Some of the unreliable Democratic
newspapers have been comparing the
cost OF the Attorney Generals Depart
ment at the present time with the cost
OF the last Democratic Attorney Gem
eral under Governor MacCorkle. Let
us compare the cost on the basis OF
the labor performed by each, the only
true way, as shown by the official re-
ports. The first two fiscal years OF
the last Democratic Attorney General
is compared with the first two fiscal
years OF the present Republican adj
ministration. The entire term of four
years would be compared, but no one
can foresee the future work to be done
during the remaining two fiscal years
of the present administration for the
business is constantly growing.

Auditor in the dignified labor of col
lecting the revenues for the support
of the commonwealth is a necessity
to promote the success of an admin
istration and 1t can be said that the
present State Auditor has been zeal
GUS in the collection of the revenues
and the proper enforcement of the
law.
Remarkable changes have been
made in the conduct of the Auditors
office since the days when the Demo-
cratic party ruled the State. In
those days the Office of State Auditor
was on a fee basis, the Auditor being
paid a salary of $4,000 annually, be-
sides the fees from the Insurance
Department, the fees from the Land
Department and fees collected from
corporations. Today all these fees
are paid direct into the State Treas
ury Instead of going into the pockets
of office holders, and today the Audi
tor is paid an annual salary of s4,-
500.
At the same time the offices of
the State Auditor and the Secretary
of State We're placed on salary bas-
is, the Auditor was made the attor-
ney in fact for all foreign corpora
lions and this law has netted the
State since 1t was enacted, $127,9
which otherwise would have gone
into the pockets of individuals, us
ually the Secretary of State.

amounts collected in fees by the
State Auditor and turned into the

Now, all is changed. The railroad
was removed by the work of the resi-
dents. The city placed the canal through

GOVERNMENT WILL
BEAR THE EXPENSE
John Kokas, Greek Leper, VIII
Go Home; But How Is the
Question.

John Kokas, the Greek leper, will be
deported at the expense of the United
States government; that is, under GER
tain conditions the government will
bear the expense. The conditions are
that Ko5as must sign document de-
claring he has been afflicted with lep-
rosy for more than eighteen months and
that he is willing to be deported.
1t is understood that the Greek is
willing to comply with the conditions,
and the letter from the marine bispital
service at Washington, D. c., says The
government will bear the financial out
lay.
AS to how the leper is to be deported
that is, the physical means Of trans-
portation-is a question yet TO be de-
tcrmined Whether he will go to New
York via railroad, aeroplane, bicycle,
motorcycle or just walk is question
