SPENDING THE MONEY

When the sixth legislature appro-
priated SIS, 100000 to care for state
government expenses for the last two
years of the Williams administration
1t almost paralyzed the people of the
state. These same people were DUN
founded when the administration of
]. b. A. Robertson met a deficit of
practically 100000 Included in
that 5.6O0,0O0 was $2,6O0,OOO for
roads. appropriated to meet the fed
eral appropriations But the legisla-
ture just adjourned has probably tx-
ceeded the sixth legislature in ex-
travagance. The total figures are
not at this time available to the writ
er but aconservative estimate of those
who have kept closely in touch with
state appropriations place the figaro
at approximately $17.00O,OO0. These
figures do not include an appropria-
tion Of $3,0O0.OOO necessary to meet
the federal governments allotment
which sum will have to be met later
II the state is to get the benefit of
the governments money. This will
make the total OF money apprpri-
ated to meet the states demands for
the next two years something like
$2O.00O.O00.
1t is the purpose of the administra-
tion. in the event of the approval Of
the gigantic road bond Issue on May
6. to turn sufficient amount of that
money into the state treasury to meet
the demands of the government to get
the road money.
When the legislature four years ago
appropriated a little more than $780,
900. 900 to carry the states business
through two year period 1t was free
ly predicted that the people Of the
state would not stand for Mich reck-
lessness in the use of their money and
that the machine in control would he
repudiated. The work of that lagis-
lature caused more adverse comment
than the much more extravagant ma
ture OF the sixth legislature which ap-
| propriated 33 per cent more. And
now comes another legislature and
| raises the amount eliminating the
| $5O,OOO,000 road bond bill. rs pei
cent higher than the sixth legislature
Not only that but scores Of addi
tional offices have been created ant
salaries have been raised all rounf
and there seems to be no end In sigh
to the limit to which the present po
litical machine in charge of this stat
will go.
1t ID up to the people to take car
of their business-and the states bus
mess is their business-while ther
lis something left. Independent think
ing and voting will do it-nothin
else.

That $5O,QO0,000 is insufficient
to complete the system OF hard sur
faced roads mapped by the recent
legislature was openly admitted by
one of the authors of the measure at
a meeting of the Oklahoma Good
Roads Association at Oklahoma City
last week. "But the people will bs
committed to the system and the
roads will eventually be built" hi
declared. The system as at present
planned consists OF 1892 miles. With
the exercise of the strictest economy
hard surfaced roads will cost an av
erage Of $4,000 per mile.

Criticism

Il feel that the Y M c. A. has
accomplished one or the greatest
talks of similar nature ever at
tempted in behalf of the army and
navy" is the statement made by for
mer chaplain F. NJ. Trout, recently
returned from services overseas. Mr..
Trout is at present secretary OF religi-
Gus education for Virginia, West Viz
GINA. Maryland. Delaware, and the
District <of Columbia. for the
Christian church having headquarters
Ct the Presbyterian building here.
Mr. Trout spent twenty two
months in France. and in his official
capacity as chaplain had ample OPP
portunity to observe conditions con-
nected with religious welfare work
overseas. He states that the Y. NJ. c.
A, was on the Job as we'll as could be
expected in the vast majority of cases
under his ooser' aNcn.
Il feel that the organization. hav-
ing to meet such difficulties as those
Under which i labored, was greatly
handicapped, he said, such things
as constantly moving supply stations
and the constant changing of the
positions OF troops we're difficulties
which could not been forseen, and
greatly retarded the work While I
was still in the American camps on
this side | was convinced that the
Y. VI. c. A. wa3 an unqualified sue
cess. and when | take into considera-
ton the difficulties the " met over
seas | can say the same for its work
over there.
While among the Y NJ. c. A s
representatives as we'll as in other
welfare organizations found men
whom | did not consider fit for posi-
ticns such as they held. realize the
fact that the representatives selected
we're the best available by reason of
the fact that all able -modied men Of
suitable age were in the army or
navy, and | do not believe that the
organization Az n whole should be
critized because of a few inefficient
representatives
Sone' Of the eri.ism directed
against tho Y. Nj. c. A. is the result
Of the boys in the service not being
able TO get all he cigarettes. choco-
lates. and chewing gum and such
sun they wanted at one time But
The fact remains that while the Y
NJ C.. A. was not always in position
to adequately supply the wants of
the men. what wants wero supplied
