Representative c N. Killou2h to- day introduced in the house a reso- l1ltion providing foG the appointment of a committee on finance, to con- sist Of nine members, for the pur- pose of making an investigation into the condition of the states finances. In support of his resolution Mr. Kil- l0u9h said that there is a wide differ ence of opinion as to the financial condition of the state, and that the purpose of the Investigation he sought was to let the people know the exact status of affairs. lie said that one branch of the government said the state is facins a deficit while another said it is not. lie said the purpose of his resolution Was to find out just what the condition of the states fi- nances were when the old aGministra- tion retired so that the present govern or might get a square deal. The re- solution was adopted with only one negative vote which was cast by Mr. Cravens.

"The One WOnan."

The Right Reverend Bishop McFaul of Trenton, N. J., speaking before the fifth annual convention of the American Federation Of Catholic Societies recently, in men, tioning the splendid stand taken against Socialism by Thomas Dix on Jr. in his new play "The One Woman" said: ..The man who be- gins to delve into the tenets of So- cialism becomes exceeding broad not onoly alng political lines but moral lines as well. He invariably mistakes liberty for license l would not say that the liberalist and the libertine go hand in hand. but it is amazing the number of men who discover they are mismated after they take up with Socialism.
 "The stability of this nation rests upon the American home. So- cialism would stretch out her foul hands upon the property of the peo- t ple.
