal history of the state. During the de cade ending with 1890 only five states in the entire Union Increased their bonded Indebtedness. In these five states the total Increase was $1.316.425. In Indiana alone the Increase aggregated more than four million dollars, three times as much as the total Increase of bonded Indebtedness In all other states combined. During the same period thirty-two states decreased their bonded indebtedness sixty mil lion dollars. In 1895 when the present era of Republican management be gan, the debt was $7,520,615.12. In the seven years of Republican fiscal management which have ensued, the state debt has been decreased $4,326,000, until It stands today at the lowest flgdre In a half century of the state's history, namely, $287,61512. The New Tax Law. On August 25, 1890, the Republican state organ predicted that regardless of the complexion of the next leglsla ture, the disclosure of the facts con nected with this era of fiscal misman agement would compel action with a view to preventing the making of large appropriations without providing the means of paying them. There would be. It predicted, a new departure in financial legislation and management "If the next legislature is Democratic It will be forced by public opinion to adopt a policy very different from that which has prevailed during the past few years." This prediction was ful filled. Tae legislature of 1891 passed a new tax law, and Increased the levy to IS cents. , As to the beneficent character of this law the most extravagant claims have been made. It has been said that- it put all the added burdens of taxation upon the great corporations, particu larly the railroads. The figures do not corroborate this theory. Under that law the total appraisement of railroad property was raised $84,832,866; of express and sleeping car property, $1,172,340. The total appraisement of lands jandjmpjprementswas Jncreased

$152,261.225; the valuation of lots and improvements was Increased $92,401,304, and of personal property $56,914,438. The railroads, express companies etc., bore less than one-fourth of the total increase In appraisement, and, as before stated, there was a substantial increase in the levy all 'round. It may be noted In this connection that under the old law Democratic tax boards had appraised the value of railroad property during the years 1883 to 1886 inclusive, at from fifty-three to fifty-five million dollars; In 1887 a Republican tax board promptly increased the appraisement to sixty-two million, and by 1890 had raised it to nearly seventy millions; in other words a Republican tax board had increased the valuation of railroad property fourteen millions, or nearly 25 per cent over the Democratic figure, within the short space of four years. Under the present era of Republican control the appraisement of the property of railroads, express companies, etc.. has been increased nearly thirty million dollars, nine million dollars at the recent sitting of the tax board. The appraisement on the property of express and sleeping car companies fixed by a Democratic board soon after the new law was passed was about onefourth of the present figure. Corporations Were Favored. An interesting confession has been made by the few persons with assurance enough to defend the record of Democratic leadership on th state

debt, namely, that up to the time of he enactment of the new tax law, the arge corporations were paying much ess than their fair share of the taxes. For nearly twenty years prior to the enactment of the law. Democratic leadership was In almost uninterrupted control of the legislative branch of the state government. It. wa3 during thl3 period that corporate holdings increased most rapidly In this state; yet, in preference to shifting a greater por tion of the burden upon them, Demo cratic leadership permitted, year after year, deficits in .the state revenue which resulted in an Increase of nearly $5,000,000 in the state debt before the abuse was corrected. Sinoethat time the' people have been compelled to pay the price of this immunity by scaling down a state debt representing not only extravagant administration and unbusinesslike management, but cor porate immunity from reasonable taxa tion. More Recent History. The new tax law added to the reve nues of the state nearly $1.500,000 an nually; for the two years immediately succeeding its enactment the total increase in revenue, to be exact, was $2.820.973. and yet during these two years the $5,000,000 state debt was decreased not a single cent. During the third year of the operations of the new tax law. Democratic fiscal officers paid one-fourth of the increase In reve nue, or $340,000. on the state debt. The next year they paid $570,000, and In January of the following year $400,000. Of this total payment of $1.300.000 on the state debt, $720.000 came from tue general government, a repayment of the direct tax paid by the state during the war. With five million dollars in increased revenues in four years, they actually paid only $580.000 on the state debt therefrom. In seven years of Repub-, lican fiscal control nearly five million dollers has been paid on the state debt, and if we subtract from this amount the $700.000 secured from the general government as a refund on account of Interest on bonds issued by Indiana during the war, there still remains to the credit of Republican management a reduction of the state debt aggregating much in excess of four million dollars, with the certainty that every dollar of the state debt, excepting some bonds deferred by law, will be paid during the administration of Governor Durbin. All this despite a reduction in the tax levy from 18 to 14 cents, and the expenditure of a million and a half dollars in the en largement and Improvement of the state's institutions. All this as the result of business management of the state's business affairs. A 'vote for Republican legislative candidates is a vote against the state debt. CORPORATIONS MUST PAY Republican Tax Board Raises Their Assessment Nine Million Dollars. The pathetic stories of the corporation attorneys concerning the poverty of their employers which were related to the state tax board were properly recorded and after having them read by the stenographer, the men composing the board sharpened their pencils, made pages of figures and announced that tney had Increased by $9,179,045 the valuation upon which steam and electric railroads, telephone, telegraph, express, pipeline and transportation companies must pay taxes. The total taxable value of the property of this class of corporations doing business in Indiana Is put down by the beard as $192.487.656. against $183.306,611 last year. Indianapolis News. Deviltry of An Inane Man. Oklahoma City, O. T., Aug. 25. Near Lexington, In Cleveland county, Charles Davis, a young man, some time during Saturday night, shot and killed his grandmother, Mrs. Johnson, an old woman, as she lay asleep beside Miss Davis, the murderer's sister. Then Davis ran to the house of Frank Clines. a neighbor, and attempted to shoot the latter. He was disarmed, but escaped. Davis Is believed to have suddenly gone insane.

Elnora, Ind., Aug. 2.". The doors of the Elnora bank, a private institution managed by Pleasant Durham, of Chicago, have been closed and Durham is missing and the funds of eighty depositors, amounting In all to about $10.000, are not obtainable. Durham left here on Thursday night, stating his destination to be Indianapolis, where he said he would join his wife, who wab visiting friends in that city. He did not return Friday and all day the bank remained closed. Saturday morning he was still absent and Thomas M. Sears received a letter from Frederick Kingsland, a Chicago attorney. Bank Ilcl a Good tiualnea. . In this letter Kingsland said he had received word from Durham saying that he had closed the Elnora bank. He inquired the details of the failure, saying that he and other Chicago parties had given financial assistance in the project, but no one here could enlighten him. Durham came to Elnora last spring and in April opened the bank. He rented one of the best offices In the city and fitted it up with handsome furniture and a big safe. He did not incorporate his bank and this fact militated against him, but nevertheless' he did a good business. His deposits averaged from $10.000 to $15.0U0 and they are thought to have been at the former figure when he left. Favored One Drew Out. About a week ago several of his patrons who were intimately associated with him suddenly drew out their accounts. None of the banks in Washington, Ind., were caught, as they declined to enter Into business relations with the Elnora bank owing to its nonIncorporation, and also because the manager declined to place money on deposit in them to cover all risks they might take. Saturday afternoon the luink property was attached by Martin Nugent, who is one of the depositors. Efforts are being made to locate Durham. What U Known at Chicago.

The men evidently intended to rob Hill of a wallet containing $137.50. Instead of calmly droooine off to sleep the big drayman soon began to become unruly. He suddenly sprang from his chair and, with a loud yell, threw one of the men through a board partition. Hill then tore through the saloon, and ran twice around the square, knocking three men down. The town officers, both of whom are large men, finally succeeded In overpowering him. Woman Mysteriously Murdered. New Albany, Ind., Aug. 23.
