Representative Boardman "Disinher-
Its" the BunglinG Measure.


The Governor asked whether the
rule as to the two days inhibition, if drawn
upon the Nicholson bill, could not be used
equally against the appropriation bill, which
has not yet been presented to him. He said:
1T is a different case. The passage of an
appropriation bill is mandatory, and it is
the rule always to let this bill have the
right of way and it usually is about the
last thing acted upon. There is unwrit-
ten law that governs matters appropriatfng
money for the support of the government
of the State
In speaking of the caucus bill creating
the office of superintendent of Statehouse
and. public grounds, Governor Matthews
said last night:
1.-THE bill is a remarkable document. Nei-
thar in the title nor the body Of the bill Is
the office of custodian abolished, but the
duties given the superintendent are the
same as his, so that there would be prac-
tically two persons doing the same work.
Then in Section IL, the bill provides that
the superintendent shall have the appoint
ment of Statehouse engineer but the
very last section says that nothing in the
act shall apply to the Statehouse engineer.
/ thought at first that there must have been
an error in the enrolling, and investigated,
but the bill had been enrolled according
to the engrosseds bilEs Then, sent for Mr..
Boardman, who introduced the BILL and
asked him what he wanted to do about 1t.
/ was amused at his answer. Governor,
said he i have disinherited that bill. 1t is
nothing more to me than an iliegitimate
child Now, If should sign the bill 1t
would not stand the test of the courts

Are silver Dollars Dishonest.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1t is said that the silver dollar is a
dishonest dollar. Is not the silver dollar
just what it has always been and just
what it was when it was an honest dol
lar? If it ever was an honest dollar, and
no change has been made in it, how is the
conclusion reached that it Is now dis
honest dollar? If a man was once an
honest man, and no change had taken
place i'm him, would he not still be an
honest man? If you answer that the
silver dollar has become a dishonest dol
lar because the value of silver has de-
preciated, then would not the gold dol
lar become a dishonest dollar if gold should
be mined in such unusual quantities as to
lessen its value? And If new discoveries
of gold are to make the gold dollar a
dishonest dollar, as discoveries of new
silver mines have made the silver dol
lar dishonest dollar, then would the dis
covery of new gold mines be harmful or
beneficial to the world? ask these ques-
tions for no other purpose than to draw
out fair discussion of a great subject
in which the people are much Interested

THE DoCKERY COMMISSION.
Reported Saving to the Government
of 1920, 43O Annually.


WASHINGTON, March 10.--A review of
the work done by the Dockery joint COM
mission of Congress- created for the pur-
pose of inquiring into and examining the
status of the law organizing the execu-
tive departments, has been printed. The
greater number of the recommendations
of the commission, so far have been PIT
into practical operation. and have from
time to time been made public The re-
view shows that the entire cost OF the
commission aggregated $41,264, while the
actual annual reductions in the govern
ment expenditures, made as result of its
work. amount TO s607, 591. The reduction,
the review continues, is not for the time
being only, but will continue through each
of the coming years. The commission, how
ever, feels that the expedition of public
business and added security to the gov
eminent in it's methods of accounting I'M
der the new systems inaugurated would
have fully justified its existence, even if
there had been no diminution in expendi-
lures.
A census of the departments gathered
at the direction of the commission, dis
closes the fact that in the executive de-
partments and other government Cstab-
lishments at the national capital, there
are employed 1889 persons, 1861 male and
5,637 female, that of the number employed
in the eight executive departments, the
department of Labor. Civil-service Commits
sion and Fish Commission, which are I'M
der the civil-service law, 1927 are in the
class subject to competitive civl-service OK
animation preliminary to appointment and
3,265 of that number entered the service
after such examination, and that OF the
whole number employed, $3.50 have from
one to nine relatives each in the govern
ment service at Washington.
The commission also reported concur
rent resolution which provided for :. he en-
grossment and enrolling of congressional
acts by printing, which received the APP
prevail of both houses, and the comiuis
sion says it's value from the standpoint
of both accuracy and economy is Illus
trated by the fact that not single error
has occurred under the system up to this
of the benefits which, the review asserts,
have been accomplished as result of the
new accounting system in the treasury,
reported by the commission and subse
quently incorporated in a bill approved by
the President July 81, 1894 The estimated
annual saving resulting from this reform
is put at $239, 400.
Among the recommendations made by the
commission and not acted on relate to
the reorganization of office of the super
viSing architect, contested land classes,
repeal of the land contest act, transfer of
surveys, abolition of the office of Solicitor
of Internal Revenue, bonds of government
officials checking of money orders, aboli-
ton of naval officials at all ports and

taken to the Governor s. Office Saturday aft

the Senate had refused to pass the admin

secretary to say that the Governor would
"get even by refusing to receive any more

WASHINGTON, March 10.-United States
Consul Murphy, at Nuremberg in a re-
port to the State Department, outlines
the schedule of national labor exchange,
which has proved very beneficial in that
Grand Duchy in facilitating the employ
ment OF labor. 1t was instituted in 1892
and every postofflce co-operates in the
transmission of offers of and applicati lions
for employment between wage payers and
wage earners Offers and applications are
addressed to the nearest postmaster on
special postal cards and the applications
registered. The lists arc publicly posted
in all postoffices, in railway stations, hotels
and public houses. The postoffice assumes
no responsibility in the business beyond
the transmission and posting of applica-
tons and offers. The postmaster informs
an applicant by postal card when an offer
of employment is received. A statement
attached shows that during the two years
there were received through this system
1904 applications for employment and 1,7O1
of these applicants secured places. Dur
ing the same time 3,514 employers applied
for help and engaged 4,427.
