matter publicity and then and there
reiterated all he had said in the be-
ginning Of his administration, rela-
tive to the necessity Of legislation
Affecting the creation Of Carey Act
Commission He expressed himself
so forcefully that as a result, in def
erence to his wishes and the ap-
aren't necessity for the Commission,
his party went on record plelging
this legislation if continued in pow
er.
Another fact that is the subject
Of much comment here, and which
is a matter of qualification to the re-
publicans and discomfort to the dem
ocrats is that the revenues of the
state have been greatly increased dur
ing Governor Brady's administration
while its expenses have been kept
TO the lowest possible limit COM
mensurate with an able administra-
ton. The efforts of the democrats
to make it appear that there has
been gross negligence ana extrava-
genco IN tho management Of state
affairs by making a comparison and
for that purpose quoting from the
small sums necessary to run each
department in the years 1901 and
1912 as against the years 1909 and
1910 and ignoring the great growth
of the states business since the years
they take as a bisis of their COM
parison is meeting with no success.
Il may be stated that as evidence
to the reverse is the fact that thru
redemption of S1OS,OOO of the state
of Idaho bonds held by the state
land board, but not due for several
months. c. A. Hastings, the sta1e
treasurer, has brought about an ag-
gregate saving of ,i,o to the state
during the past four months, he pur-
chased approximately S321,OO0 worth
of securities at that much less than
their face value This amount of
money has already been applied for
in farm loans, school bonds and the
purchase of state warrant at 6 per
cent interest These transactions
mean the increased earning power OF
S10S.OOO from the A per cent bas-
is to 6 per cent basis, bringing in
to the general school fund of the
state, S2.16O per year. He also re-
deemed within the past few days As
$1,000 bonds. having a chance 70
purchase these bonds at a great dis
count, purchasing them for $4,000
thereby saving the state $500. He also
redeemed $4,000 of bonds which were
not due for six months and saved tho
state $500 on that transaction. IN
June he redeemed $4,000 worth OF
bonds which were not due. the state
receiving a bonus of fye months IN
terest on the same, another $500 say.
ed. making a total amount of bonds
redeemed $321.OOO within the las;
four months.
