TUMBLE OF FIGURES
ALLEGED TO SHOW .
STATE EXPENSES
sLUNDER OF OVER TEN MILLION
DOLLARS INVOLVED IN TEN
OF PECULIAR COMPILATION
AMUSING SERIES OF ERRORS
This Fraudulent Statement Evidently
Intended to Assist Ferris
For Governor

One incident of the present state
persons possessed of the facts. If it.
were not Immediately capable of cre-
ating widespread deception, is a state
ment signed by c. Kent JakeEay, of.
Kent county. puTporting to show state
expenditures for 1920 that reach the,
surprising total of $39,9S1,5S9.
This Jakeway statement makes it.
very evident that he person respons-i
ible for the compilation was totally
ignorant of bookkeeping procedure or
is guilty of a malicious attempt to per-
petrate fraud.
The alleged total oi S39.9S1,589 Of
state expenditures for 1920 is actually
total of the cash handled on state
account during that year and of cash
expended.
In one instance an item of $500
actually expend I'd vas made to appear
as a state expenditure of $685. 1886.
This was done through including the
totals of all debts and credits appear
ing on the books with reference to the
fund involved.
Another and more glaring series of
errors provided either through malice
or ignorance, makes an increase Of
$10,660,31753 over the amount actu-
ally expended. Correction Of this one
item would take mere than 10000 900
from the Jakeway $39,9S1, $4,000 state
ment.
a nrpO 70 tAI
through twice charging amounts bor-
rowed on behalf cf the State High
way department; through more than
twice including the several entries Of
a revolving fund; through charging as
expenditures credits to counties on
work account, paid out and paid in
several times; and finally through
charging to state expenditure account
money received from the federal gov
ernment and paid to the townships in
accordance with the laws for high
way improvements.
The foregoing statements will give
to even the casual reader an under
standing as to the worthless jumbo
of figures out of which the charge of
$39,9S1,5S9, as the total of state ex-
penditures for 1920 are based The
ac.dal total is moro than twelve mil
lion dollars less than the Jakeway
statement makes it.
If Mr.. ferris intends to make any
use of state expenditures as an issue
in behalf of his campaign for COVER
nor he will need to secure the serv-
ices of some one familiar at least with
the primary principles of bookkeep-
ing in order 20 provide figures that he
will not later be required to withdraw
and jisown.

PRAISES HARDING'S
Welfare PROGRAM

Senator Harding's address on social
justice in which he proposed Federal
Department of Rublic Welfare, is the
longest step and practicable proposal
yet taken by any man of official re-
sponsibility," declares Hon. Simeon ID.
Fess, representative in Congress from
Ohio
His program goes directly to the
core OF the problem and demands pro-
lection, first, Of motherhood, by safe
guarding maternity, then Of childhood,
by proper legislation, and through
these the national health against in
vasion Of disease through low stand
ards of morals and commercial ag-
gresson Of industry, which exposes to
epidemics," he said. "He recognizes
social justice not as a woman's prob
lem, but as general problem, In
which women play larger part.
Hence, his specific demands that wom-
EN- be placed on various boards, Fed
eral and State, which have to deal
with problems of employment, labor
adjustment and wherever national
neHlIn is 10 DE ueleTlHl1cu. lllS COH-
Germ must extend to women in agri-
culture, as well as industries.
Senator Harding's sound common
sense prevents his dealing in general
theories at the expense Of practical
results. Alive to the dangers of
bureaucracy, against which he warns,
he asks for reorganization Of our de-
partments at Washington which will
be one Of his earliest tasks, and rec
ommends the creation Of department
Of Public Welfare, to have directions
Of the problem Of social justice. This
will prevent duplication Of agencies
by unifying half dozen bureaus now
doing haphazard work into one re-
sponsible and responsive department
of the government. This step carries
a program Of social justice from the
stage of theoretical speculation to
that Of practical execution, and the
country can expect immediate action
along practical lines"

CANDIDATE rOR GOVERNOR
Is NOT A "STANCPATTER"
Refers to Some Incidents Of Groes-

by Detroit Voters

Candidate Ferris. ir his speech at
Battle Creek. 'radc a serious error
when he charged hat Attorney Gen
eral Groesbeck, The Republican candi'

and reactionary.' From the Detroit
standpoint | am "lad 10 volunteer an
answer to his challenge regarding Mr..
Groesbeck's record" said w. p. Lovett
Secretary Of the Detroit Citizens
League.
IS we have 2 non-parti3an charter
In Detroit, we are no unduly biased
in partisan affairs. therefore | can
spea.- freely concerning the progress
sive record of Mr.. Lroesbeck from a
Detroit angle. At lest three points
should be made.
First. He has co-operated with
progressive groups o. citizens in De-
troit frequently by way of advice and
counsel in the promotion of plans for
reorganization OF our local govern.
ment and the Improvement of admin
istrative methods.
Secondly. To be specific, the reor-
ganized Recorders Court, known as
the new Municipal Court, is the result
OF two years of hlgd work, including
four months campaign in the last
session of the legislature. | believe
'he bill would have died had it not
received the substantial and continu-
2us support Of the Attorney General.

time when it was generally believed
that no bill could possibly be passed.

