Charles iir-tm Roaitrd,
It is ald that one valiant democrat who
had much to do with the success it the
democratic state ticket this year, after
swelling around for a week, holding In
the besi he knew how, finally made a
rush for the Commoner office and ex
ploded. The things which were hurled at
the skull cap of I'rlnce Charlie liryan
(and some of them. It is said, took ef

man and allied armies to flight. At the
close of the discussion the disagreement
had not been fixed up, the dove of peace
was still madly beating at the window In
an attempt to get away and the afore
mentioned prominent democrat slid down
the banisters and hiked into the pres
ence of our old friends Tom and Jerry
and tried to forget that Washington was
on the map.

Drs. Gafford, Yoder and Willis found It

BrlleTns la Giving- State Board of
Control Lamp 8am for Salaries
and Maintenance of State
Institutions '
.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dec. 22. -(Special.) In his
report filed with the governor this
morning State Auditor V. B. Howard
advocates a central station in the state
house from which all supplies of stamps
shall be issued upon requisition made by
the department desiring them. He be
lieves a better method should be used
regarding payment of salaries and that
it Is necessary that more equalizing of
the same be mado. He urges that In
reports of oommlsslons and reports of
state departments before stating the
number of copies to be printed the legis
lature should consult with the .depart
ments and commissions and no more
copies be printed than are actually
needed..
He requests that a better method be
used In issuing vouchers and that the
department using vouchers should be re
quired to pay for the voucrers used In
stead of having the auditor's office fur
nish and pay for all vouchers used by
the other departments. He does not be
lieve In an employe drawing two salaries
and recommends when an employe is
working for the state at a stated salary
that they be not allowed to draw extra
pay from another department for work
done.
Lnnip Sains for State Board.
He recommends also the appropriation
of a lump aum for the use of the Board
of Control for the payment of salaries
and maintenance at state institutions
and that no personal bonds be accepted
by the state, as now is the case, arid
that the state pay the premium on all
bonds. He believes the custom of allow
ing female attendants to accompany fe
male prisoners to the state institutions
U all right, but there Is no law cover
ing that proposition and he believes such j
provision should be made. I
Heretofore examinations of county
treasurers were made about once In !
twenty-two months. The present au- j
ditor haa brought the examinations to
about once in twelve months, and iie be
lieves an additional examiner should be
employed for a portion of the time. Dur
ing the last year members of the office
force and the auditor, himself, have been
assisting In the examinations.
Insane Accoants.
Speaking of the old insane accounts,
the auditor says:
"When we assumed the duties of this
office there was duo the state from va
rious counties the sum of $36,22. SS for
care of their insane previous to 11, when
the present law became effective. Why
former state auditors made no effort to
collect this we are unable to say. We
Immediately proceeded to collect this
principal and have up to November 80,
1SH4, collected, had levies made or prom
ised by resolutions of the various county
boards to the amount of $C1,149.60. Of the
balence unadjusted $6,139. 16 Is represented
by two suits now pending in the supreme
court and payment of the balance of $i8,
844.13 will likely be arranged by the va
rious county boards owing same during
the month of December.
Five counties only refused to either psy
or make a levy and against these five
counties I started suit for recovery. Since
starting suit two counties have made par
tial payment and agreed to make levy to
pay the balance. Another county ' has
advised me officially that they will make
levy and the three suits will be dismissed
without prejudice upon the payment of
accrued costs.
I do not know whether the legislature
has the power to authorize the cancella
tion of the Interest charges, but If so and
It sees fit to do so the various counties
will. I believe, each willingly pay the
principal in full, even those counties that
aro now resisting action In the court.
I beg to advise also that several coun
ties have overpaid in the total amount of
a trifle over $(X10, and I suggest that the
legislature pnss an act to reimburse each
county for the amount o ftho overpay
ment as shown by our books.
I nralled for Warrants.
In the custody of the auditor are old
warrants unpaid and uncalled for In the
amount of $3,516.60, divided among 84S dif
ferent people. Most of these are old
wolf bounty claims, and all effort to lo
cate the owners has been unavailing. The
auditor recommends that the warrants he
cancelled and the books relegated to the
dump heap so that the room they are now
taking may be utilized.
The auditor expects that a small defl
clency may exist at the end of the mien
nlum In the office expense fund. This is
due to the Increased business of the stats
and to the Increase In many things con
nected with the office. For Instance, 10,000
more warrants have been Issued this W
enmum man curing the preceding one,
and the issue of bonds haa Increased 40
per cent, necessitating more work and
attendant expense.
NEW BOOKKEEPING PLAN
