roNNITTEEMAN MAKES MORE
CHARGES AGAINST NESBITT,
Agricultural Commissioner Apparent

cuSpd of Ta2inpSS.
cuSed Of LazinesS.

The work of the BlalOck investigating
Committee is stirring up things about
the state capitol, and especially in the
agricultural department. The feeling
between Commissioner Nesbitt and his
friends and members of the committee is
intense, and collision is liable to occur
at any time.
The investigation has shown that much
greater prices have been paid for fertil-
izer tags and envelopes for the use of
this department than such things usual
" sell for, and Commissioner Nesbitt
has construed questions regarding this
matter from members of the committee
as reflections upon himself.
Mr. Swift, a member of the committee.
is ont in another card in which he says:
"Col. Nesbitt, for instance, issues
about 10000 bulletins, 1000 handbooks.
his annual reports and great many 9th
er pamphlets, all of which require envel-
opes to send them through the mails.
Now, our economical commissioner of
agriculture has been paying for the large
envelopes ST thousand, and any intel
Ggent business man in the United States
can buy the identical article for So, rs a
thousand. This statement is substanti-
ated by the records in the other depart
ments where these envelopes have been
bought by the Thousand at 1915. Now.
if Col. Nesbitt should claim that he does
not know of any place where they can be
bought at these figures and will accept
the information have in hand will be
glad to aid him and at the same time
save the taxpayers this large amount of
money which he is unnecessarily paying
out"
The committee also seems to have dis
covered that the work of the state geol-
Ogist is myth, except in the amount of
money it costs the state. Laziness is
charged against Mr.. Yeates, and it is al
50 said that he is a good minerolOgist but
but in no sense geOlogist. 1t is doubt
tul if the department will survive beyond
The time when the next Legislature meets
and gets down to business.
