TAKES ISSUE WITH
RICHMOND EDITOR
second Auditor Roosevelt Page De-
tends Conduct of Business of the
state Against Criticism.

To the Editor of The Virginian.
Richmond. Virginia
Sir,--I read in a newspaper of Friday
the account of Mr.. John Stewart Bry
ans address before the Virginia bank
ers In which he expressed the opinion
that the office of the auditor of pub
lie accounts. second auditor OF Vir-
ginia. treasurer and state accountant
would all be consolidated by a bank
cashier.
| should take no notice of tho
statement. except that 1t does the COM
monwealth of Virginia great injus-
tice by suggesting that the states bus
mess is conducted in a slip-shod, un-
tanker-like. uncashier-iike. unbusiness-
like way. Singular as II may seem.
the credit of the state is very dear
to those having charge of her financial
affairs
OF course as hold one of these Of
fces, my statement will be discredited
as biased because OF self Interest. but
as the office wac created in the days
E.of our forefathers and the conventions
of 1S2930. 1880. 1867 and 1902 con-
tinued It, l dare call attention to the
following circumstances to show the
obliquity OF such a comparison. Fortu
omy and efficiency now at work which
no doubt will be glad to have the
benefit of Mr.. Bryans knowledge ON
the subject.
II the banker mentioned by Mr.. Bry-
an were called the governor and the
banks vice president. cashier, teller
and auditor were respectively called
the auditor of public accounts. second
auditor. treasurer and accountant. the
comparison might appear somewhat
analogous. But indeed. there can be
no analogy between the conduct of the
states departments and bank for the
following obvious reasons.
l. ANY person with money II prop
erly introduced can make a deposit in
bank and draw It out upon his sigma
ture being recognized. No one on the
ether hand can pay any neHey-tHte
the treasury Of the state or draw any
therefrom except upon warrant Of one
Of the two auditors of the state. The
reason Is obvious: That the treasurer's
accounts may be regularly checked, and
balanced with the books of the audi
