Present State Administration I Has Put Pubiic Business. I Before Patronage
AND PARED PUBLIC PAYROLLS
More Work Don* for L«m Money ¦• ¦ Rooult of tho Abolition of Urv- nocoooary Dopartmenta and tho Conoolidation of Othora.
Albany.—During tho terma of Got- ornors Dix. Suizer and Olynn, the pay¬ roll had the right of way over erery other form of pubUc expenditure.
New departments were created on the most trivial pretexts and old oetalv Ushed departmenu had their working forces amplified to astonishing propor¬ tions, chiefly to make Jobs.
Important state business that offer¬ ed no chance of new ]obs was pushed to one side and necessary public ex¬ penditures were deferred in order that salaries of purely uartisan appointees might be paid.
The procedure was productive of nu¬ merous scandals in nearly all depart¬ ments of the government and the vot¬ ers manifested their displeasure with conditions by turning the Deiaocratk party out of power. 11 was a case of too much payroll.
The present administration has par¬ ed payrolls, abDllahed unnecessary de¬ partments and spent money for the transaction of necessary state busi¬ ness.
The State Engineer cut J,")05.000 off the payroll and expenses of his depart¬ ment during his first year In office; and it stayed off.
The department of public wirks cut the cost of extraordinary repairs to the canal from $1,50,000 to $(56,000. It dropped the unnecessary office of ap¬ praiser of canal lands with a result¬ ant savluK of $22,000 a year and it added $12,000 a year to the state's revenue from rentable lands borderInK on the eansls.
The new Court of Claims, which suc¬ ceeded the dilato^' Board of Claims, has cleared up over 1.600 cases which had been accumulating during the four years of Democratic administra¬ tion ami has thereby saved the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in Interest charges.
The State Tax Commission brought Into the state treasury over $12,'>.000 In fees In thn first year of its exis¬ tence and has ailflnd J.SO.OOO 000 to the assensments en special franchises. The state excise depiirtinent has ciii the payroll and expenses over $")'»,ono as compared to t'p prer'eding Demn cratic admlnistratifin. . The Insurance dopiirtment hiB_dr)ii ped twenty suporfliioii'^ em'do'e'^ al ded during the previous a:lminl?tr'i- tion and thereby sa\el the st^.to ovnr $40,000.
Tho expensive fire nnrplial's office that cost the stiite $i2r.,noo du-ln'.' the ndmiiilstratlcns of Dix. Sii'/or and Olvnn has been ren'aced by .¦~,m'<ll bu¬ reau In the Industrial rnninii alou at a crmt of a few tlioujand.
Over »2OO.n00 was saved in the llvc'i- way department dnrintr t'le Ikmi year of tbe present ftate administration bv • dispensing wit'i exjienslve advisory boards nnd ab di ififni,' unnecessary and useless positionr-.
The State Industrial Ccm^'ssiin .will save the 'Jta'" ilil- vear In its cost of operatloM :«"14Sfi'!.
The Agrleiiltiir il I'epartment cut' $70,000 from it'^ DMvroll by dropplns employes who''e les« In no way Im¬ paired tlie work of the department.
Since .lanuary 1. 1016, the .AftOT-iipy General has collected and turned Into the state treasury $600 000, a larger amount thnn was ever collected before In any year since the office was estab¬ lished.
By reorganization and the abolition of unnecessary positions, the eflBce of the State Superintendent of Rleetlons Is costing the state $l.')."i.000 lesg than j under the administrations of Dix, Sul- rer and GIvnn.
By the aboUMon of the Depa-tment' of Rffiolency and Economy, establish-1 ed under Governor Suizer. the state Is 'saved an unnecessary expense of about a quarter of a million dollars a yeiir.' The present state ndralnlsfratton ! paid off the legacy of debt left by Its, predecessor In Its first year by the' levy of a direct tax made necessary; by the obligations handed to It by the retiring Glyitn administration. It, has adopted a pay-as-you-go policy ¦with strict business methods in every department with the result that there will be no direct tax this year.

Perhapa.
"Many property owners are prepar¬ ing to trim their ahade trees, and tbe beautification of tbe city will be the j reault," says an optimistic paragraph- er in tbe State Journal of Frankfort. \
Possibly, but not necessarily. |
When shade trees are trimmed tbe i proverb that fools rush in where an-1 gels fear to tread la, too often, ilhis- trated.
Many owners of trees have not the slightest appreciation of the beauty of the structure, and proceed upon tbe theory tliat an elm or a maple will be all the better for the severe treat¬ ment under which the box hedge pros¬ pers. And many itinerant pruners work by the day and prove their value by the litter of lopped branches they bring to the ground under the tree. Sad havoc Is worked when tbe com¬ bination of Ignorant owner and vandal pruner exposes to saw and shears the growth of years and the dignity that belongs to all unmutiiated trees. And the Judicious often grieve without a hope of affecting the course of van¬ dalism.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

How many church socials or enter¬ tainments nave you attended since tbe first of the year? Thia is one of the questiona which waa answered by 1,200 boys and «lrls recently in response to a request for Informa¬ tion by the Survey and Organizing Committee of the Nassau-Suffolk Co. Y. M. C. A.
Tbe replies show that the Church is still a great factor in the social life of the community. There are a lot of people who are worrying about the decine of the influence of the Church, and it la posslbe that aa an institution it does not occupy the po¬ sition that it once did. No hope waa entertained, however, of securing an answer to that question by the res¬ ponses to the Inquiry mentioned above but the fact that 65 per cent of the boys and 78 per cent, of tbe girls In the High Schools In thirteen typi¬ cal communities, have attended such social affairs during the period men¬ tioned, shows at least that the Church Is a factor as a social institu¬ tion.
Ail of us lecognlze that the Church Is more than a recreational facility. It is very fortunate, however, if It can be a directing force in that field. No doubt the financial return from many church socials is dlscouraging- ly small; that a group of faithful people work hard and earn very lit¬ tle, but the larger return of the church social in wholesome enjoy¬ ment for large numbers of boys and girls is adequate compensation for the time and energy expended. Long may the church social floitrish; may there never be less of them, and may the Quality of the chicken pie remain as high as of old.
The home party Is another old- fashioned form of recreation about which information was sought. Can't you remember how you used to look forward to the next party, and how you used to enjoy them? Only 29 per cent, of the boys and 48 per cent. of the girls played host during the past year. Compared with church socials, dances and motion picture shows, the home as a social center cuts but little figure. When all of the replies from the 1,200 boys and girls had been tabulated It was found that 'np (very time the boy jilayed host fn his own home, he went to ten church socials, to twelve dances and to nlne- ey-elgbt motion plfture shows. The girl, for every time she entertained, ;ifiended seven church socials, seven dances and forty-one movies.

Wants to Know Why.
Why Is It that a careles.^ seven-yoai^ old boy can drop a half-burned match In nn alley and burn up all the barn- in the liloek. while an abled-b.idl.Ml man has to use up a box of mutches tn get a wood fire started In a heater thai has draft enough to draw all the furni ture up the stovepipe? — Leliaum.

Sincerity.
Sincerity is the most compendious wisdom and an excellent Instrument fur the speedy (llspat<'h of business; It creates confidence In those we have to deal with, saves the labor of many Inquiries, and brings things to an Issue in a few words; It is Hive traveling In a plain beaten road which commonly brtng.s a man sooner lo his journey's end thfin byways.—Addison.
