Waste contributes to the high cost
of foodstuffs. Retailers could cut ex-

with the practice of rewrapping arti-

Jupiter weighs only about one
quarter as much as the earth. It's
day is short, being only a little
less than 10 hours, and the pecul-
lar thing about it is that the
length of the day is different at
different parts of the planet, as
the period differs as much as six
minutes in different localities.
This peculiar fact proves conclu-
sively that what we see of Jupi-
ter is not the solid surface of the
planet itself, but the upper sur
face of a dense layer Of clouds.
These show certain peculiar mar
kings, about which there will be
more to say in our November

in open defiance of all good taste and
custom, and in at least two of these
instances Governor Cox advised and
approved the appointments.
One of these members of the Gen
eral Assembly thus improperly em-
ployed was Representative NJ. A.
Warnes, of Holmes County, the author
of the infamous Warnes tax law and
the leader of the Democratic majority
in Governor Cox's legislature. In an
especial sense Representative Warnes
was the personal spokesman of Gov
ernor Cox in the House; it was to
him direct that Governor Cox sent his
messengers with executive order as
to Legislative matters; and it was
next to Representative Warnes in the
hall of the House that a clerk from
the Governors Office sat Contrary to

the representative Of the Governor,

the omission of one month the report
indicated that the management had
been an economical one while in fact
the reverse was true, and, as Exam
iner Bliss testifies, the expenditures
were getting "heavier all of the time"
Examiner Bliss testified that during
one months administration of Super
intendent Walters, the Immediate sue
cessor of Mr.. Lattanner, there were
dismissed unnecessary clerks and
liquidating agents whose salaries
alone aggregated $500 month. Ac-
cording to Examiner Bliss what was

thing, why they would have to hunt
long time before they could find it.
There. didn't seem to be any system in
the Office" Mr.. Lattanner left many
bills unpaid, according to the report
of the legislative investigating COM
mittee; and Examiner Bliss declared
that at the end of Superintendent Lat
tanners administration the Depart
ment was actually bankrupt. (Refect
moment: The man who so admins
tered his office, with all the states re-
sources at his back, was closing up
banks and administering the liquida-
tion proceedings of financial institu-
tionsD Although the amount avail
able for the department in 1914 (un-
der Lattanner) was $85, 1922 as COM
pared with $58,130.34 in 1918, Mr..
Lattanner had to appeal to the Cen
eral Assembly for an extra appropri-
alton in order to conduct his depart
ment.
A Contrast - Then and Now.
Against this extravaganza and in
efficiency of Mr.. Lattanners admin
istration, under Governor Cox's re-
gime, there is the showing made by
the present Superintendent of Banks,
Harry T. Hall, under Governor Willis.
In Mr.. Halls report covering the
period from November 16, 1914, to-
June 30, 1915, it was stated that the
number of employees had been reduced
from 38 to 26, and that the payroll
had been reduced $1,000 a month;
and out of the short appropriation.
covering the period from February Is
to June 80, 1915, there was saved
81 ,230.75, which money reverted to the
state. Yet, with decreased payrolls
and expenses, the department en-
larged it's service to the common
wealth, it having snpe fvised s5S state
banks, as against $50 existing at the
close of the last fiscal year.

FARMING OUT OF BANKS
HAS CEASED IN OHIO.

FARMING OUT OF BANKS
HAS CEASED IN OHIO.
The most vicious of all po-
litical traditions is that of
treating a bank in distress as
just an opportunity to reward
a political worker by closing it's
door and making him its liqui-
dator. This tradition makes it
a constant temptation for an
administration to intervene to
wreck a bank rather than to
save it. According to the Wi
mans legislative report, the
last Democratic administration
yielded to the temptation. Its
closing year was an orgy of
political liquidation in the
banking department in which
forty Democratic attorneys
joined, at a cost to depositors
eight times as great as that in
Cured in the first year of the
Willis administration in the
legitimate work of liquidation.
The service which the present
banking regime has performed
is not merely in ending this
oppression of depositOrs but
also in eliminating a semi
piratical custom-a practice as
ruthless as that of the wreck
ers of the Cornish coast. The
farming out of failed banks,
like the farming out of taxes,
has ceased-at least in Ohio
