WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

Perhaps the most deplorable fea-
ture of the present situation in Ten
nessee, one that is a disgrace to the
State, is the effort of the chief Patter-
son organ, the Chattanooga Times, to
make partisan capital out of the eff
fort of the Legislature to loot" the
treasury. So far as we have ascer-
tanned that is the only paper that has
sought to make any partisan "thun-
der" out of a situation that should ap-
peal to the dispassionate, sober
thought of all the people, situation
that calls for calm consideration and
deliberate thought, not for a play OF
cheap politics.
The Herald has condemned the fu-
sionists for voting for the loot"
Just as emphatically as it has de-
nounced the regulars" And ii is
lust as sincere in its commentator
of those regulars" who genuinely
and honestly opposed the grab as it
is of the Fusionists who stood up
with the Governor against this un-
pardonable and unconstitutional loot.
loot. The regular" who supported
the measure is just as much entitled

RECKLESS EXTRAVAGANCE.

luently manifested during the past six
years, to unduly waste the people s
money in gratuities and excessive
. salaries. Gov. Hooper has done a
notable public service in inviting the
attention OF the people to some Of the
most fragrant and outrageous exam
] pies of this disposition to reward
political and personal favorites at the
expenses of the State treasury.
For example this Legislature has
had thirtyseven women employees,
while that of two years ago did very
we'll with only seventeen, which was
doubtless twice as many as were nee
essary. There is not an intelligent
businessman in the State who believes
that the two Houses of the Legisla-
ture have transacted enough business
to keep a dozen women engrossing
clerks busy. In addition the House
and Senate have had the largest
staff of other employees they have ev-
er had. Until two years ago the SEN
ate had no journal clerk. Now that
body, which is no larger and trans
acts no more business than formerly,
has a journal clerk and an assistant
and clerks to committees, etc. This
year the House has assistant Jour-
nal clerks although up to two years
ago one clerk was sufficient.
The Governor put his finger on
cancer on the body polite when he
called attention to the extravagant
waste of the peoples money in COM
pensating the clerks of the Senate
and House. Every two years the pay
has been increased until Chis year the
clerks have been allowed the magnifi-
cent sum of $4,000 for copying and in
dexing the journals, a labor tina. any
intelligent, competent man can dc in
six weeks or two months. Members
who vote these sort of sums show a
lack of fidelity to their trust that is
simply appalling.
One of the most disgraceful items
In the appropriation bill lis that pro-
viding a sum of 5000 for rent of
committee room at hotel" room
doubtless occupied also as a sleeping
room for a member Of the Senate.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1911-07-07

This is an unauthorized expenditure
that can be properly characterized by
no milder term than graft"
Salaries of clerks in many depart
ments of the State government were
increased to figure altogether out
of proportion to the work and respon-
sibilities of the position filled. There
are now clerks at the capitol, if this
bill should become a law, who would
receive compensation greater than
that paid to the attorneys general of
the State. There are a large number
of clerks given salaries under this
bill larger than those received by the
bank presidents and cashiers in the
city of Columbia. These latter posi-
tons require business ability of a
high order to fill while the clerkships
are largely given to reward politi-
cal friends and are seldom filled with
a view to qualifications of the ap-
pointee.
Whatever may be the ultimate fate
of the appropriation bill it will have
served a useful purpose if the peo-
pie shall become aroused to the i'm
portance of electing a higher class of
legislators, men who WI! play less
partisan politics and display more in
telligent and disinterested patriotism.

THE ICE CREAM ROUTE.

Out in the rural districts there has
sprung up new industry This is
the establishment of ice cream routes
along the country roads after the Or
der of the rural free delivery routes
which carry to the honest farmer his
daily mail.
At the present season it would ap-
pear the ice cream wagon would be
hailed with joy by the rural po2ula-
ton. At Portsmouth, o., an enter
prising individual has established
two such routes, and is said to be do
ing a flourishing business on both.
Another Portsmouth man has VEN
tured across the Ohio river and has
opened an ice cream line betN cen
two Kentucky towns. He expects to
make a good thing out of it, and
there seems to be no reason why his
expectations should not be realized.
With the mercury toying around the
century mark the thoughts of the ru-
raj residents naturally will turn to
measures of relief and he will yearn
for ice cream even as the heart
panteth for water brooks" 1t is
small consolation to know that the
nearest cold drink stand is a dozen
miles away. On the contrary It is
powerfully helping to know that the
ice cream wagon is on the road ev-
cry day and may be relied upon to ap-
pear at a certain hour with its
freightage of CONCEALED comfort and
sweetness.
The isolation of farm life will be
relieved a whole lot when the ice
cream wagon follows in the wake OF
the rural delivery vehicle. The ice
cream route, it is safe to predict, has
come to stay. 1t is one Of the needs
of the times and it will be Of no
mean value to the back-to-the-farm
Ice cream once a Eare
luxury on the farm, will speedily be-
come a necessity, and the farmer and

A SORRY SPECTACLE.

