Cun1n1ins Discusses Expenditures

their support and for buildings and
improvements, there was expended in
the first biennial period that l have
named $2.OS3.462.09; for the last per
iod. s3,I14,1S7.97-an increase of ST.
$50. 725SS. If Mr. Porter does not de-
sire to be convicted of unjustly as
sailing the management of his state
he ought to point out wherein the in
crease was improvidenily appropriated
or wrongfully expended. These instr
tutions are in the hands OF board
created partially thru the legislative
labors of the democratic candidate Tor
governor; a board composed OF some
of the most eminent citizens or the
state, who are as Zealously devoted TO
the welfare of the people and as
scrlpulously honest as any men in the
commonwealth The appropriations
were made upon their recommendation,
and have been expended solely under
their supervision.
For the three educational institutions
namely the State University, the
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, and the Normal school, there was
expended in the first biennial period !
have mentioned, SS14,222.20; for the
last biennial period. 1.042,024.5l-teX-
elusive of special taX)-an Increase OF
$727.S02.31.
These amounts, together with Ger
tain appropriations made to complete
the capitol building, to restore the
north wing after, its partial destruction
by fire, and to erect monuments upon
southern battlefelds in memory OF the
soldiers Of the civil war; make up SUD-
stantially the difference between the
expenditures now and in former years.
While | am not In the least respon-
sible for the increase. yet l desire you
to know that l do not now remember
a single appropriation made by the
general assembly which vas not wisely
made. ! stand ready to defend the ac-
ton of the general assembly in these
respects.
Iowa is now erecting buildings at
her various institutions Of a permanent
character, and they are, ] am glad to
say. in architecture as we'll as in con-
struction. commensurate with the
greatness of the state. Iowa is doing
more for her unfortunates than ever
before, and our people are ueeply Siae"
flied to know that it is so. II Mr.. Por-
ter is sincere in his criticism upon the
expenditures of the state. he will has
ten to point out wherein the state is
spending money which it ought not to
spend and if he fails to- do this we
must believe that in his censure he
sought to appeal to prejudice rather
than to patriotism

In the same legislature the standpat-

the democratic management is court

lExtract from Churdan Speech.
Much comment is made in the open
ing address of the democratic candi i
date for governor respecting the
growth and increasing expenses of the
state, and with the fairness which
characteriZes every sentence OF the ad-
dress. the responsibility for all expen-
ditures of the state OF Iowa is placed
upon me. lin all the eloquent SEN
fences, in all the critical conclusions
there Is no suggestion that any other
person is unfaithful or insincere

of a man who has hitherto been so fair
and so loyal to the truth

gent man knows. that with the eXcep-
ton of $1,000 or $4,000 every year a
sum placed at the disposal of the gov
ernor for proper purposes. | have not
had nor has any predecessor III office

the expenditures of the state of Iowa.

enough to so state, that every dollar
expended by any officer of the state
must be appropriated for the purpose

initiating the methods and copying all
most literally the circulars of the rail-
way bureau, he suggests that ] have

because it has cost the state of Iowa
more to discharge its several functions
during recent years than it cost in for
mer years. | have little patience with
this mode Of political attack. 1t is all
ways unfair and rarely successful.
Let us now attend to brief analysis
OF the history of the state in this re-
spect. In its fiscal affairs the state
makes up its accounts for biennial Pc
RODS, and rot for calendar years, and
l will therefore follow this plan.
From July /, 1898 to July 1, 1895. the
expenses Of the state We're $3,667.-

$4.731,764.S3; from July L. 1897 to July

to July /, 1901, s4,42O,193 from July
1901, to July /, 1908, s5,760,1sS.O4;
S29,690.94.
Every penny of these expenditures
was appropriated by general assem-
bly,. The table I have given shows a
great increase, but the inquiry that an
intelligent and patriotic citizen would
make is = have these appropriations
been made wisely, and are the expen-
ditures in accordance with the appro-
priations?

sTENsLAND's SENTENCE.

When Banker Paul Stensland was
sentenced to the penitentiary in 1lli-
nois the majesty of the law was vindi-
Gated His punishment will not atone
for the ruin he has brought into thou
sands of Chicago homes; nor will it
bring back to life the half-dozen who
grew dizzy on the brink of the abyss
he created and so threw themselves
over to fill the grave of the suicide
It WILL however. be q warning to men
intrusted with other peoples money to
hold the trust sacred. Perhaps Stems
lands punishment is not as great as it
Should have been, and some will fear
that the indeterminate sentence may
operate to give him his liberty even
sooner than the law contemplates. But
he at least will have opportunity to re-
fleet on the misery he has caused. In
the solitude of the cell there may come
to him what has been in other minds
that Indirectly at least he was MUIR
derer and an awakened conscience
may give him more punishment than
his victims ever dreamed Of If so,
Stensland will pay dearly for his
| wicked acts.
The misery and despair which Stems
land caused he can never make right,
but his capture and imprisonment will
be an object lesson that will warn
others against committing similar Of
lenses. More and more the people are
demanding that men who violate a
public trust be brought to justice. They
will no longer tolerate heavy fines for
the man who steals millions. He must
pay the penalty of his crime the same
as the burglar or thief who steals dol
lars instead of millions of dollars.
Stensland no doubt was not alone
in his wrecking of the Milwaukee Ave-
nue. Bank and it is to be hoped that
his pleading guilty and taking his med
icine without a fight will not operate
to free his accomplices from the con-
sequences of their completely in his
crime.

nEARsT's NOMINATION..

