Nh. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House Of Representa-
tives Fourteenth Legislative Assembly:
We, your committee appointed by resolution Of this house
passed January 18th, 1915, to act with a like committee from
the senate to conduct an investigation Of all the departments
of state, beg leave to present the following report:
On January 10, 1915, the chairman of your house commit
tee, shortly before 10 o'clock in the morning, called upon
Senator Dwight, chairman of the senate committee, advised
him Of our appointment and readiness to meet and begin
the house committee on appropriations and suggested the
hour OF 10 o'clock in the morning of each day as a suitable
time for meeting. He received the suggestion and advised
the time and place of meeting of the committee. Later in
the day Senator Dwight discussed informally with the chair
man of your committee the a%dvisability of employing attor-
neys to make the investigation, and stated that the senate
members were prepared to name an attorney, and that the
house members, if they so desired, might also select one, the
two attorneys to make the investigation and report. This
proposition was declined.
On February 18th the house members were officially advised
that a meeting of the joint committee would be held on
February 5h at 10 o'clock a. m. in a senate committee room.
All of the house members attended, but none of the senate
members appeared except Senator Dwight. He then proposed
that the committee hire an accountant to make the investi-
cation and stated that the senate members had at their
DISPOSAL a man who could do he work and would do it at
a reasonable price. Upon being requested to name the ac-
countant he named Mr.. Percy L. Wilmer, city clerk of Helena,
when a majority Of this board were republicans. Your COM
mittee pointed out definitely that the resolution contemplated
an investigation by the joint committee, and not by hired
accountants. But he still insisted upon his proposition. We
then withdrew and delivered to him the following com
municatiOn: -

penses of the state government:
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1915-05-07

To whic ter in the day we re-
ceiyed the following communications:
Hon. E. c. Day. Hon. G. F. NORRIS
Hon. A. d. Macdonald.
Gentlemen: l beg to acknowledge
your communication of even date in
regard to the employment Of assist
ants for our joint Investigating COM
mittee. Have carefully noted your at
titude in regard to HI employment OF
any assistants other than ~stenograph-
ers and in reply will say that in u
desire to accomplish what we believe
to be good for the people Of our state.
we are willing to concede the point
to on and will proceed with the joint
investigation along h lines as out
lined by TIE house members of this
committee.
While we do not believe that 1t Will
be possible to make a thorough n
careful Investigation without assist
ants in the way of special examiners
and accounts t, sill we believe that
this matter is of sufficient public con-
Germ to warrant US in going ahead
even under the adverse conditions
which you impose.
We have therefore concluded to con-
tiuue this investigation and will meet
in room Z, in the capitol building on
Monday, February Z. 10 a. m.
Yours very truly,
REUBEN DWIGHT,
Chairman.
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1915-05-07

the right to cross examine witnesses,
and to call others in rebuttal. This
the senate members declined to accede
to. Whereupon the chairman Of the
house committee moved that in view
of the fact that no witnesses were
present, the committee adjourn to
meet at the call of the chairman,
Senator Dwight. No such meeting has
been called SO far as the members of
the house committee are informed, and
no joint session has been held, and
no investigation conducted pursuant
to the terms of the resolution under
which the members Of your committee
were appointed.
Some Remarkable Figures.
Under these circumstances, it would
ordinarily be appropriate for your
committee to ask to be discharged
without further comment. But. in vio-
lation of the usual parliamentary pro-
cedure the senate members of the
joint committee, on February IA, 1915,
presented to the senate a report which
is so grossly inaccurate, o with
reference to the proceedings Of the
joint commit Q and the facts set
forth as the result of the pretended
investigation, that your committee
feels that they would be showing an
utter lack of appreciation Of the hon
or conferred upon them by this house
in selecting them to represent it, and
would be approving by their silence,
in the PRONUNCIATION Of false repre-
sensations regarding the state admin
istration, did they not lay before this
mouse some further comment upon this
curious document. The report of the
senate committee divides itself into
three parts. First, reflections upon
the action of the members of your
committee, which to quote the senate
report, determined that there must
be merit in the necessity of a probe
of state officers and departments
second, a curious collection and COM
pilation of figures, which they say
(again we quote) disclose the extrav-
agance of the present administration,
and, third, the recommendations based
upon these figures. In addition te
stating that your committee "evlncec

Senator Dwight, Chairman Joint Investigating Committee.
Dear Sir: Replying to the suggested program by the
senate members Of the joint investigating committee on this
Both the house and the senate, by their votes, have declared
their desire to have a non-partisan investigation made OF the
several departments and officers of the executive department.
of the state government. To hire partisans to make for this
committee Investigations or examinations is in our opinion
YOU in Joint session, and to permit the committee to call
before it any person or persons requested by any member Of
the committee, and to permit such person or persons to be
executive department, or any of its bureaus, the examination
to be open to the public, and in the presence Of such members
of the committee as may desire to attend. We further offer
to sit at any time, and for such length of time as the senate
members may decide, and to unite with the senate members
in the employment Of a stenographer or stenographers to take
and report testimony of witnesses offered. Respectfully,
E. c. DAY. Chairman.

No Investigation Made.

Accordingly the members Of your
committee again repaired to the place
of meeting at the time fixed, and after
some considerable delay, Senator Ed
wards appeared and later Senator
Dwight. No explanation was offered
as to the absence of the other men,
Der of the senate committee. Sena-
tor Edwards announced that they
were ready, and asked whom the house
members desired to call. Your chair
man stated hat inasmuch as the COM
mittee had been appointed upon the
initiative of the senate, and upon its
representation as to the need OF the
investigation, the senate members
should assume the burden of calling
witnesses t. s~ubstantiate their
charges, the house members reserving

The Game and Fish Fund.

The game and fish department Is not
self-supporting, but in addition
it provides revenue which Is used In
the propagation of fish and game, es-
for the restocking Of streams
with fish fry. The expenses Of this
department are exclusively borne by
the men of Montana who enjoy hunt
ing and fishing. During the year 1913
a total of 373,597.8s was collected In
licenses, permits. fines m conf1sca-
tions. The receipts for 1914. which

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take Glass Of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers You
Drink More Water.

If you have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells us that meats form
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel 1T
from the blood. They become sluggish
and weaken, then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains In the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts Is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu.
tralize the acids in urine, so it no long
er frritates, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Solts is inexpensive; can not in
jure, and makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

Simple Solution
Dissolves Hair From
Face and Arms

Valeska Suratt, the famous beauty.
actress and authority on health and
beauty, says: Hair on the face, neck
and arms is the most annoying and un-
pleasant blemish women have to put
up with. 1t is useless to waste time
and money with the powders and
pastes which only burn the hairs at
the roots, leaving the skin sore and
rough.
If you are troubled with these I'M
slightly blemishes, get a one ounce
bottle of simple sulfo solution from
your druggist, apply with the tips of
the fingers to the hairy parts. keeping
them moist until the hairs are actual
ly dissolved. This simple solution de-
stroys the hairs entirely leaving the
skin soft. smooth and white. 1t is
claimed the hairs very rarely return af-
ter the first application, but never af-
ter the second
