In the interest of his company, Mr.
McGirr has been making a personal in
vcstigation of the Deer Flat field and

With sweat drops in our eyes,

At the blast of n whistle we go,
For soldier must be there on the

THE HUGHES "PORK"
RECORD

m HE attempt of Candidate
W Hughes to make capital
against the Wilson ad-
ministration on the ground OF
extravaganza has brought from
the New York World this caus-
tic criticism of the Hughes
pork barrel record:
Mr.. Hughes is denouncing President
wilson because there Is extravaganza
in the government OF the United
States. But Mr.. Hughes gave New
York the most extrayagant admins
tration It had ever known.
During the four years previous to
Mr.. Hughes the total appropriations
made by the legislature and signed
by the governor aggregated Sll2,-
slS.l2s.l5. During the four years OF
Mr.. Hughes the total appropriations
made by the legislature and signed
by the governor aggregated Sl5O'-
292.O6C.53. This was an increase Of
E3s,074. s40.3s.
The governor Of New York has
power not vested in the President
Of the United States He can veto
separate items in an appropriation
bill. Yet Mr.. Hughes exercised TINS
power 70 SO little effect that the ap-
propriations for the last year Of his
administrator exceeded those Of the
last year Of the Higgins administra-
tion by more than SO, 100000.
The present Decentralization Of the
state finances began with the Hughes
administration. and when Mr.. Hughes
attacks the Wilson administration for
extrayagance ne inevitably calls at
tention TO one Of the weakest points
IN his own political career.
The cry Of extravaganza IS
very common with men who are
on the outside and seek to get
incide the official circle. At
the late primary election in
Oregon the self-styled econo-
my candidates for the legisla-
ture were uniformly defeated.
The people did not take theli
professions at full face.
Mr.. Hughes New York rec
ord is such that his extraya-
gance charges will not be
taken seriously.
