INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 4. - Econ
Omy in the expenditure OF state funds
is the keynote Of the message which
Gov. Samuel NJ. Ralston read to the
Indiana general assembly at the open
ing OF the seth biennial session here
today. The governor called attention
to instances of extravagance which
had been charged TO both republicans
and dem ocrats alike in past sessions
OF the legislature. He advised that
legislators Of the seth assembly avoid
going TO extremes in either economy
or expenditures, urging, in his own
words, "a policy of rational economy
and nothing more"
Gov. Ra;stun called especial atten-
tion TO charges of extravaganza in
the matter of printing supplies for the
legislature. He recommended the
enactment of a law amending the
present statute to provide for the
purchase of all legislative supplies
through the state bureau of public
printing.
Printing Cost Too High.
The cost of printing bills in the
past has been too great" declared
Gov. Ralston. THE expenditures of
public funds for this work have too
often shown a reckless disregard of
the public interest. You should take
the necessary action TO safeguard the
states in this respect"
In the matter of employees the gov
ernor recommended that care be
taken to employ only the help that is
necessary for carrying on the work Of
the legislature, and he advised the
appropriation of not more than S115,-
600 for the expenses of the session Of
so days
THE general assembly" he said,
cannot carry on its work without as
sistants, clerks and employees. but in
making up its working force, ii should
not feel called upon to create a posi-
ton for everyone who seeks employ
ment No fault should be found with
the citizen who desires to serve his
state in any capacity, but the general
assembly has none of the functions or
an employment bureau beyond its
duty to secure the needful and only
the needful, help to enable its MEM
berS to render the service for which
they have been chosen.
"I would suggest that each house
keep a payroll of its employees show
ing the number of days Of labor per
formed and the amount due each
emplOye the same to be furnished
the auditor of state at the close OF
each week. BY doing this, it would
avoid any irregularities that might
occur in making of appointments OF
those employees"
In the past, the governor said, bills
that were not passed by both houses
have been certified as passed and pub
lication OF them secured before the
mistake was discovered. This was
the cause of useless expense. The
governor urged that such mistakes be
not made during this session.
Gov. RalstOn recommended legis'
lation providing for the registration Of
all lobbyists who are hired by indi-
viduals or corporations with the sec
retary OF state. He urged the MEM
bers of both houses to treat any at
tempt at secret lobbying as an insult.
Good Financial Condition.
A large part of the governors mes
sage was taken up by state finances.
He presented figures showing that the
unsatisfactory financial conditions eX-
tending over period of several years,
had made a very noticeable change
for the better.

BRITISH HAVE A HARD
TIME IN GETTING FED
Officer Tells of Difficulties of
Frying Bacon Over Small
Trench Fire.

LONDON, Jan. THAT British sol
diers on the firing line in West Flan-
ders are having difficulty in getting
enough TO eat is shown by the follow
ing letter from an officer of the Wilt
shire regiment:
NO doubt it would be Of interest
TO you 10 know something about how
we are fed in the trenches. Anything
that one gets is heated over ones own
little fire-which has to De kept very
small FOR obvious reasons. Rather
ought 10 say that the rations are not
dished out very frequently. The food
is brought up under cover OF darkness
the night before by wagon TO a place
about one-half mile from the trench
es and there it Is carried by fatigue
parties right into the trenches. You
can picture yours truly crouching
over a badly burning fire between Z
and in the morning, frying a bit OF
fat, greasy bacon in a dirty. messy
tin lid; and really when one finishes
up by frying a bit Of bread in the
gravy it isn't half bad. If only the
clay and mud wouldn't get into every
thing, and its rather poor fun when
it has rained so hard that it is too wet
for a fire or the wood only smokes in
stead Of burning. Then il is i'm
possible to make tea and we have 10
go without our bacon or eat il prac-
tically raw. Despite our bit of hard
ship we are nevertheless amazed at
the success Of our commissariaC"

SITES
{ From Mondays Daily

(From Mondays Dally)
Lewis e. Smoot, who is said to be
personal representative of the Secre-
tary of Interior, Hon. Franklin X.
Lane, was Cordova visitor yesterday.
He Is passenger on the steamer North
western and made the trip over the
Copper River C Northwestern railway
to Miles and Childs glaciers. The trip
was revelation to Mr.. Smoot and he
was very enthusiastic in his praise
of the wonderful sights he saw and
also the thoroughly equipped road over
which he Travelled. He had evidently
not expected to find such a railroad in
Alaska, judging from his expressions.
From those who talked with Mr..
Smoot it was learned that he was on a
tour of investigation of Alaska harbor
conditions for railroad terminals,
with view to their adaptabilty in
handling the local coal when it is
opened up and ready for market. He
is on his way to Portage Bay and An
chorage, but expects to return to Cor
dova in about three weeks and study
conditions here. This is Mr.. Shoots
first visit to Alaska, and it is under
stood that he is a railrod contractor
in the states.

TRAIL WORK THAT IS NEEDED.

Road Commission being severely criticised by the miners
and prosecors of the interior country for being Disseminated
against the matter of road work The trail over Sour Dough
HILL which largely travelled is in most deporabe condition
and this fact well known to the officials in authority but still
nothing being done to improve it. Petitions and protests
have been filed by those who compelled mush pack
this almost mpassabie roadway, but to avail The
Cordova Chamber of Commerce appealed and took
the matter with Col Richardson and tentative promise of
lief was made after the appropriation available July
but thus far nothing has been done and the

At no time has the Copper River valley been given the
sderation by the Commission that it entitled to- nowh-
standing great country has been retarded in it's
Development by not having necessary trails and if the
where mining being carried extensively accessible
there would naturally be work done and the output the
country increased But then little matter of this sort may
not have bearing with those who expanding not only
the money but also that derived from the people
of the territory.
Only few years ago Cordova contributed 5000 in cash
to assist the Commission in building the trail from
Willow Greek to Chna in order that connection could be
made with the railroad by those desiring to travel the
shortest and best route from Fairbanks to Cordova This
work wholly in the line of duty which should have willingly
been performed by the Commission When the stampede

many thousands of dollars trails to the placer

what proportion the money disposal should expended
