NO REPLY MADE
TO JEFFERSON
HOUSE ADOPTS MAJORITY RE-
PORT ON AUDITORS OFFICE.
No Rollcall, and Not Voice Raised in
Defense of the Report, Which Is
Stubbornly Attacked by r. H. Jeffer-
son-He Defends Truth of Minority
Report. r@

The house today adopted the maiori-
ty report Of the public accounts com
mittee on the state auditors office. 1t
was done without even one voice being
lifted up in justification Of the docu
ment. R. H. Jefferson of Bingham Lake
made strong and dignified protest, to
which no reply was made, and the mem
bers, by common consent, avoided q
rollcall, SO that no one took any indi-
vidual responsibility. -.
P. E. Bowling moved tho adoption.
M. S. Carl Immediately moved, as a
substitute, the adoption Of the minori-
ty report. r. H. Jefferson, another
member of the minority, then took the
floor. He said: =
cit seems to me right and proper
that those who signed the minority re-
took such action. I believe that every
man, no matter how high he is, is bound
by the laws of this state. 1 also be-
Geve that any man in high office who
is ignoring the laws is doing something
which in the long run will demoraize
the public morals and injure the pub
lie g interests.
According to the report of the ma
jority of the Committee on the auditor s
office, the law has not been followed,
and the double and treble damages ex!
acted by law for trespass have not
been collected.
"This report claims that the audi:
tors have discretionary powers I
challenge any member Of the commit
tee to show me any law that gives them
any such power. Who has given them
the right to do discretionary acts'7
"The facts are that there has been a
blot. on the fair name of Minnesota al
most ever since we became a state. The
people have tamely submitted year
after year to the systematic robbery of
our school fund, set aside in trust for
the benefit of our children.
Mr.. Jefferson read from the state law
governing timber permits, and allowing
only one years extension. He then
declared:
",This law has been violated by the
auditor office eleven times in the last
year. These violations were brought
to the attention of the committee, but
there is not word about them in the
!! majority report. - ~
