TEAR DOWN" MOTTO OF LEGISLATORS

Minority Group Bent on Des tractive Program For Coming Session tie reactlonaryism' and conservatism is in ktssion of the general assembly which convenes in less than two weeks is clearly forest in the presession discussions. . Aside from one or two lnovatlons it appears that the tession will be void of progressive legislation, and the center of Interest will be iocused on the attempts of one group to tear down that which has been established and the other c-rour..

composed chiefly of majority members, contesting to retain tho cstablJshed orCer. An illustration of this is the loud jciammer of many members, mostly democrats, but i:i some instmici-t.

republicans, to either abolish state departments or to curtail their powers to the point of making them pupetg. L'vto this time ten state departments' have been attacked. The

democrats meeting In formal session last week announced a policy of ripping Into seven departments. They would amend the tax law to the point of virtually abolishing the tax. board; they would limit the powers of the board of health to the exfent'that It would have no power to protect the health of school children; they would prevent the state board of accounts from keeping a too watchful eye on grafting offlcf holders and contractors, unit the banking and Insurance departments" with the state auditor's office, abolish the state motor police and the oil inspection department. All of this is a matter of party policy. : Aside from this orgy of abotisnlng number of members are determined to cripple tho state highway department. Some desira to take the automobile license fees

away from the state roads, others favoring a gasoline tax are determined that it shall not be used for state roads, but for lociil roadr. republicans and democrats nenm agreed that the Inheritance . tai shoulcl be turned into the general fund' of state rather than into me state highway f and and a few would like to go so far as to take all construction and maintenance work away from the state highway

commission and thus reduce It to a board of supervision of work auoe by county commissioners. Although "repeal" seems to be the motto of many members It is regarded as a strange fact that no member has come forward up to this time with a bill to abolish the public service commission. Such action was talked of loudly a year ago, but it appears to have auntc into the minds of the law makers that popular, wrath expresed against the commission was the Invention of an uninformed few rather than the sober judgment . of the majority of the people. While there seems to be no desire to repeal the commission law there does exist a distinct sentiment In tavor of amending the service commission law. In what particular it should be amended has not' been, advanced other than notions expressed that the commission's authority should be limited to limited to jurisdiction over utilities whose services extend beyond the limits of any one city of town. Into this maelstrom of cross currents Governor McCray will have to wade January 4. with his message opposing all of this reactionary docturn. '

POSTAL DEFICIT

HUG

CHICAGO, Dec. 22. Suppressed balance sheets of the poslofflce department have been made public by former director of the tudget Charles G. Dawes. Gen. 'Dawes pointed out today that the report shows a deficit of $16,198,000 for the first quarter of 1922. or at the rate of more than $64,000,000 for the year. This comes a3 a shock to persons who have been under the impression for years that the postofflce was self sustaining. The balance sheet hints that "other causes" should be made the subject for emphasis when the government department ascribes the deficit as on December 3 to "fire, burglary and other causes." Gen. Dawes said the postofflce report and balance sheet were available last April. When it was submitted,, he said,. It was "chucked into the wastebasket, so to speak,, by a lot of subordinates who are opposed to change and who. In his own organisation, had kept It trom the controller general himself." He declared he believed officials are able to learn how efficiently and economically their various departments are being run only through such business reports as the postofflce department. The government, he asserted.
