A Fake 8cheme Costing the Taxpayers About a Quarter of a Million Every Time the Legislature Meets—Examiners That Never Examine—rhe Fed- eral Government Does For Nothing What the State Government Robs Us for Not Doing At All. Six thousand gix hundred pages of printed matter, at a cost to the state of many thousands of dollars, with an- other volume to come before the expi- ration of the current year, represents the work of the bank department of Pennsylvania from the date of its or- ganization in 1891 up to the present time. That it has been of any use to any mortal man or woman other than those employed in the paper making, the type setting and binding the eight huge volumes, and the commis- sioners, deputies and clerks who compiled them, no sane man, familiar with the facts, will undertake to main- tain. Prior to 1891 bank statistics were com- piled and the banks looked after by the auditor general, without costing the state one penny in excess of what would have been paid to that official and his subordinates anyhow. As to the effi- cacy and adequacy of this old time method, Mr. Charles H. Krumbharr, who was the first chief of the new de- partment, in his report for 1892 says: “They (the auditor general and his as- sistants) were always ready to act in case of trouble overtaking an institu- tion, and have rendered service in dis- counting the business of weak institu- tions which were endangering the com- munity.” If the new and costly de- partment has done even as much as this in the cause of honest banking and the safeguarding of depositors, the fact is not apparent, but seems to be quite fully disproven in the recent al- most unprecedentedly disastrous bank failures in Philadelphia. The banking department was created by an act of June 8, 1891. That act provided for a superintendent, to be ap- pointed by the governor, to serve for four years, at a salary of $4,000 a year, and not more than three clerks, whose annual salaries should not exceed $1,400 each. During 1892, according to the re- port of the auditor general, there was paid out of the state treasury for the support of the banking department the sum of $1,000. In 1893 it was $19,314.33, and in 1894 $18,183.16. But during all these years the department was self supporting, the expenses of examina- tion, paid by the banks, amounting to more than the expenditure for salaries, ete. But in 1895 another act was passed, creating a bank department, that had already been created and in operation for four years, and giving to it the su- pervision of ‘banks and banking com- panies, co-operative banking associa- tions, trust, safe deposit, real estate, mortgage, title insurance, guarantee, surety and indemnity companies, and all other companies of a similar char- acter, savings institutions, savings banks, provident institutions and every other corporation having power and re- ceiving money on deposit, and mutual savings funds, building and loan asso- ciations and bond and investment com- panies.” By this act the salary of the superintendent was fixed at $6,000 per year, and he was empowered to appoint, in addition to his three clerks, a dep- uty at $2,500 per year. Also, from time to time, to appoint examiners “in such | numbers as may be necessary for the | conduct of the business of the depart- | ment, not to exceed ten in number,” at a compensation of not more than $10 per day. In the same year (1895) the general appropriation act was made to give to the banking department (for two years), which three years before | had cost the state the modest sum of $1,000, the following amounts: Salary of chief (two years... $12,000 Salary of deputy (two years).... 5,000 Salary of clerks (two years).... 8,400 Salary of examiners (two years). 90,000 Salary of stenographer and type writer (two years)............. 1,800 Salary of messenger (two years). 1,800 Contingent expenses ........... 5,000 POA oases dha didi At the previous election one B. F. Gilkeson, an attorney and professional politician of Bucks county, had been chairman of the Republican state com- mittee. himself a master of boodle methods in politics, and as a reward for such ser- vices it was decreed that the salary of the bank commissioner should be raised 50 per cent and Mr. Gilkeson given the, place. Accordingly, on the 11th day of In that position he had shown ! i This year all the divisions of the party February, when the legislative session | was as yet but a few days more than a month old, the necessary act, having been rushed through both houses, was signed by Governor Hastings, who obe- diently and immediately proceeded to fulfill the decree of the machine, and Gilkeson became the commissioner. In 1897 the appropriation to the bank- ing department was again fixed at $124,000, and the commissioner and his deputy and