BROUGH’S RECORD AS A
TAXPAYER
The professor is strong for wanting to make other people pay their taxes,
but he is weak on paying taxes himself. For the first six year the professor was
in Arkansas, (teaching political economy in the university), he drew approxima
tely $12,000 from the taxpayers of the state, and only paid one little measly
dollar in taxes back to the state. The poll tax goes into the common school fund,
to help support the common schools, and to educate the little children of Arkan
sas. Te following table taken from the records of Washington county shows
that he did not pay one cent of taxes for the years 15)04, 1905, 1906, 1907 and
1908, although he was being fed and clothed by the taxpayers of Arkansas dur
ing that time.

The Doctor is strong for the University (paying him), but apparently does not
care to help the common school fund himself.
He talks about good roads, but for five years, while a resident of Arkansas,
he did not pay any road tax, the only road he cared for apparently being the
road to the State Tre< sury. He loves Arkansas for what he can get out of the
treasury, it seems. He came here to accept a well-paying position, and the
chances are that when defeated in this race he may go West where his fortune is
located. He has been paid approximately $M0’000 by the taxpayers of this State
and I understand forwards his surplus money to the Utah National Bank in Og
den, Utah, where he has wealth, estimated at from thirty to fifty, thousand dollars
—thus not paying any taxes on this money in Arkansas, and depriving the banks
of Arkansas of this deposit.
He advocates th > assessment of the real estate in Arkansas by the justices
of the peace in each township, which he says will make everybody assess their
property. It is well nnown that there are one hundred and fifty negro justices of
the peace in South and East Arkansas. 1 know that the people in those sections
are not for that plan, and that the white voters of the other parts of Arkansas
will not force it upon their neighbors in that part of the State. I am not in favor
of any new offices, but it might be well to employ some additional collectors in
Washingtn county to help collect the poll tax for Professor Biough. We should
not be surprised that the professor advocates negro assessors, as it is in line with
his speech made in behalf of the negro race in Washington, D. C., in which he
said that the white man should not object to being the “winning partner of the
negro.”
The records of Washington county show that the professor has been aquali
lied elector of Arkansas only six years, although he has been drawing a high sal
ary for twelve years; and everybody knows that he has been an avowed candi
date for goveronr ever since he began paying his poll tax.
li the professor voted in the various city, school, congressional general and
primary elections the live years he failed to pay his poll tax, he committed each
time an indictable offense. If he did not vote he was derelict in his duties as a
citizen, and is not worthy of the support of the taxpayers for any position, much
less tor governor of the great State of Arkansas. He has been professor of politi
cal economy in the university ;his main idea of political economy appears to be tax
dodging. A great teacher to instill into the rising youths of the land the prin
ciple.- of good government, when it appeal's he himself was shirking the first
principles ol citizenship! He tries to compare himself with Woodrow Wilson
(what a shame!). He is due the president an apology. If he did go to school to
Wilson. Wilson couldn’t help it; however, the facts are that he did not go to
President W ilson, but was in another university where Wilson occasionally lec
tured. W oodrow Wilson was president of one of the greatest universities of Amer
ica for man\ years,hut Dr.Brough has never been mentioned, not even thought of,
by any of the university boards as being qualified for the position of president
of the University of Arkansas.
1 am a native of Arkansas and have been a taxpayer ever since 1 was twen
ty-one years of age; I do not believe the good people of Arkansas will defeat me
for governor and nominate a man with Pennsylvania ancestors, who is merely
passing through this State. 1 have faith in the good people of Arkansas and I
submit my candidacy to them.
/1 Very respectfully,
Earl W. Hodges,
Candidate !oi Governor c»f Arkansas.
