HARMON TO LEGISLATORS.
Ohio Governor Gives Kentucky Law
makers Advice.
Frankfort. Ky. . Feb. 21. Gov. Jui
son Harmon of Ohio warned the Kei
tucky state legislature and all publl
officeholders to analyze their ow
records to see just how much the
were responsible for the unrest tin
he said was making a demand for ii
novations in government general ! ;
Gov. Harmon spoke briefly at the se
sion in answer to a recent iiivltatic
of the legislators. He said , in part :
t ! "Whatever we may think of the i
novations in government we are hea
ing so much about , it behooves evei
one who holds a public position '
make diligent self-search" to fli
whether any shortcoming on his pa
figures in the unrest which the pr
posal of these changes signifies. Fc
while some doubtles > advocate the
for other reasons , the greater numb
would not lend an ear without son
real or supposed ground for disco
tent with public agencies as they at
"And it must be noted that all a
involved in the measures in questlc
Direct legislation is aimed at the la
makers as a body and the recall
the individual members as well as
the executive- officers and judges. Ai
it may fairly bo said that the suppo
these devices receive varies with tl
real or supposed need of them ,
well as with opinions about the bi
anco of advantage In them. "
Gov. Harmon then recounted two
the administration changes that ha
been effected since his administratli
in Ohio began , the substitution of
is single board of administration for t
nineteen state institutions and t
adoption of : > uniform tax rate. Ch
ing he said :
"I believe the reform most sore
icedcd now is in administration , b <
er results at less expense.
"It ought not to cost a billion d
ars a year , or over $11 for each me
woman and child in the country ,
naintain the federal government wi
ts limited functions.
"These state , county and city , whi
ire much more numerous and exp <
slve , cost together but little more i
head and that is far too much.
"True , these are times of privt
extravagance , but that is no exct
for public extravagance. Everybc
may spend his own money as
D. pleases , but public officials spend o
D.1C er people's money , much of it contr
uted under hardship , and all of it 1
re
purposes which make It sacred for i
ery patriot.
"Federal expenses bear more he
ily on the people than state and lo
an expenses , because the latter are rr
it- ed by taxes on property only , wli
itvo the former are chiefly raised by I
re tariff on articles consumed. So i
per capita figure is not an estim ;
de but a reality , because the poor n
of. with a large family pays more fede
sr- tax than the- rich man with a smal
srof family.

In this would bring quicker , greater f
Inns more general relief than any oil

bers of the state university have not
attempted t > harmonize' their Instruc
tions with such events as narrated In
