PLEA MADE To ABOLISH
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Construction of Eight
Miles of Road at Cost
of $197, 500 Held Up to
Contempt in Report.
BY WARREN W. MOSES,

Helena, Feb. 17.-Some rather SEN
sational statements are made in the Sec
ond installment of the report of the joint
senate and house committee appointed to
investigate state offices and departments
which was presented before both bodies
OF the assembly today. The committee. in
this, paid its respects to the highway
commission, the state treasurer, the
secretary of state. the department of
labor and industry and to the probation
officers
The highway commission came in for
bitter condemnation for the extrava-
gance of its methods and lack of results,
while the state treasurer and the secre-
tary of state were assailed for methods
of conducting the business of their of
fees.
Referring to the secretary of state,
the committee reports:
Your committee finds a very unsat-
isfactory condition in the office of the
secretary of state. This department Of
the state government has to do with
the largest part of the states business.
1t collects immense sums of money an
nualiy and it disburses tremendous
amount of the funds that flow into the
common treasury. Sufficient informa-
ton of an incontrovertible character has
been obtained to justify the statement
that this office is conducted in an un-
businesslike and unsatisfactory manner.
Paid Back Unused Funds.
Every large sums of money are
charged against this office and credited
to the account of postage. The total
amount of postage which it is claimed
was used in the office during the year
closing November so. 1919, was So
2277.9o. The records show that some of
the money drawn for the purpose Of
purchasing postage stamps has been
used by employees of that office to pay
for goods purchased from mercantile es-
for private purposes Mr..
Stewart stated TO your committee that.

DR.. Schiller then asked the assembly

Sked to raise. He explained that, last

hen this was refused, raised it by

THRU SYMPATHY
Seattle Plants to Open
Wednesday,; Defied by
Local Unions.

Sattle, Feb. 17-Announeement by
shipyard owners that the Seattle steel
shipbuilding yards will reopen Wednes-
day morning, after having been closed
since January u, last. by the strike of
25.00O members of the metal trades
council, today developed a situation de-
clared unique in the history of organized
labor.
The employers say the men will come
back on the same status as the day the
workers laid down their tools.
The conference committee Of the
unions affiliated with the council declared
the strikers will 'stand pat"
Shipyards, under their agreement with
the government, must employ union men.
They cannot operate open shops
Various international union officials
previously had ordered" their members
back to work. but virtually all remained
loyal to the Metal Trades council.
Now these men, according to these or
ders. may return to work and not lose
standing with the big labor leaders. but
their local unons so far have forbidden
this action.
The status Of the wooden shipyards is
unlefined. They were forced to suspend
operations as result of the metal trades
strike but are more or less in the posi-
ton of the innocent bystanier

bonds and notes issued totaled $4,000
100000 marks.
The minister condemned the waste
thruout the war and characterized the
war finances as a program of despera-
ton"
DR.. Schiller emphasized the impcra-
tive Iced Of economy. He said the gov
ernment would need 10000 OOO. 900
marks during the current year to cover
interest payments alone. He said the
government expected to raise 5000, ,OOO,-
900 marks from the sale of army stores.
No one was in a position to say
whether Germany would be able to ex-
tricate herself from the present finan-
cial situation. the finance minister said.
but it would depend in part on the kind
of peace the allied powers decided upon.
Germany must be patient and wait
Our expenditures have increased not
only because Of our needs. but because Of
bad financial measures during the war;"
the minister said. ''On the assumption
OF a short war, considerable sums were
wasted in enriching individuals improp-
crly. In addition, the war program of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg was de-
plorablc from an economic point of view
because of the manner in which he dis
sipated money"
There was no question, DIR. Schiller
said, of annulling the war loans or Of
seizing savings or cash in banks. but the
government would have to levy taxes in
keeping with the situation. 1
