From this source alone the State derives over one hunw, dred and fifty thousand dollars an- nually. The supervision of the in- surance companies in some States is dw-mvd suflicient ip itself to be made a separate department with a State officinl for that work alone; but in this State the plan of placing this under the State Treasurer seems to work well tor the present Treasurer, unlimite! tikes care of this who appears to have an capacity for work, m.pmx it with seemingly v little But all this en- Is upon the man who filis the very impoitani position ol Treis- business trouble.

He has been in the State's service a long time. Goy- ernor Mitchell discovered him Illl('('lll rears ago, and finding him to be an expert acocuntant, employed him for checking some accounts of State and county officials, From his own ideas and from his own plans he worked ont the system of checking up the accounts of the county and State ofti- cers. This was in the days before there was any State Auditor, It was a big undertaking at the time and has been of untold value to the State The present Treasurer, then merely an employee on a moderate salary was absorbed in this work when the Governor offered him the appoint- ment of State Comptroller. He de- clined the appointment and contin- ued on the smaller salary to perfect the State's auditing system. After getting that in more sasitfactory shape he was again offered an ap- pointment to State office —and wuas appointed State Treasurer. That was over eight years ago, and so well has he cared for that office in his quiet, eflicient and unassuming way that the people have twice ratitied his ap- pointment by continuing him in u!‘-] tice by their ballots; and those \\'Im] lizve been ip position to know, .~:|,\'1 that Florida has amoryg her exeel- ient officials no better or cient man than b V.
