In the placing of credit for the splen-

ing handed to Thomas S. Rhea, of LO-
gan county, State Treasurer who led

Chairman of the Democratic State
Campaign Committee. 1t was an old
time Democratic victory, probably the
greatest in Kentucky in thirty years,
the majority going above anything

that n new division of the court work

One of the arguments for the creation

it would do away with the fees for at

States attorneys in criminal trials and

There is not a citizen of Vermont

1901 and S3s3, 44O.48 in
1913.

Tho Free Press this week presents
another instalment OF state expense
figures furnished by the State auditors
office In response to n request on Tues
day, May 5. for summary of the ex-
pcnse of the telephone hearing to run in
connection with a summary of court ex-
penses." 1t transpires that the serious
Illness Of Mr.. Graham's venerable mother
has detained him In Craftsbury, but his
Office in Montpelier by his direction has
forwarded the desired sfigures.
Some of the papers opposed to State
regulation raised the cry some time ago
that the hearing of complaints against
the telephone companies had cost e300
or sho0co. and the people OF tine state are
entitled 10 know where all of their money
goes through State expenditures.
The reply OF State Auditor Graham
shows that the telephone hearing has
cost a little over $500 so far as bills
have been rendered. and the auditor Is
unable 70 say Just what part of the public
service commissions expenses would have
been incurred. since they would have
been paid their regular salaries without

attorney-general's department. however
the piling up Of expenses has been 80 rapid
and so heavy that it well may astound the
citizens Of Vermont and lead them to de-
mand an explanation of the extraordinary
conditions that have imposed on the tax
PAYERS such an unprecedented and wholly
unexpected burden.
Payments for detective service are the
cause Of the amazing addition TO the cost
OF the attorney generals department. The
auditors figures show that In 1901, before
the office of encouragement was estab-
llshed the States entire outlay for such
service was 1851 10. After the creation OF
that Office in 1906, c. C. Fits as attorney
general certified to bills for detective SER
vice In 1907 amounting to sl.94536. Under
Attorney General Sargent there was a
surprising increase. for on his orders the
State paid in 1911 the sum OF $10.596.23.
That remarkable increase naturally
challenged the attention OF the Governor,
! who, It is understood at that time, cor
templated asking legislation that would
take from the attorney general sol" and
practically absolute power over expendl-
lures for detective service. This request
| was withheld on the representation that
| as Acknowledgement Brown was then Just
entering on his term of office, the desired
end could not be secured by his Statement
| to the Governor. in the presence or the
| State auditor. that during his service ex-
| penditures for detective service would be
| carefully kept down.
| The auditors figures show beyond ques-
ton that nothing of the sort has been
done. Indeed, the bills for detective ser
| vice certified by Acknowledgement Brown
reach total previously unheard OF and
probably never dreamed OF as possible by
those who aided in the creation OF the
office and in comforting on it unrestricted
| powers OF expenditure in this regard,
From July /, 1913 until April 20 of the
present year the auditors accounts show
detective bills were approved by the at
| torney-general to the amount OF S34sSO.9l'
a rate OF expenditure which II continued
| to the end of the year would mean an out
