Governor Hannon, by applying to
the state government those principles
of business which made him so suc-
cessful as an administrator of prop-
erty while practicing law, has sys-
temlzed the Ohio government, and
given the people the most economical
administration in the history of the
state.
/The cardinal principle of the Har-
mon regime has been ( economy, and
the executive has never overlooked
an opportunity to eliminate extrava-
gances that crept Into the State gov-
ernment during nearly 20 years of
continuous Republican oontrol.
By vetoing two bills, one making a
state-wide levy of one-half mill, and
another Increasing by One-half mill
the county levy for road Improve-
ments, the governor saved the peo-
ple of Ohio $8,500,00(1
By securing the passjtge of a max-
imum 1 per cent'tax rate law, which
also limits tup amount of money that
cr.n be expended by public officers,
there was an annual saving of
$4,000,000.
By Impartially enforcing the laws
levying a lax on the capital stock of
domestic corporations, which before
the HSrmon administration had e«-
raped paying, a stop was put to an
annual loAs cf $1,000,000.
Ohio farmers were cheated every
year by sale- of fraudulent fertiliser.
A law was enacted to prevent this,
with an annual saving of $1,000,000.
Nineteen separate boards of trus-
tees for IS different state institutions
were replaced by a single board, and
by this transaction the annual saving
was $500,000,
An act was passed abolishing the
hoarda of Infirmary directors of three
members each In every county of the

HUMANITY VS. R^D TAPE.
■ Those who know Judson Harmon
host, know him as a man whose heart
Is full of sympathy for the man wbo
toils, and an Incident during Mr. Har-
mon's receivership of the Pere Mar-
quette railroad proves that. In l##7
sn excursion trsln carrying employes
of the Pere Marquette and their fami-
lies on nn outing was wrecked A
cumber were killed. Receiver Har-
mon did not permit rod tape to hin-
der him from doing an humane act.
He ordered that no attempt be mad#
to take advantage of the fact that
of iajured persons were inylted guests,
•a account of their relationship
fellow servants of the
tp blame for tho
knt
i
political
law which sought to compel them to
psy office operating expenses from
fees they earn and collect, but they
were extravagant In clerk hire and
drew upon county treasuries for defi-
cits. To stop this a bill was enacted
limiting clerk hire to a certain per
cent of receipts and tbs annual sav-
ing was $50,000,
A law was passed providing for
annual appraisement of all state prop-
erty by three men, who were to re-
ceive aggregate salaries of $1$ per
diem. They would havd been busy
tbe year round, but Governor Har-
mon vetoed this and saved the people
annually $6,000; tbe 1911 partial ap-
I roprtatlon bill enacted by the gen-
eral assembly showed a reduction In
tbe salaries of state employes of
$26,698. Many Democratic state offi-
cers followed tbe example of their
chief and saved money. State Inspec-
tor of Engineers Haswell, a Demo-
crat, lowered the annual operating
expenses of his department In 1916,
$16,062.34; State Oil Inspector Finley,
a Democrat, although bis expens
during the last half of 19l6 were
$766.82 less that those of his prede-
cessor, a Republican, collected and
laid into the state treasury fees dur-
ing that period that exceeded those
of his predecessor $6,627.98.
State Printer Crawford, a Demo-
crat, reduced the 1910 operating ex-
pense* In his department $3,738 60;
by paring down requisitions of mem-
bers during a five months’ session In
1911, there was a saving bjf the sta-
tionery clerks of the Ohio house of
representatives of $1,023.09; State
T.abor Commissioner Wirmel Increas-
ed the efficiency of his department In
1910 and paid into the state treasury
an amount that exceeded that of hia
predecessor $4,370.4$; Senate Clerk
Ooshorn and House Clerk Kempel,
T>emocrats, disregarded a precedent
under which their predecessors were
paid $5 per day for Sunday work, al-
though they never performed any
services on those days, and the an-
nual saving was $500. ’ ,
(as Progress.
The Vw>ljfci6al horizon shows many
bright stare twinkling in the firana-'
ment. Never in the history of j
Texas have so many capable meal
offered for publio service, and the
platform* and public expressions
of the candidates thrill the state j
with a promise for better things.'
Of course there will be a few war
horses enter tbe race, and old fol-
lies under new names will appear
in their platforms, but, taking the
field as a whole,, the prospects for
progress were never brighter.

Opportunity
■ ‘ >V > 1 ’ < -
A bank account has helped many
^ a man and woman to grasp an
opportunity. s
Opportunities are seldom her-
alded two years, a year, or even six
months in advence. They are sud-
denly thrust upon one, to take or
reject.
The acceptance or rejection of
many a lifetime's chance, offered to
a ma^, hangs on the possession of
a little ready cash.
Without the necessary money
one cannot grasp the opportunity
when offered, and there is no time
to save when the chance appears.
Many of the greatest fortunes
have been foundationed on the right
investment of such sums that one is
inclined to wonder; but the most
difficult part in th£ making of those
fortunes was the saving of the first
few dollars. Had they not been
accumulated by infinite pains, grea-
ter amounts could "not have been
gained so easily.
