STATE AUDITOR LAYS +,
. OVER ANOTHER BILL
High-priced Firm Asks $1,000 for Part
Payment ON n Public Utill-
ties Survey.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 21.-"Some of
our state departments seem to have
gained the impression that money
grows on trees in this state" said
State Auditor Kositzky as he pigeon
holed a bill from a high-priced firm
of Chicago engineers calling for part
payment on a public utilities survey.
The bill was for $4,000. 1t represent
ed just half of the contract price, and
the attorney general had asked that
1t be paid out of HIS huge legal ex@
pense fund. State Auditor Kositzky
fails to see where this item can be
listed as legal expense in the attor-
ney generals office.
eff any state department has q
right to contract for such a survey"
said the auditor, II should think 1t
would be the tax commission. TSS
state auditing board has had the mat
ter up once, and has held the bill over.
When 1t comes up again l think ]
will oppose it's payment"
There have accumulated in the state
auditors ONCE bills approved by the
state auditing board calling for $780,
900, and there are no funds with
which to pay them. The state auditor
has been very diligent in collecting
DELINQUENT taxes and in increasing the
states revenues wherever possible,
but at this moment the income is
about a third Of q million behind the.
outgo, and the state auditor has put a
foot down very fatty.

AN IMMIGRANTS VISION.
What America Stands for to the
DoWntrOdden.

Oh, if 1 could show you America as
we of the oppressed peoples see it! If
/ could bring home to you even the
smallest fraction of this sacrifice and
this upheaval, the dreaming and the
strife, the agony and the heartache,
the endless appointments, the
yearning and the despair-all of
which must be ours before we can
make a home for our battered spirits
in this land of yours, writes NJ. E..
Ravage, in Harper's. Perhaps, if we
be young, we dream of riches and ad-
venture, and if we be grown men we
may merely seek haven for our out
ragged human souls and safe retreat
for our hungry wives and children.
Yet, however aggrieved We may feel
toward our native home, we cannot
but regard our leaving it as violent
severing of the ties of our life, and
look beyond toward our new home as
sort Of gloriied exile. So, whether
we be young or old, something of
ourselves, we always leave behind in
our hapless, cherished birthplaces.
And the heaviest share of our burden
inevitably falls on the loved ones
that remain when we are gone. We
make no illusions for ourselves.
Though we may expect wealth, we
have no thought of returning. 1t is
farewell forever. We are not setting
out on a trip; we are emigratlng.
Yes, We are emigrating. and there is
our experience, our ordeal, in a nut
shell. 1t is the one-way passport for
us every time. For we have gllmpsed
a vision of America, and we start out
resolved that, whatever the cost, we
shall make her our own. In our
heavy-laden hearts we are already
Americans. In our own dumb way
we have grasped her message to us.

Roads Seek Increases.

WASHINGTON, March 90.-Ofticials
of virtually all railroads of the South
decided today. to join representatives
of the railroads in every other section
of the country in seeking a general
advance in freight rates.
How much will be asked for was
not definitely decided, but it was said
the advance would be from 10 to 10
per cent. A committee headed by
Lincoln Green, vice president of the
Southern railway, will name the per-
centage sought and will draft for
NAL petition for presentation to the
interstate, commerce commission
within the next few days.
Certain commodities, notably ore,
coal and coke, probably will be ex-
cepted from the general advance. On
these, it is understood, the roads will
ask for specific advances, course
followed by the Eastern lines. 1t
was intimated also tnat advances
would be sought on intrastate rates
as we'll as interstate and that petit
tions to the various State commits
sions involved will be prepared short
ly.
Today's action was forecast several
days ago by Fairfax Harrison, presi-
dent of the Southern railway, who
told the interstate commerce commits
sion that the earnings of his road had
been greatly curtailed recently be-
cause of additional operating costs
due to higher wages paid under the
Adamson law, advances already made
and contemplated to other classes OF
workers than those affected by the
law, and the higher prices OF fuel
supplies and equipment.