The nomination of William Randolph
Hearst by the democrats of New York
for governor, marks great epocn IN
American politics. In some respects
il is the most radical step ever taken
by a party since the war; or before. for
that matter. The success of Hearst IN
New York means that he is a presl-
Dental possibility, and Hearst as
presidential candidate means great
realignmellt of the parties. 1t woaid
mean the introduction of the European
system of politics in the United States,
with the conservative progressive class
against the radical, semi socialistic
and socialistic classes. With Hearst
elected governor of New York, what
seemed like certain success for Bryan
in securing the democratic nomination
would BECOME matter OF much uns
certainty, if not probable deteal'
Hearst as the nominee in New YORK
Z, gains practical control OF the party
machinery in that state. AS governor
he could so entrench himself as to
become almost a dictator in New YORK.
He could remove Mayor Mcclellan OF
New York City and place his own
henchmen in that and all the positions
that go with it. That would mean
New York for Hearst in the 1908 con-
yention. New York is necessary to
democratic success. She has furnished
practically every democratic candidate
y FOR president since 1850, with the SIN
= gle exception of Mr.. Bryan, tho Han
cock. who lived on Governors Island
was credited to Pennsylvania and Nc
Cieiian to New Jersey. The state Is the
great prize in the presidential contest.
Z It's electoral votes equal those Of Ne
braska, Colorado, Utah, Washington,
+ wyoming, the Dakotas and Idaho.
What would be the issues in 1908 with
Hearst as the nominee? He does not
represent the principles Of the old
denrocratic party. When Heartst went
into politics he did so not because he
had political ambitions, but to boom
his newspapers. 1t was great sue
cess The more radical and fantastic
his theories and his speeches the more
circulation he gained. With Hearst as
the nominee his party must adopt his
semi-socialstic platforms and princi-
pies. What would be the result? 1t
would be the campaign of 1896 over
Bryanism, socialistic theories for free
silver. The conservative, respectable
element OF. the party would break away
from the party as they revolted in
1896 against the radicalism of Bryan
ism and free silver. Republicans can
look with complacency on the nomin-
alton of Hearst. 1t is to be hoped that
New York will show its manhood and
it's good citizenship by defeating him
hopelessly for the governorship. But
his nomination for the presidency
would make republican success cer-
tain. The people of the United States
are awakened and demanding progress
and reform, but they are not ready to
accept Hearstism and socialism and
will seek their rights where they have
always got them, thru the party of
achievement, of Roosevelt. and all that
republicauisin implies.

He shot the chutes. he Topped the loop
He joined the may dance.

And watched the ponies prance.
He ate hot sausages and things
He ne'er had seen before,
He worl cane by throwing rings
Until his arms were sore,
He walked the board walk all day long
And heard the music play
While rival organs big and strong
In discord grind away,
He drank long mixtures filled with ice,
Ate Holsters and sardines.

And played the slot machines,
He tried to keep the pace in vain;
He did his level best.
He had to hurry home again
Because he needed rest.

IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM.
manson Journal1

The report of Governor Cummins
speech delivered at Churdan, Monday
will be found in this issue. He takes
back not one word he has said in re-
gard to the tariff. He reiterates his
faith in protection, but makes it plair
that certain schedules should be re-
vised by the republican party. If yor
will stop to think you cannot disagree
with what he says in his Churda'
speech. Ii is good enough so that Sen
ator Allison wishes to enter the cam
paign for the governor, and Will, If hi
health will permit. Secretary Wilson
and Shaw will indorse the governor
If Governor cumitins is good enough
for them, he ought TO be good enough
for most any republican in Iowa.

Every voter ought TO look at the
present Iowa campaign from the point
of view of the patriot seeking the pub

The only way the voter can ever get
consideration for his view is to vote
for the candidates who give promise
of carrying it into operation.
So, the voter ought to be governed
neither by the soreness OF Mr.. Perkins.
nor by the ambition OF Mr.. Porter or
of Governor Cumnlns.

A QUEER POLITICAL MIx-,UF
[Muscatine Journal. ]

There are some queer mix-ups in
the political field this fall but the Lee
county democrats have made one
combination which will be hard to
beat, that is the combination not the
candidate. For the legislature they
have nominated a member of the
Anti Saloon League. When we stop
to consider that the democratic party
has always opposed sumptuary laws
of every description it is a little hard
to understand what the Lee county
brethren are driving at.
