WATSON ON STATE FINANCES. If James K. Watson's "keynote" i ptck Is as nareWaWe and tv-orthless

far as callgbteauaHt is ooncoraoil aU other subjects as it Is with

respect to state finances, thn the IU publfciw party Is In oveo a worse way tkaa bas bra supposed, and lltat is about as ted 5 H cuta be. But doubtless Mr. Wauou dki the best he conld. He felt that be was expected to say Foate thing, aatl as a clear ami candid suuearaat oall dewoBStrnto the truth of every cbargo of extravagance and waste nutdo by the Democrats. Mr. Watsoti merely undertook to muddy the water. Being unable to do even that as to the showing made by the Demo erats cm the subject of the astounding increase la the numbor of offices and salaries. Mr. Watson remains silent on that point. Mr. Watsna declares in hta ceech that "the ecoaaaiy or extraragaare of ate admloitmdon is disclosed in the items rotapnstas the goneral fond dLsbarseaeRts." With rhat statement as

a basis he proceeds to compare the Democratic year ISM with the Republican year 183, and smys the following.

as reported by the Indianapolis Star

the mora lac after the delivery of the speech ia Fort Wayne, Aug. 2G: The reports show the total disbursements from the 'general fend for the nscal ywr ending Oct. Jl. 1S81. a

f-'.Tv; y,7.z:. from which there bo! d be deduct $21.525. wblcl wag a ro- ; paymt vf adraacemeau from cum ties, thus KaTing $2.55.742.25 af :b" net xpenditures from that fund. For

the tUcxl rear eadius Oct. 31. IDOo. theiv wtrrtf disburse iwnts from the nernl fund aggregating :5.015,537.S1. from which there should btj deducteii fl.4.0 repayment of advancements frost counties, also a loan from the deaf and daran fand of $5.. so 3. 33 and an amount of 32.016.9S transferred from the general fund to the special

(school fund, which were in no sense (expenditures, leaving 5S.717.S12.62. ,Thus It apyrs that the expenditures I from the ceneraj fond were 51.151.770.37 sreaterfor the year 1W than for

1S9. Bat Mr. Watson apparently was not satis Sed with his own ttafements as set forth above and fdven to his Fort Wayne audience, for he subsequently changed his figures. will be seen by reading the following revised version of it as it appears in a pamphlet issued for circulation by the Republican state com rait tee: The reports show the total disbursements from the general fund for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31. 1SS4. as $2.7S7.267.25. from which there should be

dedncted $221.525.00. which wae a re

payment of advancements from counties, thas leaving $2.555.742.26 as the net exesdltnres from that fund. In order that the expenditures of the two years under consideration be placed upon the sam basis, it is necessary to add to the disbursements of 1S94 the

aua of $1?5.1C9.S0. which was dis-

bureed from th state sinking fund, making a total of $2.760.&1.S. This addition is made because in IP"? there was transferred to the general fund from the slaking fund more than $200.W0. which was disbursed from the general fund, and Is included in the total disbursements from that fund. For the fiscal year ending Oct. 31. 155. there were disbursements from the general fund aggregating $5.045,537.91. from which there should bo

.deducted $124500.00 repayment of ad

vancements from countit. also a loan from the deaf and dumb fund of 575.and an amount of $37,620.49, which war one month's salary to state officials that should not be included, as thirteen months salary was paid out durinc 19 on account of a change In the ending of the fiscal year, leaving

J$3,3Slfs-1S. Thos ft appears that the

expenditures from the goneral fund

were $920,9G.33 greater for the year

ISM than for 1SS. By comparing the two statements It will be noticed that Mr. Watson.

without the slightest warrant, charges

to the disbursements of the general fund of 1594 the sum of S135.169.S0. which -was disbursed from the slnltlnc. fund and was never a part of the general fund. He does this in an attempt to offset it against "more than $200,M0" of sinking fund tax which the lit, isiaturo of 1?05 turned into tho general fund and which became a part of that fund, and ai such was disbursed. Not yet satisfied. Mr. Watson, It will

bo observed, adds. 55.000 to the deaf and dumb fund loan. And then be changes the 5S2.616.56 which he had first said represented an amount "transferred frora the Ken era I fund to the special school fund" to $37.60.10

which he had learned from some

; source "was one month's salary to

state officials that sheoid not bo in-

the Republican expenditures from the Etfneral fund in 1J0C wore only $920950.33 greater than the L mocratlc ex pouditnrts In 1SH, although he had at first ftxt'd the dlCTtrenro at $1.151.7T0.37. lint even with all thin agonizing after a satiafactory result, Mr. Watson 8 mathematics are wrung. The disburse meats from tho genoral fund in 1891 woro 52.7S7.2Ö7. This Included $ti47, OSS on account of tho stato debt. As tho KenuuHctttis in 1906 paid nothing on tho state debt, tho $647,08$ should bo deducted from tho general fund disbursements In order to obtain a fair comparison of tho expenditures from that fund. Tho deduction by Mr. Watson of tho money advanced to the general fund by the counties und paid out by tho stato on current expenses is more absurd thimblerigging. The expenditures from tho general 4undfor the two years will therefore stand as follows : I, by the Republicans $5,045.537 1S94. by h Democrats 2.140,179

InerraHe $205,35S Neither Mr. Wntaon nor any other Republican orator can change the facts as they are shown by the figures. On these facts the Republican state oflleials stand convicted of Increasing the general expeuaes of the state nearly three million dollars annually sinco they have been in power.

BENEFITS OF DEPOSIT GUARANTY The opponents of the guarantee of bank deposits ob.lert to this system on the ground that the honest bunker would have ut pay a small premium for the protection of deposit in Unhands of dishonest bankers and that the honest banker would derive no benefit from this payment i The actual facts are that tho honest j banker would derive the greatest hen-1 efits from the guarantee of deposits. It Is acknowledged that tho j anic of 1S07 was started on its career of devastation by a run on some badly man- j aged banks in New York. This panic spread "all ovor the United States and

Western bankers, no matter how "honest," were compelled to quit making loans. For six months or more they made no money and hardly earned fixed expenses. It is undeniable that had a guaranty of deposits been In force, the people all over the country would have allowed their money to remain In the banks. The honest banker could have made his usual loans and his general profits for the six months that he made nothing. This gain would have paid him back 100 fold the premiums that he had paid the government. Besides this, the factories would have had the capital to run their business and keep our people employed.

Mr. Hearst and his candidate for president, Mr. Hingen, slopped In Indianapolis last Thursday. After a consultation with Mr. Neal and Mr. Isherwood, they resolved themselves into one state and several congressional conventions and made a few tickets. Afterward Hearst made a speech in a theater to a considerable nudlonoo composed mostly of Republicans who were curious to seo what a man who is worth a hundred millions and is the sole proprietor of a whole "party," looks like. Mr. Hearst put In most of his time abusing Bryan a fact which will strengthen Mr. Bryan In the estimation of tho public Hearst and his employes beast that they aro in the game "to beat Bryan," but the fact that they are against him will cauec a larce majority of the really decent people to be for him. No Democrat will even think of giving any sort of aid or comfort to such a political ad venturer as Hearst.
