Sndcr Dodges Facts
Unfortunately Mr. Snyder has always I
dealt in generalities. He hns never I
' given figure tu back up his nsnertiens, J
sive en ene oei-nsion. 1
This was before the Commission te
'Ili-erganlze the State Departments, which '
nill be di.vu'-scd later en.
Mj specific charge, made weeks age,
was that Charles A. Suder in his re
port te the Legislature of Vyi, a re-j
pert which inspired the orgy of nppro nppre
ptiatluns. that charaeterlwd Uiut bed,
I ad through Igneranep. earele.ssncts or
deliberate purpose, unstated the Iniomej
'f tiie State uvnllable for general ap
propriation, such ns schools, charities j
and publie institutions. 1
Uh placed the Income, npprovimately,
it .$C"i.O0O,MlU. when, in fatt, It was
n' Jil.'i fMHi.OOO. a difference, it will
hi elisened, of S17.000.000.
Ordinarily, it euhl seem incredible
that thf chief fiscal officer of a great
State could perpetrate Mich a gross
error. Its only explanation is found
in Mr. Snuler'.s assertion that, "I leave'
the details of my office te my suberdi- 1
nates." '
And the way was this; Mr. Snyder
hgurcd every penny of money received
b the State, from whatever source, as
available for appropriation by the Leg
islature. ( Them are cprtaln sourcee of income
1 designated by lnw te be devoted te cor cer
I tain purneM's. Thus, the Income from
automobile licenses, under the present
fiscal system, cannot be used for public
schools, hospitals or the expenses of the
Legislature.
Snderesque Tabulations
Notwithstanding these legal restric
, liens, Mr. Snjder figured, In the mene
I available for general purposes, Mich

The Intent excursion Inte the do
main of big finance by State Treasurer
' Snyder was his remarkable charge last
' week before the Commission for the
Ueorganlzatien of the State Govern
ment. Stete Senater Geerge Woodward, of
I (itrmantewn, i chnirman of the com-
I mission, and Harry S. McDevitt, pri
vate secretary te Governer Sproul, is
the secretary.
f IJefere this commisMlen Snyder as
serted that there were millions of del-
lnrs te Ik! collected in the way of taxes,.
That If the present Auditor General.
1 Samuel S. Lewis, was diligent in the
present stringency, the crisis in the
State's finances would net eist. That
there were millions of dollars remaining
1 te be collected and turned Inte the State
I Trea.surv.
1 In thin connection It must Le borne
, in mind that the term of Mr. Snyder as
Auditor General expired In May, 1021,
when Mr. Lewis succeeded te the office.
Mr. Snyder meantime became State
Treasurer by the choice of the Repub
lican voter of the State.
Snyder Fixed Own Rules
' The offices et State Treasurer and
Auditor General are elective, therefore
the people are responsible for Mr. Sny
der and his thirty jears of public office
holding. Governer Sprnul. who appoints nil
ether officials net elected by the people,
our anv oilier State official, cannot be j
saddled with this responsibility.
In the eeure of Its work the Weed-I
ward Commission for the Itisirganlza Itisirganlza
tlen of the Stnte Government has been
homing executivii sessions until such
tune as it in ready te present a report.
This fact bus been Impressed upon ull
Stute officials, heads of departments and
empleyes summoned te appear before it.
State Treasurer Snyder was asked te
'ppcar. Did he observe the rule of the
commission?
He did net.
Ilefere entering the .tearing room he
handed te the newspaper correspondents
a prepared statement in which lie at
tacked the present Auditor General,
saying that "If dellmiuent taxes were
collected there would be no stringency
in Stale menetnry affairs."
The commission, informed of this
fact, immediately sent a copy of the
evidence given by Mr. Snyder "te Audi
tor General Lewis, us It was in effect
a rellectleu en his official conduct. Te
this Auditor General Lewis replied:
"The statement of Stnte Treasurer
Charles A. Snyder is se utterly absurd
that, had net the Commission for the
Ueorganlzatien of the State Government
referred his list of alleged delinquent
taxes te me, 1 would net have dignified
it with notice."
Hardly u Illiishlng Violet

cently circularized the newspapen of
the State with un right-page pamphlet,
addresbed "Te the Teople of the Com
