is committed to a service pension
law and will actively promote it at
the present session. Such law
would mean a pension for every

Treasurer Kepoikai in an interview
in the Advertiser objects to the state
ment in The stars account of the
financial conference yesterday that his
treasury statement furnished to the
banks and business men was "mOre or
less confusing" The fact is that in
the meeting some of those present went
farther than to say more or less
confusing, and at the close of the meet
ing Banker Spalding asked that clear
cut statement be supplied. The Trea-
surer in his interview says:
with regard to the alleged confused
statements given by me, mentioned-in
the evening papers report of the meet
ing, Governor Carter acknowledged,
after an explanation, that the state
ment l prepared for the business men
was about correct 1t was regarding
the words 'unaccounted for that the
misunderstanding occurred. They
merely sgnifed that the item of S42,-
1922 represented such of the outstand-
ing warrants as had not been register
ed"
After considerable discussion of the
financial statement submitted by Ke-
poikai at yesterdays meeting Cover
nor Carter put the following question:
Isn't it the fact that much of the
difficult is due to the fact that Mr..
KepoiRais statements are more or
less confused and that the bankers
have not been able to get from them
a correct understanding of the situa-
ton, and that what is needed is a clear
statement from the treasurer showing
| where the government stands?"
The question was addressed to E. I.
Spalding, the only banker present at
the time, more than to any other man
present. He appeared to have some
hesitancy in answering, but finally
stated that one of the things the bank
ers did want was a clear-cut statement
from the treasurer. One of the prin-
cipal results of the discussion of an
hour and half was a promise that
such a statement should be given.

KEPOIKAI and
CONFUSED" STATEMENTS
WHAT WAS SAID AT THE FINANCIAL CONFERENCE
YESTERDAY REGARDING THE NEED OF CLEAR
AND CORRECT FINANCIAL STATEMENT FROM THE
TREASURER.

"unaccounted for" was an item on the
treasurer's statement which was cor
rected on the spot. What is the
meaning of warrants unaccounted
for" " asked the governor i'm going
through the statement.
Those are warrants not registered,
not passed over the counter of the
treasury YET said Eepoikai.
They are warrants outstanding
then said Auditor Fisher.
The governor added that they We're
certainly not "unaccounted for" and
the item was corrected.
BY the end of the meeting the gov
ernor and others present agreed that
the Kepoikai statement was about
correct But it was not until it
had been gone through and explained
several times and during the first
half of the meeting, in fact until Au-
1itor Fisher came to the rescue with
some clear figures, those present did
not all have the same understanding of
the statement they had received from
the treasurer.
Governor Carter twice said during
the meeting that Kepoikars treasury
statements were not clear and that one
Of the difficulties of the situation ap-
peared to be that Kepoikai had been
unable to furnish clear statement,
and the governors remarks were not
challenged by Kepoikai or anyone else
at the meeting.
Another conversation on the subject
of furnishing statement was between
the governor and George w. Smith.
II think the executive should furnish
a statement such as is required, show
ing what is the situation" said George
w. Smith.
mot the executive" replied Governor
Carter, Il think it is the duty of the
treasurer"
Il mean the treasurer" was Smith
reply. Il used the word executive a.
meaning the executive department as
whole and not in the sense in which
it is sometimes used, to mean the gov,
ernOr."

And let us honor this noble man,
For God, and Home, and Native Land.

On account of the severe winter, the
Game Protective Association is inter
ested to know how the quail have sur
vived in different parts of the state this
winter. The only way to gain these
reports ls for the farmers in different
parts of the state to send in reports
about the birds and if every farmer
who has birds on his place will send
postal card to j. Danforth Bush, Sec
rotary Delaware Game Protective AS
ISOLATION, Wilmington, Del, stating
if the birds have lived through the
winter it will be valuable information
for them. Il it is discovered that a
good many birds have been killed out
by the winter, the Association will
make strenuous efforts to get hold of
some quail to send out, although it is a
very difficult thing to get birds nova
days on account of the stringent state
laws against export, even for purpose
of propagation. 1t is hoped that the
response to this request throughout
the state will be general, as it is the
only way the association has of finding
out how the birds have survived.
