Washington Governor Says
Extravagance Cry Is Cam
paign Bugaboo.
RECORD MADE HIS SPONSOR

Wherein Opponents Have
Fallen Short on Facts.
SPOKAXE. Wash.. Nov. t. (Special.)
Governor Hay, Republican candidate
to succeed himself today. Rave oui 10
nlfht hiii closinz statement of the
camnalrn.
"Now that the campaign is draw
ire to a close. I feel that it is oppor
tune that I should make a final state
ment respecting- my candidacy to th
Deonle of this state. '
From the day that I announced my
candidacv for Governor on the Re
nuhlican ticket trior to the primaries,
down to the present time. I have based
my campaign on the record of my
administration and have offered tha
record of thinics accomplished as
guaranty of my good faith in carrying
out my pledges of further progress
made to the people in case of mv re
election.
Extravagance Cry Follows.
""The uroeresslve character of the
laws enacted and the faithful admtnis
tratlon of the state government during
the Dast four years so far as the au
thority of the executive extends, has
not been questioned or assailed by any
of my opponents. Failing to find here
a point of attack, they have set up
the cry of extravagance, the time
worn slogan of professional opposition
which, in this Instance, has been
thoroughly exploded.
"Early in tha primary campaign one
of my opponents made a bid for votes
by promising to save isoo.uuu a year
to the taxpayers if given the oppor
tunitv. He was soon followed by an
other rival, who raised the bid to $1.
Oou.000 and now in these closing days
a third rival still further raises the
bid to $2,000,000. I presume If a little
further time were allowed some bright
candidate would promise to pay divi
dends to the taxpayers were he per
mitted to handle the finances of the
state. All of the claims of these gen
tlemen have been conclusively shown
to be absurd and mathematically lm
possible. They unquestionably have
been made in the hope of discrediting
the excellent financial record of the
present administration and to detract
from the exceptional record or pro
gressive enactments that have dis
tlngulshed, the recent legislative ses
slons.
"As long ago as last July I issued a
statement In pamphlet form dealing
with the cost of state government and
giving the exact figures showing the
financial condition of the state. Up to
the present time that statement has
stood unchallenged for the simple rea
son that It could not be controverted
honestly ,
A.ortloa Shows Ridiculous.
The figures given in that statement
show how ridiculous is the claim that
tiOO.000 or $1,000,000 or t2.000.000 can
be saved each year by any rearrange
ment .or elimination of state commis
sioners and departments. It shows that
the. only way any saving nearly ap
proaching the least of these figures
can be made is by absolutely ceasing
to exercise all of the functions of gov
ernment vested in the public service
commission, the tax commission, the
Industrial Insurance commission, the
bureau of Inspection and supervision
of public offices, the board of control
and the other administrative depart
ments and by pauperizing the penal
charitable reformatory and educational
Institutions of the state.
The gentleman who now says he
thinks he can save the state 12.000,000
a year if given the chance, suggests
tiiat the one way would be to abol
ish the tax commission as a starter.
How effective that would be as a
means of economy can readily be
understood when he notes that the an
nual expenditure of that board is a
little over J 18,500, while it collected in
indirect revenues In from in
heritance taxes, escheats, private car
and express companies and state
liquor licenses the sum of $313,675.81.
The collection of this revenue is not
merely clerical, but requires the ap
pearance in court of the members of
the commission to represent the state
in scores of cases involving escheats
and the settlement of estates.
Vlf this so-called unnecessary com
mission were-. abolished some other
board or commission would have to be
created to perform Its duties or else
the state would lose a large part of
the $313,700 annual revenue In striving
to save the I1S.000 annual expenditure.
I fear the gentleman Is talking
through his campaign hat or else he
knows too little of the conduct of state
affairs to be entrusted with official re
sponsibility. Cry la Campaigns "Bugaboo."
"The fact Is the whole cry of ex
travagance Is a campaign bugaboo, en
tirely devoid of substance. On the con
trary, the present administration has
managed to place the state in the
soundest financial condition it has ever
experienced. We have paid off all the
general fund bonded Indebtedness,
which amounted, when I became Gov
ernor, to $1,200,000, which, by the way,
was a legacy from the Democratic ad
ministration, to which one of the can
didates now points as proof that he
who was one of the managers of that
administration can make a big saving
to the people If elected, and we have
turned a liability of $826,179.19 in
September, 1908, to a resource of $244.
55S.39 in September. 1912.
Instead of the per capita of the state
government showing an increase, it
shows a very material decrease during
this administration.
In 1909 the amount raised by direct
taxation for the state general and mil
itary funds was $2,244,338, while in
1911 but $!.2n0.398 was raised by direct
taxation for these funds.
Coat la Greater Now.
It Is true that it costs more now to
run the state government than it did
tn years ago, but In that time the
ltula't!on of the state rqore than
doubled; the Federal census of 1910
shows an actual increase of 120 per
com; the number of state wards In
the several Institutions is more than
three times as great, and, the cost of
all supplies, food, clothing and mate
rial of every sort has reached upward.
Ton years ago the state had neither a
railroad nor a Public-Service Commis
sion: now it has both in one. Ten years
ago the state did not have a Tax Com
mission, as it has now. Neither did It
have an Industrial Insurance Commis
sion, as it now has. '
"So with many other departments and
functions of government that have
roroe at the express demand of a pro
gressive people. Of course, we could
abolish all of these and go back to the
conditions of ten years ago. when big
business and the timber barons abso
lutely dominated the politics in tha
?overnmprt cf the state, ar.u t. e cr
dinary citizen farmer, merchant, trad s

Every Child Should

When children have no appetite:
when they are continually peevish and

that their digestive organs are troubled
with worms or other parasites. This Is
a very common ailment and easily rem
edied. Physicians will tell you that
nearly every child is so troubled at
some time and. In fact,' many adults
suffer in tDe same way. Among adults
this trouble Is Invariably referred to as
indigestion, when in reality t is due to
a. small parasite which infests the in
