Ninety percent of county taxpayers now pay state and county tax under the system. Judge Carey notes poorer taxpayers shoulder a rising share as total state revenue increases from 1910 to 1929. Railroads pay a sizable portion, while some groups like cattlemen and speculators face higher assessments in the period described.
Fragmentary transcription notes claim official state reports compiled by Examiner Henderson and supplied by Deputy Treasurer F. S. Rheiden. Mentions Warren’s Seat and references Denver Post as a source.
Garey and Judge Carey defend a statewide circular as a false and biased attack. The document accuses Governor Carey of misleading statements about taxes and public spending, citing alleged misrepresentations on rail tax burdens, county levies, and official salaries. Carey supporters say the charges misstate figures and that responses refute every claim, predicting further unfair attacks before the election.
The text reports allegations by Judge Carey and associates accusing Governor Brooke and state officials of waste and improper gains. It details claims of a $162 trip, $9000 in veterinary fees, a $4409 library payment, and other travel and expense charges over ninety days. The report frames these as political attacks tied to machine rule.
Judge Carey spoke at the Encampment on October 12, 1910, noting Wyoming’s twenty year growth gaps. He cited population rising from about 60,705 to 180,000, postal offices from 190 to 300, and rural free delivery expansion. He highlighted valuation growth to 831 million and shifts in resources, underscoring uneven development and ongoing improvements.
