Columbus, o., Jan. 5-Gov. A. L.
Harris has turned into business
reformer in the last week of his
administration. His recommendations
outlining important changes in the
management of departmets of state
which, but few months ago he Wig
orously defended on the political
stump, were the dominant features
Of the convening of the seventy
eighth general assembly in extra
ordinary session
In his message dealing with the
financial affairs of the state Gov.
Harris calls for the enactment OF
legislation that will extend the sys-
tenn of competitive bidding to in
clude all statebl repositories. He
uryes that all banks applying for
the custody of state funds be re-
qwired to submit bids so that the
state may secure the highest prac
ticable rate of interest. In making
this recommendation Gov. Harris
repudiates Charles c. Green, de-
feated Republican candidate for
treasurer. who but last week de.
clared the demand for competitive

AS he prepared to turn over his
office to Judson Harmon. Gov. 1ar-
ris for the first time pays heed TO
the legislative investigation of the
treasury last winter which develop
ed astonishing looseness dn the man
agement of that, as well as other
departments In the state house. He
states in his message that the ex-
isting law under which treasurers
have been parceling money to banks
all over Ohio with httle or no ade-
quate check, has proved unsatis-
factory. In addition to asking for
the competitive system, he SUGGESTS
that the board of deposit be iscreas-
ed by including the governor. and
that no money be deposited in any
bank without the approval of the
chief executive. Revelations in Pitts
burg showing that hank had hribed
officials foe the use of pubic funds
! are said to have played a part In
Inducing the governor to make d
,srecial demand for changes in the
Ohio laws.
In another recommendation Gov.
| Harris admits the truth of campaign
contentious, following the investiga-
tion of a year ago, that the system
of inspection and auditing public
accounts built up by Auditor OF
State Guilbert was TO al intents
and purposes a failure. His messayc
calls for the creation of commits
sion of two, to he named by the
governor. to investigate the report
upon the financial management, prac-
ttces and system of accounts OF the
officers and departments, boards and
institutions of the state. When but
