The article traces shifts in state finances from the late 19th century back to 1907, noting the national government repaid 1 360 000 in direct taxes and 296 000 in other revenues enabling the state to meet running expenses under Governor James E Campbell. It contrasts six years of Republican rule with McKinley and Bush as leaders, arguing current revenues exceed expenditures and the general revenue fund has grown, while no federal repayments have occurred to aid Republicans.
