Noble WIdemann thought the bill
ought to be Indemnity postponed, with
out being sent TO any committee If the
gentleman wanted Il reason, he could
give him very good one. The law was
Enthusiastically a poor one. In 1887 he
| had suggested the appointment OF a com
mittee to revise the law. The powers
that were at that time could not see it,
but appointed an auditor. In 1888 they
concluded they could get along without
| an auditor, and they would have if they
| could.
Noble j. NJ Homer said his reasons
for the bill were already known. The
| Auditor cost the country 50 600 year,
and 1t got nothing for the money. He
| had wished to agitate the matter, and
| have the law revised, as it would have
| to be some day.
| Rep. K. w. WILCOX was not in favor
! OF postponement. In no other country
was there an officer whose sole business
was 10 watch the Cabinet He was in
sympathy with Noble Horner
| Noble Widemann agreed that the law
| needed revising. He would bring in a
resolution tomorrow TO appoint a com.
| missioner to revise the law and report tc
the next Legislature.
Rep. Lucas favored Indefinite post
ponement now and forever To have nc
Auditor was like sending ship to sea
with no one at the helm. The Audito,
would have had more time, if he had
not had so many law suits with the Min.
lister OF the Interior.
Noble Macfarlane said the Audit Law
was 1uite0mperfect. The Auditor had
told him so himself. To attempt tc
abolish the office was to break down the
barriers thrown around the Government
and to allow incompetent Ministers tc
| do what they please. He could not see
the force of any of Noble j. Nj. Horner's
arguments. What would be thought o.
a cashier or book-keeper auditing his
own accounts. The office should no,
be abolished, and there is no use in re
| ferring the bill to committee.
