DENVER, Colo, Jan. 3.-The con.
troversy between Secretary of State
Fearce and State Auditor Kenehan
eliminated near the close of last week
in the Indictment of Pearce by Den
yer grand jury for his refusal to allow
the public accountant access to his
books to audit his financial accounts.
The history of this controversy is a
long one and those who have watched
it say 1t will end only after Democ-
racy has been split in twain. Kene-
han secured the enactment of the pub
lie accountant law, which gives unto
his appointees the right to examine
the financial affairs of any state Off
cial or employe. Kenehan and Pearce
have never agreed on the policy OF
state government. Time and again,
Kenehan has sent his public account
state to examine the financial affairs
in the various departments. Recently
Mr.. Pearce declined to allow them to
check his books for the biennial Pc
riod. He gave as his reason, that
kenehan was prosecuting rather than
prosecuting. Kenehan reported the
matter to the grand jury. was sum
moned by that tribunal and the final
result is the Indictment OF Pearce for
failure to obey the public accountant
law. Conviction can be followed by
both fine and Imprisonment.
Kenehan has officially indirectly
maintained and privately stated. time
ere not straight. Employees under
Benehan have privately made the
same charges. Kenehan maintains
that he has not been prosecuting the
secretary of state but that he has
simply been following the law.
In statement issued by Pearce
the matter is one of persecution but
he also says that during the summer
he and Mr.. Kenehan entered into an
agreement whereby should kenehan's
expert accountants find anything
wrong with the books and finances
in the Office of the secretary of state,
it would be reported to the governor
and attorney general for action. Nei-
tker Mr.. Pearce nor Mr.. Kenehan
have so far explained the reason for
such an agreement.
The indictment, which is the first
to issue under the new public account
ant law will be prosecuted vigorously
by the local district attorney and will
be defended Just as vigorously by the
attorneys for Mr.. Pearce. Not only
will Pearce maintain that he was jus
tilted in not allowing a public exami-
nation OF his books by Mr.. Kenehan's 8
men but he will also maintain that
he was justified In not allowing Mr..
kenehan to take the books out Of his
office to examine them after refusal
lad been made to their examination
in the office. In addition, he will at
tack the constitutionality of the law
creating the Office Of public account
ant. Mr.. Pearce says that by reason
of his stand for organized labor. the
corporate interests OF the state are
fighting him. He maintains that the
present indictment is naught else than
united effort on the part OF the large
corporations to dIscredit him and to
thereby teach him a lesson for having
as he claims. stood with organized
