Now state departments are finding so
many holes in the law that it may be

Under I. present law the budget
must be prepared and submitted to the

before his meSsS sc on state needs Is
read by the members. On the other
hand. Henry J. Allen, governor-elect,
has spent practically eighteen months
in France. and cannot know of needs
or conditions of state institutions or
departments. There is also big hole
in the law which enables Opposing
parties and factions to play politics.
No definite --'ef from the existin z
evils has been offered-except that
the entire budget program may be
lifted from the governors control and
placed with the state auditor or a
special bipartisan commission which
shall study needs and make recon-

Secs Good in Move.
Washington, Nov. 21.-News of the
coup at Omsk by which Admiral kol-
chalk virtually has become dictator of
the all Russian forces, is regarded by
! the state department as another sign
of Sterilization in the movement re-
lied upon to regenerate Russia. The
great weakness in the situation in ST.
IBERIA, it has been believed for some
time. is the lack of a powerful head
Of the government who cannot be
swayed by popular demonstrations and
who will work toward the re-construc-
! ton of the government with firm
hand. Admiral kolchak is thought to
be man who will not misuse his au
thority and whose hostility toward the
Bo1shevik elements is strong.

, Russians to the west who have been

Lenine and Trotzky. The fact that the

which now has been overturned, were
| duly elected members of the constitu-
! tional assembly, is said to have worked
| against the firm esta blishment of a
stable government Meager reports of
| the situation at Omsk have been re-

official account does not describe fully
what TRANSFERRED. However, such facts
as are known. coupled with other
