STATE GENERAL FUND
BALANCE $35O,OOO
KOSITKY'S CHARGES GIVEN THE
LIE BY TREASURER OLSON.

Bismarck, May 7.-Reports spread
by State Auditor Kositzky and the
organ of the Independent Voters as
sociation to the effect that the state
was "worse than bankrupt" were of
ficially given the lie by State Treas
urer Obert Olson in his quarterly
report to the governor.
According to Treasurer Olson's re-
port, the state treasury now has on
deposit a total balance of $3,053, ,702.-
g.. This money is apportioned
among 66 different funds, of which
one, the general fund of the state
shows balance of $352,759.19.
At the time Kositzky and the I. V
A. papers spread the false report
about the states financial condition
the general fund had only a balance
of $4,000. Also against all 66 funds
there was standing $150,000 in un
paid bills. 1t was these facts thai
the alarmists fighting the admins
tration seized upon and spread broad
cast. The impression they attempt
ed to create lwas that the unpaiC
bills were to be charged against tbs
general fund alone. They chose no
to mention that in the IS other funds
there was available for instant us'
over s3,000,OOO.
Commenting on his report, Treas
urer Olson said today:
81 think the condition of the state
finances, as shown by my report, il
proof positive of the economy prac
ticed by the NOnpartisan league ad
ministration. Those who wouls
spread rumors to the contrary rul
up against one very formidable fac
that the state treasury is in bette
condition than it has been at an,
previous time in the history of tn
state"

have also been issued to Mr.. DoIln
and to other parties on claims thaI
have every ear mark Of beng Sc
cured by means OF coliosloh Vi

The allegations set forth in the
complaint are that: In charging 1of
the printing of the ballots Tor the
elections held last fall, at Whlch Jline
there were 1871 registered voters
and four political parties, DoLin' VINO
is the county printer, charged the
county 1882, whereas he was en-
titled to but $1,102.78, his contract
calling for 80 per cent Of the IaIe
allowed by statute. At the tIL3e
the bill was present it was duly auo-
tied and allowed, warrants beng Is
sued him for the amount OF 9bolz.
The warrant was registered by inc
county treasurer, there being no
funds, and that the county treasure
threatens to pay the same as Sooii
as funds are available. 1t further al
leges that should the full amount
of the warrant be paid that oherloaLe 7

FARMERS STORE
CHANGES MANAGERS
Fred Ibsen, Popular Plentywood
Businessman Now In Charge
Will Go After the Farmers Trade.

The Farmers Store, one of the
largest mercantile establishments in
Sheridan county, has changed man.
egements.
Fred Ibsen, the popular Plenty
wood merchant, who is one of the
members of the Plentywood Imple-
ment Company, which is very pop
ular business institution of the coun-
ty seat, has been made manager of
the big store by the Board of Di-
rectors of the Farmers Mercantile
Company. Mr.. Ibsen took over the
management the first of the month
and has been very busy since he went
on the job arranging the stock and
remodeling the store.
Carpenters have been at the store
this week, building counters and
making needed alterations, which
when finished will make the Farm
ers' Store one of the best arranged
stores in this section of the state.
The stock is being replenished and
a lot of the odds and ends are being
sorted out and marked in prepara-
ton for a big sale which will be ad-
vertised soon.
Mr. Ibsen is an experienced ner-
chant, and very highly respected BY

