Republican papers in Indianapolis recently raised a great howdy-do about a loan of $400,000 winch the state administration was compelled to make to close up the accounts of the fiscal year ending September 30. It was only a temporary loan, as author!/' d by law, and will be paid off after the December settlement with county treasurers. It is entirely probably that another temporay loan will be necessary before the June settlement in 11114. The reason for all this is that the republicans, who controlled the finances of the state for sixteen year l , were not only wasteful in their appropriations. but they did not have th ■ business sagacity and the moral coinage to cope with the condition which they had created. The recent loan was made to meet expenses chargabl • to the state's general fund, which ha.i n depleted by the demands of thvarious benevolent and educational in stitutions. After the collection of taxes in 1914 these institutions will be supported by a fund especially created for them. In view of this fact th« last legislature redused the general tax levy from 9 to 7 cents on the slvC. The republican policy of “drawing on the future” to provide for the presem left the state treasury in such bid condition that it was impossible for tie dctnocra’s to correct i: at oner. Hut great headway has been made and within another twelve months it ibelieved that the state's finances w.ll be on a real business basis. Tin- Herne Witnes hastens to sa" that Governor Ralston was a guest tit the hotel in this city recently when it was raided. If Fred is really in fa vor of the “square deal" a» he talk-’, he could easily have discovered that this was not a true statement. The trouble probably is that Fred al"> works up a little politics now and then and he didn't want to give it just straight The election will stain be a matter of history.
