WENT In the first year of Republican Control the expenses of operation of nearly all state offices, commissions and departments vere increased. The Department of Finance and Purchase was installed at a biennial expense ex-pense of $45,000.00. The net increase in expense of operating all state offices, commissions and departments for the first half of the present biennium over the first half of the last biennium was more than $200,000.00. A partial list of increases follows : Secretary of State $ G,746.53 Juvenile Court 5,476.54 Bank Commissioner 5.C08.64 Industrial Commission . . . 18.074.10 State Engineer W2i Department of Finance Board of Health 9,473.82 , lanmna District Courts 31.G36 2G and Purchase 18,610 03 Jurors, Witnesses 3,424 G3 Department of Agriculture 54.GG5.32 This is the actual increase in expense of operation during the period, and does not include disbursements made for deficits of previous years. The cost of operating public schools increased more than 25 per cent in 1921 over 1920. Has the Republican administration reduced taxes? It has made NO reduction re-duction in taxes but has increased the levy for sta'e taxes in 1922 from 2 2 mills to 2.4 mills, and this increase will be insufficient to take care of the increase in-crease in expense. During this same period tho Republican administration has increased the bonded indebtedness $1,600,000 and will have a large deficit at the end of the biennium. The state's indebtedness is now in excess of the one and one-half per-centum per-centum of the assessed valuation, the limit of indebtedness provided by law. The Republican administration urg2s ?n amendment to the constitution increasing in-creasing the debt limit so that it can borrow more money to care for its deficits. 1 H - - PROTECT YOUR EYES H "Practically two persons in three need their eyes cared for," writes an eminent physician, in the New York Medical Journal.

That Republicans have constructed in Weber county 17.5 miles of surfaced road6. THE TRUTH. That the Republicans contracted Just one mile of our-faced our-faced road in their administration; that is at Hooper; Is on a side road, and COST $30,000.00. They finished the Ogden canyon ?.nd Ogden-Brig-ham City reads, which the Democrats Demo-crats contracted. About two miles of surfacing were laid on the Ogden Og-den Bngham City rord, and 7 03 miles In Ogden canyon, but more than -'.0 per cent of the cost of the latter road was paid for in 1920 by taxes levied that year. Only about 10 mills altogether. THE CLAIM. That the Republican administration constructed two miles of tarvla ro?d. THE TRUTH . T hat on; carload of tarvla was uaed to curfaco about a quarter mile of road at Harrisville. THE CLAIM. That the Republican adminlctration built a concrete bridge THE TRUTH That sjrh a bridge was contracted, and work has commenced, com-menced, but that two-thirds of the work, and about two-thirds of the expense of that bridge muat be taken tak-en care of by the Democratic admin-istrat.on admin-istrat.on which will go In office next January. The great system of surfaced roads In Weber county was the work of the Democratic administration between 1917 and 1920. 't was paid for In those years, almost wholly. Yet with the state road levy reduced from -mills In 1920 to .45 mills In 1922, by reason of the fct that this work was out of the way, you STILL PAY MORE TAXES.
