The matter of financing the mill
tary work in the state in connection
with troop mobilization presents a
serious problem. This is due to the
fact that the expense makes a real
emergency for which the state is i'll
'Prepared under the appropriation
plan. The emergency fund for the fis-
cal year has been dissipated for mat
ters that did not constitute real emer-
gencies and a high record over former
years established. It was used to pay
salaries of additional men selected in
the various departments and to make
up the deficit caused in the misman-
agement of the state fair last year.
'Shortsightedness in the appropria-
tions for various activities and the
need to make up veto losses in the
board of administration also depleted
the fund.
Some months ago when 1t was seen
that the emergency fund was being so
badly bankrupted that there would be
trouble in a real emergency such as
the flood in the Cox administration, or
general riots, in the public prints
citizen of the state called the atten-
tion of Governor Willis to what might
happen, and for his pains he drew
from the governor the undignified de-
Bcription, "an insignificant little
squirt" The dissipation of funds
went merrily on.
Now there is talk of a special ses-
sion of the Legislature to take up the
matter. The situation will be saved
only IL there is need for a hurried
movement of troops and the conse-
quent mastering in of Ohio militia as
