K0S|TzKY WANTS
AUD|T0R'S0FF|CE
INVESTIGATED
ABOLISHED BOARD.

Late this afternoon, Represent
ative A. n. Hagan introduced a
bill aboIishine the board Of re-
gents, the commissioner of educa-
ton and providing for a new
board, TO- be composed 4of" ting
governor, the superintendent of
public instruction and one eiector
from each congressional district.
State Auditor KostZky today re-
quested an investigation of the state
auditors office by the Legislature, de-
claring. that it is in deplorable con,
dition.
He said no record had been kept of
various important matters, that the
filing system was Inadequate and that
there were many irregularities too nu-
merous to mention.
On motion of Representative Wal
ton, the chair was authorized to ap-
point committee to make the inVes.
tigation.
Wants More Money.
He says that the Office must be re-
organized and that more money will
be necessary than is allowed by the
budget board.
Representative Petersen offered
as an amendment that every state Of
flee be investigated. He made the
assertion that all of these Offices are
short" and that they have spent in
12 yncntho n,Ouov which chOl11 ha vn
covered their expenses for "a months.
His motion later was withdrawn.
WrangIe on Mileage.
Ten minutes later Representative
Peterson made an emphatic protest
because his mileage bill had been slic-
ed in committee. He said that he put
in his mileage at the same rate as
he had been accustomed to receiving
and he thought that the league men,
bers were entitled to the same treat
ment as the old time legislators.
Wakes Sarcastic.
Representative Rice declared that
if he took the mileage handed in by
the men who were sent to the legis-
lature to represent the farmers and
took it back and showed it to the
farmers there would be lot of new
faces in the house next session.
"Another who came down to repre-
sent the farmers" he said. padded.

APPOINTMENTS
UNAUTHORIZED
d. BEFORE: JUN
Attorney General LANCER Sheds
, Further Light on Status of
Two Boards
EMERGENcY CLAUSE ON
BILLS WAS DEFECTIVE

In supplementary opinion handen
down this afternoon, Attorney General
William LANCER calls attention to an
other alleged discrepancy in connec.
ti0n with the appointment of the state
board of regents, and which he con
tends also holds true with respect TO
the board of control. These conler-
tions are regarded generally as more
to the point than he previous, longer
opinions, rendered.
Under the new opinion, it is neld
that the board of regents act did not
become effective until July I, 1875, be.
cause no legal emergency clause was
attached. Further, it is contended that
even if the emergency is legal, the
act did not receive the approval Of
the two-thirds majority required in
the house.
Thus, the attorney general alleges
both Governor Hanna's nomination Of
the present board, two days before
the governor approved the act Great
ing that board, and the senate's con.
firmation of that act, a day following
the approval, were illegal and inef.
fective acts.
No appointments, Attorney General
LANCER holds, could legally be made
until July /, 1915, when they must of
necessity have been interim appoint
ments, subject to confirmation and ap.
proval by the following general as
sembly.
In connection with the board of con-
troll, it is claimed the same condition
exists. The nominations were made
while the legislature was in session,
after it had passed the bill, but the
act extending the terms of the board
to six years, and under which Cover
nor Hanna made his appointments,
did not become effective until July I.
