The business men Of Ohio have
ulous lobbyists which has lived of
their generosity and gulIibiIity. This
gang has made the business men be-
lieve that the general assembly was
always about to make raid on their
treasures and that large sums OF mon
ey were needed at Columbus TO pro-
tect their interests" The business
men have "shelled" out and taken
their medicine without complaint. A
horde of professional grafters has
thus lived without work for about
20 years.
The attack that is being made on.
the Lloyd bill, which provides for the
budget system in state financial mat
ters, offers clear example as TO how
the lobbyists arouse the apprehen-
sions Of business men. The oppon-
ents of this measure are falsely as
serting that it will enable the COVER
nor to build up an immense political
machine. They aver that 1t is waste
full and will add to the burdens Of the
tax payers. Business interests will be
harmed by the law, is another arg
ument used
The Lloyd bill. merely does away
with the reckless. careless and i'm
provident system the state has had
for making appropriations for govern
mental expenses and substitutes
of state departments, ali jealous for
their pet schemes, have been sub
mitting estimates of money needed for
their expenses direct 20 the assembly
The latter body, without making an
investigation, accepted these recon-
mendations and appropriated from
S9,000,OOO to s10,00e,0eo each year
No one will contend thgt was policy.
Under the Lloyd law. the heads of de,
partments will be required TO submit
their estimates to the governor who
will have all the items scanned close
ly, will cause Investigations TO be
made into the merit Of each and he
will then make recommendations to
the general assembly These will be
a great deal more reliable and the sol
ons will no longer have 70 grope Ia
the dark on such matters.
In addition the measure authorizes
Investigations of administrations in
all state departments. New plans will
be practiced, whereby unnecessary
help may be eliminated, pay rolls cut
and scientific and economic systems
generally inaugurated. II is expected
TO save million dollars a year in the
running expenses OF the state govern
ment.

Pain. Saves Money.

Why not use little paint occasion
ally? 1t prolongs the life of the build
ings, adds value to the price of the
farm and helps to make "home beau
tiful." Buildings last 20 to 90 per cent
longer If painted. That means that a
building which would last 6fty to sew
enty-fve years unpainted would last
75 to l25 years If painted. 1t is the
same with fences and farm imple-
ments. 1t is easy to see that paint
saves money.-Kansas Farmer.
