THE CONTINGENT FUND
STATEMENT BY SENATOR CLAYTON POTTER

pense. $500: total, s65.o0 small
amounts evidently drawn for trips or
some other matters Of expense con-
nected with the office. With these
trivial exceptions. the items for which
vouchers are missing were for trans
actions occurring not less than three
years ago.
Vouchers Were Taken.
Excepting the three small Items
amounting to $65.00. just mentioned,
the only other items for which there
are no vouchers were for transactions
during Mr.. Edwards term as private
secretary; transactions having been
made from three to six years ago. Mr..
Edwards testified that vouchers we're
taken for all these items. / here set
out at length the testimony Of Mr..
Edwards before the committee with
reference to the manner in which the
contingent fund account was kept and
showing the extreme care Gov. Varda-
man exercised in keeping the account
properly for legislative examination.
Mr.. Edwards said:

TO the PsopIs d MIssIaslppI:

To the People Of Mlssissippis
Since criticisms deem unjust to
Governor vardaman have been made
concerning the report Of the Joint com
mittee Of the house and senate on ex-
ecutive contingent fund. Of which com
mittee / was member. feel II my
duty to present the matter to the peo
pie OF the state as understand it IN
the light OF the report signed by US,
including my summary. testimony Of
creditable witnesses before our com
mittee and whose explanations Of this
matter have been wholly ignored.
Vardaman Filed Report.
In the first place, invite the atten.
ton Of all fair-minded people to the
fact that Governor Vardaman's report
was examined and approved BY the
committee for the years 1904 and 1895.
Hon. George Edwards, treasurer Of
Mississippi, and whose correct admin
istration of his high trust recommends
him to your credence, testified such
report was kept with proper vouchers.
Our committee Of 1910 found, too. that
Gov. Vardaman had made his report
and it was on file ready for examine
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1910-05-25


tion when he retired from office in
1903, but, through an oversight, we
failed to check over and approve same.
The fault was ours. not his. 1t is abb
solutely undisputed that these ac-
counts were made out, as required by
law, and if same had been published
in the journals no further examina.
ton would have been made.
Examination Was Invited.
Gov. vardaman invited an examina-
ton of the details Of his official ac-
count in 1908. Mr.. Buck testified that
such account was made at the request
of Gov. yardaman and was on file in
the Office until destroyed months after
Gov. Vardaman's administration ter
minated. Had the governor not been
desirous of a rigid inspection of his
account he would simply have sent his
report to the legislature with mes
sage, the same would have been az
cepted and approved without question,
printed in the journals, and the matter
ended there. But deeming 1t his duty,
he very properly had his secretary
make out his report and keep 1t In the
office, where the vouchers are kept
in order that It might be checked up
item by item. This, I believe you viii
agree with me, Is the correct business
method of dealing with this account.
Had the committee gone to the execu-
tive Office in 1908 and checked UP
the account, as did the committee Of
1906, the vouchers on file would prob
ably have been examined, but had
Gov. Yardaman sent his account direct
to the legislature IN message, It
would have been received, printed in
the journals, and no further questions
asked
Such was the course Of action with
reference to Gov. NoePs account when
sent in, and the only reason Ia the
world his administration was included
Ia the resolutions to examine for six
years was to make It appear that the
resolution was not adopted as direct
thrust at Gov. Vardaman Had it not
cen for newspaper articles with ref
renee to the vardaman contingent
fund no examination Of Coy, Noel's
expenditures would have been made.
SO, all fair-minded men will at least
concede that GOV. Vardaman invited
inspection Of his accounts and such
would not have been his course had
such accounts not been correctly kept
Th's fact alone ought 70 clear him Of
all charges Of an unbusinesn-like man
agement of such funds.

Vardaman's private secretary for two
years and ten months and MT. M "

fmy memory, It is impossible for me
to make a correct statement of this
account Some of these items began
March 1st, 1904; about six years have
elapsed, and, of course, it is impossi-
BILE for me to keep books in my head.
I wish to say further that while was
the private secretary of Gov Varda
man, that it was uniform custom
never varied from, SO far as my recol-
lection goes now, to take receipt for
each warrant and all sums Of money
paid out OF the executive contingent
fund. Governor Vardaman was so
careful about this matter that he was,
he semed to me, continually and eter-
nally instructing me to be careful
about keeping the vouchers and about
having them all In one place for the
inspection of the legislature. wish
to state othis committee that a vouch-
Ter was taken for all expenditures and
filed in the governors office. / think
that covers pretty fully what wanted
to say

that an itemized account of his ex-

NEW BEET HARVESTER

neseret News
George. Austin, agricultural super.
intendant of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company, came up from Lehi yester-
day quite enthusiastic as result oil
his inspection of a new beet har.
vester lately patented by John Dewey
assistant engineer of the Sugar COM
pany. The new harvester was tested
esterday at Lehi in the presence of
a large number of farmers, all of
whom were great interested. Mr..
Austin is free to say that the har-
vester is the most capable of any
similar machine he ever saw, and
1t 1t works regularly as we'll as it did
at yesterdays exhibition, he says it
will revolutionize the harvesting of
beets and make fortune for the in
ventor. The machine is quite simple
being an attachment to the ordinary
beet plow, but it handles the beets
and slices off the top much more
neatl yand evenly than operators BY
hand could do. Mr., Austine says 1t
will make a saving of. at least SO per
cent to the farmers in harvesting
their beets.
