more than 500 Of this number which

nothing on which to depend but his
personal efforts and his good name,
and for self preservation it was neces.

Wonderling's machine was in rut on

frightened, Wondering kept his head

Only Once Year Did the State
Know Its Financial Standing.

How would you like to do business
with bank that could only strike
balance and exhibit its financial CON
dition once a year? That was the con-
dition in which Auditor Donahey
found the states finances. 1t had been
the policy of the state auditors office
to strike n balance and furnish each
department n statement of its balances
once each year With departmental
vouchers aggreg1tlng many thousands
of dollars that the auditor Of state had
never seen which were floating all
over the state it was impossible to
know at any time. except the end of
the fiscal year, what balances were in
any appropriation. or how much cash
outstanding vouchers We're deducted
a department might have exhausted
its appropriation months before and be
creating an unauthorized deficiency
and the auditor of state know nothing
about it, and he was powerless under
the old system TO prevent such illegal
and criminal transactions. Under the
SYSlGlu lnLIbObItu Ny luc IItotul du-
ditor of state, requiring departments
to first present vouchers to the auditor
of state for proper audit and the is
suance OF warrants, it is now possible
to know any hour Of the day the bal
ance to the credit of any department
and the exact condition of the states
finances The accounting system now
followed in the auditor of states Office
provides for daily balances. and each
month statements are made to each
department exhibiting the balance in
their appropriation accounts; in other
words, the amount to cent which
they still have to meet their running
expenses for the period covered by the
appropriation acts. The wisdom Of
this reform cannot be questioned
This increased labor necessitated the
employment of an additional man.
The taxpayers can determine whether
this additional expense is justified.

Trying to MuzzIe the Auditor.

Both the Democrat and Republican
activities of the auditor of state. They
felt that a strenuous auditor is not de-
sirable in politics. They wanted the
auditor to be nice, harmless little
fellow who would pay all bills pre-
senteC without asking troublesome
questions. The Democrat Legislature
refused to permit Auditor Donahey to
make the budget, and made it part
of the governors duties. The auditor
has the data and the governor has the
job, and Ohio, under such a law, will
never have real budget. But it re-
mained for the present Republican
legislature to carry Off the prize for
petty politics. They cut out of the
appropriation bill the following pro
vision:
The auditor of state is required to with.
hold salaries of heads of departments ano
institutions until the provisions of this
appropriation act are fully complied
with.
1t is probable. if they had not thus
cUrtailed the auditors authority to
fight extravaganza, the total state ex.
penditures of the present adMinistra.
ton for the year ending November Is,
1915, would not have exceeded the to-
tai for the last year under Governor
Cox.
But here is the prize gem of ali theil
craftsmanship. Section 253 of the Gen.
eral Code provided in part:
The auditor of state shall make q imam
cial report to the governor, together aoitA
such remarks and suggestions reIattUe 10 STATE
psdfters as he deenls proper for the cOHsidsrG-
tfOn of the general assembly
The last twentyone words above
quoted were cut out of the law by the
Republican legislature. Evidently re.
marks and suggestions from the audi
tor are not wanted. But even IL they
did cut this provision out of the
law, if occasion demands II, Au-
dttor Donahey will remark" Just the
same
