MORE ECONOMY NEEDED
A Thousand Dollars a Day Too Much
For More Clerks And Office
Holders At High Salaries,
Is Charge.

indianapolis, Oct. 3.-One thing
that is causing the Indiana demo-
Gratis good deal OF worry just now
is the fact that since they took
charge of the state government
the expenses of the state. so far as
salaries of officials, deputies. clerks.
and assistants, make a total for the
year many thousands of dollars in
excess of anything that the -epubli-
cans ever tried. As has been stated
before in these dispatches. the re-
publicans are preparing to make
campaign issue next year out of thee
fact that II is costing a thousand
dollars or more day more to run
the state now than it did under a
republican administration. The
democrats have been doing a little
figuring and they have found that
this Is true. and they are up in the
air over it. They do not know how
to meet the issue. for the fact stares
them IN the face and they cannot
get away from it.
1t is well remembered that the
democrats took hold Of the state
government under the campaign
promise they made that they would
run things on an economical plan.
and that they would save money for
the taxpayers. They raised a howl
about the number of boards and
commissions that had existed. under
the republican administrations and
the amount of money they cost.
They pointed TO the fact that the
offices were full of clerks and said
that many OF them were unnecessary
The democrats promised to do a
little pruning down of the number
of clerks in the various offices. and
the people undoubtedly had little
of this in their minds when they
voted To turn the state over to the
democrats.
But the result has not been what
was promised. The state has more
employees now than it ever had in its
history before. New clerks have been
cut off. One of the departments
that Is causing the democrats to
worry is the accounting department.
AT first this department started out
on modest scale, and the demo-
Gratis declared they would run it so
economically that the people would
be glad the legislature created the
department The law creating the
public accounting department was
passed by democratic Legislature,
the bill was signed by democratic
governor. and another democratic
legislature strengthened it and in
creased the cost of running it. Both
parties admitted that a public ac-
counting system was desirable and
that it ought to be established, but
nobody ever figured on the democrats
piling up the cost of its mainten-
ence to such an extent as is now the
case.
In the first place, the accounting
board started out with two rooms in
the state house. and few clerks.
until the board had to occupy four
large rooms to accommodate the
army of helpers. and now it is ex-
pected that more room will be need
ed in short time to make room for
more clerks.