his three clerks sad his ten examiners continue to luxuriate on the fat of the land, while the banks 80 on collapsing in greater number and with greater loss to the taxpayers than ever before. Speaking of the examiners, it is a somewhat remarkable fact that, as shown by the state treasurer's reports, the monthly payments to them always amount to just as many hundreds of dollars as there are secular days in the month. Ten examiners at $10 per day make exactly $100. See! And yet there are no examinations required by law and none are ever made. The places of these men are absolute sinecures. They are nothing more than barnacles on the good old ship of state, helping by their dead weight to sinkjit in the sea of bankruptey and disgrace. In addition to being a gross fraud upon the taxpayers, the banking de- partment exists in violation of the ex- press mandate of the constitution, which requires that all such matters as come under its supervision shall be subject to direction by the secretary of internal affairs. When the miners of the state sought to have a mine de- partment created as a thing separate and distinct by ilself, which the miners themselves should have some voice in centrolling, the law officers of the com- monwealth were quick to find that suen a project would infract the fundamen- tal law, though how that instrument can be construed to permit a separate bank department and disallow a sepa- rate mine department, only a conni- | represents, cenee...$124,000 ving attorney, in the pay of the ma- The 1896 report of the commissioner chine, can explain. | of banking, which is the last printed | How It Has Grown to Its Present Awful Propor- tions—De mocratic and Republican Rule Compared. | volume we have from his hand, shows | that 194 nstitutiems, banks, savings | banks and trust companies made re- port to him. In the state of Pennsyl- vania there are 450 national banks. The United States are a great power, with apparently unlimited means, and yet they managed, in the interest of a proper economy, though each bank is required by law to be actually exam- ined as to its accounts and resources at leasfy twice in each year, to do this work without any expense to the gov- ernment, the regulations exacting from ‘the banks a sum that in the total bal- anced the cost of the department. An- #ther somewhat significant fact is that only five examiners were required to look after the 450 national banks, while Mr. Gilkeson has ten $10-a-day assist- ants making believe to watch and cor- rect such fraudulent and dangerous practices as the 194 state banks, sav- ings banks and trust companies may venture. ‘While on this branch of this most interesting subject let us again go back to Mr. Krumbhaar, who organ- ized the department under Governor Pattison, and who seems to have some conception of the seriousness of the business in which he was engaged. In that report Mr. Krumbhaar said: “While I recognize the efficacy of periodical re- ports and the publication of a suffi- cient portion of the same to acquaint the public with the condition of our several institutions, and the names of those responsible for the management, experience has shown that no depart- ment can be safely run by depend- ence upon reports. Many matters of management and objectionable prac- tices may be readily omitted therefrom, which would be most apparent upon a personal visit of an efficient and trust- worthy examiner.” This was six years ago, and yet to-day the banking depart- ment of Pennsylvania depends exclu- sively upon reports, makes no examina- tions until after the newspapers have teld that the banks are failures, and the time for examination has gone by, and Mr. Gilkeson and his fourteen assist- ants pocket an eighth of a million dol- lars anually for work that is purely perfunctory and of no more use to the state than nothing at all. In addition te all this there are the strongest rea- sons for believeing that in conjunc- tlon with the management of the state treasury the banking department winks at practices by certain of the banks that are depositories of the state’s moneys that, being notified to the peo- ple, would make them the objects of a very proper distrust. Mr. Wanama- ker referred to this phase of this mat- ter in sundry of his speeches. A ma- chine banking department is a rational and very probably profitable adjunct to the political banks that do business on the state’s moneys, contribute a large share of the funds that help keep the machine in power, and, like the late Mr. Kemble’s institution in Philadel- phia, go down in their turn to a chorus of denositors’ tears, general execra- tion and notorious suicides. Swallow’s Chances. Absurd Claims of His Managers—Can Do No More Than Help Quayism. Absurd Claims of Ris Managersz~<.:z Do No More Than