Governors
Staten emf
To the People of the
State of Michigan:

This is In answer to the mislead-
ing and inaccurate statements be-
ing made regarding the states
finances and expenditures during
my term as Governor. Briefly, am
submitting for your consideration
a short, concise statement, based
on official data and figures, open
to public inspection.
The very bad and wholly unnec-
essary condition of our State
finances which existed prior to
1921 has been largely corrected.
The deficit Of six million dollars,
which the present administration
inherited, has been wiped out and
at present we have very substan-
tlaI surplus in the treasury. operat-
ing and administrative costs for
departments and institutions were
reduced during the fiscal year OF
1921 by s1,s39,617.63 under what
they were In 1920. Your State Tax
for 1922 will be s3,t40,4es.s5 less
than 1t was In 1921 and the lowest
since 1918. These results have
been brought about by the appIica-
ton Of sound business methods to
State affairs and the elimination OF
the old brand Of political manage
ment. Many Of your charitable,
penal and correction institutions
were found to be In q depIorable
condition and these things have
been remedied. We are meeting
their every requirement and so re-
habilitating them that they will
function In the manner and for the
purposes for which they were or
ganized. The sImplification Of gov
ornamental machinery has made II
possible to cut out waste and ex-
travaeance and place our state
activities on the same plane OF effI-
cheney and usefulness az those OF
privately owned enterprises. Be-
yond all this and what 10 equally
important, your government In all
its branches has been kept free
from graft and corruption; free
from control by interests Of any
sort, political or otherwise; free
from the domination Of those VINO
would exploit II for and In their
own Interests.
These thInos should mean much
to W az citizens Of a great Com
monweaIth.

DIRT OR HARD ROADS

Five of us were lined up on the
nearly impossible road few miles
west of Laclede, Linn County, last
month. One of us was stuck in the
deeply ruttcd mudhole, the others
just waiting to get stuck when our
turn came. One car from California,
one from South Dakota, one from
Illinois, one from Nebraska and mine
bearing the Missouri tag. When /
drove up the assembly mud-spattered
visitors hailed me joyfully. "Ah, a
Missourian," said they. Lets leave
him in the mudhole, he deserves it."
"How on earth do you farmers ira
vel such d-n roads ?" asked the
Californian. "We DON'T" answered
the boy with the pulling out" team.
"We wait for'em to dry up. And in
that question and answer you have
the whole story of hard roads and
mud roads. Dry and dragged the
dirt road is incomparably the best.
But take dirt road no matter how
well cared for after a few hours of
heavy rain and motor cars will cut
it to pieces, rutting the low ground
so deeply that the drag cannot rene
dy it for days. There is one and only
one way to justify spending the 60

are all we need.
Advocates Of dirt roads shout loud
ly about not caring n whoop for the
tourist visitor, that we want to spend
the money to benefit ourselves. For

we prevent them from travling our
highways? In my drive through
thcnty-three counties saw cars

cannot stop for mud, he must keep
going. Consequently while cursing
the country he ruins the road. The
farmer waits until the road dries,
losing the valuable time that he
might put in hauling to market while
his fields are too wet for work, then
must wallow through rutted roads for
miles. Never again can the dirt
road he good road for year round

to prove otherwise. BY John +.

PhOOI Philosophy
BY
Old Gu COllegy

Hot air dealers never go bankrupt.
The sea Of matrimony is dotted
with leaky boats.
The pitfalls Of life never bother
those who hop over them.
People never amount to anything
without doing something.
The unruly tongue is best curbed by
keeping the mouth shut.
Between ragtimc and radio comes
the toll that pays for both.
Wealth constitutes riches only
where there is a mind to enjoy it.
We understand now why charity
begins at home' in so many cases.
First contributions are often the
smallest.
1t is difficult to vindicate one per-
ION without making liar or fool
out Oh anOlnef.
There's a lot of enjoyment on the
farm for the fellow who doesn't
have to work it..
Ancestry has much tor which to he
thankful. 1t is not here to see the
finish of what it commenced.
After all, we may have to go to
var again to settle the difficulties
IF peace.
There still remaines one last re-
sort in our efforts to discourage
rhine. Punish the criminals.
The world is at peace with every
hing but itself.
1t is not to be wondered at that
people object to sitting on the mod
srn jury. The suspicion Of bribery
doesn't care who it hits.
The child that is born with a sill
yer spoon in it's mouth never knows
what a lot Of fun it could have with
1 pewter one.
Truth is best understood by those
who have experienced its value.
Don't go around with chip on
your shoulder unless it is worth
knocking off.
It's useless to put your best foot
forward unless you make the other
me keep up.
Kids like to play at being grown
ups, and grownups like to play at be-
ing kids. Somewhere between there
IS happy medium, but we seldom
know when we reach it,
The fellow who thinks he knows il
all doesn't know how to think.
Keep your heart pure and your
mind will keep itself busy.
Deeds and creeds sound much the
same, except when put into practice
The fellow who runs into debt of
ten finds it difficult to even crawl
out.

have drawn his money from bank
for the purpose of buying a home,
one dispatch placed the sum as
high as $4,000. and then to have
