Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 June 1891 — The Green Smith Plan. [ARTICLE]

The Green Smith Plan.

Frankfort Banner. Reduce the levy for county, township and municipal purposes to the lowest possible point, are the instructions sent out by Democratic politicians. These instructions will be observed even if money has to be borrowed to meet current expenses. These leaders know that somethingmust be done to deceive the people in regard to the effect of the new tax law, or the chances of the Democratic party for future success “will go where the wood-bine twiueth.” They argue that so long as the tax-payer is not required to go down in his pocket for money, it is all right, and that a constantly increasing debt has no terror for him. The average citizen and tax-payer is not a fool, as the Democratic party leaders will yet learn.
