The Peoples Business.

Considerable progress has been made
toward putting the business OF the
state of Vermont on basis of slmpli-
city and efficiency, particularly in re-
gard to its system of accounting. This
has been done under authority of No,
81 of the acts of 1919, which, how
ever, does not call for any especially
radical change, except in making the
treasurer the actually disbursing off
Ger of the state and authorizing the
board Of control to regulate methods.
Under the system adopted after care
full investigation of existing methods
by the auditor and treasurer, all funds
are paid direct to the treasurer and all
bills are paid by voucher-check.
The bills are vouched to the auditor,
who checks them carefully, both as to
accuracy and the condition OF the APP
preparation governing the same. Ac-
counts are opened with each appropri-
alton, and the ledger and card index
give an immediate and unfailing check
on them.
The warrants are issued in sheet
form, in duplicate, one copy, properly
certified. going TO the treasurer and
one being bound into loose-leaf book
by the auditor.
The daily balance ledger in the treas
urer's office shows exactly where the
state stands every night, and the APP
preparation ledger shows exactly where
each appropriation stands
The papers, or the person or firm to
whom checks are issued, has nothing
to do with the warrants, which are
kept in the treasurer's Office. The
voucher checks, also written on dupli-
cate, are all that the payee sees of the
transaction after the voucher Is certi-
fed and sent in. These checks are sent
out in window" envelopes, so that
the name and address can be read
through the transparent front, thus
avoiding mistakes in sending checks
to wrong addresses.
Regular reports to the board OF con
troll and a much simplified system of
keeping books give that board close
contact with state business, and, by
virtue of the aforesaid act of the legis-
lature, the governor also employs an
outside auditor to go over the books
once a year This. with the diseon-
tinuance of advances TO state officers
and departments. except for postage
express, etc, makes system which
Is practically intercheeking and which
is balanced each day.
A recent visit to the State House Of
fees showed that six months turn
over" in the treasurer's office totaled
g. 2s4 .5S4.53, which called for issuing
Il. 3sS checks. The receipts Of the Of
fee during the same period were 81
59O.65. about 81 ,322 900 of which came
from bond sales. This large amount i
explained by soldiers and sailors pay
which amounted to Sl,lOs,7e3.S0.
This business Is conducted very much
ike that Of large corporations, and
according TO the opinion Of some we'll
informed business men. Is the most
compact. simple and efficient state sys-
/ tenn in New England. With the state
doing business on such q large scale
