'DISCONTENT IS
REAL CAUSE
Governor Harmon Tells Ken
lucky Legislature Whence
Demand For Novelties
ALL KINDS OF EyTRAVAGANCE
Not So Much Recall, Initiative
and Referendum AS
Economy.

(By Special Leased Wire 10 New Mexican)
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 20.--Governol
Judson Harmon of Ohio, today warned
the Kentucky state legislature and all
public Office holders 70 analyze theil
own records and see how far they
were responsible for the unrest
which, he said, was making a demand
for innovations in government, gen
orally. Governor Harmon spoke
briefly in answer to a recent invitation
of the legislature. He said in part
Whatever we may think of the inno-
vations in government We are hear
ing so much about, ii behoOves every
one who holds public position TO
make diligent self-search to find
whether any shortcoming on his part
figures in the unrest that the prOpOs-
al Of these changes signifies. While
some doubtless advocate them for
other reasons, the greater number
would not lend an ear without some
real or supposed ground for discon-
tent with public agencies as they are
Direct legislation is aimed at the
law makers as a body and the recall
at the individual members, as we'll at
executive officers as at judges, and
it may fairly be said that the support
these devices receive varies with the
real or supposed need of them. as we'll
as with opinions about the balance Of
advantage in them
Closing, Governor Harmon said; 81
believe the reform most sorely need
ed now is in securing better admins
trative results at less expense.
1T ought not to cost a billion dol
lars year. or over $11 for each man,
woman and child in the country to
maintain the federal government with
its limited functions.
"True these are times of private ex-
travagance, but that is no excuse for
public extravaganza. Everybody may
spend his own money as he pleases,
but public officials spend other peo-
pies money, much of it contributed
under hardships and all of it for pur-
poses which make it sacred for every
patriot.
Federal expenses bear more heav
lily on the people than state and local
expenses because the latter are raised
by taxes on property only, while the
former are chiefly raised by the tariff
on articles consumed.
I'VE need other reforms too. but
this would bring quicker, greater and
more general relief than any other
And reduction of the tariff taxes with
care and economy in public eXpendit'
ures which go hand in hand, are ready
means 10 secure it.

FIRE CRACKERS NOT
DYNAMITE CAUSED RACKET.
President Ryan Explains Mysterious
Memorial Submitted to Con-
vention.

(By Special Leased Wire to New MeXican)
Indianapolis, Feb. 20.--Fire crack
ers in the hall, not dynamite under
non-union steel Jobs" were referred
to in a resolution submitted to the
convention of the International Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers at Rochester, n. Y, in Sep
tember, 1910, according to state
ment' by Frank M. Ryan, president of
the association, today.
Ryan had denied the authenticity of
the resolution, the original copy of
which the federal officials, investigat-
ing the dynamite conspiracy, assert
they have, but today he recalled, he
said, that the measure proposing that
mo more bombs or explosives of any
kind be exploded while this conven-
tion is in session. was introduced.
1T was just a joke" said Ryan and
came about because P. J. NORM of ST.
Louis had put punches of firecrackers
under the chairs of the delegates and
set them off. The explosions startled
all of us.
"The resolution went to the resolu-
tions committee and never was report
ed out. I suppose John Mcnamara
kept it. We did not discuss it be-
cause we knew nothing of the dyna-
hitting plot"
The document came into the hands
of the government with other records
of the Iron Workers Association seiz-
ed in raids of it's Offices.
Twenty-Five explosions destroyed or
damaged property of employers of
non-union iron and steel workmen in
the year preceding the convention, and
according to Ortie E. McManigal, the
confessed dynamiter, he was kept par
ticularly busy just before the national
meeting because ''it was desired to
n axe good effect on the convention .
