the public school fund. It was in
Geer's power to break up that school
ring, by hiring a clerk for 800 to dig
up all the lieu lands, and make them
public. At the same time his board
should have advanced the prices of
school lands to $3.50 an acre, at which
the ring sold them, instead OF the
minimum price of SIPS, at which the
school board sold them. He would in
this manner have put 100000 in the
state school fund.
If Geer shall call that special ses-
sion. the cost of which will equal the
saving on salaries, it would be a good
idea to have an investigation of the
school land ring. 1t would be well to
find out If there was any truth in the
charge made against our honest gov
ernor who is so anxious to save at
the spigot, while he ignores the waste
at the bung.

Since Saturday hundreds of names
have been signed TO the petitions for
a special session of the Legislature to
enact fat salaries and put direct legs-

The Journal went out Saturday with
several thousand blank petitions, and
this week win see greater results than
the present weeks work. The citizens
who sign these petitions can say they
did the proudest act of their lives, and
one that will bear good fruit for all
time.
New petitions are in from Wood

and Pratum, Marion county; Woods,

The people who think at all In the
line of good government reforms are
heart and soul for the special session,
and can see nothing personal in the
matter for or against Geer, or any
other man.
Every state official. and every county
and any other official and every mem

footing will feel proud of II as long
