Al STATE’S EXPENSE
NOT LIKED BY TAXPAYERS

BY JOHN W. KELLY.
So little confidence have member!
of Governor Pierce’s official familv
that he will be re-elected that they
apparently have decided to have a
good time in the short tenure of
office remaining, or make their
jeace with the republicans, in viev
of I. L. Patterson’s practically cer­
tain election as chief executive.
Operating, it would seem, on the
policy of “a short life and a merry
one,” various officials are indulging
themselves with transcontinental
trips at the expense of the taxpay­
ers and with the approval of the
governor.
In all instances, of
course, these, junketings have the
color of official business,” and na
tional conventions have proved an
excuse for them. It was not so long
ago that Governor Pierce expresse 1
his disapproval of' officials running
around over the country at state ex­

Pierce has been absent from his of

His appearances at the statehous
are like angels’ visits; few and far

churches and the like, and for these
excursions he files an expense ac­

R. R. Turner, recently appointed
state superintendent of public in­
