The Adair County news., 1915-10-27


thasweat CT their brow, pulling the
pldS line over Lie through hot sum-
me days.
Sch figures are a record of service
to be people, comparable to that ex-
hiIted in the famous Pennsylvania
Stae capitol graft disclosure. I find
thai these Republicans bought a num-
be1 Of chairs at a most exorbitant
prie Tor pages in the Senate Chamber.
Evidently they were preparing for the
exth help charged to the Democrats
at be present time, and find another
Itch of 1915 for easy chairs that are
NEVER used on any occasion, and four
mote sofas amounting to $3.50. 1 find
an tenn of $1,700 for an unnamed num-
Der lOf oak chairs and any amount Of
money expended for more side chairs,
etc.
Mr. Morrow has referred to an item
of Drinking water. The Republican
Administration preceding the present
administration, installed at approx
mately $4,000, plant, a part of which
was for the purpose of furnishing to
the offices in the State Capitol re-
frigerated water, filtered and refrig.
Grated. 1t is a well-known fact, Mr..
Morrew and his associates know, that
this plant, built by his own party, was
and is yet an absolute failure, and
that that never was supplied by this
extensively built plant either filtered
or refrigerated water to any Depart
ment in the State House I consider
1t just as much my right under the
law to provide myself and my asso-
ciates with pure water on hot summer
days when serving the people between
the hours of 700 A: NJ. and 1900 at
midnight, as any other Department in
the State Capitol, and I state that it
has (been customary among most of the
Off ees to purchase and provide drink
ing water just as they have purchased
and provided ice and other small ne
cessities incident to the conduct of
these Offices at the expense of the State
Printing Placed by a Commission.
Mr.. Morrow refers to printing bills
and printing contracts; he mentions
an item ofS~S6,OOO paid in 1912, most
of which was contracted for under n
Republican administration and paid
for by the present administration.
This is, therefore. a part of the deficit
left by the former Republican admin
istration.< He states that all the print
ing in the1So department of Education
was COZ 0act p4~tor by the State Super
intended a{statemeNRt he knoySro+p
be false. III State Superintendent of
Public instruction has no Jurisdiction
under the lawn the matter of letting
q printing contact. He (Mr. Morrow
knows that tie law provides for a
Printing Commission, composed of the
Governor, the Secretary of State, the
Auditor of Publ Accounts, the Attor-
ney Genera and the Treasurer, and
that all rinting contracts let for the
Department Of Education have been
subjefuA 70 the scrutiny and are di-
rectlypndeH the control of the State
Printig Commission, as provided by
law. lie insinuates extravaganza in
the no tier of the amount of printing
done I this Department Mr.. Morrow
endorss in his party platform free
text-bdks,f free printing and a seven
