COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 17.-De-
spite several lean years, Ohio State
owns the second best football record
in the Big Ten, all games considered,
for the period 1913-1926, inclusive ex-
cept for the unofficial" campaign of
1918. The period covered is that
since the Buckeyes entered the
Western Conference.
Michigan leads the pack, but the
wolverines were not in the Confer
ence from 1918 until 1918. 1t was
in 1915 and 1917 that the Buckeyes
first won the Big Ten title, and had
Michigan been in the Conference in
those days, the tale might be slightly
different.
Sixty-Five Buck Victories
On the basis of all games played
from 1918 through 1925, excluding
only 1918. the Ohio State Buckeyes
have an average of .7S0, having won
sixty.fve, lost twenty-four and tied
eight games. Michigan in that period
has won seventy lost twenty
one and tied three contests for a
mark OF 100.
Illinois is third, having won sixty
Ave, lost twenty-five and tied SIX
games for an average Of 1922. Wis

Socialism appears naked and I'M

the general expectation is that the
proposed legislation will be passed
into law. The three great schemes
dealing on the national scale with
electricity, coal and land, have sup

not one of the measures has been
produced by the Socialist or Labor
party. That is perhaps the most ex-
traordinary feature of the situation.

Lloyd George, taking his stand in
favor of this appropriation of pri-

own new land scheme is animated by
the same principle, and it takes a
longer step toward naturalization,

a beginning of national landlordism
by declaring itself the owner of
every vacant farm, putting tenant
on the land and becoming the rent
collector. The third scheme, which
the government is about to place in
the hands of Parliament, is for the
ownership of the coal of the country
by the state, as recommended by the
coal commission. 1t proposes to cut
down royalties, to set up pitt COM

State Accounting
portland Express)

VI VI lieLilu I4APIC oSJ
AS we understand it, Mr.. Brock
ways recommendations respecting
State financing and accounting may
be summarized in a very few words.
Let the State reports be made in a
manner SO that the average person
will understand them and will be
able to ascertain from them how the
State stands financially. This is not
much to ask for, yet 1t probably
would take some time and entail
considerable expense to introduce the
reforms proposed by the Portland ex-
pert, who is the comptroller of a
business which handles much more
money than the State of Maine does.
In his report to the Governor and
Council, Mr.. Brockway makes six
specific recommendation and these
recommendations should receive the
careful consideration of the Legis-
lature next Winter. We may briefly
summarize them here. They are:
O A balance sheet that may be
understood by those of unfinanciaI
education.
90 The setting up of income and
disbursements so that the non-goy-
ernmental will be shown separately
from the income and expenses Of
government.
(3) A thorough going budget plan
that will work.
ca A standard classification of
accounting to avoid contradictory
duplicate sets of accounts.
go That the printed reports of
the auditor be made in much smaller
form.
go The making and maintenance
OF an inventory of State property.
The State publishes voluminous
reports of the heads of it's several
departments. The figures given are
probably all accurate, but the maze
of figures produced mean nothing to
the average man. They mean very
little to the expert accountant. The
average citizen reads in the Spring
after the termination of the legisla-
tive session what the State tax will
be, and his knowledge of State fin
ances ends then and there. He for
gets that in a months time.
The citizens of Maine ought to
know about it's financial affairs.
Under the Brockway plan they can
learn very rapidly. Being able to
know about the States business they
will take an interest in 1t. No one
gets greatly absorbed in a matter he
knows nothing about.
Mr.. Brockway is right when he
says that the State needs a real
budget plan. The present system in
troduced by Governor Milliken. is
vastly better than the old haphaz-
ard method of making appropria-
tons, but, it is not budget plan such
as the Federal goveEnment has. The
need of a standard classification of
accounting hardly needs to be urged.
Printing the reports of the auditor
in smaller form is, the part of COM
mon sense. They contain a mass of
detail undressing and unimportant
to the general public. If items are.
required by anyone they can be OBJ
tanned by going to the auditor for
them.
An inventory of the State property
kept UP to date is an ordinary bust
ness precaution.
The State of Maine is not the only
commonwealth of the Union that is
at fault in it's accounting methods.
What we are doing practically every
other state is doing. But IL we are
wrong we ought to change, never
