Public Examiners Report.

study Of the elaborate report of Pub
lie Examiner S. T. Johnson shows that
one Of the most important state offices
is in the hands Of a man of the active,
original creative type. There must of
necessity be SO many regular channels of
business, so much red tape, SO many
forms, such a mass of administrative: de-
tail to attend to in most public Offices,
that a majority Of incumbents are con-
tent to look upon themselves as mere
wheels in the machine of administratio ton,
never dreaming that they should direct
the machine and use it according to the
varying necessities and demands of the
times. z~ t-
Mr. Johnson discusses too many diff
ferent. subjects to: make 1t possible to
undertake to comment OH his report in
a comprehensive manner. but there sare
a few features of it which we wish to
bring to the attention of the public.
In the matter of the taxation Of rail
way companies, Mr. Johnson has done an
excellent work in Analysing and investi-
eating their returns Of gross earnings to
the board of railway and warehouse COM
missioners It appears that the railway
commission had never gone behind the
returns prepared by the companies. The
legislature acted wisely in giving Mr..
johnson authority to make, such .investi-
cations as he has made. The examiner 8
recolam endatfon that a. Saluations< Of all
railway properties III the state be made
in order that it can be determined Wheth-
err the rate Of raxation Of railway gross
earnings is uniform with, the rate :of d.
rect taxation Of other property, is an ex-
| ceilent one. We are inclined to think,
! from some rough calculations. that such
a. valuation would show that the rail-
ways are more lightly taxed than other
! corporations, and persons. :.,se., =, .
lit seems to us that Mr.. Johnson's rec
concentrations regarding banks and trust
companies are good. The suggestion that
the banking law be amended to allow state
: banks to make frst-mortgage loans on
farms in this state to an amount not to
exceed 80 per cent of the paid in capital
of the bank. lis an excellent one. It would
; tend to put more money into circulation
in the state and keep it from going else
where for Investment. The recommends
ton that the surplus Of banks be exempt
from taxation is good.
Mr.. Johnson's course in Checking all
: county officers instead Of only the treas
urer and auditor, is commemorate.
The idea that county commissioner
should be required to file bonds making
them responsible for moneys Illegally PAID
