The fundamental trouble with the
Big Lost River irrigation project
seems 10 be the plunging DISPOSE
ton Of the leading member of the
Trowbridge- Myers company which
had the sale Of the bonds in hand.
If current rumors are true the pro-
ceeds Of the land sale were sunk
in wildcat irrigating scheme in
Colorado and thus the money that
should have gone into the Mackey

failure Of this project to make good

The drawing of funds from the treas

State Board of Assessment for the pay
ment OF expense to the National tax
commissioners meeting at Richmond.
Va, Is now said 70 be In every respect

mour was going to the meeting and that
he had not been authorized TO go.
Mr.. Seymour was appointed delegate
to the governor says he had no idea
tho trip was TO be made at the expense

The incident has brought out the fact
that the state officers often disregard
that portion of the statute which saws
warrants shall not be drawn for the paw
ment OF claims against the state until
they have been ''adjudged" by the audi

state. Rubber stamps are also often
used by authority of state officers whose
signatures are required.

times when claims are on contract and
