troll on the payrOllS OF the state lnsu-
tutions inside the next few days, pro-
Nfded the state can get the money. The
law provides that the states money
shall be deposited in Des Moines banks
and the money is deposited there. The
payroll of the state institutions from
all funds for August amounted to
sls0,s44.46.
II viii be about November 10 before
ihe machinery moves around to the place
where it is time To pay over the money
to the clerks and employees. The us
ual method Is for the superintendent
OF the state institutions to make out
the payrolls and receipt for the money
In advance. The board of control GER
state auditor makes out warrant FOR
each superintendent for all the money
going to that superintendent. This
warrant the superintendent deposits
and writes check for each employee. 1t
is about the tenth of the month each
time before the employees get their
Checks.
The payroll averages about $4,000
for each institution. 1t is expected that
as the Des Moines banks which have
the states money will not let the
money go out to the country bank, the
country banks may refuse to cash the
checks of the employees.

sas saying that they look to see Chi
cago continue the present arrangement
OF clearing house certificates for per-
paps six weeks. They think that Des
M0ines will discontinue it much soon
er than that State Auditor Carroll
does not expect that the present clear
ing house certificate methods will have
to be long continued. Mr. Roberts,
chief clerk in the banking department
of the auditors office, believes that 1t
will probably be possible to discontin-
ne it at the end Of this week.
All sorts of attempts are being made

saying that Governor Cummins made

relative to enforcement OF the liquor
laws.
on page SO in the House Journal of
1906 and on page % of the Iowa doc
auments for the year 1906, the COVER
nor's message to the legislature of
1905 will be found to say under the
heading '.The Enforcement of the LID
uor Law" as follows:
-Four years Of official observation
nave made 8 deep impression upon my
mind respecting the adequate en-
lorcenaent Of the law relating to the
sale OF intoxicating liquors. Whatever
may be our opinions with regard to
the wisdom Of particular law, we
all agree that so long as it remains
the law it should be oheyed, and that
those who violate It should be pun
ished. There is no greater evil in
this country than the laxity with
which laws are administered. We
very much need the infusion Of a new
spirit into the government that will
not tolerate an intentional failure to
obey and enforce the law. I believe
that our statute for the sale Of In
toxicating liquors needs strengthen
ing with respect to its enforcement.
There are varying opinions as to the
plan that should be adopted, and I
submit the matter as one worthy Of
your consideration, but without rec
9ommendation as to the character Of
tho legislation that should be en-
acted"
AS matter Of fact the governor
also went farther at times and has
repeatedly said that there should be
q Law, giving the governor power to
remove an official. The governor can
call out the state troops most any
time, but 1t is more than likely that
tho newspapers now engaged In max
ing political capital because he does
not call out the troops would make
political capital If he did by pointing
to the enormous and useless expense.
That the governor has the power to
remove county official no sane man
viii contend, because there is not
tread Of law for It. Late Young made
this claim the other day In the Des
Moines Capital f1agrantly disregarding
tho facts in the matter.
