That the systems of bookkeeping and accounting put into use in the state departments by the legislative auditing committee will result in re- duction of the clerical force at the state capitol and make possible an other auditing of the accounts in one fifth the time required by the present committee. is the statement made in report to Governor Hays. The re- port has been submitted by the com mittee The message sums up the work done by the committees. and adds that the work Tn the state depart ments to be investigated probably will be completed within 30 days.
 The Report.
 The report handed Governor Hays follows:
 We. the committee appointed to audit the state departments and insti- tutions. beg leave to submit to you the following report on the office of the auditor of the state of Arkansas. Our accountant. Mir Thomas, has just handed us his report on this depart ment It includes the report from January l. 1911. to the present time. The time embraced in this report are the last two years of the administra- tion of John R lobe: administration of John Nj Oathout. deceased: admin istration of l.. l.. CoTmar, and tEe administration of NJ. F. Dickinson to date
 We are glad to say to your excel lency that with but one or two eNcop- tions we find that the accounts In this office have been handled in such a way by the different auditors to be above censure or criticism except as to the matter of handling accounts and vouchers. and in regard to this is more largely due to the inadeQuacy of the law and the antiquated system which is used in the department than to any other cause.
 "'rhe auditing of this department has been very tedious and volumi nous task The business of all the other departments of the state roy ernment as well as the business o' all the schools and institutions of 'ht state Is transacted through this te partment- l. Is because of this that so much time has been required to complete this audit
 Tn our opinion there is one change that should be made in the law gov erninc tho issuance Of warrants They are now made payable to bearer. but should be unquestionahly he made payable to order Under the system as II is now. the head of an institu tion can issue vouchers to its en ployes and present these vouchers tt the auditor and have warrants issuec payable to bearer and he can ther go to the treasurer and cash these warrants without authority of th' payec We are not assuming that anN dishonesty has been practiced in ; general way because of this defect fl the law
