GOVERNOR DENIES
EXTRAVAGANCE IN
STATE EXPENSES
Branch Declares Reports of
High Costs Are Propa-
ganda,

Governor Emmett F. Branch, in
an address before the Republican
State convention today, pledged the
party to a continuance of a program
Of better roads. better schools, better
care of the States wards and neces-
sary improvements for State institu-
tons.
In an address bristling with fig
ures TO show the comparative cost
of State government during the last
two Democratic administrations and
the two Republican administrations
following, Branch declared the bur
den of State salaries and other oper-
ating expenses had been o. Iightened
under Republican leadership.
Expenses Cut
For State operating expenses the
State taxpayers paid the sum of ST.,
534.254 in the last year of the Raj
ston administration" Branch said.
by operating expenses we mean
salaries, light, heat, etc. In 1921,
the first year of the present admin
iStration, you were taxed $99S,200
for the same purpose. 1t cost the
taxpayers $536,O0O less for govern
ment's operating expenses in 1921
than it did in 1916.
THE Democrats cry that our
taxes are too high and lay the blame
on the Legislature of 1921 and 1928.
1t is the same cry we heard in the
campaign of 1922. They fail to tell
you that in the Legislature of 1921,
with possibly one or two exceptions,
every member of the Senate, every
Republican and every Democratic
member. voted for every appropria-
ton made. In their condemnation
of the laws OF 1921 they have never
singled out one law they would re
peal"
Denies Reports
Branch declared the total expendi-
lures Of the first fiscal year under
the present administration were
9,494,000. and not S13,648, 600 as had
been represented. He said a total
of s3.75O,00O in that year was
handled by the State as a matter
of bookkeeping and turned back TO
county school funds or to the diff
ferent circuit and superior courts.
1.-The Democrats do not mention
that in 1921 we spent S1.42+,oO0
more for educational purposes than
in 1916 and $3.50. 900 more from
taxes for the benefit Of the State
wards" Branch said
For these and other similar pur-
poses we spent in 1921 $5,167,S24
more than we spent in the last year
of the Democratic administration.
"All this was necessary and went
for the highest purposes. No one.
be ne Republican or Democrat, could
object unless he be an migrate"
Turning to the construction Of the
new reformatory at Pendleton.
Branch said the Democrats had made
a political football of the institution
and defended its construction on the
grounds that the old reformatory at
Jeffersonville was anticipated and in
need of vast expenditures for re-
pairs.

Failure to Vote Harmful

One of the recognized difficulties IN
this country is to get all the good
citizens TO go to the polls. 1t has been
established that very large numbers
of potential voters fail In each election
to go to the polls.

the American National council 10 New

statement in this connection II doubt

"MANY A MICKLE MAKES
A MUCKLE"

If Old-Lsdy Fortune ever provided
you with an automobile headed way
south on the Dixie highway, you dis
covered a clean white-and-green town
which set you to wondering who had
a hand in making Orlando, Fla, I'M
usual.
Wen, one of the makers, who yet in
sists that her part is only a minor
one, is named Julia Chapman. It's
the spirit she's put into her two jobs
rather than the size of her bank ac-
count that you find yourself interested
in. For she sells tickets in the rail-
road station and insurance and loans
on those white Orlando houses. Those
sound like unexciting occupations to
carry ON in the home town, don't
they? Unlikely to bring success or
fame or even contentment?
Miss Chapman developed the habit
OF doing the little things to the best
Of her ability. AS just one result, the
card of her insurance company now
carries in the upper right-hand corner,
"Julia X. Chapman, Sec. and Treas"
Orlando, village when little Julia
Chapman, twelve years old, was or
phaned, as q winter resort now at
tracts thousands of tourists. Miss
Chapman sees in her ticket office work
not a monotonous, hateful job, but a
chance TO help all Who enter the Of
fee; an opportunity TO take especial
care Of the great number of the white
haired who come hunting sunshine to
warm old bones or to cure deep-seated
old-age diseases.
She must have made a pleasant
memory in the minds of many of the
10000 who annually pass her window.
For she has discovered that all over
the United States have spread stories
Of the efficiency of her Office.
The war crystallized this reputa-
don. Uncle Sam, through the railroad
administration, beckoned a lean finger
at Julia Chapman and said. Il need