NOW UP TO JUDGE Conner FOR FINAL HEARING

Conner, which will probably be done
in the immediate future:
'It seems to me, however, that
where a, matter involving $200,OOO.O0
of county Indebtedness, to be extend
ed of a period of from twelve to
twenty years, is to be passed upon
the. discretion of the board, while un-
doubtedly great, should be based
upon full hearing and that at least
all parties interested should be given
an opportunity to be heard concern
ing so important a matter. | do not
hold that the commissioners inten-
tionally prevented other persons than
the Sheridan County State Bank
from offering bids upon serial bond
issue, though by the method which
they did pursue certain it is that
none of the other bidders, except the
Sheridan County State Bank and its
representatives, knew that the board
contemplated such action. I think it
is fair to presume, and that the tes-
timony supports the theory, that had
other bond buyers known of the con-
templated action of the board to is
sue oCIIdl Ooiuo, LACJ WOulu ile1NC
made bids therefor, and that by rea-
son of the commissioners failing to
give them notice that they would so
proceed to issue such serial bonds
such bidders had no opportunity to
make bids for serial bonds, to inform
the commissioners concerning the
values of such bonds, and that the
commissioners thereby did prevent
persons, who might possibly have
offered better bids, from bidding up
on serial bonds.
ga question of practice is involved
in this hearing. The plaintiff con-
tends that he is entitled to perman-
ent Injunction before trial of the
case upon the merits. This conten-
ton is combatted by the defendants.
It is my view that upon the state of
the record the Court can issue only
a temporary injunction restraining
the commissioners from proceeding
further until final determination
of the action.
"The questions involved in this
case are very intricate, but the re-
spective contentious of both parties
have been very ably presented by
both the attorneys for the plaintiff
and attorneys for the defendants.
If the attorneys for the plaintiff
will draw an order in accordance with
these views enjoining the defendants
from further proceeding with the is
suance of bonds until the final de-
termination of this action the same
: will be granted.

HOOKING WAS
HERE AGAIN
Nosing Around to See If He Can
Pick Up Amy More Easy Money
Loyalty Lacquer Finds Slim Pick
ing.

Joe Hooking paid Plentywood a
visit again the first of the week.
He was nosing around to see if he
could pick up little more easy
money from Sheridan county, but it
is reported that he does not find the
picking as pleasant or profitable now
as in the good old days when the
loyalty gang reigned supreme and
scattered the peoples money to the
"birds."
No one knows why it is necessary
for Mr.. Hooking to come to Plenty
wood to taie orders for paper ano
supplies when any of the article:
needed can be ordered through loca
merchants for Jess than he offers the
supplies for. The habit is so strong
with Mr.. Hooking that he can't quit
coming, it seems.
1t seems, however, that Mr.. Hook
ing still finds his Mondak trips pro
fitable.

Every farmer is urged to be pres
ent to hear President Anderson
speak on large cooperation and
what it will mean to the farmers. In
the past the Equity has been orga-
nized as local units, and it has been
demonstrated that the unit plan is
i not making a success and the local
unit Equity elevators and the local
farmers independent elevators are
now going into the Equity Line ele-
vators which are now feasible since
the big Equity terminal has been
completed at st. Paul.
The plan now being advocated is
for the local unit to sell to the Equity

handled under one management. Il
this plan is accomplished it will maks

make it possible for the Equity tc
offer cargo shipments for the foreign

to farmers in the eliminating Of

1t was originally planned to have
Mr.. Anderson in Sheridan county
for ten or twelve days, but owing tx

A decision has at last been Ten
dered in the now famous bond in
junction suit brought against the
county commissioners by ". l.. Nell
son, cashier of the State Bank of
Plentywood, in behalf Of the taxpay-
ers, praying for an injunction re-
straining that body from issuing
funding bonds in the sum of two
hundred dollars to take up two
hundred thousand dollars in out
standing warrant indebtedness, AMI
which suit has now become of coun-
tywide interest.
The case came before Judge Hurry
on an order to show cause and affi-
davits were filed and testimony TAX
en- and arguments were made and
very learned briefs filed.
Judge Hurry decided that there
were grounds shown why a tempor-
ary restraining order should be
granted until the court can hear the
evidence upon the merits of the case,
| which means that the whole PROPOSE
tion is passed to Judge Conner and
the issues stand in just the same po-
sition as they stood when the liti-
gants first went to bat.
Judge Hurry found that the coun-
ty commissioners had acted in good
faith in the following language: "It
| is the opinion of this court that the
commissioners in their actions pro-
ceeded in good faith and without any
intention to defraud, and proceeded
in a manner which they thought to
be for the best interest of Sheridan
county,"
In speaking of the statute under
which the bonds were issued the
Judge held: "This statute provides
that notice by advertisement OF
otherwise is not required to be giver
where bonds are exchanged for war
rants"
In speaking of the authority of the
commissioners to issue bonds the
Judge held: "It is my opinion thai
the class of bonds to be issued is one
resting entirely in the discretion o.
the board of county commissioners
the members of the board are the fis
cal agents of the county and are
charged with certain administrative
functions with which the courts ar
not concerned. The, law makes then
the Judges as to the classes and kind
and methods of issuing bonds and :
very wide discretion is entrusted t.
them"
In the following language Judg
Hurry finds for the Plaintiff and is
, sues temporary restraining orde

