INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May -
With Eugene " Debs out of the run
ming for the socialist nomination for
president, chief interest In the ma
tional convention OF the party here
May II. centers in the selection of a
candidate from the dozen most prom
inent members of the organization.
Debs ran three times in succession
and does not want to run again, He
could have the honor II he wanted it.
and II may be thrust upon him, as
many socialists believe he is the
strongest man they could nominate.
Among the possibilities" the most
likely are Emil Seidel, former mayor
Of Milwaukee, and Rev. George r.

WANT DEFINITION OF.
POWER IN MONEY PROBE

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Confronted
with the problem of clash before the
courts over their authority 20 compel
testimony in their probe of the money
trust, members OF the house commit
tee today planned TO submit the mat.
ter TO the house for a more compre-
hensive definition OF their power.
The committee learned today that
New York banks hope TO stall the in-
quiry by federal injunction TO pre-
vent enforced disclosures OF their
business relations on the ground that
such evidence would reveal financial
secrets of their clients. In such a con.
tingency, the committee plans 10 re-
port the barrier thus raised against
their probe, and to ask for special
legislation TO permit overriding Of
such an artiflce.
Members today admitted that under
the present power given the commit
tee such an injunction could success
fully stave OF any probe.

There are number Of other recon-
mendations Incorporated in the report
among which is one that every cent Of
money received for the state from ev-
cry source should be turned over to
the state treasurer and then checked
out again by the auditor and that pay
ment should only be made on voucher
filed with the state auditor. Another
matter to which, attention is called, is
the charge for care Of the insane At
the present time the county from which
the patient is sent is supposed to pay
the charges and each county is charg.
ed with the amount but the collection
of that money has proved to be an.
other matter and at the present time
the counties Of the state owe that fund
nearly hundred thousand dollars. Tho
law providing for payment BY the
counties is badly In need Of dxiag o..
eording to the auditor and some means
should be devised by which the Diff
ferent counties could be forced to meet
this obligation. The report this year
is the most exhaustive ever made by
the department and as viii be seen
suggests some radical changes in the
conduct Of the various institutions Of
the state.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. Stats, Au-
ditor D. K. Brightb;ll in mis- bi-ennia,
report to the governor of the state
makes good many recomme ndations
regarding the laws making arpropria-
ton for use in the various institutions
and on the various boards of the state
and also calls attention to what he
calls seeming irregularities and un-
business like methods of handling state
funds that are at the present time in
use'
In the judgment Of the state auCitor
there is great deal Of money being
expended annually on appropriations
that are not in accordance with the
constitution. He calls attention to the
fact that there has never been "een-
eral appropriation bill' passed in the
state as provided by the constitution.
BE cites number Of laws which he be-
lieves are contrary to the constitution
and says the methods should be cor.
rected so that payments may be ade
only on itemized statements.
Abuse Of Emergency Clause.
The law clearly states that no act Of
oA'S AS6ASA"o'SS oeSCAAOAy oAd1A Ldhc c1'
feet until July after the close of tho
session unless in case of an emergency.
Mr.. Brightbill believes that the emer.
gency clause should be left off all bills
unless there is urgent need of its imme-
date enactment. Attention is called to
some faults with appropriation bills
and among the more glazing are noted
the following: It should state positive.
" what expenses are to be paid out Of
the appropriation. The amount of the
appropriation should be clearly stated
There should be no question about the
date on which the appropriation should
become available. There should be nc
question about the time the appropria
tion is to cover. In speaking of Gun
limited" appropriations the audito,
claims there are number which come
under this classification. He lists s
number of these appropriations ant
calls attention to the fact that thu
charges for operating various depart
ments is pretty well fixed and theil
needs known from experience.

