place. Accordingly,
February, when the
was as yet but a few days more than a
month old, the necessary act, having
heen rushed through both houses, was
signed by Governor Hastings, who obe-
diently and immediately proceeded to
fulfill the decree of the machine, and
commissioner.
In 1897 the appropriation to the bank-
ing department was again fixed at
$124,000, and the commissioner and his
deputy agd his three clerks and his
ten examiners continue to luxuriate on
the fat of the land, while the banks
go 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 sink it In the seca
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
