FRANK CARTER, WATCHDOG.

state Auditor Frank Carter has made OF HIM
self a very efficient watchdog OF the state treas
ury. what his motives may he one need not
inquire. It Is safe always to appraise gentle
mans motives as good and pure 40 long AS his
acts are acceptable. But that Auditor Carter
has saved the taxpayers a very great deal of
money by his courageous opposition to guber-
material profligacy. is II matter beyond dispute
The state executive signed an order" author
izing junket OF ten persons to attend the in
augura of General obregon as president of
Mexico then ordered the expense account paid
because the trip was necessary to the military
service of the state"
The first one OF the Vouchers presented for
payment was promptly rejected by the auditor.
Carter set out three reasons for refusing pay
ment. First tho junkct was IN no sense neces-
sary to the military service of the state; second
Mexico at the time was an outlaw nation not
even recognized by the United States third, IL
was "a pleasure trip pure and simple.
The World has no hesitancy whatever I'm
heartily approving the stand taken 10y the audi
tor lie is right. II the state can be required
to pay such expenses so contracted without any
authorization OF the legislature. It can also be
required to pay any expense that the executive
may be willing 10 endorse as necessary to the
military service of the state" For the Mexican
"trip had no more to do with the proper mill
tary service OF the state than the impending
visit to this country of prince OF siam.

This reason It ls OF prime importance that such
