STRANGE is also receiving signatures. 1t
is understood the former is larger than
the latter, as there are more people in
the town proper who wish to step on

These are Muscatine, Davenport, Clin-

The state funds in the general reve-
nue. fund are gradually increasing and
the state is past the danger line. There
will be no stamped warrants tho the
funds may run ! ow again in October.
However, now that the treasurer is
aware of conditions, it is believed that
the danger line can be avoided The
taxes are being sent in now by the
county treasurers, and things will be
in fairly good condition from this time
en-. The danger of stamping warrants
that has just passed could have been
avoided by State Treasurer Morrow
had he known of the conditions in
time. There was an unusually heavy
drain on the funds during the close of
1907, and very much smaller receipts.
Had the receipts and expenditures
been normal there would have been
little trouble. Standpat editors have
blamed Governor Cummins for the
low condition of the treasury Dur

which has been longer than that of any
governor Of Iowa, no warrant has ever

of lack of funds. This can not be said
of hardly any other governor of the
state. During the term of almost every
governor warrants have been stamped
at one time or another. John Henri
OFT, while treasurer during Shaw's
term not only stamped warrants, but
secured warrants from the state audi
tor and stamped them to draw inter-
est and then sold them to raise reve-
nue.. something for which there seems
to be no authority of law whatever.
