STATE AUDITOR
BALKS

State Auditor F. l.. Huston, who
made a written agreement with the
land board a few weeks ago binding
himself to repay the state $14,0 900
and interest IN account of three
loans he had secured on lands he was
charged with having an interest in,
refused last Saturday to keep his
agreement. The time was up for
him to repay the money and when
he was called upon to make good
he simply replied that he did not
think they could compel him to keep
the agreement.
The board %thereupon ordered the
attorney general to proceed against
him as he thought best under the
circumstances.
Huston is a member of the land
board; so is the attorney general;
so is the governor. The board finds
itself sueing itself to try to get even
on a bad loan made by itself to one
of its members who asked for favors
and is now acting on the contrary.
