Mr.. CHM has been in the business

ness man to determine the actual
financial status of his state as 1t
is for him to know what the assets
and liabilities of a bank are from
a study of its statement. In none
of the auditors reports from other
states have | seen an accounting,
showing the classification of ex-
penditures as to the portion that
goes to maintenance and the part
that goes to permanent improve
ments. If I succeed in working out
the system I am installing l expect
one man to be able to handle all
accounts of the numerous state in
stitutions and departments In way
to show what the money is spent
for and also what is eminently nee
essary, to prevent by such classi-
fication the duplication of claims
against the state. While the in
stalling of a practical system of ac
counting has involved large
amount of extra work on the pres
ent office force, when once m cp-
Grafton, it will materially reduce
the volume of work in the office,
and I feel that the good that will
be accomplished by getting the bus
mess of the state on a practical
business basis will more than
repay me for the effort it costs"

LAHOMA.

Oklahoma City, Okla, March T.
Taking and compiling an invoice of
the states property is a task being
completed by j. C. McClelland, state
auditor, and it will be the first time
that detailed statement of what the
state owns and how much it has cost
has been made. The compilation will
include all of the real estate and
buildings of institutions, how much
they cost as an original investment
and what it cost the state to maintain
them.
A preliminary statement issued by
Auditor McClelland shows that since
statehood there has been an aggre-
gate of $1S,OOO,OOO in state warrants
issued against all funds. In the COM
plant about high taxes many have
taken the view that this amount, he
says, represents the running expenses
of the state. Approximately 10000
600 of these warrants, he adds, were
issued to pay for permanent improve
ments, which are now a part of the
states assets, and which will serve
the state for fifty years. The auditor
says in part: s

port of the state auditor 1t should
