THE STATE SERVICE
MARVELOUS GROWTH OF PUDLIC
AND QUASI.PUDLIC ACTJV.ITJE8
PUBLIC EXPENSES GROWING
Modern Civilization Demands Govern.
ment Action In Numerous Ways
Unthought of by Plo'neer.
In pioneer days tho people asked
and expected very llttlo from govern
ment, albeit tho burdens of tuxation
then wero more grievous than now,
largely becauso of tho extreme scarcity
of money. Society was less complex
than now. Each family was-In great
jnoasuro niiillclmt unto itself and
needed very llttlo cither from nclgh
Ijors or government.
Tlio husbandman was at onr-o hla
cwn cariionter, blatkEinlth, shoemaker,
butchor. Tho Rooi'vlfo was linker,
tailor, woaver, mid. nor, dicjEtnalar,
cook, phynlrlin, nurnn. The cnlldron
rirvcrt In ctory capatUy as they grow
111 yours and skill.
Each family then cared for 11.4 own
lame, halt, deaf, blind, Imbecilo and
tnnaiiu Eacli homo was its own hos
pital. And to a great extent tho
crimes against persons and proporty
wore dealt with by tho neighborhood
without tho aid or government as wo
now understand it. 1'olico powers
then did not threaten to tnvmlo tlio
Innermost sanctuarios of home.
Protest against tho burden of taxa
tion Is as conhtnnt as the oporation of
gravitation. "Nothing is sure, except
death and taxes," is as old as civiliza
tion; and mankind Drntestn ncnlnnt
the ono with as little hope of escaping
It as from tho other.
Accordingly, in every political cam
paign ono may confidently expect tho
"outs" to chargo the "Ins" with ex
travagance in expenditures of public,
money, because thoy hope to take ad
vantage of the endless protest against
the burdens of taxation. And it Is not;
at all startling that the republican
campaign manngors are almost frantic
in their efforts to fasten UDon Gov
ernor Morohead tho chargo of extrava
gance. ' I
In our article last week wo pointed
out a largo number of Items included
in tho eight million dollars appropriat
ed by tho legislating of 1013 and ap-'
proved by Governor Morehcad items 1
that foot up nearly two and one-half 1
million dollars and asked If he could
lavo vetoed any ono of these items
without crippling tho Btato's service.
To date no one has replied. '
Pioneer days In Nebraska differ
materially from those of Ohio, Michi
gan, Indiana and Illinois. The rail
roads to a very great extent preceded
the settlers hero. There wore no for
ests to clear away. Tho settlers, com
ing In gront measure from the states
named, olther direct or by the way of
Iowa, brought with them the ideas of
government which obtained in. these
older states. Tho result Is that Ne
braska has made wonderful ' strides
since hor admission to statehoodnot
only in population and wealth, but alsq
In education nnd government activi
ties. .
Governor Morchend has reportedly
pointed .out that of every hundred dol
lars raised In Nebraska by taxation,
stato and local, ?C." of it Is spent In
tho causo of education. Small wonder
that Nobraskn has tho smallest per
centage of Illiterates In our nation.
Even of tho eight millions of appropri
ations in 1913 for state purposes, $4,
041,900 practically ono-half was for
tho support and Improvement of edu
cational institutions, including tho
stnto university, four stato normal
schools, schools for tho blind, doaf,
feeble-minded, and Industrial schools.
Do tho people of Nebraska boliovo it
unwise to spond money liberally in
such a cause?
Tho complexity of civilized life has
resulted in an Increasing number of
specialists. Tho pioneer farmer's oc
cupation Is gono. Ho Is no longer car
ponter. butchor, blacksmith and shoo
maker In ono; his wife Is no longer
spinner, weaver, tailor, dressmaker,
milliner, physician and nurse; but
both ho and sho nro now obliged to bo
operators, or nt least overseers, of
complicated machinery, tho liko of
which our forefathors nover oven
dreamed. With this complexity of life
has grown necessarily morn numerous
needs for government activity and
greater government activity moans
greater expenditures.
Let us bco what wo aro willing to
difpenso with: Shall wo (can wo?)
dlsuuml the national guard and savo
tho ?77,6S0 appropriated for tho adju
tant general's olllce?
Do we really" noed stnto supervision
of ihsurnnco companies? If not, wo
can save ?24,0S0 each two years.
Shall wo cut down oxponnos by nbol-
Shlng tho labor commissioner's ofilco
id Its $10,080 appropriations?
Can wo got along without tho gamo
and llsh commission and savo $44,780
each hlcuulum? 1
What useful sorvico Is rendered by
tho hotel commission that warrants
spending $12,080 on It each two years?
hi it cl .ss legislation to pnj J3,ti00
a jwr for a slate veteiia.irian, nnd
Slti.OUO a year for the olllco expenses
of tho live Btock sanitary bonrd, "in
cluding indemnity for glundorod
hordes"? .
Is it worth $57.7130 per blonnlum for
n board of commissioners to superviso
all the stato charltablo and penal Iik
stilutlons?
Are the people benefited $37,400 a
year by the stato banking board?
Does tho stato board of Irrigation
earn its $27,880 in two years of sor
vico? Is It well to pay $12,(330 every two
years for tho services and expenses of
the stato prison board and board of
charities and correction?
Is tho history of Nebraska so vitally
necessary that wo should pay $19,299'
per annum to support a secretary, his
torian, librarian, curator, stenographer
and janitor?
Do wonoed a $33,000 bureau of

collected for the services rendered?
If thore are any of these boards
and commissions which are not need
ed, even in our present high state of
specialization, the remedy is not to bo
found in making a scapegoat of any
Individual, either legislator or govor-ffc)r.-but
in taking up tho question of
eliminating a glvoti board or commis
sion, discussing it in a calm, Judicial
way, and then acting upon what ap
pears to bo the preponderant opinion!
Governor Morehead is pledged to help

complcto tho task in his second term,
James Pearson, democratic candi
date for lleutennnt governor, has had
legislative experience that fits him
eminently for tho position. He Is a
discerning studont of stato government
and works conscientiously in all tho
things ho undortnkes. He is particu
larly thoughtful of tho agricultural in
terests of the stnto- nnd in tho last
session did much for thorn.
Charles W. Pool, candidate for ssc
rotary of state on the democratic
ticket, was speaker of the house at tho
'1909 sosslon. In that posltlon'ho Was
loader of tho majority in that body and
.saw to It that every plodgo of tho
stato platform was fulfilled. Included
in the list of the memorablo laws of
tho sosslon was tho bank guaranty act,
which Is some achievement in itself.

penses far less money than any repub
lican sessions in years nnd years bp

in any session.

dato for treasurer, has had abundant
banking ONporleneo In tho elty and tho
country town. This (Its him admirably
'for tho post1' to which ho aspires.
Llkewiso ho 1 promised that ho
