orandato show the date when said Gums were
collected or how long these moneys were in his
hands before disbursement and accounting to the
treasurer.
The committee feels that such unwarrantable
methods cannot be too severely scored, nor the
men who allowed such state of affairs to con-
tlnue to exist Furthermore, we are convinced
that such state of affairs would have been i'm.
possible it the board of trustees had insisted upon
proper auditing of their accounts. An exauina-
ton OF the books of the present treasurer show a
continuance OF the same loose methods as regards
y. +. kobertsons accounting The present treas
urer is desirous of having the books audited by a
competent accountant, such auditing to cover all
pas transactions. The books of the present
treasurer show that but $25O0OO of the $5OOOO0
paid by the state it's contract with the corpora
tlon known as the Red River Valley University
has passed through his hands. The balance of
$500 90 was retained by E. p. Robertson; whether
disbursed or still in his hands, this committee
KNOWS not The present treasurer w. ]. Robin
son. mas received neither vouchers memoranda
OF it's disposal, though he has requested the same
of President Robertson.
In justice to the former treasurer W. L. Carter
who resigned last May, we should say that he has
either vouchers, receipts, checks bills for all
moneys he has disbursed, although. as we have
already stated, large amounts of it were paid with
va
of the board of trustees. The treasurer followed
the precedents of the past, seemingly with the
tacit consent of the executive committee and full
board of trustees.
We further find that all warrants drawn by
Secretary Wallace and countersigned by the presi-
dent OF the board were for the proper amounts
and entirely regular.
In conclusion the committee recommends
strict obedience to the law laid down by the exc
cutlve committee as regards all Disbursements
And furthermore we recommend that the presi-
dent of the fae ulty of the Red River Valley UNI
versity, as long he fills the position of financial
agent, or any other person who shall fill the said
position, shall be required to make weekly reports
of all moneys received and the dates thereof to
the treasurer.
And we would further state that the accounts
for the year 1904 open to the same criticism
those of 1904-5.

itinq Committee.

Wounds, Bruises And Burns

BY applying an antiseptic
dressing to wounds, bruises.
and like injuries before inflam-
nation sets in, they may be
healed without maturation and
i'll about one-third the time
required by the old treatment.
This is the greateet discovery
and triumph of modern surgery.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t 10
an antiseptic and when applied
to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness
and prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. Keep a bot

and it will save you time and
money. not to mention the in

REPORT OF CONFERENCES AUDITING
COMMITTEES OF RR.v.U.

The auditing committee of the Red River VAL
ley University have examined the books of both
treasurers of said corporation and find that the
debtor and creditor sides check up as regards the
amounts received and disbursed. Ex-Treasurer,
w. L. Carter's books for the years 1903-19O4 show
that the treasurer received from all sources
$l2O5S79. Disbursed for salaries, etc., $l2O4977;
balance on hand, $902 w. L. Carters books from
June IA, 1904 to May 49, 1908 show that he received
$15072.OO aud that he disbursed $1597O.79, leaving
balance on hand of 1921.
The books of the present treasurer, W. 7. Rob-
inson for the balance of the year to date, show
that he has received $2,54OsO disbursed $235O14
Leaving balance on hand of $l9O66.
The committee spent most of their time on
auditing the accounts of the year 1O945. To
properly audit said books to the fountain head
would take days and weeks by an expert. The
committee is satisfied from inquiry and a partial
examination that the books showing the accounts
of the corporation known Red River Valley
University have never been properly audited. The
committee finds that large sums have been paid
out without warrants in spite of the action of the
executive board to the contrary; business policy
which the board of trustees should never have
suffered, and it seems to that they have been
criminally negligent in allowing such transactions
to cover term of years. It is inconceivable that
any corporation aside from life insurance com.
panies would tolerate such methods. We would
suggest that the board of trustees in the future
hire a responsible accountant to audit the books
each year that all loose methods of transacting
business may be exposed and terminated.
careful examination of 3. p. Robertson's ac-
counts has shown US the impossibility of checking
them up. We find, for instance, during the period
from June Il, 1904 to May 49, 1906 35 checks drawn
on w. L. Carter, treasurer, in favor of various
parties. The sum of these checks amounts to
$lOSS28 the names of the payees are upon the
checks, but there are no bills vouchers to show
the nature of the services rendered by the said
parties. Further find three orders paid BY E.
p. Robertson amounting to $2692 25; which should
bave been paid by the treasurer.
On the private memoranda slips turned in by
President E. p. Robertson from June IA, 1904 to
Nav 10, 1905 and numbered from 81 to 73 inclusive
we find that he collected $2S517 and that he per-
sonally paid out on orders, bills, etc, $25192 of

the balance $69079 we are unable to state whether
1t passed through the hands of the treasurer or
not. Treasurer Carter thought that most of said
balance was probably allowed on the salary of g.
r. Robertson. An examination of the warrant
book OF the secretary shows that q warrants were
issued from June IA, 1904 to May 49, 1905 number
ed from $50 to 6O3 inclusive; of these eight were
Tor other purposes than salaries of the faculty.
Three of these eight were in payment of insurance
two on account of Miss Sarah E. Mason and the
other three were for bills for various purposes
Ihe amount of the warrants drawn by the secre
tary foot up to the sum of $6,43634; the amount
paid by Robertson himself or by his orders with
out the signatures of the secretary and president
OF the board amount to the sum of $s,725.97.
we call your attention to decision reached
oy the executive committee in regular session as
sembied. The decision was as follows: All bills
incurred which are a claim against the corpora
ton known as the Red River Valley University
must be o. KID by the member of the board who
incurs the liability. This bill with such O. K
shall be presented to the secretary of the board
VINO snail draw warrant for the required amount
said warrant to be signed by the secretary and
president of the board of trustees. After such
signatures, such warrant TO be handed to the payee
on sign ng the corresponding stub in the warrant
book. The payee was then to present said war
rant to the treasurer, which to be his voucher
disbursed by the treasurer from June II, 1904 to
May ID, 1905, we find only eight warrants outside
OF those drawn for salaries to the faculty. lin all
amounting to $6 .436 34) that carry out the pro.
visions we have just cited leaving a balance of
between $4,000 and $1,000 paid out through irregu-
lar channels. We note that this wise provision
for safe guarding the moneys of our conference
school has been disregarded Wholesale and we
fail to see any extenuating circumstances. Furth-
er we note that the secretary and president of the
board of trustees have been inexcusably ignored
in one of their most important functions Furth-
er, we would call the attention of this honorable
body to the fact thst the only way we have of
checking up large part of E. p. Robertsons col
lections and disbursements are from his private
memoranda submitted to the treasurer from time
to time, thing which the board of trustees should
never have tolerated.
What are your committee to do? With but
few exceptions there neither vouchers or bills
to verify E. P. Robertson's figures. Some of his
private memoranda submitted are weeks apart; as
for instance, there is but from June H. 1904 to

The Lanston Monotype people stole
a march on the Mergenthaler Linotype
people and closed contract with the
government to install seyentytwo of
their machines in the government
print shop. 1t seems some Lanston
stock holders were wives of some in
f1uential subordinates around the gov
eminent printing Office and favorable
report on Lanston machines was Sc
cured, resulting in an enormous con-
tract. The Keep committee investi-
gated and found no direct or positive
corruption but President Roosevelt
took the matter in hand and now the
sit Of public printer is open to some
person who can more successfully
steer clear of breakers.