tried on it's merits before Judg

demands an open field for the trusts,
although in fact nearly all small
business lives in fear of being COB
bled up and hopes that something
can be done for protection.
During the war the government
brought together the big corpora
tions in different lines and dealt with
them together as units. In lines in
which there were already trusts, the
little fellows hanging on the edges
were brought closer to the big fell
lows. This was to aid their big Gus
torcar-Uncle Sam. But the wal
profit records show = that it also
helped them to fleece their big GUS
toner, and now they want to con-
tinue the very satisfactory condi-
tions of the war period.
The whole country has been trus-
titled beyond the imagination of US
ordinary citizens, and unless we
speedily get some bigger remedy
than antitrust laws, we shall be
cleaned out hook, line and sinker.

BIG PARADE OF RETURNED
SOLDIERS

Sheridan County will welcome her
soldier boys home on Memorial Day,
May 3Oth.
Sheridan county is going to do this
In big way-a way that will show
the boys who were called to fight
the big fight, that those who stayed
at home are not lacking in appreci-
alton of what the boys have done
of the sacrifices they have made in
order that autcorcay may be de-
stroyed from the face of the earth,
and that they are more than welcome
home again after the work is done,
even if it has seemed, because of cir
cumstance, that very little atten-
tion was being paid.
The soldiers have returned a few
day by day, and have been gradual
ly reabsorbed into the body of So
ciety with little or no ado, because
of the manner in which they have
returned.
However, Memorial Day, day set
aside to honor the soldiers living and
dead, a demonstration will be made
that will impress the returned SOL
diers with the fact that they have
not been forgotten, and that will
show that Sheridan is proud of her
sons, sympathized with their sacri-
| fees and hardships and glories in
their valor.
| The Sheridan County Red Cross,
as is fitting, has arranged for the
services and the celebration; for at
a meeting of the Directors of the
North Sheridan County Chapter
American Red Cross, it was unanim-
ously voted to have a big reunion
for our returned "Boys," on Me-
mortal Day, at Plentywood.
The Directors ask that every
Branch official in each Branch will
cooperate and try and get the word
to every returned soldier boy to
come to this reunion. Also to see
the business people who have autos
and get ways for the boys to be
brought free of charge to this big
day.
The program roughly outlined at
this time will be as follows:
Parade at II o'clock, composed of
all returned soldiers, in uniform.
At IL o'clock there will be big
picnic dinner at the Community
Hall. Everyone having a soldier
boy, or a soldier friend is asked to
bring a BIG, FULL basket, and par
ticipate in this lunch. There will be
room for everyone, only bring enough
/ for the extra bachelor" soldier boy
/ Tables will be set, and coffee will bf
served. here possible the Plenty
wood ladies ask that each branch
i designate some of their number tt
help them in serving the coffee, ant
generally looking after the dinner
as REAL crowd is looked for.
At o'clock there will be the Me
mortal Day Services at the Orphe
UNI, the talent being furnished from
the entire Chapter. At presen
writing the only number known de
fnitely is that Judge Conner O
Medicine Lake, also a returned sol
der, will give the main address.
Let everyone join with the Re-
Cross officials, and make this tn
biggest day ever known in Sheridal
County.
