The piece argues the postal savings bank is the only valuable proposal among relief schemes. Western bankers oppose Alarich's rubber money plan, claiming ruin for the people while defending the system.
The text argues Taft is not backing Kittredge or any faction in the state senatorial contest. It suggests Taft, as a genuine presidential candidate, avoids aligning with party factions to prevent cross state criticism and recalls Kittredge’s obstructionist canal stance as a nuisance.
Sern Buttock U S marshal travels to Washington to press the president for support of Kittredge in the campaign. With Bullock failing to win admin backing, Buttock plans to return home to bluff his way forward, anticipating friendly interviews and a stream of reports from allies.
The excerpt argues Seth could be taxed on his political influence if valued, suggesting he would go bankrupt quickly. It contrasts Kittredge fearing a debate to defend his record, and calls for giving him the same privilege claimed for Martin.
The piece argues the Aldrich emergency currency proposal would bow to Wall Street interests. It claims senators allied with the system remain receptive to master interests and urges vigilant selection of senators to prevent encroachment on the people’s rights.
The piece recounts old and current campaign stances with Hon. Philo Hall and Eben Martin facing debates over senate and congress roles. It notes Gov. Crawford challenging Kittredge, Kittredge’s sea level canal reply, and machine-backed Jim Lawson’s call for Crawford to debate, while Crawford ignores ward politicians.
About 150 leading New Hampshire Republicans formed Tarr Cius in Concord on Saturday January 11. Representatives in congress disapproved, reading letters from Senators Gallinger and Burnham and Congressmen Currier and Sulloway. A resolution supported unpledged delegates to the national convention. Taft support appears uncertain, with Ohio not solid and only Kittredge seemingly unanimous for Taft at present.
Senator Andricu introduces an emergency currency bill backed by bonds other than United States bonds. The proposal would give the system broad security for emergency currency, limiting western banks' investment options and potentially increasing financial stringency controlled by Wall Street financiers.
The analysis notes a swift barley price collapse from 1.00 to 0.50 within two weeks and highlights Aldrich's emergency currency plan. It proposes a committee to approve bonds as security, potentially allowing inflated Wall Street securities to back emergency currency, threatening western legitimate interests against eastern financial interests.
KittrepGe plans to come home this week to oversee the campaign and ensure only Taft delegates are chosen for the national convention. The figure once sent to Washington as a U S senator appears to have forgotten his role as a local political boss.
The Brookings County tax report shows last year 14762 and this year 34125. The county taxpayers question the extra 20000 in reform funding. Historical notes cite election years 1902 1904 1906 and subsequent deficits raising levies in following years to cover election costs and arrears.
The 1903 to 1907 figures show rising valuations but falling state taxes, prompting voter questions on governance. The Sioux Falls Argus Leader admits misrepresentation over a twine plant tax, arguing state taxes for Brookings farmers were not significantly higher, even after removing the plant levy.
