Johnson, to the Legislature of the State of California, 1917 Investigations at once were held by the board, and corruption and fraud in the business of the state were uncovered. Ruthlessly the old methods were destroyed and the individuals who were guilty were removed from the service of the state. But the great work of the board was to systematize the business of California in such way that it might challenge comparison with the system in vogue in those great business concerns that are models of commercial enterprise. The problem pre sented was to organize an institution doing a business of approximately a year in which for a quarter of a century the controlling thought had been the Operation of the enterprise for the benefit not of the stockholders, but of a favored few. The investigations of the Board of Control disclosed that during twenty years preceding 1910, of the taxpayers' money were expended on the construction and maintenance of state institutions and departments without an audit; that the state law governing the award of contracts was frequently ignored that fraud might be prae ticed; that many reputable business houses would not do business with the state; that contractors had control of the business of certain depart ments and institutions; that it was not uncommon to deliver inferior materials where superior were contracted for. This summary of the results of the investigation by the Board of Control is but a mild statement. The records on file of the investigation of certain institutions, the state printing office, and various individuals will disclose conditions of inefficiency and corruption that beggar description, but which were the necessary results of the old political machine methods. The old system has now yielded to the new order. The old log rolling methods, inefficiency, fraud, corruption and political control have been displaced by a budget system, a searching financial supervision, modern business methods, economy and efficiency.
