State officials blame assembly for higher biennial expenses
Officials challenge a $2,598,041 rise in state operating costs for the two years ending June 30, 1914. They cite increased appropriations by the last general assembly, noting executive departments cost little more while new agencies such as the industrial commission and code commission required funds. They argue actual operating expenses remained steady, and much of the rise reflects non-operating outlays and legislative directives.
