Virginia for the judgeship. 1t was
generally conceded that Judge Wad-
dill would be the recipient of the new
government plum. there being no
thought of the ultimate defeat of the
measure. The bar of Norfolk en-
dorsed Judge r, II. Prentiss. but, NOT

SHOBER IN
FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
SHOWS COMPARATIVELY LARGE
NUMBER OF CLAIMS ARE
CLEANED UP AND SAVING
IN OFFICE FORCE.

Washington, d. C.-The annual re-
port of Auditor Shober, for the
interior department, has been receiv-
ed by the secretary of the treasury
more than a month earlier than usu-
al, and by comparison with previous
reports contains some data of interest.
1t shows the public business nearer
current than at any other time.
Suoting one passage of the report:
There were $40 accounts and
claims on hand and unsettled, where
as there were 1880 accounts and
claims on hand and unsettled at the
close OF the preceding fiscal year.
During the fiscal year just closed
there were 3,146 accounts and 49,
61S claims settled in this Office, as
against $500 accounts and 21,319
claims settled during the preceding
year."
The report of Auditor Person one
year ago on page 4 said:
"The conditions of business with
| respect to the settlement Of accounts
for freight transportation is unsatis-
factory and "the situation with re-
spect to the examination of claims
for passenger transportation is less
satisfactory"
The report of Auditor Shober
shows a gratifying condition as re-
spects these claims at the present
time, and whereas there were 1862
unsettled claims one year ago, there
now appear but 211, while $3.50 were
settled during the year.
The total audited receipts and ex-
penditures one year ago $685..
936,953.59, while for the year just
closed they amounted to $263,237,.
493.36.
The present report also shows 9

a saving to the governments of $1,000

press much pleasure with this mark.

COMPANIES PAY FOR
ANNUAL STATEMENTS
|ONLL NEWSPAPERS AND INSUR.
ANCE CONCERNS INVOLVED
IN DISCUSSION ABOUT RE-
PEAL OF LAW.

Pierre, S. D.-The convention
over the political ship is becalmed
and even a mild discussion of insur-
ance statements does not cause a
ripple in the sails. The publication
of insurance statements has time out
of mind been a piece of political pap
doled out to the newspapers that be-
have themselves becomingly accord
ing to the standards of propriety of
the commissioner for the time being.
Formerly when the republicans
were in power every republican news
paper got a nip, and this policy was
pursued when the fusionists dominat-
ed the state 10 years ago, and later
under Herried, but since the split in
the republican party the insurance
commissioners have been EXCEEDING
ly discriminating and in the main
only the papers of the dominating
faction have gotten their noses into
the trough.
In the last session of the legisla-
ture a bill was introduced and pass
ed the house a%bolishing the publica-
ton and the discussion attending its
passage made it appear that the pub
lie derived no benefit from the pub
iications; that the people depended
entirely upon the fact that the insur-
ance companies pass the inspection
of the insurance department, and
that the complicated statements are
not examined or understood when
examined.
The present law requires the publ
cation Of the statement Of the condi-
ton Of each company in each judi
cial district, or an expense of about
$3.50 annually to each company. This
expense the companies would like to
avoid and the newspapers would like
to retain. Though a small thing It is
becoming a political issue for which
patriots are willing to sweat any
amount OF ink.
The talk about the repeal Of the
primary has resolved into determine,
ton to drastically amend st in tn
matter of party voting. The most rea
'sonable suggestion is = provision fol
an anti primary rsgiAsation at lsas
