ending Sept. 80:

Note-The figures for 1908 are for
the year ending June 80, but for the
year beginning October l. 1902, and
ending September 80, 1908, they would
be substantially the same.
Examine the table carefully and it
will be seen that the cost of carrying
on the state government for the year
ending September 80, 1908, was more
than two and one quarter millions in
excess OF what it cost during Gov.
Upham's first year of administration
nine years ago. The increase is about
II per cent. while the increase in
population in the same period is less
than 20 per cent.
Is that just increase? Hardly; at
least the people who pay the taxes do
not believe it is. Why, think of it; this
excess means an increase in State taxes
alone of about 81 per year for every
voter of the state, and this in addition
to all other taxes with their increase.
II voter has no property upon which
to pay taxes, this means that the fell
low who has property must pay that
ones increase in addition to his own.
There has been an increase each
year for the ten years, but glance at
the table will make clear that the in
crease IN Gov, La Follettes years over
those of his predecessors is far beyond
any increase noted between other years.
1t is plain therefore, that during
Gov. La Follette's administration the
expenditure of the State government
have enormously increased.
What has been done with the money ?
Admitting that it has been spent
honestly, can it be said that it has
been expended economically? The
facts are that the pay-rolls in the vari-
Gus departments of the state have been
greatly increased; more people are be-
ing employed, and no more work be-
ing done than in former years.
An economical administration is as
necessary to good government as al
honest administration. The people,
who pay the bills, are injured as much
by extravaganza as by dishonesty.
The business of the State should be
transacted upon the same business
principles as are private enterprises,
and public employees should be selected
with the same business principles as
are private enterprises, aid public
employees should be selected with the
same care as are private ones.

washington, u. u, March, III, 1914.
The general condition throughout the
country remains unchanged, and is as
favorable for the administration as any
one could wish. The real trouble is in
the Democratic party, which appears to
be at sea without sail or rudder. Ad-
vices show that young Mr.. Hearst is
making considerable, Roadway in Hi
nOis, and few other states, but old
Democratic politicians ignore him and
his pretentions. AS yet they have found
no issues to place before the people, and
as they have all fallen in line upon
important legislative questions they
have cut the ground from under their
feet.

Gross Extravaganza.
(From the Wisconsin State Journal official
State Paper.)

(From the Wisconsin State Journal, Ufficia
State Paper.)
1t is of vital interest to every tax
payer in Wisconsin whether the public
monies, which he pays in the form oil
taxes, are wisely and economically ex-
pended or not, and whether the annual
expenditure is increasing more rapidly
than the needs Of the state warrant.
There have been grave charges
made that the expenses, under Gov.
La Follette's administration, have
been much higher than in former
years, and that there has been gross
extravaganza. So serious is the nature
of the charges that no one is war
ranted in forming an opinion from
mere hearsay; it is a fact which only
public records can make clear. Those
records are not subject to partisan or
factional bias; they tell the tale of ex-
penditures simply and clearly.
Here is a statement Of State expend.
itures each year for ten years, taken
from the official financial records OF
the state: part of it from the Blue
Book, and the figures for the last year
from the certified statement of the
Secretary Of State and the State Treas
urer.