Help Quayism. The chairman of the Prohibition state committee is a gentleman by the name of Jones, and he is rapidly attaining celebrity as the most extraordinary political counter in the business. Last year he had the Rev. Swallow elected state treasurer by a considerable ma- jority. And, notwithstanding the fact that Swallow polled less than half as many votes, or more than 124,000 fewer than Brown, the Democratic candi- date for the same office, and 150,000 less than Ritter, the Democratic candidate for auditor general, Jones is as jubilant as ever, and certain that Swallow will beat Jenks, and all but certain that he will be elected governor. Here are the exact figures from the record: Brown, D., for state treasurer..242,731 Swallow, P., for state treaurer ..118,969 Brown over Swallow svsiveive ++ 128,762 The difference between the Brown and the Ritter vote, 25,610, probably approximately, the num- ber of Democrats that voted for Swal- low last year. But the Democratic party was then very much demoralized and disheartened and, besides this loss of 25,000 to Swallow suffered to far larger extent from stay-at-home voters. are united and the Democratic ticket is one that enlists the esteem and in- spires the confidence of every Demo- cratic voter, to say nothing of the great number of independent Republicans who have already pledged Mr. Jenks their support. Under these circum- stances not a tithe of the Democrats who voted for Swallow last year can be expected to do so this year, and, instead of beating Jenks, there is as much chance of the overflowing lava of Vesuvius extending to and making a second Pompeii of New York, as of his coming as close to Jenks as he did to Brown last year. No great astuteness or skill in calculation is needed to understand the clearness of all this. It.is plain as the sun at high noon. The most the highly impractical shead of the Prohibition forces can do is to help Quayism by enlisting independent Republican sup- port that would otherwise come to Jenks. The few Democrats who have been, up to now, talking about voting for Swallow will be brought to com- prehend this long before election day comes around. So will many of that class of independent Republicans who: are sincerely anxic.s to rid the state of Quayism. Jenks is a growing candidate. Every- where he goes, or his friends go, his support is increased. Swallow is far stronger today than he will be a month hence, though he is not now, and never was, strong enough to come within many thousands of the lowest vote ever cast by the Democrats in the state. . - Mr. Jenks is a forger. He is forging ahead at a pace that smacks very strongly of getting first at the win- ning post. The Philadelphia Press calls Swal- low the ‘fire alarm candidate.” The Press is not ardently for Stone, but evidently prefers Stone to Swallow. The Democratic press of the state has never been more unitedly for a Democratic ticket. The Republican press has never been more shakv in its allegiance to a Republican ticket. The Junket Business. In connection with state politics in Pennsylvania there are few things more interesting or instructive and absolute- ly nothing more fully demonstrable of the curse of the machine rule than a study and comparison of the various general appropriation acts of the state legislature. Mr. Wanamaker has fit- tingly supplemented the work of the Democratic party, its conventions, com- mittees and press, in explaining to the people that these acts cover many mon- strous extravagances and villainous steals. There are not many of the features of them more prolific and as- tounding in this range of development than those that touch the sums voted for legislative junkets, “extra services’ of legislative committees, and the multitudinous commissions that are constituted for the sole purpose of put- ting unearned money into the pockets of the henchmen and retainers of the dominant party throughout the state. A carefully compiled table, made up from an item-by-item segrch of the general appropriationacts forthe past15 Years shows that in 1883, the first year of Governor Pattison’s first administra- tion,therewasa total of $7,348.91 awarded for these purposes. These included the expenses of investigating the State col- lege, the clerical force of the several state departments, the western Penn- Sylvania insane asylum and peniten- tiary, and the accounts of that expen- sive appendage to our state govern- ment, Mr. John C. Delaney, then occu- pying the position of librarian of the senate, which had no library. They covered also the cost of the Bos- ler-Wagner contested election case ($1,185) and of a commission selected to report a comprehensive system of bookkeeping for the several depart- ments. In the year 1885 there were still fewer appropriations of