O J STATE WERE n BY Tells Why Cost of the Gov- ernment Has Increased t,o a Great Extent. IN ADDRESS AT SYRACUSE SYRACUSE, March 2S.—Senator Henry M. Sage, chairman of the Sen- ate, finance committee, Tuesday after- noon addressed the Association of Manufacturers and Merchants on the question of state expenditures. He spoke as follows: \The appropriation bill of this year as submitted to the Legislature totals ?59,390,811.95, an increase over last year's bill of $4,523,73S.79. This ex- cess is entirely accounted for-in extra construction of state buildings, ex- tra support for common schools, dif- ference in pay for state employes in military- service and in increase in compensation for state employes of. about a half million dollars. Our over- head this year is'practically the same as last year. The amount of $59,000.- 000 plus in the appropriation bill does not represent by any means the total appropriations which will be made by the Legislature. \Added to this are $13,341,000 for debt service, $575,000 to meet federal aid for highways, maintenance and re- pair of highways in the state, $7,650,- O00; an emergency appropriation due largely to the price of coal, and food- stuffs in our state institutions, $1,534,- 000; the purchase of the two great toll bridges over the Hudson for the high- way department, $1,700,000; additional amount necessary to finish canal ter- minals, barge canal, $900,000; appro- priation for a vehicular tunnel under the'Hudson to the city of New York. $1,000,000 necessary appropriation for difference in cost to complete high-way contracts heretofore awarded, at least $2,500,000; allowed for special bills, $1,000,000. The-e added to the appro- priation bill will mak> the total ap- propriation this year approximately $90,000,000. \I want to tliffrrentiatp between ap- propriations and expenditures. All of the money appr^pr:' •• - <1 each jcar is by no means spent. There are delays in construction, t' :ir • vacancies in the service, and there are many causes which contribute to the.return of a large amount of each appropriation to the general fund. Still the'.amount spent-in .thiscomingtiseal.-year -will be larger than the expenditures of any one year in the history of this stale. There is very good reason for the peo- )le of the state to ask why. It was sasy i n the past year or two to blame sverything on the war, and to a large •stent the war was to blame, but now hat the war is practically over, now hat we are daily abolishing the com- aissions and activities which the war nade necessary, the amount still limbs, and I cannot say to you too trongly that it will continue to climb. \The cost of living as you know has not come clown t o any appreciable ex- tent. The cost of materials, and the state is an enormous purchaser, is al- most the same as it was a year ago. Within the last few days i n attempting to get bids on a certain bridge con- tract the best bids obtainable were at leats 20 percent higher than they were at the end of 1917, when on account of war conditions this particular contract was deferred. Added to all this extra cost of doing things as we have always done them there come the isistent demands that we shall do them better than we ever did them before.\ Our standard is higher and a higher stand- ard always means added cost. \It is but right that the people of the State of New York, who in the end have to pay the bills, should know exactly why this large 1 amount of money is needed in order that they may approve or disapprove the man- ner in which the financial affairs of the state are conducted. Reason for Expenditures. \As I understand it I am asked to- day t o tell the reason for the expendi- tures of this large amount of money. Figures are not interesting. It i s very difficult alter listening to a speech bristling with figures and percentages to go home and digest the unpalatable mess and in the end have a very clear idea as to what it all means. I feel however, that if the business' of the state and the way in which appropria- tions are today made were thoroughly understood the people of the state would approve, because this is the greatest state in the Union in popu- lation, wealth and resources and it is not only right but the self respect of its citizens demands that it should lead the way in every proper improve- ment which has to do with the wel- fare of all of its citizens. \In approaching this subject I have taken for comparison not the approp- riations but the expenditures of the years 1914 and 1918 because 1914 was the year to which attention is called when appropriations are discussed for political reasons and 1918 is the last year for which expenditures are avail- able. Expenditures in 1914 from the general fund were $53,563,355 and in 1918 $73,142,571, an increase in the four years of $19,579,216 or 36 per cent. A state government can be run with the four great divisions, the ex- ecutive, legislative, judicial and ad- ministrative. In these fomr years the total expenditure for these four divis- ions has increased $507,0119, about 8 per cent only, and this increase is en- tirely in the judicial division. The in- crease in that division being $567,- 000, which shows an actual decrease in the other three. Where Increase Came. \It is very interesting while we are talking figures to note that while the total increase was $19,579.',216 it is al- most all accounted for in the following groups: Penal, curative and chari- table, $5,764,042; educational, $1,001,- 925; agricultural, $591,214; regula- tive, $634,661; highways, $2,414,453; debt service, $3,499,860; defensive, $3,487,500; a total of $17,393,745, or within slightly more than two million dollars of our total increase. \There is no question as to the ne eessity of any of these increases. We are building a new prison and are en- tirely remodeling the olid prison at NEED TBI Of a Good Tonic Medicine, Nsrve Buiider and Blood Purifier Is greater than ever before. The nervous strain, worry and anxiety caused by the war,— The debilitating effects of the ter- rible influenza, grip and pneumonia,— The depletion of the blood by in- ' door life in Winter,— Have tremendously'overdrawn the reserve strength of nearly every man and. woman. This makes the favorite Spring medicine, Hood's Sarsaparilla, more of a necessity now than ever before. For your impure, exhausted blood, and - for that extreme tired feeling sure t o come, prepare yourself now. Today begin to recover your lost strength by taking Hood's Sarsapa- rilla, the standard Spring medicine and blood purifier, which creates a keen, appetite, aids digestion and as- similation. Remember Hood's Pills .if you need a mild laxative. Sing Sing which was a disgrace t o the state. The care, of our insane is' a subject which has'been studied care- fully for the past two years and there is no question but that the