Chairman Van Nuys today made piildiv" the following statement by Mr. Motf-enburg: ov. ( ', km! !;. j:i hin dr-f Of his administration, published a few days ago, entirely ignored the charge mido nriinit him anil the lender. of his party, in my speech in ojif nlnp the democratic campaign at Terre Haute. The har- I made was that the present rpiiMiran ad ministration came into power in In diana hy reason of a r.impaisn of mjsh' idlncr representations as to the conduct of tho affairs of state during the two previous democratic admin istrations; that in his campaign Mr. 'fOodrlch had charged extravagance and incompetency in the manage ment of th state penal and benevo lent Institutions; that he attempted .to prove his rave ,y showing the in-f-rase in the cost of rnnnincr the ht.it during Gov. Hals-ton's admin istration as compared with that of Gov. Hanly's; that he attempted to holster up his case by showing the increased por capita ro. t of runnlm the stat Institution?: that both these methods were unfair nnd mislead ing; that Mr. Goodrich, with two ex ceptions, had continue, in olf'ce the t-.ime hads of Institutions, that fin v. Kal-ton had appointed or had con tinued In oir.ee. There were the same men whom Mr. Goodrich at tacked in his campaign. I claimed, localise theso moti had been con tinued in o'Hre that thereby Gov. Goodrich had endorsed the record fif th s. appointees. Iisy to Sc III I?ason. Tn hi. defense, the governor ob jects to the comparison of the ex penditures during tho two years of hh administration with tho expend itures during the last year of the ad ministration of Gnv. Ual?ton. That such a comparison Is not pleasinrt to the governor is easily understood However, in IMS the povernor u?e;l You Need Not Suffer from But You Must Drive It Out of Your Blood to Get Rid of It Permanently.

Use News-Times Want Ads the am method to support hli claim of extravagance against tho Italston administration. It will bJ remembered that Mr. Goodrich eornparMl the Ralston administra tion with the Hanly administration. It did not occur to Mr. Goodrich in 1M that the conditions of the Han ly and Italston administrations wer entirely different. During the Kal--cton administration there were more state institutions, the business of the .-täte had greatly increased, the hlch cost of living had Increased, yet Mr. Goodrich, In 1916, thought It wan fair to compare the expendi tures of Mr. Ralston's administra tion with those of an adminiotra tion four years before. The governor ought not now to object to the use. of the same method of comparison. It is a good old adage that ho who lives by the sword must die by the sword. That Mr. Goodrich may know how his administration fare hy his. method of comparison, tho figures of the expenditure? for the last year of Gov. Ralston'a adminis tration and the first two years of Gov. Goodrich'p are here plven. Mr. Goodrich, if he chooses, can make the comparison and draw his con clusion by his 1316 method, and then pive the Fame publicity to the result as he did In 1916. but he won't do it. Kxpenditure? for the ptate In l'l, under Mr. Ralston's adminis tration were 1 11. 133.1 7.". 49: in 1917. under Mr. Goodrich, they were $11, 937,327.71; and these last iipures do ;ot include outstandinp institution al bills to the amount of 5140, COO and the unpaid bills for remodelinp the tate house. Fond of Comparison. Gov. Goodrich is exceedingly fond of mnklnp comparisons, but in all his comparisons he fails to mnke any reference to hir own de partment, the executive department of the state. The comparison of the expenditures of this department for the year 1018 with those of 1916 are most interestinp. In 1918 there was an expenditure in Gov. Good rich's department of HI 5,7 10.47 as against $3:1.1.28 in. 191C. This is an increase of $12,610.19 for 191. which 1 equivalent to 1190 per cent. The povernor In his defense, particularly refers to the auditor's office, the office of the reporter of the supreme court and the depart ment of the custodian of the state house. Auditor or State's Office. Gov. Goodrich, in his 191? con vention speech, said that Favins had been made in th offices of auditor of state. He now admits the contrary.

Am bassador da Gama will be the new Ilrazilian minister of foreign affairs. in 1317 and $22,463.05 in 1018 moro than it did in 1316. In his defense, the povernor attempts to justify this increase by the charge that durinp the Italston administration the fees for examininp insurance companies were paid directly to tho examiners and therefore did not ap pear as a charge apainst the auditor's cilice. This assertion is absolutely without foundation. The reports of the auditor of state's otTice, dur inp years 1313. ly 14. 110 ami 1016 will show that these fees were all paid into the state treasury and that the examiners and special examin ers were all paid by vouchers, and that this expense was charged to the auditor's olüce. The povernor'a explanation of this increased ex penditure thus fades away. The in timation mad.; by the povernor that Mr. Crittenberper, while auditor of state, was at fault for the failure to collect $ 30.000 in reciprocal fees from insurance companies is not Justified by the facts. The facts are that the Insurance companies either resisted the payments of these fees or made reports as to their busi ness which did not conform to the law. Th state succeeded in collect ing these fees only after it had won the suits instituted apainst theso companies during Gov. Italston's administration, and the fees collect ed as the result of this Htipation crime into the state treasury durinp the term of the present auditor. Mr. Crittenberper is not deserving of criticism in this regard. Reporter or Su promo Court. The governor claims there has teen a savin p in this otnee. As a matter of fact, Mr. Zoercher, the democratic incumbent, discontinued in part one position in this office, and Mr. Adams has done the same thlnp The present reporter of the supreme court has so managed his office that during his Incumbaney of nearly two years he has published only three volumes of the supreme and appellate reports. while Mr. Zoercher. durinp the same period, got out eipht volumes. The cost of pettlnp out these three volumes was practically the same as what it cost under Mr. Zoercher's to get out eight volumes. This certainly can not be characterized as economy or efficiency In the present administra tion of the ofiice. As a result of the present reporter's delay, the de cisions of the supreme and appel late courts are being published nearly two years after they were rendered. While the office of the reporter is in this condition, the reporter him self found time to " travel as a messenper of the commission to register the soldier vote for which he received from the state treas ury $3.1?. 