this kind, the total being but $3,918, out of which an item oi $1,200, for the expenses of the com- mittee to investigate the Standard Oil trust, Governor Pattison vetoed, leav- ing a balance of but $2,718.43 taken from the treasury by the general appropria- tion act, as finally made a law, for these purposes. In 1887, however, General Beaver hav- ing in the meanwhile become governor, these appropriations swelled to $16,965, an increase of several hundred per cent. As illustrating the careless and fraudulent methods that had already begun to prevail, $6,000 of this total was voted in a lump sum for four investi- gations, an excursion to Gettysburg and a member’s funeral. It was not until 1889, however, that there was anything like a really riot- ous revel along these lines. Beaver was still governor, and the aggregated items in the general appropriation bill for these unnecessary and unlawful uses reached the enormous sum of $123,868,- 50. These included $17,860 for a house contest and $39,759.72 for a senatorial contest, entirely unprecedented figures, $15,000 for a committee to examine and report upon the charitable and correc- tional systems of the commonwealth, $6,000 for a commission to codify the road laws, another $6,000 for a com- mittee on industrial education and $10,700 laid. out in taking the legislators to participation in the centennial inauguration of George Washington as president. And Beaver never interposed a single veto. A unique item in this list is $100 for a committee on amended orthography. There was certainly a bad spell of ap- propriation legislation about that time. It was so bad, in fact, that its cost to the taxpayers was greater even than the accomplished and proposed similar steals of the 1897 legislature, including both those in the general appropriation and those in the special appropriation bills, and the citizen who believes in honesty and economy in state expendi- tures may be pardoned for asking where were Wanamaker and Swallow then? In 1891 the Democrats again had the governor and that year the appropria- tions for junkets, &c., in the general act were but $73,859.33, and of these Mr. Pattison vetoed items aggregating $34,116, leaving the actual outlay but $39,743.23, or less than a third of Beav- er’s last term figures. In 1893, warned doubtless by these ve- toes, the legislature made the general appropriation act cover only $3,466.12 of such expenditures. But the Republicans came in again in 1895, and that year the total was $115,486.92, or about $15,000 more in the general bill than there were in 1893 in both the general and the special bills together. Here again was a sharp summons to Republican reformers, but they failed to put in an appearance. Hastings had not yet fallen out with the machine. His vetoes, in 1895, of this class of items amounted, all told, to $40,715, leaving a balance awarded of $74,771.92, or nearly 22 times as much as the total for Pattison’s last term. The 1897 legislature voted for pur- poses within the category under discus- sion $41,401.43 in the general bill and $60,123.02 in special bills. Of the aggre- gate, $101,524.45, Governor Hastings ve- toed, all told, but $30,823.90, leaving the actual waste or fraud at $70,691.55. There was absolutely no excuse for more than probably a tenth of this outlay. It comprehended, as fully ex- plained in another article, very many audacious swindles in addition to the handful exposed and overridden by the governor. And yet the cost to the state of the whole business was much less than that of 1895 or that of 1889, though, in those years the Democratic protests went utterly unheeded by the so-called Republican and Prohibitionist reform- ers, and the perpetrators of the scoun- drelly grabs pocketed the swag and were in many instances triumphantly returned to the places they had dis- graced. No fair man can ponder and digest the figures here given without being forced to the conclusion that, both by promise and performance, the Demo- crats of Pennsylvania have approved their title ag the only genuine and re- liable reformers of corruption and inex- cusable waste in the matter >f the state expenditures. Messrs. Bower and Trickett were nominated because they are brainy men, and would grace the superior court bench. Every man who knows anything knows rhat Swallow cannot possibly win. Therefore, wise Democrats will not throw their votes away upon him. . His LIFE Was SAVED.—Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., late- ly had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: ‘I was taken with typhoid fever, that ran into pneamonia. My lungs became: hard- ened. I wasso weak Icouldn’t sit upin bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King’s New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief.
