The possession OF $40 belonging to

|STEEN REFUSES
TO OK. TRANSFER

Bismarck. y. d. Dec. 25.-John
steen. state treasurer. has refused
to honor a $500 warrant drawn on
the state treasury by Karl r. Kositz-
Ky. Mr.. Steen states that this war
rant is issued for the purpose of
transferring this amount from the
contingent fund 10 a special clerk
hire fund for the state auditors Of
| ice.
He declines TO make the transfer
because In his opinion no emergency
exists which justifles the acton %
| the emergency commission in au-
thorizing the transfer. He believes
the transfer would be contrary 10
the budget law. In commenting on
his action, Mr.. Steen issued the fol-
| lowing statement 10 the press:
The impression seems to be gem
eral that Mr.. Kositzky, the present
state auditor. is a regular watchdog
| OF the treasury Of the state. when it
comes TO scrutinizing expenditures
Of the peoples money. lie has among
other great economic principles dis
covered that money does not grow on
trees and that the money which
comes into the state treasury comes
from the toll OF the masses, etc
Now as TO his own expenditures
as state auditor he does not appeaf
TO have shown the same economy a.
he would lead the people 10 believe
that he uses when il comes TO scrlft-
inizing bills contracted by other de-
partments.
For instance. during the year 1915
Carl o. JOrgenson paid out for clerk
hire for the state auditors office the
sum Of 36.644.29. During the year or
1917. Karl r. Kositzity, the present
state auditor has expended for
clerk hire in connection with the
state auditors ONCE the sum of sI0,-
47s.9s.
True economy should begin at
home, but then IL was always easier
to prescribe economy for the other
fellow than for ones self

The highway commission vel
comes at an times helpful and con-
Structive criticisms and Is at this
time glad OF the opportunity OF pres
enting the facts with reference to
the matter, since a rigid inspection
of the work Of the state highway
commission for the first nine months.
viii show that the commission has.

However, we deplOre the occurrence

should be absorbed in the work that
there is vet to do.
In conclusion, I desire to state
that the commission does not know

friction between il and the county

does not believe that these charges
originated from that body, in any
way or manner.
