BEING DUG INTO.
State Board Holds Another Secret
Session Today to Inquire
Into the Facts
METHODS SEVERELY CRITICISED
Governor Cutler and Secretary GroO
Decline to Discuss Question OF Re-
ported Removal Of BOOkkeeper.

During the past couple of weeks there

ings ~ the state land board, Some Of

Governor Cutler was asked by the rep
resentative Of the "News" whether the
statement that he had summarlly re-
moved or that he was about to thus
remove Jesse Il. Badger the land board

Byron Groo was then appealed to for
information on the subject, and he, too,
declined to be interviewed upon 1T.
However, II is well known fact that
the conduct OF Mr. Badger In accept
ing money from persons who were bid
ding on state lands has been very
much criticised in official circles during
the past two or three weeks, In fact,
the charges have been Of a serious na-
turo In this regard, and conspiracy 10
deiraud has been alleged. Several state
officials including many members OF
the Legislature, have detained strong
~ against the methods that have been
pursued. IL Is asserted that in one
specific case Mr. Badger received $3.50
from land bidders to get out of their
way. This has direct reference TO a
Cache county transaction, II Is also
avcrred that there are other cases in
which the state Is said TO have been a
money loser through this course OF
procedure, and that the sum total may
run into the thousands. Mr. Badger Is
not the only man limited at as having
made money In this manner Mean
