Large Savings Made by
johnson Administration
(By C. X. McClatchy, Jr.)

No government, no matter how
good its reforms, is satisfactory un-
less conducted with economy. A be
wildaring maze of figures have been
published by reactionary newspapers
trying to prove that the administra-
ton of Governor Hiram w. Johnson
has been extravagant and costly. The
question is easily settled if the fig
ures be fairly and accurately pre-
sented.
Dollar for Dollar.
Hiram w. Johnson became COVER
nor with the idea that a dollar Of
state money should purchase as much
for the state as for an individual buy
er. With that idea, he appointed a
state board of control with plenary
ROVER to supervise and regulate al
state expenditures.
Finances Topsy-Turvy.
The financial affairs of the state
were found ali topsy-turvy. Two hun
dred million dollars of state money
bad been expended in twenty years
without an audit and few scraps of
raper to show where it had ever gone.
Heads of various institutions pur-
chased supplies without competitive
bidding. At several institutions there
was actual stealing from the state.
Everywhere was a looseness and lack
of system that would have driven n
private business on the rocks in Il
few years.
State Badly Gouged.
The state printing office furnished
a concrete example. The campaign
expenses of the state printer were
Paid by four business, firms, who in
turn were given a monopoly of all
the business. One order of textbook
paper furnished by one of these firms
cost $4,000. The board of control
refused to accept it, with the result
that paper of the very same quality
was bought under competitive bidding
for $21 900 less. Ink for which the
state before 1911 paid $3.50 a pound
is now being bought for 80 cents a
pound.
Cost Cut in Half.
These and various other IRREGULAR
lies brought about the resignation of
the state printer. An efficient sys-
tenn was inaugurated which reduced
the average cost Of text books AZ per
cent. The textbook fund, which had
been mortgaged $4,000, within year
showed a balance of S162,000
At the Napa State Hospital the
medical superintendent had to return
money on illegal hay purchases
Though he had built himself a %
room house and a bungalow on the
shore of the hospital reservoir, the
PATIENTS rooms and dormitories were
in filthy condition. Good food was
On mis- table, but the patients were
forced to eat food far below the
standard for which the state was pay
ing. A foreman plumber admitted
radding the payroll and several at
tendants confessed peonage in work
