'EAGLESON SAVED MONEY
NO CREDIT TO GOVERNOR
STATE TREASURER GIVES FACTS
AND FiGuREs-cLAlMs OF
ALEXANDER UPSET.

Alleged false claims to savings
made to the taxpayers of Idaho by the
governor are exposed in a report by
State Treasurer Eagleson, covering
period of p months.
The governor in his speeches almost
daily says he has reduced the bonded
Indebtedness of the state by 1862 800
Treasurer Eagleson says the chief ex-
ecutive had nothing to do with the re-
duction and did not know what bonds
We're paid until after the payments
had been reported by the treasurer
When Eagleson took Office in 1915
he found the state paying 4 per cent
interest on $33O.OOO in bonds, and 6
per cent on $4,000. The state had
more than that amount OF money on
deposit. 1t was getting emily three
and one half per cent interest. Seeing
chance to make a saving, Eagleson
took up the $362.5O0 bonds with state
money, making saving in interest
Of $16,525.
The Bonds Redeemed.
Here is list of the bonds re-
deemed
University of Idaho ........ $40, 900
State improvement ........... Il 900
Soldiers home improvement :. $4,000
! IEtemountain road 80. 49,. $4,000
Academy of Idaho improvement $500
State penitentiary improvement $4,000
Albion normal Improvement -. 10000
State reformatory ....a........ 10000
Capitol building ........,e.... So. 600
Capitol building ............ $4,000
With the exception of the capitol
building bonds of $4,000, of the 1909
issue, which drew 6 per cent interest,
all of the others were issued in 1906
and were optional at the end of 10
years. They drew per cent.
Other bonds are being taken up by
the state treasurer from time to time
when there is money on hand. The
governor never knows when bonds
are redeemed, says the treasurer, until
after the transaction is closed
Eagleson denies the governor pro-
mulgated the policy now in vogue in
the treasurers office, and says he
rever at any time suggested that it
would be wise plan to use state
money to cancel state bonds and effect
a saving of from " to 21a per cent
IN interest.
Denies IL Was Governor
The treasurer's report also explodes
another of the governors campaign
arguments. The chief executive says
he has made saving of $2027O04 in
the expense of the upkeep of the state
capitol building. Eagleson declares
the governor has had notl ing to do
with cutting down the expense Of run
ming the statehouse and that in claim
ing credit for the saving he is attempt
ing to take credit that does not belong
to him.
The legislature of 1913 appropriat-
ed $4,000 for the capitol building and
grounds. The appropriation was over
drawn several thousand dollars. In
1915 the legislature appropriated an
other $4,000 Eagleson took office
January 4. 1915, The governor went
into office the same day The state
treasurer has for years been custodian
Of the capitol building, and 1t natural
ly fell to Eagleson's lot, he says. to
superintend the expenditures.
Eagleson's New Policy.
Eagleson adopted a policy of issu-
ing acquisitions to the head janitor

The real reason the bill fell under

reason, however, that the law was not
perfect.
No perfect law was ever enacted in

Some of the boys at first positively

Our regular meals are, for break
fast: Burnt grits, fat meat, lit
tie Florida cane syrup and some imi
tation coffee without milk or sugar
Then for dinner, it is boiled meat
burnt rice and coffee the same way
For supper each one is allowed 81
pieces of fried potatoes, and cup o
the same kind of coffee.
