$20,000 to aid in better school buildings
Is in the same boat and I feel
i Sure that, both these - laws will be
amended, as both these acts are accomplishing
entirely too much good
tojk any General Assembly to be willi
infe to abandon them.
This makes a total increase which
will neeeeaarily come in the next appropriation
bill of $145,000. So that
the next appropriation bill should carry
$83,466 less than the present one.
Add to this the Increased taxes which
should be reecived from the amendment
in the Refunding Act and the
State should be to the good another
year $122,000.
This praetically covers, as I see it,
the financial status of the State?
which certainly is not bad. There are
a number of changes which should be
made in our laws that would add to
the revenues of our State and not detract,
from the efficiency of the government.
There are some others
where economy could be practiced
without injury to the public service.
By the purhcase of a half-dozen
typewriters and amending the law re
quiring an woucuors to De in tne
Engrossing department, the expenses
here could be cut to $3,000. This
winter we arranged to make an effort
through our senators and representatives
to get the National Government
to take over the care of the Catawba
Indians and if this succeeds it will relieve
the appropriation bill annually
of $6,200.
As I have been able to find It, the
-greatest -single economy that could be
effected woudl be in public printing
Very few officials understand the basis
upon which this Is done. Certainly
the Governor does not, because In
his veto message he used the following
language: . "I disapprove of Item
17, Section 34, because the contract
was duly entered Into In good faith
by the public printers, providing that
tbls work should be done for a STATED
STTM, and it is not .rlfcht; neither
is it legal or Just to tax the people
oi luis OLaie ?o,:>uu.n auauionat wnen
the contract provides that the work
Should be done for a specified
amount" As a matter of fact this
contract Is NOT for a specified
amount, but is so much per page
printed, I am thoroughly satisfied
(that if the reports of all the herfds of
the departments had to be edited and
vell duplicate matter cut out and also
all unnecessary matter eliminated,
the State could save between ten and
fifteen thousand dollors. This Is one
Instance where a now office, even if
we had to pay the official a good salary,
could save the State a considerable
sum. Every Head of a Department
seems to feel that he must make
"his irdport as long as possible, they
array page aftfr page of figures that
no 000 reads and which very probably
they theirtselvea do not understand.
The important part of all these
reports could be embodied In ^he re
port of the Comptroller General. All
tneesafrea from the Governor are
priced by the publlo printed three
Urate?flyst, to the temporary Journal
of the House or flenate .and then In

the p: : manent tkyinrt Jonrnals of
these bodies, and I venture the assertion
tha the Governor's office has
i wai mule iuiiiil; 111c jjrubcui auiniuiaj
tration for public printirg than did
the eight years in which Hey ward and
j Ansel occupied the Executive chair.
I A great manjr citizens complain of
> high taxes and sometimes I feel that
I they are justified in so- doing, and
(yet we must remember that the peo\
pie now require more of the governj
ment than they did years ago. To 11'
lustrate?many voters can remember
I when managers of elections received
no pay, while for this year they will
cost the State $45,485, and Justly so
| because the State (pas no right to call
f upon its citizens to perform services
, without remuneration. Many can reremember
when Wlnthrop was not in
existence at all; now it is a magniI
cent institution educating nearly eight
hundred of our daughters. The Unij
ver8ity formerly aocommodated about
; 150 students, now it furnishes a very
' superior education to about 400. The
I Citadel had a capacity of 160. how it is
J enlarged until annually 350 of our
i sons can and will be accommodated
i there. A few years ago the State
gave us aid to our common schools,
, and now she annually helps them to
i the tune of $145,000?and no money
i la expended for a better cause.
I might, touch on other phases of
governmental expenditure, but I have
already made 'this article too long.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, allow me
to say that T desire to return to my
fellow citizens of Union county, my
j sincere thanks for tbe honors which
they have conferred upon me, and
i while I have not accomplished all that
, I desire for my state, I trust that they
i will credit me with having done all
1 that it was possible for me to do with
' he capacities with which I have been
endowed.
Very respectfully, K.
Lowndes J, Browning.
