MAKING PROGRESS

Bailey gets to go back to the senate
from Texas The Texas idea seems to
bcio- elect first and investigate after
wards, policy that makes the investi-
gatiCn begin to look like a deliberate
farce. How can the Texas legislature
condemn the man they have just hon
pred, knowing the charges against
him ?--TopelSa Capital.
1t is gratifying TO note that the
State Journals morning contemporary
continues to reach the proper point CT
view in time-nor in due time per-
laps, but in time. 1t has been only a
little over two years since the Capital
was advocating that very idea of elect
ing first and Investigating afterwards
in the case of Thomas Todd Kelly.
The result of that policy is well
known. Kelly was reelected state
treasurer. He deposited nearly all the
state funds-over half a million dol
lars-in a shaky bank. The bank
busted and there is now missing from
the state treasury something over
$4,000 which will never be made
good unless it can be collected from
Kelly's surety. The amount lost by
the state would have been some $780,
600 greater had Kelly's friend, Mr..
Devlin, not died.
This all happened within the last
two years and was the direct result of
re-electing Kelly first and investi-
eating him afterwards. The CAPITAL
evidently sees the error of that policy
now.

A NEEDED SYSTEM.

| With a view to making impossible
in the future any such complications
as have involved the last two state
treasurers in charges of shortages,
State Auditor Nation, together with
James E. Cation, an expert accountant,
and State Accountant Gafford, has de-
vised plan to give both the state au-
ditor's office and the state accountant
a record of the daily business of the
state treasurer's office in the receipt OF
state moneys.
All persons who ever expect to be
connected with the state treasury in
the future certainly ought to welcome
such a change in the methods of
keeping the states accounts, for it
will prevent innocent persons from be-
| ing implicated in any shortage in the
| treasury such as have turned up in
the past, for there can be no such
shortage without it's speedy discov-
cry.
If such a system had been in vogue
| during Frank Grimes term of office,
Mr.. Grimes would not have been COM
PEELED to pay over $4,000 back into the
state treasury for shortages which an
expert examination of the state school
fund disclosed.
If such a system had been in vogue
there would never have been any dis
pute about the number of coupons on
the school fund bonds.
If such a system had been in vogue
there would never have been any
Garden City shortage and "a. R.
Brown" incident.
If such a system were now in force
the auditor would not have had the
state treasurer charged with only
100000 last week when Mr.. Kelly
went out of office, but would have had
him charged with the 100000 ap-
proximately that he actually had.
OF course State Treasurer Tully may
so conduct his office that these past
occurrences will not happen again. 1t
is presumed that he will. But to pro-
tect himself against possible errors of
his clerks Mr.. Tully should certainly
be glad to have such a system INSTALL
ed. And then there is a possibility
that at some future time some CRATER
might get into the treasury, and the
sooner the system is installed that will
give the auditors office a complete
check on the treasury, the better for
all concerned.
