In a like manner, and as, instead, he
approved the bill and signed 1t, his
administration must be charged with
the full amount of the issue. This will
be done little farther on in this ar
ticle
The next thing to note in the above
schedule is on an item of $3.50, 900
of Carey act money used. This should
be eliminated entirely. Money from
this fund is not raised by taxation.
The use of the fund, therefore, does
not entail taxation to replenlsh 1t. So
whether Carey act moneys are used
or not, 1t neither raises nor lowers
taxes. This fund comes from the sale
of lands donated to the state by the
federal government. The only use OF
the fund is for expenses contracted
! in connection with Carey act projects.
These expenses are separate and
apart from state expenses paid by the
levying of state taxes.
But exact justice to the Haines
schedule cannot be done simply by
striking out this one item for $780,
000 Part Of the item-$14, ,770.2S-
was included in the totad OF appropria-
tions, for that amount was specific
ally appropriated by the Legislature
and this should be stricken also. To
| state 1t otherwise, the governor has
not only unjustly charged the Haines
administration with $150,OO0 of Carey
act money. but he has charged $14,-
TOPS of 1t twice.
This brings up the item Of appro-
priations which was passed for the
time being on account OF the fate dis
closed in the last paragraph. Here
is found an item of 100000 appro-
priated for the Panama exposition.
This should be eliminated also. While
1t Is a direct state expense 1t is
not a regular. ordinary expense. 1t
is an extraordinary expense, which
might have occurred in the governors s
term as we'll as in that OF his prede-
cessor If any fault is found with this
dispensation of the item, then let the
amounts actually spent by the differ
ent administrations be charged to
them separately. Then 1t will be found
that more than half of the entire ap-
preparation was left for the governor
to spend.
The same thing should be done with
another appropriation of 1880 made
to purchase a silver service for the
battleship Idaho. This was an extra

administration.
Thus, to reform the Haines schedule