99 to cover his expenses. Huring this time he was away from his ofl'.ce but his salarv as reporter j was going on. The povernor's pri i vate secretary, Frank P. Iätschert, jalthouph the povernor was in capacitated by his injuries and away f mm his office, found time to ero out I on this same work and he drew his I expenses from the state treasury. Maintenance of Mate House. Th? povernor. with much pride, i points out a saving in the engineers i department of the state house. In I actual tipures there was a saving In ;this department in 191S of $:.2.".C6. i compared with the exper.se of 1916. i while in 1917 there was an Increase j of $1.72 7.34. In the custodian's 'branch of this department, how- 1 m ,S f m. . 1 ever, m ip?re was an mcrrase of 2,9"i.l7 over the expenditures for 1916. Any person, who Is ac quainted with the condition of th halls and room of the state house durinp the last year and a half i knows that they have r.ot been as I well kept as they were under the former custodian, although $i9Sr.- 17 more was expended in th'.s de partment. The CJcnenil Fund. 1 Mr. Goodrich, in his defense. J points out that the general fund in 'the treasury on Oct. 1. 191 S, would I have been mu-h augmented if the 'inheritance tax had been pid into the general fund instead of into the highway fund. As a matter of fact there Is now in the peneral fund 1500,000 which, under the act of 1917, should have been paid into the highway fund. If the transfer had been made, the peneral fund would have teen reduced that amount. In the management of the state treas ury, the present administration has from the very f.rst violated the pro vision of the tax act of 191.1. which provides for the levy of a special tax for the support of the penal and tenevotent InitltuUcus of the state. 'A The act specifically says that the revenue from this tax shall b kept as a special fund for the support of these institutions. This fund has not been kept separate but has been paid into the general fund and thereby not only has the plain man date of the law been violated, but one of the cardinal principles of tho "Budget" pystem, about which Mr. Goodrich's defense contains a Justi fication of the. borrowing of JHO, 000 to pay the deficiencies in the appropriations f6r the penal and benevolent institutions. The gover nor says: "If there was a billion In the ßtate treasury, we could not use a cent of it without an appro priation." He concludes that it would have been illegal to pay this deficiency out of the general fund without an appropriation, and that therefore this amount was borrow ed. As a matter of fact arrange ments were made to borrow this amount, but the plan for some rea son was abandoned, and the state auditor Is now paying these bills out of the general fund, although Mr. Goodrich says it is illegal to do so, and although in fact it is in abso lute violation of law. Tax Iicvy. The povernor takes much credit to himself for the reduction of the state tax levy. He seems to forget that this reduction was recommend ed to the general astembly by his predecessor. Gov. Ralston. The condition of the state treasury' that warranted this reduction was brought alout by the splendid ad ministration of Gov. Ralston; and it would have made no difference who was elected povernor: the tax levy would have been reduced Just the same. In his defense, Mr. Goodrich falls to answer Chairman Van Nuys' most important inquiry. It will be remembered that Mr. Van Nuys wanted tho povernor to ex plain, if there is ample revenue with which to run the state under the reduced tax levy, why did the gov ernor po before the legislature in 1917 and urge the passage of an ex cise tax law, telling the legislature it was either an excise tax lac or alo an increase in the tax levy, or an increase in the valuation of property for taxation. The fact is Mr. Goodrich can make no satis factory' answer to this inquiry, be cause it in apparent that if the fin ances of the state are in the splen did condition Mr. Goodrich and tho republican leaders would have the public understand there is no tne cessity for an excise tax law, or else the public is not being told the full truth about the financial condition of the state. The whole defense of Mr. Goodrich Is of the same char acter as the statement made by him In 1916 they are not a full and fair presentation of the conditions of the etate. SOLDIEKS' JLVIIi. The mail service for our army abroad has now been taken over by the army. It is handling a million letters a day that are received in Trance from this country, and about ?00.000 letters a day that are mailed in Franco for soldiers in France. It has warehouses for sorting mail at French ports. It has railway mail clerks on some 2O00 miles of French railroads. It has a central postorflce at Tours, permanent post oflices at various points, mobile post offices rU'ht up to the firing line, and mail orderlies attached to each company of troops. In the past, when the mail service for the army was under civil control, great delays were caused in the de livery of mail by the necessary se crecy concerning troop movements, Now, under military control, all movements of the mobile post offices are telegraphed in code to the dis tributing postoflices and the letter follow the soldiers as they march. All the hospitals notify the central post office of the identity of wounded soldiers received or transferred. The central post office works, with the Adjutant General's office when every' soldier in the army is card indexed, and 150 men are there con stantly employed searching out ad dresses. A system has been devised by which delivery may be quickened to "replacement units" who have been scattered among widely separ ated troops. And various means have been found for overcoming delays due to lack of shipping facilities or congestion of mail at crowded posts. It still remains true that mail for some 50,000 soldiers in France is de layed because the letters are inade quately addressed. In the future all u(h lettera will be stopped at New York and returned to their senders. It is estimated that C00. 000 letters a month have been delayed In the past because the men were in "replace ment units." This "floater's mail" is now being handled expeditiously. The mobile post offices now keep up with the troops; the" mall is received with tho rations at the kitchen; and the whole reorganized postal service is devoted to providing that the doughboy's letters shall reach him as promptly and regularly as his meals.
