The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1912-10-31

Is the governors duty to advise the
appropriations committee of the
needs of the different state institu-
tions. The governor is furnished with
biennial report of every state insti-
tuition, that sets forth in detail the
work Of the previous two years, and
Its needs for the future; and II these
are extravagant appropriations, he
and he alone, must be held RESPONSE
bic, and not the legislature. It b
common knowledge that Mr.. Hawley
paid no attention to the appropria-
tion bill until 1t was passed down to
him. He vetoed part of some Of
the appropriations; and again, he
showed his lack of knowledge of our
state institutions, for he left some OF
them with too much, and others with
too little. and today some of our state
institutions are operating without q
dollar in the treasury. 1t Is q we'll
known fact that Mr.. Hawley spent
most of his time during the session
defeating a railroad commission bill,
instead Of paying attention to the ex-
cessive appropriations that were be-
ing made by the legislature.
The speaker said that In the ad-
mindstmtion of his own office, Haw-
ley had spent $1,235.32 more in one
year than he (Gooding) had spent in
his nntdra tun uaorc
Relative to the fish and game de-
partment. MIR. Gooding said: dur.
ing my last administration this de-
partment spent $64, 4,309.51; during
Brady's administration, $S4,611.24,
and during Hawley's administration,
$94.139.8S. At the beginning Of my
first administration found the game
department without a dollar In the
treasury, unorganized, and it was not
a factor in the state of Idaho for the
protection of the fish and game inter-
ests. appointed w. N. Stephens
game warden. He served through
my four years as governor, and
through Mr.. Brady's administration.
During those six years that depart
ment built three fish hatcheries- -one
at Standpoint in Bonner county, one
at Hayspur I'm Blaine county, and one
on Warm river In Fremont county,
These hatcheries We're all we'll
equipped and put into operation. He
bought 1400 acres of land and paid
for it, and turned back into the treas
ury $5,445.67. The present adminds-
tration has not spent dollar to en-
large or improve the hatcheries, nor
has it acquired an acre of land. It
has not reimbursed the state $4,000
provided for and long overdue on the
purchase price of Hepburn park.
In many of the counties OF
the state their deputies have rendered
no service to Idaho. for protection of
fish and game They have drawn the
salary and rendered political service.
Next | call your attentions to the
bank commissioner. During my ad-
ministration this office spent 81 ,058.-
80; in Mr.. Brady's administration,
12,359.09; in Mr.. Hawley's admins
tration, $21, ,331.77. Mark the increase.
"The commissioner of immigration
IN my administration cost the state
$10,130.31; during Mr.. Brady's ad-
ministration $2O,24S6S; and during
Mr.. Hawley's administration, $780,
05622.
''The insurance commissioner in my
administration cost the people of
Idaho $11, ,04S.37; in Mr. Brady's ad-
ministration. $14,4O7.11; and during
Mr.. Hawley's administrator, $751;
O57.47. The state engineers de-
partment in my administration cost
the state $13,S9226; during Mr.. Bra
dy's administration, $19,O5S,15; and
during Mr. Hawley's administration.
$2O,7S317.
The expenses of these depart
ments have been doubled and trebled
under the administration of a man
who cried, If | am elected governor,
hold me responsible for any extrava-
gance-I will protect your interests
The speaker then contended that
Governor Hawley's administration
had exercised "'unbridled extrava
gance" in handling the Carey aci
projects. Mr. Gooding claimed also
that the st. Anthony school investiga'
ton had been extravagantly handled
Mr. Gooding assailed the Hawley
cash valuation plan of assessment
and said that it had driven many an
investor from the state" The speak
er claimed that in the assessment val
ues were decreased on railroad. tele
graph and telephone companies.
