Eating $3.50 Meals at State Ex-.
pense.

Ohio has an army of travelling inspec-
tors and employees whose board, trans
portation, lodging and other expenses
costs the state annually $5O0O0O.O0.
Their expense accounts In many cases
were so excessive that the present au-
ditor was unable to understand how
they could legitimately spend so much
for the purposes for which they were
permitted to charge the state The
bills as rendered gave little or no in
formation on this point. TO get ut the
facts and to protect the state from
oVercharges, he now requires that all
travelling state employees must keep
daily itemized expense accounts show
ing specifically for what purposes the
money was spent, and where any eX-
traordinary expense was incurred, re-
quires Il receipt for the same. Under
the new system he found that some
employees were indulglng in $500 and
$3.50 meals and hotels at over $500 per
day. There was no law controlling the
matter, except the lao Of common sense,

never again will Ohio run q hotel at a

quiring itemized expense accounts is
saving the state thousands of dollars
yearly, and the restrictions placed on
the expenses of employees is benefittlns

to spend public funds lavishly for un.

generate into careless, selfish, untrust

lion dollars received from the sale OF
these lands has long ago been dissi-
patcd and the taxpayers of Ohio an
nually dig up $25o00O.00 in taxes to
nav interest on what the state squan-
dered, and will continue to do so for
ever. Of this vast bcquest of govern.
ment land, only n few thousand acres
remain unsold. Auditor Donahey found
this small residue being badly admin
istered. Private corporations and in
dividuals were unlawfully removing
timber, oil, gas, coal, and other min
eral resources for which the schools
were not receiving one cent. He forced
one trespassing oil company to pay
into the state treasury $20,000.00,
which is now credited to the schools
To forever end this spoliation of un-
sold school lands he had a law passed
reserving to the state for the benefit
of schools all the minerals under the
same. The auditor of state is now
leasing such lands for oil, gas and coal
and royalties from leases now in op-

Even the General Assembly Now
Has to Oboy the Law.

A majority of the members of the
general assemblies for fifty years have
conducted their business on the theory
that they were law unto themselves.
They spent as much public money as
they pleased, bought anything they
wanted. and at the end of the session
carried home whatever suited their
fancy. No questions were asked, no
objections offered. The auditors of
state, in the past, never examined their
financial transactions. 1t was not
thought safe to molest those who make
the appropriations. Auditor Donahey
believes it is safe to do anything in
the public service that will prevent
squandering of public funds and the
purloiEing Of public property One of
his first acts was to compel the finance
committees of the Democratic legisla-
ture in 1913 to pay their own ex
penses when visiting the state institu-
tions and present itemized bills for
same before securing payment from
the state. 1t had been the custom pre-
viously for the chairman of these COM
mittees to secure warrant from the
state auditor and go to the state treas
ury before starting on these junkets
and fill their pockets with roll Of
bills and pay these public funds out at
their own sweet will and make no ac-
counting to anybody, although prOmis-
ing so to do. Some members of the
finance committees of the present leg
islature sought to return to the old
plan, stating that they did not have
the money to advance for expenses, but
were informed that the present motto
of the auditor of states Office is "Serv
ice first" Auditor Donahey has made
complete examination of the records
of expenditures, personal and other
wise, of the present general assembly
and its predecessor. Why have not
the financial transactions of former
legislatures been examined?

Pleasure Trips at State Expense.

Men In private life, when they take

usually receive no salaries during their

these trips were of no benefit to the
state, and the yearly expense to Ohio
for such junkets was enormously in

paid, regardless of the rate per day,
No state official or board had any au-
