Does Honesty Profit?

right ahead with the rigid enforce
ment of the law. Why will some men,
as soon as they are elevated to an Off
cial position do things like that and
cut off their future political chances?
We believe that the suggestion adj
Vanced i'm the latter part of this par
agraph is untrue. To be honest and
have convictions and the courage to
act them while in public office is not
necessarily political death to man.
This is denied in Mr.. Folks elevation
to the governorship. 1t was his hon
esty and sturdy purpose to do his
duty while he was assistant prosecut-
ing attorney that he ferreted out and
led a successful prosecution against
a gang Of thieving officials in St.
Louis. Instead of this being his
downfall, it was his opportunity to
impress his worth upon a public wait
ing for a deliverer, and he so fearless
~ performed his official duties that
there went up a great sigh of relief
throughout the State of Missouri. Did
this "cut off his future political
chanceS?" On the contrary, 1T was his
abiding honesty and the ability to
achieve the purpose that endeared
him to the great mass of yoemanry
of his State and tnat nominated MIN
and despite the tide against the DEM
ocratic party, elected him governor
while all the remainder of his ticket
was defeated. Thank goodness, the
country is not made up entirely of
politicians and dishonest officials! If
this were true We might expect to see
an honest man fail, but while the
country remains a composite of honest
voters. honesty and ability to do right
Will always meet with approval at the
polls. The course of Governor Folk
is being watched with admiration and
no man in public life today enjoys
more esteem and commentator than
this young hero of the West.

Have a Balance Over.

Washington is not spending all of
its income, but it is pretty close to
it, says the Walla Walla Weekly
Union. During 1904 the total cash
receipts of the state were 4,I1o,-
4oI.67; the total expenditures were
S4,o75,oI7.9o, leaving a balance of
S44,443.77. Of the total expendi-
lures SI,6I3374.6S, were for public
schools and S776,oo were added to
the permanent school fund.
In other words during the year
1904 Washington spent on her public
school system a quarter of million
more than half of her total expendi-
lures during the year. This is due
to the system which prevails here of
collecting all regular taxes by the
state itself and disbursing them to
the different school districts of the
state, in ratio based upon the num-
Der of children in attendance at the
schools in each district.
For general purposes the state ex-
pended 81, 1865 So. The next
largest item of expenditure was $780,
435.I2 for completing the capitol
building. In estimating the future
that item can be left out of the pro-
bable cost of running the state.
With rare humor in a report of the
income and expenditures of state,
the auditor puts down SI3, 1924. 90 as
expended on the grain hatchery"
Careful study of the tables shows
this to mean the cost of grain inspec-
ton, governmental functi on which
carried to the state treasury ST., pol
95 or s., 363,o4 less than it cost.
Captious persons declare the benefits
of the grain inspectors don't equal
the cost. 1t is east to understand
the s., 368 deficit, but hard to &C
count for the .O4 cents.
