Bankruptcy Scare
Without Foundation

ing TO send out to the voters state.
ments by Auditor Karl Kositzky
charging the Frazier administration
with having bankrupt the State.
There is absolutely no foundation
for this attack. Kositzky has aband-
oned a financial custom observed BY
the state for over ten years in order
to juggle the funds in q manner to
leave the state general funds low.
The custom has been to place the.
money in the general funds as it
came in and to draw on it later for
the special funds as it was needed.
Kositzky has broken all precedents,
placed incoming money in the special
funds and shouted Bankruptcy. /"
ROBS GENERAL FUND
As q matter of TACT millions Of
dollars have been distributed among
the 66 special funds. Another fact
the state auditor has concealed is.
that the railroads and the Standard
Oil company have held up hum
dreds Of thousands due from them
in taxes by injunction proceedings.
The oil tax would have by this time
put 500. 600 into the general fund.
Taxes due from the railroads amount
to more than $500, GOO. A few
months ago there was due in 1917
1918 taxes Kositzky had failed to
collect $500, $50. IA
The lengths to which the state
auditor will 80 in subservience to
the opposition to put the present
sadminissxations.in s.in asshels Is slhewn; diy
BY two recent incidents. He report.
ed only s67 COO lin the general fund.
The books that day showed 4 ball
ance d S416, 900 in the general
fund. In another attack on the
general fund he drew 425, ,OOO: out
and deposited itswith the glanders
fund. The law says this e26. 600
must cover q two-year period. When
Kositzky was caught in this illegal
act, be put $1,000 back into the
general fund.
KOsITZKY UNREPENTANT.
State Treasurer Olson is doing all
that is possible to protect the gener-
al fund. Unless something can be
done to counteract this political
sabotage the state will be embarass-
ed in meeting it's current expenses.
But the situation is not serious.
The auditor can be- forced BY mand-
anus proceedings to cease his
sabotage, Of, i necessary, the Bank
Of North Dakota can finance the
state.
\ Kositzky makes no attempt to
Justify hilnsalf. vi hen asked to ex-
plain his actions, he said:
Well, the treasurer's Office is
getting technical and I am going to
show them that / can get technical,
too. I am going TO get even with
Olson. II they want to make trouble
I'll show them that / can make
trouble, too. =

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

! If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than the most expen-
sive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an album
dance Of rich. creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. II is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
ilv for months.--Adv.
