Editor in Young's Home Town
Writes Pretty Stiff Article
About Auto Fund Hold-up
An Interesting light on the manner
In which the controversy raised over
the automobile license act is viewed
on the northern tier is furnished by
an editorial in the Wellsboro Agitator,
one of the best known and virile week
lies in the State and published in
the home town of State Treasurer
It. K. Young. Lately the Agitator has
been having a tilt with Thomas A.
Criehton, the cashier of the State
Treasury, over the hold-up of the li
cense money and under the caption
of "Another Bump in the Road," says
in part:
"The most common criticism of the
Highway Department is that while it
is unable to construct and maintain
roads, the salary list goes on. This
was one of the alleged strongest
points made by Cashier Criehton of
the State Treasury in his letter to the
Agitator last week.
"That the readers of the Agitator
may understand the injustice of this
assertion we will state that the salar
ies of the State Highway Department
are fixed by the Legislature and an
appropriation covering them for a
period of two years was made by that
body. It is impossible for anyone to
divert the money thus appropriated

to any other channel. That the au
thor of the letter very well knows;
and he knows, too, that the salaries
of the officials In the Highway De
partment are no more in comparison
than in other branches of the State
Government. And he neglected to
mention how much of that appropria
tion for the Highway Department has
so far been used.
"The Auditor General and State
Treasurer each draw exactly the same
annual salary as the Commissioner of
Highways. Besides both have per
quisites which enable them to draw
$0,200 a year each for themselves
from the public funds. As to which
of the three State officials work the
hardest for the salaries they get, we
don't know; we leave the people to
make their own guess on that point.
Mr. Crichton's regular salary as
cashier of the Treasury is $5,000 a
year, and we believe he also draws
something like another SI,OOO as
clerk of the commissioners of the
sinking fund; his salary thus being
fully equal to the Comptroller of the
Currency of the United States. "Take
a chance on these salaries being made
unavailable! Perish the thought!"
"Do our reformers 'begin to see a
light?" All this is the dual office
holding, about which we have heard
so much rant of late. So far as we
are able to learn, Mr. Bigelow as Com
missioner of Highways holds only one
office, and he appears to be satisfied
with that and isn't butting in to han
dicap any other department of the
State Government.
I "The last Legislature appropriated
to the Auditor General's Department
the sum of $317,000. which was all
'overhead charges'; and it was gen
erally known at the time that Audi
tor General Powell was very anxious
1 that the doors of the Treasury be
I opened wider and the appropriation
increased that he might 'reorganize' |
his department. He got what he asked |
for, and so far as we know there j
wasn't even an insinuation that it:
was a raid on the treasury. He al- I
leged that it brought increased ef
ficiency. The appropriation for the
State Treasurer's Department was I
$126,4 00, which was a good fat ]
amount, too, considering the number
of persons employed.
"The real truth is that the Highway
Department furnished employment to
277 persons, which is more than three
times the number employed in both
the offices of the Auditor General and
State Treasurer. Taking the aggre
gate figures of the appropriations for
these three branches of the State Gov
ernment, we find it is a mighty good
showing: for the Highway Department,
despite that bunch of jugglers who
are trying to make figures show other- I
wise. With less than one-third the I
number of persons employed, the Au- j
ditor General, State Treasurer and I
the men under th'em are drawing to
day more than one-half the salary
cost of the whole Highway Depart
ment. And it is a well-known fact
that the highway clerks have more to
do and put in more hours earning i
their pay."

THE HOPF.LENS QUEST
The man about whom this is writ
ten Is the George Miller who has lived
in many parts of the country, having
as his profession Journalism.
Early in life George was possessed
by R mania to find a town or city In
which there was not another George
Miller. He became peeved by the mo
notony with which he received the
mall of other George Millers, while
the other George Millers read his let
ters and telegrams. He spent sev
eral weary years looking for the ideal
place.
At last he lit in a little town in the
West. It was so little that it con
sisted of the railroad station and a
store, with the roofs of three houses
peeping through the trees of a hill
side four miles away.
"Ah!" exclaimed George the even
ing that he arrived, "here at last is
my town. There's not another George
Miller around. I'll live happily here
for the rest of my life."
The next morning, as he went to the
post office in the store, his step had
a new spring, and his spirits were
high. He was delighted with the
outlook.
When he asked for his mall, he was
handed one letter addressed to Mr.
George Miller. It ran as follows:
"My Darling George: How silly of
you to think it necessary to proposal
to me by letter! Why didn't you doH
it the other night when you here? You |
must have known 1 loved you, goosle. \
I knew a long time ago that you loved N
me, and it was the happiest—"
But George read no more. Emitting
a loud shriek, he threw the letter at
the man I ehind the counter, rushe.d
down to the railroad station, and
bought a ticket. —The Popular Maga
