A POINTED CRITICISM,

There can certainly be no room for
doubling the esteem in which Green
Preuitt, secretary-treasurer of the
Montana Stock Growers association
is held by our Dupuyer contemporary,
the Acantha. The recent report of
the secretary for the year 1900 is
commented upon vigorously and items
of interest to stock owners are
brought to light industriously. 1.-The
secretary" says our stickery contem-
porary, objects to the investigation
of his office, but volunteers little in
formation although of course not cal
culated to mislead. For instance, we
find that during the past year about
1000 brands were recorded. either as
originals or transfers. for each OF
which the secretary collected 81 with
out any warrant of law, which means
that he quietly assimilated the sum of
$4,000 to his own personal use, at the
expense of confiding stock owners.
There were 1859 stray cattle report
ed as returned" during the year out
of total of 1SO,O55 inspected, but
the disposition of the proceeds is not
accounted for further than the state
ment that they were forwarded to the
secretary-treasurer of the stock asso-
citation for disbursement to the respec-
tive owners"
These stray cattle must have
brought at least 100000. and why thy
disbursement of the sum is farmed
out by the stock commissioners to
the Pooh-Bah of private organiza-
ton and the accounting therefor is
not Incorporated in tae1r report would
naturally be matter of surprise; but
hold, on looking over the list of stock
commissioners we find that each OF
them is member of the stock associ.
alton. and nearly all if not every one
of them was also member of it's ex-
ecutive committee in addition to the
office he held under the state. Cen
tralization appears to be the natural
tendency under modern conditions, so
we would suggest that the state treas.
urer follow suit and organize a bank
to be carried on in connection with
his Office, and whenever person gets
inquisitive about his transactions with
the state, how easy it would be to say
that the particular matter under con-
sideration was the individual business
of a private institution.
