As q fair sample of the regard the
state officials have for appropriation
laws the expenses for taking care Of
the state capitol for the past f0nr
years will furnish striking example.
These expenses ore under the control
Of the governor, secretary OF state,
and auditor directly, hence the res.
possibility for overriding the law 's
directly qrcn their shoulders. The
law authorized these gentlemen to
spend $1,000 yearly up to July l, 1897,
when It was Increased by the legis-
lature to $4,000. 1t is claimed by
members Of the last legislature that
the bill which was actually agreed
upon and passed was $23, 500 for the
maintenance of the capitol building
for. two, years. but the bill was chang
ed by one Of the enrolling clerks at
the instigation Of some one to 1885,
600. This was possible, as it was q
bill that passed the last night Of the
session. Even after perpetrating this
crime the state officials cannot regard
their own law and keep within Its
limit. The state treasurer's report
shows that they have paid bills for
the capitol as ,follows:s .s
Year ending July l, 1895. $40. 81. As.
Year ending July 1. 1896, 81 .OO7. 64.
Year ending July l. 1897, $50 $50. 70.
Year ending July /. 1905, $24, 529.28.
The appropriation for these four
years was $4,000. This hoard actual.
" raised ss1', 100 18. Or $40, 100. Is more
than they had any warrant in law to
do. Such fragrant disregard of our
appropriations should be looked into
by the next legislature and the. board
of capitol commissioners ordered pro-
secuted and the money returned to
the state treasury. This sort Of work
will largely account for the present
deficiency in the state treasury. not
withstanding the. fact that $4,000
yearly for the past four years in ex-
cess of former years have been rung
from the taxpayers Of the state. How
do. you like it? What are you going
to do about it, Mr.. Taxpayer?

did not make any fuss about it. being
a good republican. but some measley
reformers jhowled down the alley as
he was leaving the woodshe,. after
customary visit, and gave the snap
away. The fact was we'll known
at the time of the republican state
convention, but they considered him
just the man to catch the woman vote
and to propagate good principles, ETC..
so they nominated him with wild en-
thusiasm. The w. C. T. U Of North

"a few dried up old maids do against
such lively man as he?
..Halland, you are daisy; you are
! a credit to your party if not to Your
ancestors. You are all right, and we
think you will get there, but If by
chance you get left, move down to
Otter Tail county and the republicans
here will make you county superin-
tendent of schools. They delight to
honor such lively men like you. Hal
land, we greet you, improve the shin
ing hours. Go it, you amorous son
Of Norway! Go it while you are
young, gather the roses that bloom
in your pathway, and when you get
old and rheumatic, and your joints
creak like an old barn door, you can
repent and lead a different life, and
when you come to cross the dark river
you will get big harp in the heaven

a GANG fAlstnooD

A long published Interview with
Supt. G. C.. Cchmidt Of the James
town schools, tells why he Would
not accept the pop. nominations 1or
state superintendent of schoOle-
because he was a teacher, not q
politician. and besides, the fRtsr-
view asserts. "Mr. Halland fkls
made the best superintendent the
state has eyer had. and for the
educational interests In the sthte
it would be pity to make q
change. @
The above is taken from the Port
land Republican. 1t is sample Of
the statements kept In circulation
through the medium Of some of the re-
publican papers. It is an extract from
a false interview by Prof. Schmidt
published by the Cakes Republican,
who has not the decency to offer even
an excuse for his very unprofe ssional
conduct even after the article has
been denied and repudiated by Prof.
Schmidt. If these republican papers
were honest in their intentions they
would print Prof. Schmidt's denial in
stead Of continuing to circulate what
they know is a false statement. But
it is the only way in which the swiftly
falling fortunes Of a certain John G..
Halland can be bolstered, even TEN.
porarily. 1t is one Of the straws at
which a drowning candidacy is clutch
ing. and it is the adoption of just
such methods by Halland supporters
that demonstrates that Halland IS al
ready defeated.

In recent issue of the Argus ap-
pears a letter from State Examiner
Langlie, addressed to the republican
state committee, in which he endeav-
ors to prove that the state treasury
is in excellent financial condition, AID
will be by January LIST. 1t is a peer
defense of the poor f1nanciering of the
present administration.
Mr.. Langlie does not dispute the
fact that there are large amount
Of overdue warrants, $4,000 and
vouchers, probably aggregating at
this time $4,000, awaiting payment
by the state.
There is no great difference be-
tween the general statement of Mr..
Langlie and that Of myself, except
that his division Of the years differs
somewhat Mr.. Langlie makes
some omissions.
The point in dispute is this, how
ever. The statement made by myself
was on the authority Of State Treas
urer Nichols that the collections for
the general fund Of the state treasury
for the last four months Of the. pres
ent year would be from 100000 to
$4,000.
The auditors books show collec-
tons of $4,000 for lie same period
last year, but two years collections
of personal property were practically
received owing to the change in the
revenue law last year.
Mr., Langlie estimates the collec
tons for the last four months Of
this year at 1922, 1883. He bases
this estimate on the assumption that
penalty attaches to personal taxes on
January list.
Mr.. Langlie should post himself up-
on the revenue law. The penalty does
not attach until March LIST, and unless
the farmers pocket books are so
bulged out, from the proceeds Of 80
cent wheat, that they are inconven-
fenced from carrying them around,
the receipts from 1898 taxes will be
very slight until after the first Of the
year. If Mr.. Langlie will consult
State Treasurer Nichols upon his re-
turn from the east and post himself
upon the revenue law. he will prob
ably agree with Mr.. Nichols that the
collections for the months in ques-
ton will be. from 100000 to $4,000
as reported by him to me. This
point settled, Mr. Langlie must. con-
cede that my estimate of a shortage
of s150,oo0 in the state treasury Jan
uary LIST next, is not far out of the
way.

The more the last assessment Of the

on every side over the raise made in
the assessment Of personal property.
The board did the right thing in
raising the railroads Of the state, but
the question naturally suggests itself
as this same board has assessed the;
railroads Of the state for the past four
years. Why did they not. heed the
demands. aof the people, and ;resolu.,
lions Of the past two Legislatures