state in order to do its full duty will have to spend at least twenty million dollars in adding to old and constructing new institutions so that there may be some possibility of doing a way, with the fearful overcrowding and a chance may be given for curative work rather than for chronic care. \There is no one of our charitable institutions which would not appeal to the heart and the pocketbook of any one of my hearers. A largely increas- ed appropriation is needed not only to put those now existing into proper condition but to build neAV ones as' necessity arises. Entirely apart from construction, the food, clothing, coal and compensation for employes have increased in all these institutions in the same way that they have increas- ed i n all parts of the state. We need more money for education. No one will grudge one penny of the millions which must be expended each year for the carrying on and improvement of our educational system. The war taught us that we must spend more money on agriculture and that the department must be a help to- those throughout the state who desire to in- crease production by adopting modern and scientific methods. In the regu- lative group we not only have been taking on new activities by leaps and bounds but we must take on more where it can be shown and proved to us\ that the public health requires it or that there is necessity for such regu- lation of industrial conditions as will give both employer and employe a square deal. \Our highways, for their mainte- nance and upkeep will require more and more money every year. The ex- penditures of 1918 are far behind the necessary expenditures for the coming year. As long as the highway money is spent honestly nobody in the state will complain because of the amount expended. Our debt service is a charge over which we. i n the Legisla- ture have no control—it is a matter of law and the money must be ap- propriated to maintain the credit of the state. Our last large increase is , . , . . - in defensive which i s of course almost ture 1S made as Perfect as human m- entirely due to war conditions,, The genuity can. make it and yet i n the end amount appropriated this year shows th e question as\ to\'whether for every Considerable decrease over last dollar appropriated a dollar's worth of undobutedly this activity : service is given is one entirely of per- WHERE §tf(t#glfem& '(Sm^ YOU critical buyers are especially welcome in this store.

Critical Period. \With all these drains on the public treasury various bodies having no care for the money it will cost are con- stantly besieging the Legislature and suggesting to it new state activities. Some of these are necessary. Many are desirable, and almost all have be- hind them a large impulse of thought nearly always eitaher charitable or humanitarian. I want to instance one of these this year, the health insur- ance measure. If this was put into \ffect leaving out of consideration the desirability or undesirability of any such government activity, it would cost, I am informed, to administer it, at least ten million dollars a year and the charge on the state from employ- ers, taxpayers and consumers would yearly amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. We are in a period per- haps the most critical of all time. We are faced with new forces which we, do not yet understand. It is a time when everyone should stand with his feet firm on the ground and should use to the best of his ability such intelli- gence as the Lord has given him. \The activities of the state which are now a matter of law comprise al- most every form of human endeavor. Do w-e wish at a time when it is in- creasingly . difficult to find the neces- sary means to impose on an already overburdened government new meth- ods of spending money for undigested purposes? I think not. If we don't take up a single new activity we must spend yearly larger and larger sums. The lid is not a comfortable place to sit on. It is already moving. The- weight of two men (I speak of those who are held responsible for drawing the financial bills) is not sufficient to keep that lid down much longer and the only possible way that the expen- ditures of the state can be kept with- in bounds is by a concerted move- ment of those who, wishing to keep New York in the forefront* at the same time realize that too much gov- ernment i s a bad thing and that i n the end, no matter how camouflaged, the ultimate consumer pays. I don't think we have yet gone too far. The things for which we are spending money are all desirable. \If one travels anywhere in the state of New York by railroad, or bet- ter still, by automobile, he cannot make a day's run without finding an evidence of the state's activity either in a state institution, a park, a mas- sive lock of the canal, an agency for the industrial commission or some other state commission or some other activity and of course every mile he travels on a state road means main- tenance and repair for that mile by the state. Government is not govern- ment unless it is properly administer- ed. In the expenditure of 60, 70, SO or 90 millions of dollars yearly by the state there is sine to be some waste. From the time that the request is made by any department for an ap- propriation to the time that the mon- ey is paid out by the state treasurer after audit by the comptroller the 4.t.;m t'.;i ..ippi'ojiij.itfu.u and ^xxiendi- sonnel \I cannot sa'y to you that you are getting a dollar's worth for every dol- lar that you pay directly or indirectly into the state but I do say that not- withstanding the ideas of inany to the contrary from tne beginning to the end of the line there are men with a high sense of public duty who are do- ing the best they can t o see today that this result is attained. Consequently I believe that the standard of honesty in the state service is higher on the \average than in any private business. Incompetency does exist. Waste does exist and a very slight extent dis- houesly, but if you will do as I have done, spend a part of your summer in visiting the institutions of the state, visit the farm and industrial school at Industry or any one of the great hos- pitals or charitable institutions, or will examine with a critical eye any one of the state's activities which can easily be found you not only will ap- prove of every cent expended but you will have good reason to be proud of your state. You will also find that in the activities of the state there-is more of human interest than you over guessed befor-e, and you will have a new feeling of respect for the army of employes, amounting to more than twenty-two thousand, who are making thes,e things possible and who are very often underpaid and unthanked for the work which they are doing.\ Annual Meeting of the Pres- byterian Church of The- resa Is Held. from a visit at Ogdensburg.
