Report of Legislative Investigating
Committee

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 CON-
mittee. The message sums up the
work done by the committee, and adds
that the work In the state depart
ments to be investigated probably
will be completed within 80 days.
The Report.
The report handed Governor Hays
follows:
1--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 Mr.. Thomas, has just
handed us his report on this depart
ment. 1t 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. Jobe; administration
of John NJ. Oathout, deceased; admin
istration Of L. L. CoffmaI, and the
administration of M. F. Dickinson to
date
"We are glad to say to your excel
lency that with but one or two eXcep-
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 amy other cause.
"The auditing of this department
has been a very tedious and volumi-
nous task. The business OF all the
other departments Of the state gov
ernment, as we'll as the business Of
all the schools and institutions OF the
state Is transacted through this de-
partment 1t is because of this that
30 much time has been required to
complete this audit.
I'm our opinion there is one change
that should be made in the law gov
erning the issuance Of warrants. They
are now made payable to bearer, but
should be unquestionably be made
payable to order. Under the system,
as it is now, the head of an institu-
tion can issue vouchers to its en-
ployes and present these vouchers to
the auditor and have warrants issued
payable to bearer and he can then
go to the treasurer and cash these
warrants without authority Of the
payee. We are not assuming that any
dishonesty has been practiced in
general way because OF this defect in
the law.
