and turning the surplus into the
State Treasury as fictitious earnings,
They have asked for the privilege Of
establishing a continuous fund out of
which these expenses are to be paid
instead of making an annual eXorbi-
tant payment. When il runs low an
assessment can be made to replenish
IL. 1t is this unjust eXaction that
Gov. Willis calls a saving. The same
claim has been heretofore made and
il wasn't any more justified then than
IL is now by the present chief eXecu-
tive. What is said about the banking
fund is also true of the state liquor
license fund. In the latter case each
saloon lieensee is taxed S105 a year
for the purpose of supporting the
state department and to pay the sal
aries of the inspectors, clerks and
other attaches. The records show
that upwards of $500,00 in excess of
the actual cost of the department is
collected and turned in as savings"
At their recent state convention the
licensees demanded of GoYrnor Willis
that he spend some of this money to
root out the blind pigs" and blind
tigers" which are flourishing every
where while his political henchmen
in the department are drawing fat
salaries and doing nothing. The tax
payers are not called upon for even
the tenth of a mill for this depart
ment and the claims of great savings
are, as stated at the outset, either
based upon ignorance or duplicity.

Pleasure Trips at State Expense.

Men in private life, when they take
a vacation from their regular work,
usually receive no salaries during their
absence, and they always pay their
own expenses on the trip. Not so with
Ohio officials in the past. 1t had been
the custom for years for members OF
boards, heads Of departments and Off
GERS of institutions, to attend cOnven
lions and other public meetings out
side Ohio at state expense. Most OF
these trips were of no benefit to the
state, and the yearly expense to Ohio
for such junkets was enormously In
creasing. These officials we're absent
on full pay, and in addition their
transportation and hotel bills were
paid, regardless Of the rate per day.
No state official or board had any au,
thorfty to decide on the necessity Of
the trip except the official who made
the journey. Auditor DOnahey refused
to pay the expenses of a number Of
such trips, but in nearly every case
the Encouragement ruled that the law
permitted such attendance at state ex.
pense. When the auditor found this
TO be true, he concluded it was time to
change the law. A bill was drafted
by him and enacted into law provid-
ing that no trip outside the state could
be made at state expense unless au
thorized by the emergency board.

THE MEXICAN CRISIS

[Ohio State Journal, Republican,
1t is not going to be an easy mat
ter to limit our Mexican policy to an
attack on villa. The very attempt
is likely to make him a hero, and at
tract thousands of Mexicns TO his
banner an dthus make him a more
powerful man than Carranza, if it
does no, indeed put him in Carranza's s
place. The national spirit is likely
to be aroused and thus Villa be ac-
claimed as the savior of Mexico.
Then there will indeed be war with
Mexico, and what the president has
been striving for years to prevent fl
nally comes about through a crime,
Just as the European war was start
ed by the shooting Of one Austrian
duke.
But how else could Villas shoot
ing up town in this country and
killing its citizens be met? 1t arOus-
ed the indignation of the whole land
and rightly, too. 1t was something
that would urge a nation to strike
back, and there seemed to be no 9th
er way. It was self-defense. The
natural ipIpTIse of the whole nation
was to pursue the murderer to his
death, without respect to law or ma
tional boundaries. And there we are
in the midst of a bloody fight, and
facing a protest from the man we.
made president of Mexico. The sit
uation is strange one, if not al

A Collection Agency That Col
leeted Nothing.

One of the important and surprising
discoveries made by Auditor DOnahey
after assuming his present duties, was
that there were in the various depart
ments thousands Of outstanding claims
due the state aggregating hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars with seemingly
no one making any systematic effort
to collect the same. 1t hardly seemed
possible that there was no official re-
quired by law to make such collec-
tions. An examination Of Ohio laws
disclosed that Section 20 Of the Cen
eral Code reads as follows:
When an officer or agent of the state
comes into possession Of a claim due and
payable to the state, he shall demand pay
ment thereof +" If he fails to col
leot such claim within sixty days after 1t
comes into his possession, he shall certify
Il to the auditor Of state, specifying the

This statement was made in the
course of a speech in which the for
mer governor placed the present ad-

his own and eulogized President viii
son. Ex-Governor Cox stated, how
ever, that he had no desire again to

had no personal ambition to serve.

