Governor Smith of Montana has sent n
message to the Legislat ture calling attention
to the fact that its members had been paid
too much mileage. 1t seems the members
were given warrants for mileage at the rate
Of 30 cents per mile, under provisions of
section 800 Of the political codes. The gov
ernor said that the last Legislative Assem-
bly, had passed section 1850 of the political
codes. which provided that the mileage
should be but 10 cents, and that he hoped
the Legislature would pass some measure
returning this ovcrdraft to the treasury
But the mistake OF about $1,000 has been
paid out. There seems to be no inclination
on the part Of the Legislators to refund the
money. and in case 1t Is not paid back the
question naturally arises who will have to
stand good for the balance due the state.
