Senate Pays Doughty For No
Service Rendered
Starting Ia Well On The
Lines Of ECONOMY"

Columbus, o., Jan. 18-In behalf of
economy the Republicans Of the Eigh-
ty.first general assembly have fooled
away two whole weeks without accom-
plishing anything, or even completely
perfecting an organization. The jour.
nails which appeared on the desks of
the members at the closing day Of last
week when adjournment was taken in
dicated that the Senate and the House
had actually met in session and had by
their first act created the numerous
elective positions formerly held by ap-
pointment under civil service, a page
of the Journal being given over to re-
cord the election Of cuspidor cleaners.
Then again In the interest of economy
1t Is recorded that each member Of
the assemly has been voted brand
new set of the general code of Ohio
laws, at twenty-five dollars per head.
But the greatest act of the first two
weeks was that which voted to certain
and sundry gentlemen the sum of fifty
dollars per each for the assistance lent
by them in the organization of the
houses. And just to get in while the
getting is good, some of the men who
stood door duty and carried messages
in the organization of the house two
years ago were included for good
measure. In the discussion of the
house resolution, Representative John
Kramer, Democratic floor leader,
called attention to the fact that good
time for the Republicans to keep a
pledge for economy was now at the
beginning Of the new administration.
He ironically referred to the fact that
If, as charged, there was treasury
deficit then there was all the more rea-
son to hedge on unnecessary expenses,
and get busy in efficient manner. AS
matter of fact, there is no longer any
excuse for the Eighty-flrst general as
sembly to fritter around and fool away
time. The organization Is made, the
gubernatorial message Is read, and the
done, or is it? Anyway an anxious
people wants somebody to be doing
something or get off the job. The time
for platitudes and high sounding
phrases ia past. In other words the
new administration Is expected to
make good in action, or by lack of ac-
tion acknowledge that there is nothing
which they can do to make things bet
ter, as nearly everybody in the state
now is coming to believe.

ment in quicker time. However, when
It comes to handing out presents the
two houses Of the general assembly
run nip and tuck, with the difference
that the senate is more liberal and
goes out into the highways and by.
ways. For evxample, the last act Of
record Of the senate is the vote which
made present Of fifty dollars to Clark
G. Doughty, for assistance In organiza.
tion, when as q matter Of fact Mr..
Doughty did not get any nearer than
the other side Of Broad street. 1t may
be enlightening to know that the pres
ent or the fifty dollars was voted from
the Republican side of the senate, and
in the face of the fact that in caucus
the Democrats would not present
Doughty's name for the vote Of recog-
milton, because they held he was not
entitled to it, having been one of the
insurgents at the last election. BY the
vote of the Republican senate the debt
they owe is acknowledged and paid.

Speaker Conover plans to be czar Of
the house, and the majority is chafing
under the leash. Not member Of the
house was consulted in the makeup Of
committees, and the speaker served
notice that If he wanted any informa.
ton as to the fitness of men he would
ask for 1t. This, taken in connection
with Governor Willis statement to the
press that no one was authorized to
speak or act for him, has the party
members guessing.
With the exception of the Auditor of
State in which A. v. Donahey still re.
mains on guard there is not a Demo.
cratic elective state official in Ohio.
The victorious Republicans are slight.
ly resentful Of the fact that the elec-
ton laws did not permit them to make
clean sweep, but II they would only
stop to consider they would realize
that it was mighty good thing to
have Vic Donahey still at the post of
duty, for the simple reason that his
presence guards against recurrence
of the old treasury scandals. Besides
there is unusual temptation toward ex-
travagance in the great treasury sur
plus, Governor James M. Cox having
surrendered his Office leaving at the
close of his administration the largest
cash balance in the history of the
state. Not only does Ohio now have
the largest cash balance, but this cash
balance is an actual net surplus which
will so continue If the new legislature
adheres to the recommendation made
by Budget Commissioner Heffernan.
