Editor ertiser:-Previous 10 the
Present Audit Act. which went into eff
feet in about 1898. the Auditors office
was conducted by one man only. and
/, in a most efficient manner. so far as
the accounts which he passed or audi
tied. were concerned
Geo. ]. Ross was the one man, and
he did the work for several years until
his health broke down by constant la
Dor Che having not even an assistant)
and then Mr.. Geo. Carter. Jas, Castle.
and Mr. Stackable filled the position
consecutiveIy temporarily until Mr.
Laws took the position. under a re-
duction of salary, which Mr.. Ross re-.
fused to accept.
Then comes the New Audit Act rails
ing the expenses of the office from ST.
200 to $27. 900 per period for salaries
and with it more Irregularities than had
ever been known before. Now the point
I wish to make is that an Auditor well
paid-say at old salary $1,000. and As
sistant Auditor say $4,000. stenograph-
er 81. 900 per period, and let them adopt
the original plan of going over the bud
gets in the presence of the clerk who
presents them. so he will be handy to
10
and the work will be done as promptly
and people secure their coin monthly
as promptly as of old. The advantage
of the Assistant. is not because one
man can not do the Office work. but
that he can not continue to do it indef-
nitely without rest, and therefore the
assistant is always available to do the
work necessary TO keep the office con-
stantly open, and at other times the as
sistant Is available to check up books
in the various departments; and then
you have the whole force necessary for
$1,000 per period of two years: and no
additional force necessary to other de-
partments either.
The saving will be $4,000 less $1,000
or $4,000. I should say it was very
good taste for the Auditor to state hei
does not need any more clerical forced
however, it is not the fault of the Aud
much expense to run it. 1t is the fault
of not letting well enough alone when
we had an economical system.
The old system was simply thistle
budget was made up for a certain APP
preparation for one month to date-say
May 81. The Auditor examined each
voucher in the presence of the clerk
who presented them (if he chose to re-
main) and stamped the total on the
back of the summary of the budget and
his name and oflces then the clerk took
the budget to the head of his depart
ment, who signed a draft on the Treas
ury Department for the amount-his
clerk having previously filed out the
the Treasury and settles all bills in the
budget and returns the receipted bud
get to the head of his department. The
Auditor required a duplicate of the
amount of every bill pay roll or budget
and when posted up in his ledger, he
could tell at moments notice the bal
ance of any appropriation.
The present Audit Act has never les
sened the duties in the offices of the
several departments and can not;
therefore why not consider a plan for
reducing expenses in the Audit depart
ment itself. since it has not filed the

forty acres of land. twenty of which are
in coffee and twelve in sugar, four are
laid out into garden patches where
sweet potatoes, carrots, beans, radishes,
onions, beets, turnips, squashes, let
tuce, egg plant, parsley. tomatoes, cab
bage and bananas are raised in suffi-
Gent abundance to literally supply the
tables. THE schools cows furnish the
milk. Which means also homemade
butter and cheese. Enough hens are
raised to furnish the eggs and a few
hives of bees insure honey at regular
intervals. Papaias and g9avas yield
abundantly of their luscious fruit the
year round and in their season bread
fruit, mangoes, alligator pears, rose
apples and pohas are obtainable in
quantities that make us marvel at the
wealth of Nature. Thus from our own
soil and the efforts of the children, who
are the gardeners. does the food supply
largely come. The foods itemized in the
report are staples. as flour, rice, sugar.
salt. etc, so really do not tell the best
part of the story. With fresh vegeta-
bles. fruits, honey, milk, butter and
eggs we are able to live cheaply and
well and without sickness in our midst

A HOPELESS MAN.

SHOULD GO OUT BETWEEN ACTS.
Editor MISUNDERSTANDING an ar
ticle in your paper headed The Man
Behind the Cigar Speaks permit me
a few lines in expressing myself. re-
garding the obnoxious odor of tobacco
in our orpheum last Monday night. and
in fact other nights but more particu-
lariy this night when there was not the
slightest stir of air and the evening was
warm.
The complaint made by THE Wom-
an" is perfectly justifiable, for the
clothes one wears are unbearable after
ones departure from the volume of
foul air which 1 am sorry to say our
almost only resort that affords enter
tainment for the public is filed with
at times. This statement of why
don't she stay at home?" is, in my es-
timation. impudence. If a man is ad-
dicted to the habit of smoking why not
go out during the intermissions and en-
Joy to his hearts content instead of
making it disagreeable for others.
Women as we'll as men like TO enjoy
the repertoires of good company, and
were it not for women many men would
not go to theatres.
Hoping our incessant smokers will
extend only this little courtesy,

SMOKING AT THE ORPHEUM

Editor Advertiser am deeply in
terested in the letters you have pub
lished about smoking at the Orpheum
and in the discussion they have raised !;
for it seems to me that, if smoking is
prohibited there, it will be impossible
for a man like me. with an olfactory
sense which is unframed to worse
smells, to attend the performances at
all.
1t is this way: I strolled in at a mat
inee where the ladies so greatly pre-
dominated that there was hardly a
lighted cigar in the house. But the at
mosphere was rank with perfumery so
that 1 was almost smothered. There
was cheap perfumery like musk; me-
dium-priced bargain-counter perfum-
cry. two bottles for quarter; the CO.
Iogne Of commerce; high-priced perfum-
cry from the drug stores and cocoanut
oil from a Iuau. had to go out be-
tween every act to get a breath of fresh
air When 1 went home late that after
noon my wife shifted and then fixed me
with an impaIing glance. Where-and
with whom-had 1 been? Why did 1
smell like the assignee of a millinery
store? It was all could do to con-
vince her Of the truth and get nights
rest The next morning when 1 got
ready for church. my hair was so full
OF patchouli that my wife made me
stay at home. My Saturday clothes
were also in such musky evidence that
I had to hang coat and vest and even
trousers on the clothesline where, I'M
fortunately. they were caught in a
shower and badly shrunk. So you can
see, Mr.. Editor. what this addiction OF
ladies to perfumery has cost me.
1 can't say that 1 like smoking over
much, but tobacco is better than the
diabolical mingiing of a thousand drug
scents. So smoke in self defense. So
do we all at the Orpheum. The reason
men don't go to church when they can
help IL is because there one has no de-
fence from the overpowering perfumes.
You can't smoke and must simply sit
there and let the dear ladies give you
a headache But at the Orpheum you
have a remedy.
