$109 10000 was loaned on farm mort
cages. In 1910 the sum of $685.
226.45 was loaned on farm mortga-
ges.
During 1911 we collected from in
terest on investments, interest on
contracts, hay leasing. rentals, etc,
the total sum of $1,077,638.38. We
paid as appointments to the COM
mon schools of this state the sum of
$71Sl44.O3
TO the state institutions entitled
to aid we paid $250,611.57. The ap-
portionment to the common schools
Is paid quartedly, as you know, and
is based on the per capita Of school
children of school age, by a cencus
taken quarterly. 1t is the distribu-
ton of any funds to the interest 4
Income Fund of the common schools
on the first day of February, May.
, August, and November Of each year.
During 1911 there were sos regu-
| larily designated state deposita:ies.
The average monthly settlement
balance for the entire year was ST.
145, 74GOO The lowest cash settle
ment balance was On December I,
at S734,274.14; and the largest cash
settlement balance was on May l, at
$1,S77,336.59. During 1911 the state
auditor paid out through the state
treasury $4,O05, 677l2 by 1871
! check.
The interest earned on average
daily deposits with state depositarles
during 1911 amounted to $36,61O.45.
The interest in all cases was at the
rate OF per cent.
OF the four million dollars handled
of state funds in 1911, less than so
per cent was collected from the
! people as a tax. More than So per
cent of the collections were made up
of fees collected by the departments;
inspection Of oils; from interest on
| the investments of the school funds;
| from the operation of the Irvine
, Plant; from payments p land con-
| tracts and mortgages, and redemp-
| ton of bonds.
Section 1876 of the constitution
calls for the payment of public funds
| only on fullv itemized statements in
! writing. We have many accounts
at this time which the law prescribed
shall he paid monthly, quarterly, or
| semi-annually. that is, quarter, or
a half, of the yearly appropriation
shall be RENTED in a lump sum,
without voucher or accounting on its
receipt. The money to be deposited
with the local treasurer of the insti-
tuition and used as the managing
| board may decide. l have referance
now to the interest and income fund
of the institutions, which is RENTED
i monthly; and certain appropriation
funds. out of which payments as high
as $7,500.00 is made in lump sum.
When our board of control took
charge of six of our institutions, they
made the state treaurer, and in one
, instance local treasurer of an
institution in this state had on de-
post over $50 100000. That money
should have been in the custody of
the state treasurer, subject to the
order of the board of trustees of the
institution, but only as they might
file proper bills or vouchers. I hope
the coming legislature will do away
with the payment of any money in
lump sum. and require all accounts
and appropriations to be handled
strictly as provided in section 1856 of
the constitution.

COMMON SENSE IN THE CAM
PADGN.

While other candidates for Office
are setting forth glittering generali'
ties in their platforms and statements
issued prior to the primary election,
the statement issued to the voters of
the state by J.. B. Hanna, candidate
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor, deals with real issues of vital
Importance to the farmers and bust
ness men of the state.
Mr.. Hanna has had many years OF
experience in business in the state.
He is in sympathy with the farmers
of the state and knows what legisla-
ton is of most Importance. He has
definite ideas of what should be done
to advance the Interests of the state
the real business interests that means
increased production Of crops, build
ing of Bigger and richer state, the
enlargement of the horizon OF the
farmers, and the bringing about OF
better general conditions.
This is the kind of candidate L. B.
Hanna is. He does not make a cam
paign teeming with far-off platitudes.
He comes right down to practical
things and tells what Ae believes
should be done to make richer and
more prosperous state.
If there was ever a time in the hist
DRY Of North Dakota when such l. man
was needed for governor it is now.
We need in this state sourd, practical
legislation instead Of speeches that
mean little and achieve nothing.
We need careful consideration of
the matter of agriculture-the chief
source of wealth of the state. Mr..
Hanna sets forth plain facts as to his
standing In this matter.
We need more creameries and silos,
better roads, farmers institutee, prac-
rfca1 business management of the
state institutions, wise investment Of
state funds and upon all these QIes-
tions of the greatest Importance Mr..
Hanna declares himself with he sound
common sense Of a business man.
We do not know of any clearer.
better or more admirable documet is
sued in this campaign than Mr.. Han
mas plain statement to the voters Of
the state, and We CONNIE nd it to the
attention of every voter, and for tho
benefit of those who may not have
read it, We reproduce it herewith.

President Voegtle-

New Orleans States: The office OF
president pro tenn of the Senate Is
one largely of honor. 1t carries no
emoluments. 1t invests its incum-

presiding officers chair only when
the Lieutenant Governor is absent
from the Senate or graciously sur
renders the gaVel
Yet there is generally a sharp
rivalry for the office, for the presl-

opportunity to see his name at

come acting Lieutenant Governor

those offices during his period OF
service.
