SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
HOWARD ON STATE EXPENSE.

That expenditures for goyeFnment
lave increased materially in all states
If the union in the last ten years is
evident from the reports that have
received recently from the state audi
tors through the country" gaid =. 2
Howard, state auditor, in recent
statement. Some Of the figures are
very interesting to the citizenship Of
Oklahoma at this time in view Of the
attacks that are made from time %
time upon Oklahom- state administra-
lion by members OF the party out Of
power in his state.
"My first attention In studying
these statistics has been especially at
tracted to the statistics Of the state OF
Kansas during The last ten years, az
the report Of the state auditor Of that
state shows a very material increase
ii the cost Of state government m
that state during that time. A study
of these statistics show tnat for the
fiscal year 1905 the expenditures for
state government In the state Of Kan
sas, according TO the report Of their
state auditor was $2,739. .S249l, while
for tho fiscal year 1915 the expendi-
lures in that state for state purposes
was s5.302, ,530.5l, which shows ar ir-
crease in the cost for the fiscal year
1915 OF s2.5e2, 70e.e0 over the fisca'
year 1905, being an increase Of over
100 per cent or 10 per cent increase
for each year during that time.
IN comparing cost Of Oklahoma
state government with that Of the
state Of Kansas I find from records
Of this office that for the fiscal year
1903 it cost 10 run the state govern.
ment the sum Of s2,979,0256O eN-
elusive Of appropriations made for
public building purposes while the
same record shows that for the fiscal
year 1915 the cost OF state govern
ment exclusive OF public buildings wlli
be 1888. 1880. It win be observed
from these figures that although
seven years have passed, and during
this time Oklahoma has grown stead
iIy in population, it's increase being
perhaps as large or lager than any
state in the union, that the expendl
lures for state purposes between the
fiscal year 1909 and the fiscal year
1916 have only increased $e10,442 DO;
thus showing that the increase for
state expenses in Oklahoma for tbc
past seven years have beer 20 per
cent or about per cent a year as
against an increase in the state Of
Kansas Of 100 per cent in ten years.
or 10 per cent per year.
In this connection | might also call
attention to the fact that just recently
received the report of the state audi
TOR Of the state Of Ohio, which shows
that the expense Of government in
that state in the last ten years has
increased 1l6 per cent, while their
population has increased only "A per

SWISS MILITARY SYSTEM.

During the discussion Of the pre-
paredness question much has been
said about the Swiss military system
which many contend should be adopt
ed in this country IT Is claimed that
the Swiss plan provides amply for
the defense Of the nation without rails
ing the spectre Of militarism The
method IS thus briefly explained bv
The Wichita Eagle:
when a Swiss boy enters school,
his physical training begins and as he
approaches sixteen he is given rifle
practice and battalion drill. When he
reaches sixteen and until he is TWEEN
ty, he Is given weekly drill every Sun
day morning BY an officer When he
is twenty years Of age the young
Swiss enters service and serves sixty
seven days in a recruiting school. This
Is his longest service From twenty to
twenty-eight he serves thirteen days
NdJ1 Ftdis IlDii NHNiitf -tt5tt ~
thirty-two he does not serve at all
He belongs 10 the first line. From
thirty.two to forty-two he belongs TO
the second line and as such he serves
one week every second year There
IS always in his possession his uni
form and his arms. These are an
nualiy inspected There is no hardship
IN this and no peril Of militarism. But
there Is preparedness. Every Amerf
can should keep in mind Switzerlands
present position in the European war
and remember that on August I, 1914
Switzerland called her citizens TO
arms and on August 3, 1914, the Swiss
army Of 425.00c stood ready for action
at 0 O'Clock in the morning"

Such liquors must be consigned in

The law also forbids carriers to

liquor into the state.
Many Requirements.
Every railroad, express company,
person or other carrier who delivers
shipment of liquor is required to
file a report of such delivery with the
ordinary of the county in which the
delivery was made within three days
after the delivery, and the ordinary
is required to make this report

shall be open to public inspection.
In addition to this the carrier is
required to also keep a record of de-
liveries, tog Their with the name OF
the consignee and the date of the
delivery. which shall be open to the
inspection of the officers of the law
and of any other authorized persons
seeking information.
It is a misdemeanOr for any bank
