QUOTATION
There are loyal hearts,: there are spirits
brave,
There are souls that are pure and true;
Then give the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will flow,
And strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gift will be paid in
kind,
Ana honor will honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will surely find
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror of king and slave,
’Tis just what jou are and do;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to yeu.
Madeline S. Bridges.
THE STATE CONTINGENT FUND
The legislature of 1915 authorized and
required the State Auditor and the State
Treasurer to open on their books an ac
count to be known as the State Contin
gent Fund. On the first of January of
■tfach year all balances of unexpended
appropriations were to be transferred and
credited to this account. The only ex
ceptions to this were the appropriations
providing for the issue and payment of
State bonds, temporary loans and certain
special funds held in the treasury depart
ment.
The actual income of the State for each
preceding year was also to be credited to
the contingent fund. The Governor and !
Council were given authority to expend
this fund as follows:
"Warrants may be drawn upon, charged
to, and paid out of this fund, to pay out
standing bills or accounts that were prop
erly chargeable to the several appropria
tions previous to the first day of January
of each year; to pay outstanding bills
necessarily contracted by State depart
ments or State institutions tor which the
Legislature failed to make sufficient pro
vision, and for such other expenses as it
may be necessary to incur under the re
quirement of law or for the maintenance
of government, which the Governor, with
the advise and consent of the Council,
shai! authorize; provided, however, that
no payment shall be made from this fund,
except as above provided, unless some
emergency shall arise requiring an ex
penditure of money not provided for by '
the Legislature.”
For several years prior to the passage !
of this act the legislature made an annual ,
appropriation of S10.000 under the title i
"Contingent Fund of the Governor and
Council” which was to be used as and
when needed for the benefit of the State.
W en this was expended the Governor 1
ai. Council had no authority to draw
. warrants for the expenditure of pub
lic money for any purpose unless tile leg
islature bad made an appropriation fori
tha; specific purpose, and no agent, in- ;
stitution or department of the State was
alio wed to overdraw the appropriation
granted for any year. Payments stopped
when the appropriation was expended
and those whose expenditures exceeded i
the appropriation were told to ask the
legislature to pass a special resolve au
thorizing the payment of the over ex
penditure. We admit that this was an
oldfash.oned and slow way of doing busi
ness, but it was safe, and the experience
of the last few years.has proved that it
was vastly more economical than the
present method.
Jd .us lirst address to the legislature
Governor Baxter speaking of the State
Contingent Fund showed that he had
given it an X-ray examination. He said: '
"in looking over the appropriations ;
and actual expenses of the various State
departments for the years 1919 and 1920
it appears that overdrafts were made 1
amounting to SI,517,927.82, and the Gov
eruor and Council were called upon to
make provision to meet these overdrafts 1
out of the < ontingent Fund. Shortly
alter assuming the office of Chief Execu- i
five I invited the heads of departments
to a conference and impressed upon them
the fact that the Legislature, not the
Governor and Council, was the appro
priating body, and I explained that here
after each department must plan to live
within the income provided for it by the
Legislature. The Governor and Council
cannot assume the responsibility of en
larging legislative appropriations and the
Contingent Fund should he drawn upon
in case of a real emergency only.”
When Governor Baxtersaid: “TheLeg
islature, not the Governor and Council,
was the appropriating body,” he gave
expression to a fundamental and import
ant truth The purse strings of the State
should always be firmly held by the Leg
islature. No part of the power to make
appropriations should be delegated to

matter should not be tolerated. It has
already cost the State many thousands o(

OH, JAKEY.
A dispatch from Lewiston says that
one thousand, two hundred and seventy
six bottles of Jamaica ginger, 2 ounce size,
were recently seized in a home in Lewis
ton. The dispatch further states that
the value of the seizure, “according to
local liquor prices,” was more than $3,
100. Two dollars and a half for two
ounces of Jamaica ginger! That’s prof
iteering, excess profits, cost plus and then
some.
"SUNSHINE FROM CUCUMBERS.”
“Never you mind,” said Senator
“Tom” Heflin of Alabama, the other day.
“You Republicans will get yours. Wood
row Wilson will entirely recover his
health, the country will find that he was
perfectly right iu all that he did, and in
four years he will be swept back into the
White House by a greater majority than
that by which Harding was elected.
William J. Flynn, chief of the bureau
of investigation, says that the identity of
the group responsible for the Wall street
explosion last September, is known.
Some of the members of the gang are iu
foreign countries and it is believed that
some are in hiding here.
WM. F. BRYANT.
Wm. F. Bryant, a well known citizen
of Searsmont, died at his home, Moody
Mountain, Searsmont, March 2ath. He
would have been 68 years old on the 31st.
He was born in Searsmont, the son of
William and Margaret Bryant, and had
lived his life there with the exception of
five years spent iu Providence, R. I.
When a young man he followed the
cooper’s trade, living near Searsmont
village, but for thirty-three years had
lived on the farm where he died, keeping
a number of cows and supplying custom
ers iu Camden with butter, milk and
other farm products, but in the past year
had given up that business to his son, on
account of failing health. The end came
quickly as he was confined to his bed
only four days. He had a wide acquaint
ance and leaves many friends. He was a
member of Appleton lodge of Odd Fel
lows, No. 7a, also of the Knox and Lin
coln Past Grands’ Association, I. O O.
F., connected with that Lodge. The fu
neral was held at the house Sunday after
noon, and after a short service, conduct
ed by Rev. Emma C. Harrison of Sears
mont, the Odd Fellows officiated with
their impressive service, about 4U mem
bers being present. The burial was in
Lasseli cemet ry, and the abundance of
beautiful ilowers told of the love and es
teem in which he was held. He leaves to
mourn their loss a wife, one son, George
Bryant, three grandsons, Merrick, Gil
bert and Carl Bryant, one sister, Mrs.
Lucien Thomas, and one brother, Charles
Bryant, and several nieces and nephews,
all of Searsmont.