printing fund according to the report
of the state auditor. Many items are
charged to it that ought never to be
has proven insufficient for the increas-
ed needs
Clerkhire for State Officials.
According to the findings Of the de-
partment there is not proper grading
Of clerks in the different departments
of the capitol, different pay being CIV
en- in different offices for the same
class of work and the auditor thinks
there should be legislative enactment
along this line. He also things there
should be increased forces in some de-
partments.
Special Taxes.
The matter of special taxes is taken
up at some length by the report, the
auditor claiming that such practice
should be stopped and expenses FORM
erly paid by such means be covered by
appropriation. He cites the special
taxes as follows: Wolf bounty fund,
glandered horses fund, bovine tubercu-
losis fund and mill tax educational in
stiutions.) It is claimed that the spe.
cial tax makes the accounting Of the
+, state cumbersome and the accounts are
never closed SO long as there are unpaid
taxes which must be carried on the
books of the state and county. In 1911
the legislature reduced the levy for the
wolf bounty fund to 40 Of mill and
this has proven insufficient and if the
fund must be raised by special levy
it should be raised to at least 1.2O Of q
mill. The levy for bovine tuberculosis
was placed at 1-20 Of q mill and has
proved sufficient to take care Of near.
ly every bill presented, but the levy ia
pay for glandered horse killed In the
state has been too small and there are
the present time number Of bills un.
paid for want Of funds and these bills
are mostly held by persons who are
not able to stand the loss. Mr.. Bright
bill thinks that an appropriation in this
case would relieve a lot of trouble and
hardship. Speaking Of the one mill ia,
for educational institutions the report
says that about $2s0,00O is distributed
annually to the several educational in
stitutions. The funds collected unde,
this levy are properly general expense,
of the state and Brightbill thinks they
should be covered by appropriations.

cation led him to the Des Laos river,

fact that it cost about $4,000 a wear
to maintain the commission and states
that in his opinion the auditor should
be instructed by the next legislature
to turn over to the board all matters
pertaining to taxation and all work con
nected with the equalization Of assess
ments.
Insurance of Public Buildings.
Another place where the auditor
claims to have found a waste of state
funds is in the insurance of public
buildings. During the last biennial
period the state has paid S37, 945.22 in
premiums on public buildings. A pro-
vision of the law states that not over
so per cent of the value of the build
ings and contents should be insured and
that he things is too high standard.
He says that the buildings of the pub.
lie institutions are in most cases well
separated and are usually well supplied
with fire fighting apparatus and a
Waterman is generally employed during
the night and that in many cases the
buildings are of so called "fireproof'
construction thus minimizing the dan.
ger of fire. He suggests that the in.
surance limit be cut down or the in.
stitution be made to bear the cost of
such insurance as they desire to carry.
Public Printing.
Mr.. Brightbill thinks that many of
the reports submitted to the governo,
and legislature are encountered with q
mass of useless detail and thinks il
would be well to revise the public
printing law and state specifically what
items and expenses may be charged to
this fund and what should be printed
in reports. he states that there is ap
propriated annually 100000 for public
printing and that this has not been in
creased recently but that from time tt
time the legislature has passed law.
allowing various departments to tax,
money from this fund for their print
ing and that commissions are appoint
ed or created and for the sake of max
ing their appropriation look smalle
: they allow their printing out of tn,
general fund. He thinks that each de
partment should stand its own printin,
bill and leave the general appropriation
for the purpose for which it was orig
; inally intended. The maintenance an
preparation for the capitol seems to b.
about in the same condition as tn,

Shot by unknown hunters, 8.
The hunting season which closed the
first was not so deadly as the season
Of 1911. The dead and injured num-
bered 90 and 81, respectively, as
against 100 and 81, respectively, for
1911. In 1910 the deadliest year Of
which there is record, 113 persons lost
their lives hunting game.
The list Of accidents in Michigan is
appalling, Is persons having been killed
and IS injured. Last year only 16 were
killed and injured. The heavy cas-
ualty list undoubtedly is due to the
great number of hunters that entered
the woods in that state. Nearly 5000
licenses were issued by the Michigan
game warden.
The deer hunters became such q

wo6dsmen in Ontonagan county that

capped being shot by excited hunters,
