whereas, there is no provision of law
requiring the Secretary of state to
make a report Of the Motor Vehicle
License fund. nevertheless he did
make such detailed report for the
years 1911 and 1912 and filed them
with the State Auditor. These re-
ports we're checked by the Examiners
office and the report for 1911 was adu-
tied by the state Auditing Board. Your
committee finds further that on or
about October 20, 1912, the secretary
of state did purchase 5000 plain white
two cent envelopes and that the same
were used by his sister, Mary Norton,
TO send out campaign literature; that
the reason for such use Of the said
envelopes, was that envelopes OF that
SIZE could not be obtained at
that time and that if this campaign
literature was to be of any
value to p. D. Norton it hal to be

toe finds that Miss Mar Norton did

In investigating the office Of the
secretary OF state your committee
finds: That Section IA Of Chapter 9
of the 1911 Session Laws provides
that the secretary Of state shall pay

county under the provisions Of the
said chapter, after deducting there
from the cost of tags ahd'registration.

by the state auditing board and was
discussed informally and it was decid-
ed that the necessary clerk hire

1t was impossible to follow strictly
the letter Of the law in the matter
of distributing the funs, as the ex-
penses for the whole year would have
to be calculated and a prorata deduct

sequence the distribution was not
made until

Penitentiary,

AS to the management of the Peni
Tertiary, your committee finds.
That the warden does sell cream
milk and vegetables in and about the
City of Bismarck; that the same are
sold at the market price, and SO far
as your committee a learn from the
evidence submitted, no one has been
injured thereby; that labor has been
performed by the convicts, but this
has been done at the solicitation of
parties employing them, and all mon
eys received from said sources have
been accounted for on the books of
the institution and covered into the
state treasury. AS to the cost of main
tenance of convicts per capita, we find
First, that the average number of con-
victs for the biennial period of 1907
and 1908 vas 231.1O and for 1911 and
1912 it was 201.91, showing an aver
age decrease Of II 10 per cent, while
the maintenance fund for 1907 and
1908, with amounts added to it by the
board from other funds totaled $780,
1872. OF. and the maintenance for 1911
and 1912 with amounts added from
other funds totaled $47,S84.37, show
ing an increase of 17h per cent in
maintenance fund, or a total increase
of 80 per cent per capita in mainten-
ance. 1907 and 1908 were good crop
years while in 1910 and 1911 crops
were almost a total failure, making it
necessary to purchase large amounts
of seed and feed at high prices. This
should make a difference in cost of
maintenance Of approximately $500
according to the evidence of the war.

Quoted from the funds. 1t wa impos.
sible to follow strictly the letter of
the law in the matter of distributing
the funds, as 1.-The expenses for the
whole year would have to be calculat-
ed and a pro rata deducted before any
distribution could be made. This was
a difficult matter to ascertain in the

ance for the whole time up to Janu-

opinion of the committee the law

that all funds collected from this Mo-

the state treasury, and apportioned
quarterly by the state auditor to the

Board of Control.

The resolution charges that certain
members Of the Board of Control have
violated their oath of office in that
they are not devoting all their time
to the duties of their coffee, but are
drawing salaries from other sources.
Your committee finds that Dr.. w. f..
Robertson is following ne other occu-
patton save the services of the state
on the board of. control; that Judge
Carmody has a law Office at Hillsboro
which is run by a partner; that he oc-
casionally argues a case in court; that
he has devoted all the time required
to attend to his duties as a member of
said board and that he has performed
his duty in a thoro and conscientious
manner; that F. w. Evans, who was
appointed to the board in September.
1912, has drawn a salary from the Sim
monds Hardware Co., up to February
1st, 1913, at which time his contract
with said hardware company expired,
and that up to January 1st, 1913, he
was occasionally on the road settling
up the old business and introducing
the man who took his place as sales
man for the aforesaid hardware com
panysr 8,
We find that it takes about fifteen
days out of each month for the mem
bers of the board to attend to their
duties. From the facts we have gath
cred we believe that 1T would be a
saving to the state if all state institu-
tons were placed under the manage
ment Of the board Of control and fur
Their, a. a business proposition, we be-
lieve that the expiration of the term
of office of each member should alter
nate so that there would be always
two members who thoroughly under
stand the duties of their office.

To be perfect germicide for internal

cause they contained poisonous drugs or

A certain amount of witchery and

1t was regarded as charm against.