THE STORY OF
A HIRED MAN
Continued from last week.

emergencies The state was loaning
its own surplus funds at about 212 per
cent. and borrowing at / per cent A
private citizen who would do anything
so foolish would be sent to a hospital
for insane. In 1913 the auditor Of state
recommended to the governor and gen
eral assembly that direct appropria-
ton be made to the emergency board
for all such emergencies. This was
done and today such emergency allow
ances are paid from the state treasury
under the appropriation act, and the
state has ceased to borrow money from
banks at high rates when it has an
abundance Of its own funds.
These enlarged powers of the emer-
gency board are breaking up a more
far-reaching and reprehensible prac-
tice. On the theory, which was true,
that the general assembly could not
foresee every need of a department,
it had been the custom to permit de
partments to create unauthorized de-
fciencies, or, in other words, spend
more than was appropriated to them,
and then leave it to the next general
assembly to appropriate to cover these
deficiencies. This was done regard
less of the fact that the creation Of an
unauthorized deficiency by the head
Of a department is a crime in Ohio
From March 30, 1906, to April 2S, 1913,
deficiency appropriations by general
assemblies have amounted to $1,S1S,-
10000. The present auditor of state
has denounced this practice and urged
that all allowances for unforeseen emer-
gencies be under the control Of the
emergency board, which consists of the
governor, attorney-general, auditor of
state, and the chairmen Of the finance
committees of the Senate and House. |
The evil has been about stamped out
in Ohio, and it will be entirely eradi- |
Gated whenever general assemblies re-
fuse to appropriate for such unauthor-
lied deficiencies.

ROOSEVELT'S PRESIDENTIAL
SPECIFICATIONS
LCIeNeland PLAIN Dealer }


Theodore Roosevelt's recent state
ment cabled from Trinidad can
scarcely be considered in any other
light than a bid for the Chicago nom
ination. While refusing to enter the
fight at this time for leadership, he
lays down specifications for the Re
publican nominee which no one but
himself can meet.
Nothing is to be hoped from the
present administration, he declares.
All they offer us is a choice between
of hypocrisy and degrees Of
infamy."
But the present administration, he
says, should not be changed for 'one
equally lacking in vision, in moral in
tegrity and in high resolve" Again,
1t would be a mistake to nominate
me unless the country has in its mood
something of the heroic, unless it
feels not only like devoting itself to
ideals, but to the purpose measur-
ably to realize those ideals"
This appears to mean but one
thing-that Mr.. Roosevelt desires the
nomination and challenges his op-
pOnents to keep it from him. Fol-
lowers Of other candidates may as
we'll take this into consideration at
once.

PREPAREDNESS

OF the United States Of America.
Cultivate peace and harmony

itary establishments are, under
any form Of government, inauspic-

particularly hostile to republican
liberty. George Washington TN

you have, in order to subsist 1t,
not only the fair charges Of pay,

contingent and just charges to an
sWer and satisfy, but you have all
the additional knayish charges Of

Continuing a course that is either
ignorant or deliberately deceptive,
Governor Willis is going about the
state telling Of the economics he has
effected in the State Departments,
thereby relieving the burden upon the
taxpayers. Here is an instance of
the duplicity or the denseness he pOr-
trays in his speeches:
He says that he has reduced the
salaries in the State Banking Depart
ment $4,000. AS a matter of fact
most Of the reduction is in the fees
paid to liquidators of failed banks
and not in salaries. There are no
longer any unsOund banks in the
state. Under Governors Harmon and
Cox, acting under the new constitu-
ton placing all banks under state re-
gulation, a score of private concerns,
rotten to the core, were closed up.
One of them owned by Republican
congressman and another by a Rep
ublican member of the General AS
sembly. The liquidatOrs were paid
out of the assets of these banks.
The State Banking Department
does not cost the taxpayers Of Ohio
a penny in the way of levy. 1t is
supported entirely by contributions
from State Banks, which are assess
ed small percentage upon their cap
ital stock to pay the expenses of in
spection and regulation. Bankers
for years have protested that the
state is taking double the amount of
the cost of the department from them

Selection of Newton d. Baker, for
mer Cleveland mayor, as Secretary of
War, will prove to be a wise act.
That President Wilson gave most
careful thought to the choice is evil
denced that it was not made until
within a very few days of the time of
expiration of a temporary tenure.
That more than the idea of political
benefit entered in the selection is best
evidenced by the fact that Mr.. Baker,
himself, knew nothing of the presi-
dents desire until he was offered the
war portfolio.
Mayor" Baker is well worthy of
the place. He is young man, sterl-
ing, strong, of ideals and vision, and
with perfect balance. He is an able
lawyer, a man well rounded in the
public service.
People of Ohio, regardless of poll
tics, are pleased at the selection made
by the president. They believe that
after time the country at large will
join in the applause.