In persistently opposing the Cana
ian reciprocity agreement because
f the alleged fear that it will work
0 the injury of some interest direct
y represented by them the so-called
'insurgent Republican" Senators are
making a sorry spectacle of them
selves They are proving what many
nave suspected that there was more
lemagogy than patriotism in their
professions of deep loyalty to the peo-
lie and their denunCiation of the in
erests alleged to control the regular
Republicans. 1t proves also that the
people cannot hope to secure a real
revision of the tariff through any
avenue labelled Republican" What
,yer relief we have from the inqul-
rius tariff must come through the
Democratic party, the traditional
oarty of the people.
The insurgents are proving that
after all they are made of clay, very
common clay too. Instead of being
brave and disinterested patriots Of
the purest ray serene they have
demonstrated that they are merely
politicians out for a livelihood. And
the most notable incident of the re-
yelation has ben the utter and COM
plete collapse to the so-called La
Toilette boom for the Presidency.
We hardly hear of Mr.. La Toilette in
connection with that great Office He
has by his persistent and patiently
selfish opposition to the revision of
The tariff SHOWN that his professions
we're of no more sincerity than those
Of any other professional politician.
1t is mighty easy to be a reformer
when yOu are reforming the other
fellow. 1t is an easy thing to point
>At how some reformation might be
made at the expense of another In
terest, but when it comes to reforma-
ton in ones own household it's an
other question. 1t required no moral
courage and no show of patriotism
for the insurgents to oppose the pro-
tective tariff on the products of the
East, but when 1t comes to a reduc-
ton upon the products of their own
States where local opposition il en-
countered 1t another question.

Ollie James, big of brain, big of body
and big of heart, will make that State
great Senator. The retirement OF
Paynter to make way for him is the
beginning of the end Of the reign of
small men in the Dark and Bloody
Ground" which commenced when
Grips Beckham was suddenly ele-
waited to the Goyernorship upon the
murder of the lamented Goebel ele-
ven years ago.
For a time the Beckham machine
was all powerful. 1t forced JOS. c..
S. Blackburn out of the Senate, where
he was one of the leaders and in ev-
cry way a worthy representative Of
the great State of Kentucky, to make
4 place for Paynter an attache OF the
machine. Beckham reserved the
seat then held by McCreary for him
self, but alas the best laid plans, etc.
About four years ago the people got
a square whack at the machine and
they did for it just what the people
of Tennessee did for the Patterson
machine in Tennessee in two cleo
tions last year. A republican Cover
nor was elected and the seat reserv-
ed for Beckham in the Senate is now
occupied by another Republican.
Paynter mas meen me too for
Jos. w. Bailey in the Senate. He has
not hesitated to follow where the
great Texan led and his course has
not been such as to meet the ap-
proval of Kentucky Democrats. He
followed Bailey on the tariff and he
voted with Bailey in the Lorimer
case. Paynter is decided reaction
ary and none too true Democrat.
Democrats everywhere will take
courage and rejoice in the election
of Ollie James to the Senate. 1t is
a good sign. 1t indicates a determin-
alton upon the part of the Demo
Gratis of Kentucky to have genuine
representation in the Senate. Cour-
ageous, able, determined, fighter
every inch of him, Ollie James has a
splendid career in the Senate before
him.

State finances and since the Hon.
Reau e. Folk left the treasurers Of
flee there has been no wise counsel
lor among the fiscal officers Of the
State TO stay the hand of eXtrava-
gance ana loot.
The general appropriation bill,
aside from the private loot of $500 to
each member of the legislature, is an
utterly indefensible piece Of leglsla-
ton. Evidently no account OF the
States ability to pay was taken into
consideration by the members. To
sustain and approve this bill we must
either make preparations to met de-
felt or else increase the tax levy
And it is unthinkable that we must
do either when the present rate has
been ample in the past to take care
of AL the States obligations and in
addition retire $1,OOO,O0O of the
States interest bearing debt.
Gov. Hoopers warning is timely.
We are rushing headlong into pc
riod of wild and reckless eXtrava-
gance that is without parallel in the
history of the State. There is linn
it to the peoples willingness to pay
and that limit has been reached.
This bill makes appropriations ag-
gregating $1,O00,00O more than any
similar bill ever made. This would
require one and a quarter million
bushels of wheat to discharge the OBJ
legations. 1t is more than the assess
ment of many counties of Tennessee
and is more than Maury county, fifth
in the State in wealth, would pay
into the State treasury in score Of
years.
The people of Tennessee need a
higher standard of public service.
Too many top waters are elected to
office; too many men are given high
places who have never in all their
lives shown the slightest capacity for
a proper transaction of even the ordi-
nary affairs of life. In all the long
list of legislators not one showed a
real clear grasp of the States tinan-
cial problems; not one manifested a
clear disinterested knowledge of the
whole situation. Not a single mem
Der took the time nor showed the
ability to demonstrate clearly to his
fellow members a fact that the Gov
ernor makes plain, towit, the utter
inability of the State to stand the
raid contemplated in this bill.
Gov. Hooper has again showed his
clear sighted craftsmanship. He
has again demonstrated his capacity |
as a business man. He has proved |
his fidelity as the servant of the
people. He is the right man in the !
right place. He knows the right and |
has the courage to do it. I

to condemnation as is the Fusionist

40 difference.
If we were amind to make capital
Jut of situation that calls for calm
and judicial consideration we could
all attention to the fact that in the
senate only two Senators voted for
The grab. In the House there less
than a dozen of the forty-nine Flu
sionists who voted the same way. On
the contrary almost the solid ''regu-
lar" vote in the House and q ma
jority of it in the Senate voted at ev-
cry opportunity for the $500 illegal
grab.
In view of these facts. how can any
reasonable being who desires to be
fair and honest in the discussion OF
this matter, shift the responsibility
of the disgraceful loot to the Fusion
Senate only two Fusionists voted for
the grab. In the House there was less
party or factional issue. 1t is an is
sue that rises above and beyond fac
tional lines and one that should be
discussed without any attempt to
arouse prejudice. Every party to
the grab, regardless of his fractional
alignment, should be made to feel
the full measure of the just wrath of
the people.
1t is not question of Fusionist
against regular" but one of the peo-
pie of Tennessee against recreant leg
islators, who have ben false to their
trust and faithless to the constitu-
ton. No man should be saved from
the consequences of his lack of f.
deity to trust merely because of
his political associations.
