Much progress was made this week
in unravellng the tangle and reveal
ing the duties OF the Board Of Agri'
culture and the Board of Public AT
fairs. The Cook Construction Co. had
carried a case into court in which they
sought to mandamus H. +. Trapp
State Auditor, to sign the warrants
for the construction Of buildings at the
A. 4 NJ. college on contracts by the
Board Of Agriculture without the o. h
of the State Board Of Affairs.
Hon. A. II. Huston, judge Of the Dis
trict Court, found in favor Of the
plaintiff and ordered the state Auditor
to audit the accounts without The @
k. of the Board of Affairs. Thi-
action places the entire management
OF the Agricultural college in the
hands of the Board Of Agricultmo
which is also the regents of the A. q
u. college.
The Board of Agriculture has main
tanned that the law creating The
Board or Affairs did not operate
against ho Agricultural Board bc
cause il derived its powers from inc
Constitution The District Court UP
holds this contention and declare
that the act is void so far as 1t at

Replying TO inquiries from number
of county officials OF the state, state
Auditor Trapp today sent out a letter
in which he expresses the belief that
county trcasurers are not authorized
by law to accept any amount OF taxes
less than the full amount shown by
the tax rolls to be due and payable by
the individual or corporation making
the tender.
The question has arisen over the at
temnt of the Pullman Car Company
and the Western Union Telegraph Co,
to induce the various county treasur'
ers of the state to accept a partial
pavment Of the taxes which would be
dne from said companies under the
assessment of 1908, were such assess
ment properly extended on the TAX
rolls of the different counties. BY
telegram the attorneys for the Pull
man Company offered to pay seven
tenfhs of the taxes that would be due
under the assessment and the West
ern Union co. has offered to make
payment on a basis Of onethird OF the
assessment.
In July. 1908, after the state board
had fixed the valuation OF the Pull-
man and Western Union companies,
and before the State Auditor could
certify such valuations to the various
counties. the two companies named
secured from the Federal Court a
temporary restraining order, prevent
