LINCOLN, Sept. 24.-(Special. )-Sihce the
publication of facts regarding the letting
OF the contract to construct food elevators
At the asylum at Hastings. Chairman Eaton
OF the state Board Of Public Lands and
%lldings has walked up 70 the fact that
tia the duty OF the board to let these con-
t5hcts and not to turn them over to tho
superintendent. This morning Mr.. Eaton
teiepboned to Or. Kern, the asylum super
intencent, to stop the WORK of constructing
porches at the Institution. This is another
contract which. II is said, Yves delegated
to Dr. Kern.
The food elevator contract Is still under
investigation and though Chairman Eaton
said he knew nothing of the matter. 1t
has developed that he knew all about It.
Secretary Of State Galusha went to Hast
ings this morning and he could not be seen
to deny the statement. Of Eaton that he
had not been authorized to tell DR.. Kern
to let the contract to Earl wescott Eaton
denied positively that the board. had au-
thorized Galusha 10 write the letter, but
from the letter itself and Information re-
oeived from other sources, II Is believed
Chairman Eaton knew every detail OF the
matter.
II IL understood II the food elevators are
paid for out OF the appropriation for main
tenance the asylum will report deficiency
to the mex: legislature. Should deficiency
be reported Governor Mickey win. in all
probability. ask for legislative investiga-

HANDLING PUBLIC MONEYS.

My former recommendations re-
specting the reorganization of the
treasury department are renewed
The first auditor should settle. col
lect and deposit all moneys COMING
to the State, but he should be
wholly unauthorized To issue his
warrant upon the treasurer for anv
sum whatever. The latter duty
should be performed by the second
auditor, who should make no col
lections or deposits, and his war
rants alone shoule be recognized bv
the treasurer. Such a rearrange-
ment, if properly safeguarded by a
system of bookkeeping wherein the
entries of moneys received or paid
out in these three offices could be
identified with accuracy and ease.

protection of the funds of the treas

officials would thus reveal any mis-
take which could be disclosed by
the most efficient business methods.
Nor should this arrangement en-
tail additional cost, for the number
of men required to conduct the en-
tire treasury department. would be
no greater than now.
Why the Commonwealth should
have delayed the Inauguration of
checks so simple and effective is
difficult to understand. We can
not be satisfied with the present
system, for under it we have lost
through the first auditors office,
IN the past forty.years, more than
one hundred and fifty-eight thous-
and dollars (Sl5S, OOO). and we
would have lost much more but
for the honesty of our officials.
The new constitution plainly de-
mands some such readjustment,
for it preScribes that 1.-THE general
assembly shall provide by law for
the establishment and maintenance
of an efficient system of checks and
balances between the offices at the
seat of government entrusted with
the collections, receipt, custody or
disbursement of the revenues of
the State :; and clearly the ommis-
sion of and express constitutional
authorizations for the office of
second auditors is but another
evidence of snch reorganization.
For manifestly it is both economy
and wisdom as we'll as the plain
intent of the constitutional abolish
this Office unless it can be made to
perform a concurrent and effective
check in the management of our
iinances.-From Governor Monta-

of corruption is entirely eliminated

sents field for hopeful work ON
this line. One of the richest Spoils
in that State is the control of the

The salary Of the officer I'm question
is $50 a year. The fees which
are reported to the auditor general
and returned TO the insurance com
missioner amount TO $1,000 or
$4,000 a year. and it j. these fees
alone which are officially recorded
in the public reports of the auditor
general. But, according to the
Press, the public is not made ac-
quainted with Che major portion of
the extent of the fees received by
the department.
The larger fees" il saws.
are those received by the actuary
of the department for making nm
annual valuation ofthe outstanding
policies of Pennsylvania and Mass

These fees range from $4,000 to
