Gov Cox compares 1905 and 1914 expenses in state showings
Gov Cox contrasts 1905 and 1914 administrations noting Hooper ran up $78,860.49 in legislative excess, 87 extra officeholders costing $231,127.14, a $11,747 rise in the governor's office, and $1,870,200 paid on the state debt under Cox versus none under Hooper. Revenue available to Hooper exceeded Cox by over $2 million, yet Hooper’s total cost surpassed Cox by $4,982,569.12. The critique extends to Hooper appointing a powerful, report-to-him auditor and a review of attempts to block bond sales below par. The text also includes a long poem about a G. A. R. event and a brief humor piece.
