yer organized union under the name
pf the brotherhood of Tailors. The ne
sassity for this was pressing. Ruinous
competition had brought this class OF
workers down to point where those
engaged in it could no longer make
decent living 1t was either organize or
auit the business. As every other class
Of business, trade and endeavor has
banded together for mutual protection, it
seemed but logical that those who work
so hard for small pay as these repair
men do should start in to keep their
trade from sinking still deeper into I'M
bearable conditions.
The brotherhood has started out with
over fifty members. Another meeting
will be held tomorrow at the same place
and it is confidently expected that fully
fifty more will join Mt this second

Cost Of State Government COMPARED
Charleston Post.) F.

The Post has been presenting
series OF tabular statements, compiled
from official sources, showing the
comparative cost OF state government
in West Virginia and other common
wealths. Today the figures OF twelve
states are reproduced in single
table. so far as they relate to the
total per capita cost OF government
In those states and the portion Of
that per capita cost chargeable to
elective and appolntlve offices. The
charge has been freely made in
West Virginia that the increase in
thea cost OF government has been due
to the creation of new offices, to the
demands of horde of useless Of
fceholders." This investigation as to
the comparative costs has been under
taken as means of determining
whether or not that charge is based
on facts. Surely. II our state gov
eminent has been managed on q
recklessly extravagant basis in the
matter Of official expenditures. that
fact should appear in an excessive
cost OF such government as COM
pared with frugally administered
commonwealth. and 1t would be n
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-04-26

violent hypothesis to assume that
reckless extravaganza is characteris-
tic of the government of each and
every one Of the twelve states in
cluded in this investigation.
1t appears, however. that only
two Of the twelve states have a lower
total per capita cost than West Vir-
ginla, and not single one of them
is so frugally managed with respect
to the per capita cost of its elective
and appointive Offices. On the aver
age in these twelve commonwealth,
state government costs the citizen
S6.25 a year. In West Virginia the
cost for 1915 was only s2.75. On the
average in these twelve states the ex-
penditures for the maintenance OF
elective Offices cost the individual
citizen seventeen cents a year. In
West Virginia the individual citizen Is
charged only twelve cents for that SER
vice. On the average the twelve states
are expending s1.97 of each citizens
money for the maintenance Of appoin-
tive offices, commission and boards,
where West Virginia is expanding
twenty-six cents per capita. Here is
the tabular statement:
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-04-26

smallest states.
In the third column OF the table
is to be found the per capita cost OF
government for all purposes, running
from $l6.O2 in California down to
S2.23 in South Carolina. In only two
states is the per capita rate lower
than in West Virginia, and as the de-
tailed comparisons hitherto published
in this series show. the West Virginia
excess is fully accounted for in the
amounts respectively devoted to the
cause of education in these three
states.
The fourth column presents the
per capita Of elective offices, the rates
running from ten cents to forty cents
for each inhabitant. The average is
seventeen cents per capita. and the
cost of West Virginia's elective offices
Is twelve cents on each of us. One
state, Wisconsin. beats us two cents
on this item, and three states keep this
item at eleven cents to our twelve
In each of these cases, however, it
should be noted that the amounts ex-
pended on appointive offices are much
larger than the similar expenditures
, in West Virginia.
The fifth and last column of figures
in the table covers those new agencies
Of government which have been con-
stituted in all progressive states to
! meet the development OF new condi-
tions in our social and industrial life.
1t is at this point that the critics are
wont to direct the cry OF "extrava-
Sance' and to charge that useless
officials have been placed on the states
/ payrolls. Yet here we find that no
state Of the twelve has been more
conservative and frugal in its demands
on the taxpayers for the discharge of
these new functions Of government.
Kansas Is the only other one OF the
dozen states named in the table which
has kept its expenditures for this item
at so low rate as the local rate Of
twenty-siX cents per capita.
II the state government of West Vir-
ginia has been conducted on waste
full and extravagant basis, what utter
spendthrifts and prodigals must the
other states OF the union be! These
are typical commonwealth. Some OF
them are under Republican and others
under Democratic administrations
For frugality and economy in the ex-
penditure OF state funds, so far as that
may be determined by the total cost
of administrative departments, not one
OF them has anything on West vir-
ginia. Is it not evident that the
charges Of extravaganza are simply
the old, old plant of the outs who
are seeking to find some means OF per-
suading the voters to put them (the
outs) In place OF the ins2