April fifth last, by 100000 to 10000.
showing the sentiment in our city. Mr..
Groesbeck's service in this case is
complete demonstration of his pro-
gressiye spirit.
Thirdly. We are anticipating a
statewide movement for reorganiza-
tion Of county government. beginning
with the next legislature. Without
hesitation. Mr.. Groesbeck has placed
himself personally and publicly on
record in favor OF a constitutional
amendment permitting home rule for
Michigan counties. In a personal con-
versatlon, he went SO far as 20 state
that reorganization Of state govern.
ment was the problem in which he is
now most interested as a candidate for
governor, hence l understand Charles
S. Mott of Flint, Republican candi-
date preceding the primary election,
his given his whole-hearted support to
Mr.. Groesbeck in mis- campaign.
"Mr Ferris is known widely as a
gentleman Of high character and thor
oughiy good reputation. but it is un-
fortunate that in this campaign he
should either knowingly or ignorantly
distort the record and qualifications of
his principal opponent"

DIERS' PREFERENCE Law

In addition to their favor for his
aggressive work in other directions
the Republican candidate for governor
is receiving almost united support
from former soldiers, including the
members of the American Legion,
by reason of his action as a
state Official in upholGing the consti.
tutionality of the Soldier Preference

conatitutionality and this opinion was
later sustained by Judge Weist in the

GOVERNOR SPROUL
SAYS WOMEN NOT
IN FAVOR OF COX

"Women voters are not for Cox"
says Governor Sproul Of Pennsylvania
and the reasons are not far 10 find
Governor Cox has alienated the affec-
tions of great masses Of American
women. In the first place, it is gen.
orally conceded that his intimate
friends knew that in his heart he did
not want woman's suffrage and that
his statements I'm favor of this meas
ure were only for political effect.
There are a great many travelling
men in this country. They are, as q

travelling men have devoted wives (;

in what their husbands are doing. Cox
lost what friends he may have had

lngly stupid attack on commercial

NOR DOES NOT JUSTIFY RE.

HIGHER TAXES UNDER FERRIS
Better Service Ca. Be Given BY Mr..
Groesbeck Than BY the Demo-
cratic Candidate

w. N. Ferris, the Democratic nom.
inee for governor Is going up and
down the state making statements as
to changes and reforms he will in
troduce at Lansing if Republicans will
elect him.
Mr.. Ferris has already served two
terms a. governor through willingness
Of Republicans to ..ccept his state
ments, and the record he made at
Lansing rather than his promises of
today should decida as to his allege !
non-partisan value.
The record will show that state ex-
penditures were higher under Mr..
Ferris executive direction than they
had aver been before In Michigan his
tory, and that the Ferris state taxes
were greater than before.
1t Is also a matter of record that
Governor Ferris at the opening of his
administration appointed his fellow
partisans to all salaried Offices, turn
ing out Republicans whose experience
and satisfactory service counted for
nothing at all in their behalf.
The alleged n-partisanship of the
Democratic governor was indicated
only by his appointment OF Repub-
licans to positions on state boards to
whict no salary was attached.
And now agaiI Mr.. Ferris is renew.
ing his assurance and willingness to
give Michigan a nol-partisan manage
ment of state affairs He Is persist

the fact that large majority of the
voters c Michigan are favorable >
Republican principles, but at the same
time he is decla irg his owc complete

The Republican candidate for cover.
nor is more than the equal of w. N.
Ferris in official back bone; in informa-
tion and experience as to Michigan
state affairs; in actual accomplishment
relating to state interests and in re-
cogn.tion Of immediate requirements

better transaction of state affairs.
No interest Of the state will be in

LEAGUE IS DOOMED;
II HAS NO POWER
DECLARES EUROPE
EXPECTED TO PREVENT WAR. 1T
CANNOT LIFT A FINGER IN
THAT DIRECTION

Rev. Joseph M. Duff, who has re-
Gently returned from European trip
that included visit to the capitals
of several countries, has given pub
licity to some very vivid impressions
he gathered with reference to Europe
an conditions.
In an article in recent edition of
the Presbyterian Banner DR.. Duff
makes this statement:
Il got clear impression of the gen.
orally prevailing opinion In Europe as
to the League of Nations. It is that il
is doomed to futility. It's main reason
for coming into existence was the pre-
vention OF war, and yet with three
wars In progress the League of Ma.
tions has not liftod a finger.
Recently when the Society for the
Prevention Of War petitioned Lloyd
George to make use of the League of
Nations or any other influence to put
a stop to the bloody struggles that are
now in progress, the British Premier
replied, England cannot furnish
single battalion to the League of Ma.
tions. Italy and France are obligated
to furnish certain troops but neither
one of these governments would be
able to fulfill that obligation
"The simple fact is," concludes DIR.
Duff, that Europe has learned that
her governments can no longer force
soldiers to fight wherever they are or.
dered, and that much less can any
super-government compel soldiers TO
fight, or miners, mechanics or others
to work in the interests of some war
in which they have no vital concern"

parallel in all history. And women
are naturally grateful. So it is that
probably not less than seventy-tive per
cent OF women voters are affili.ting
with the Republican party this year
and will have big share in the VIC
tory at the polls November End.
We women realize that granting Of
the suffrage to us has not ended our
political problems. but begun them
along other lines. Only by educating
ourselves in the fundamentals of cit
izenship and the technique of politics
can we do our share. | hope to see
women's Republican clubs organized
in every county of this state and
hope every club will adopt as it's slo-
gan: Every woman register; every
woman vote!

OF politics" in the Roman Catholic
Church and expressed resentment at
what was termed an attempt to fix re-

Going further, the reply questioned
the right of the writer's to address the
