A news item has gone oat from Tai
Iahassee that the expert accountants
employed by the original committee 20
investigate the acts Of the internal Inn
proyement Board had made an error Of
1920 in figuring the pay Of one Of the
/ members for twenty-nine days. This
| bit Of information was sent out with a
great fare Of trumpets. But it now
/ turns out that there was no error. Mr..
| Buchanan, chairman Of the committee,
says that there was no error, and, what
is more, proceeds 70 prove It, and does
prove It,
The actspf the board may be correct
in every particular. We are sincere in
the hope that this will be the case, but
the friends Of Gov. BroWard have acted
in such manner in the appointment OF
this committee as TO throw doubt upon
the subject; they have acted for all the
world as If there is something behind
the scenes that they do not wish re-
vealed, and the Investigations would
have carried mcah greater weight and
would have been far more effective If
all the members had not been known by
what are designated as friends of the
administration. "-Ocala Banner.
Better be careful or you will be sum-
mOned before that commission TO tell
what you know about the doinRs Of the
Internal Improvement Board since its
creation, and have Florida's Gear Gov
enor ply you with various and divers
questions connected with these matters,
in an effort to make you admit that the
Internal Improvement Board created
by one Legislature is greater than its
creator; that the board has "prece-
dents" for selling lands quietly at cheap
prices, and that they can "sell for
what they please" Editor John Cald-
well had some experience with the COM
mission and the Governor last week,
but The True Democrat will let him
tell you of IL in his own way. As for
ourselves, we were questioned by him
as TO when we had been before his
board or any member Of it seeking TO
be informed, etc.. whether we had
known of any cheap sale in the years
before the last two administrations, of
the character Of the lands, their loca-
ton, etc., ETC., with an insinuation that
we took orders from some one or more
TO criticise and oppose his plans and
schemes. That's all in keeping with
him, however, in his manner Of dig
ging" those Florida newspapers who
do not swallow him and his ideas and
schemes In connection with Internal
drainage operations and
other official actions, and the world
moves on just the same. Napoleon B.
Broward, Governor of Florida, seems
10 be the biggest thing connected with
that Investigating Commission just
now, or he was Tuesday, when we were
before 1t. Strangely enough, the 'dear
people" have no professional or other
representative at the meetings Of the
but the precious board Is
represented at every meeting by its
head and champion, Gov. Broward, who |
takes delight In playing lawyer and
examining the witnesses.

A STATE CASE.

A private citizen contracting a debt
and when able TO do so, allowing It TO
stand year after year without an effort
to pay II, Is rightly considered not
worthy Of confidence and his credit is
far below par among business men.
What then can we say about the United
States government when II has allowed
a debt OF honor 10 remain unpaid for
twenty-five years The entire conduct
Of President Garheld's funeral was
given into the hands Of w. r. and F..
A. Speare, undertakers of Washington,
ID. c., and when their bill was pre-
scented, the committee TO whom was en-
trusted the settlement of such claims
reported that they thought II excessive
and failed to pay II. Since then, al
though several efforts have been made
in Congress to bring the matter up and
pay the bill, there has been nothing
done. The death Of one Of the under
takers causes the matter to be brought
TO public notice. Where no specified
sum has been named. under the circum-
stances, il is a national disgrace TO have
this debt remain unpaid. gainesville

True as gospel, and our fair State
stands under a similar cloud, end al
ways will stand so, until the State OF
Florida settles the now repudiated and
honest WALES claim. The State en-
ployed him at the cost to himself to
work up and collect that claim on a
promise to pay him 10 per cent, on the
collection, and as the matter now stands
refuses to pay him the commission, and
even goes further and refuses to allow
him to carry his case into the States
