Bill Out OF Committee.

Governor SulZer Says Single
Headed Department Measure
Is Held Up To Be Made
Perfect as Possible.
By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Albany. Feb. 26.-HarOld !. Iinman.
minority leader presented figures 20 the
Assembly to-day which. he said showed
immense graft in the highway depart
ment. particularly the maintenance and
repair bureau. They were given in a
speech following his motion for the dis
charge of the Committee on Internal AZ
fairs from consideration of his bill pro-
Nlding for the creation of a non-partiSan
state highway commission Of three mem
bers. The motion was defeated ny a
vote of a to So. but it gave rise to a live
~ argument
Democrats did everything in their power
10 disconccrt the Republican leader until
AssemblNman Cuviller asked him who
the engineer was who gave him his iis
urcs.
Mr.. Finch, he replied. who furnished
the figures TO the Governor commission
OF inquiry. and also 10 the Governor. but
none of which We're made public
This reply took the edge of the desire
OF the Democratic members To interrupt.
Assemblyman Patrie said that to allow
the Governor 10 appoint three highway
commissioners without the consent of the
Senate would give him greater power
than was allowed in Russia.
Question Of Confidence
Haven't YOU got confidence in Cover
nor Sulz.r?" asked Mr.. Hnman. and Nj.
Patr!e was quick TO acknowledge his UNI
dying feat. 10 the Governor.
Charges OF serious nature, Mr.. Hin
man said. nave teeu made against the

Chairman Carlisle. of the probe commits
sion. has announced that some of the
money wasted should be recovered. and
yet nothing has been done Mr.. Reel
still remains in Office as superintendent
of highways. and il is apparently in
tended to keep him in office until this
100000 has been spent. The nature OF
these charges has been suppressed. al
though it has been known to both the
probe commission and TO Governor Sulzcr
from the time they took office
Il protest that II IS unwis. to permit
this vast sum 10 Ge expended 10y the pres
ent commission and by present methods
The charges of graft are SO serious and
the facts so patent that no commission
guilty OF such malfeasanCe in Office should
be permitted 10 remain in power"
MI Hnman gave many figures which
showed heavy losses 10 tne state because
OF the practice Of awarding contracts Tor
maintenance and repairs without bids
Comparison, were made Of the cost of re-
surfaciBg roads under the Hughes COM
mission aud the present commission. The
cost under the former was shown 10 be
about $500 mile less than now. Nj
Hinman said that ne took his figures from

OUR SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL
 SEASON

The bulletin wishes to congratulate the students of the Phoenix union high school on the phenomenal record made
 in football this season. The Coyotes have not only disposed and blanked all their high school opponents but have gone out of their class and trimmed the heavy Indian team. This is a gratifying prelude to the years pro- gram of athletic activities planned by Prof. Jones'
 Credit is due to somebody The bull letin believes that the loyal support of the student body was an undeniable factor in the success of the football team. The splendid work of Coach Geary contributed no little to our vic tories. Without the financial support of the school board and the moral sup port of Principal Stabler our victories would have been impossible. and the men behind the gun, what about them; the boys who demonstrated the super iOrity of their brain and braWn? The bulletin salutes them one and all and then it takes off it's cap and hands the wreath of credit to the one who made of impossibilities realities-Prof Claude D. Jones.
