IN ONE DEPARTMENT A SAVING OF s75oooo POS
sIBLE WITHOUT HARM TO THE SERVICE.
Albany, Jan. (speciaD.-The news that the
supplementary list' Of employees of the Legis-
lature is to be cut off owing to Governor Odelrs
policy of economy has been heard with consid-
cradle dismay by members of the Legislature.
for they paid a good many political debts by
getting the names of friends upon this list. A
reduction of 100000 in the grand total of the
Legislatures expenses is something that po-
litcal party can mention with pride, and there
fore the reduction will probably be made.
George w. Dunn, the chairman Of the
Republican State Committee has had to bear
some of the burdens of the new policy of econ
omy. The abolition of the supplementary list is
said especially to have caused him trouble.
There were many applications for places, and
he had to deny them to all. Finally Mr.. Dunn
mentioned his experience to Governor OdeIl, and
it is said in a business way reminded Mr.. Oden
that when he was chairman of the Republican
State Committee he took part in the filling up
of the supplemental list" with the names Of
various patriots. Mr.. Odell is reported to have
laughed, and replied:
We'll, now that am Governor 1 look upon
the list from different point of view.
If the Legislature reduces it's payroll
nevertheless it will be more in a mood to reduce
those of the State departments and State COM
missions and support Mr. Odell more loyalty in
his policy of abolishing various commissions
and consolidating others. Mr.. OdelI since he be-
came Governor has been having talks with the
head OF one State department after another to
learn all about the cost Of maintaining these
departments. An officer of the State Commits
sion in Lunacy said yesterday that Mr.. odell
already had almost a perfect knowledge Of the
opera of the State Care act. There have
been rumors that Mr.. Odell meditates a thor
ough reorganization Of the State Commission in
Lunacy. He expressed the opinion in his mes
sage that with harm to the institutions
under the care of the State Commission in
Lunacy a saving of at least S750,000 could be
effected in this department, and he frankly said
he would not favor the proposed enlargement
of the State hospitals at Rochester and at
Gowanda.

A Dime Saved on the Lock but
the Horse is Gone!

And now another bank deialcation ia
Vermont, II is the same old story that
the bank examiner or some one else dis
covered a shortage somewhere and "them
commenced an investigation Why
not commence an examination before a
shortage is discovered: The bank ex-
amiuer is not in fault. We are told
that a man was asked to take the posi-
ton of bank examiner and lac declined
not because 4 position of that kind
would not be desirable, but because of
the little importance that the govern
ment seemed to attach to the examina-
ton Of the banks in this state. He
would not take the chances attending
the business of banking while the exam
ination was a mere formal matter, as it
must be from necessity with the small
means appropriated to make the exam
nations. One of the largest and most
important interests in the state, and one
a failure in which hurts many poor peo
pie as we'll as rich, is suffered to 60 on
without an appropriation to look after it
further than to enable man to go round
aud take a hasty passing glance at its
condition in the various locations in the
state. Commissions are established with
authority to examine with full powers
persons and conditions connected with
the railway and other interests in the
state but the interest that requires the
closest scrutiny, that any business man
can see requires a man or board to sit
down in every bank with power to send
for persons and papers, to enquire into
the details of its business in respect to
its assets of every kind, the character
and amount of business outside parties
are doing with the bank, and finally to
sean the relations of the bank with
everybody doing business with it and
its manner of doing business with every
body, this interest we say which requires
more thorough and independent exam
ination than any other, and perhaps all
others, is allowed to go with just enough
means to enable man to run round the
state and take a superficial glance at the
various banks in the state. No man is
safe in undertaking the work of bank
examiner with the niggardly means pro
vided to carry it on We have had only
three bank disasters recently. We may
have enough more to wake the business
men of the state up to the importance
of the situation.
