Morrisyille Messenger
The Messenger is too hard on the
group of men and women who serve
the state, both past and present.
Practically all of them are Just as
good as the state produces. Auditor
Ben Gates, in an address last winter,
hit the nail on the head wien he
called attention to the fact that when
ia man is elected or appointed to an
Official position he is taken out of the
rank and file and directed to seek to
accomplish certain ends. To secure
results almost always means the
spending of money. An official often
sees where and how more could be
brought about If his department had
a larger and more competent person
mel and almost uneonsciously he be
comes a factor in the growth Of de
partments. The increase of depart
mental expenses does not mean thai
the money is stolen. In fact It otter
means that the men in those depart
ments are honestly trying to serve
the state more effectively. Curtail
ment in expense can be brought by
the enforcement of a sensible bulge
system and giving the governor th'
power TO veto items in appropriation
bills without destroying the entir
measure.
