ACCOUNTS BOARD.
ATTACKS FARM BODY
(By Associated Press,

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 5.-Radical
changes in the conduct of some Of
the affairs Of the state board of ag-
riculture are recommended in reports
made today by field examiners of the
state board of accounts.
Three direct results of the examina-
ton are that the accounts board In its
reports, orders A. w. Stoolman, con-
tractor for the woman's building on
the state fair grounds, to reduce to
$3.390.37 his $10,633.19 total of bills
fer extra work." and to pay off or
take of his bill $1.4s0.S0 because Of
alleged incomplete floor finishing;
orders the Monahan Construction COM
ptny to reduce by $1,000 its claim for
thing the roof Of tho manufacturers
building, and directs the agriculture
board itself to make good a $2,4SO
difference between the lowest bid 1t
rejected, and a next to highest bid 1t
accepted for plumbing work.
The reports also tell of alleged dis
regarding by contractors of plans and
specifications; of costly changes al
legged to have been authorized by only
verbal orders from board members;
of a number of questioned transaction
by some OF the members; of "unani-
NOUS" action by the executive com
mittee at times when Charles N. Lind
ley, president of the board; John Isen'
barger and Samuel J. Miller. were re-
corded as the only members present;
of alleged contract letting without ad
vertisements or competitive bids; OF

field examiners, made the principal
report and was supported by spe
cial report by John j. Twiname, ar
Indianapolis contractor, made at the
request Of Jesse E. Eichbach, CHIEF
examiner for the board of accounts.
The agriculture board is advised by
the examiners to adopt lucid rules and
regula tons to govern its transactions

tuted committee pass on claims and
that allowances be recorded.

1920 PROS
RESTS ON LABOR,
MONEY CONDITION

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Whether 1920
VIII be . good or bad year for business
in general depends largely on two fac
tors, labor and money. From the view
point Of men with highly trained minds
and large experience what should be
expected during the coming year from
labor and money. II labor continues in
its present frame Of mind and money
remains at its present high level, only
the shiftiest of merchants will be able
to show at the close Of 1920 balance
on the right side Of the ledger.
w. z. c. Harding Of the Federal re-
serve board at Washington, which con-
trolls the 10 Federal reserve banks,
that In turn act as reservoirs for the
national banks, upon which business
men are dependent, has decided views
on the two points raised. Dealing
with labor, he says: @
There are some indications that
the country has passed through the
most acute stage of ssSar troubles and
that the conservative and fair-minded
elements in both employers and Ia
boris organizations will assert them
selves, with the result that there will
be a better understanding between
capital and labor, with improved pros
poets Of square deal for the public"
In discussing the outlook for money.
he points out that there Is shortage
in the supply of commodities in rela.
ton to the demand, making the pro-
Queer careless of any increase in the
element of cost, whether arising out
of the cost Of labor, materials or
credit. He believes that the solution
must be dealt with by wise discrimi-
nation and strict limitation in lending
adding: Il assume that It will be the
policy OF the Federal reserve board to
make such rate changes or to take
such other steps as may be necessary
to bring about liquidation Of unpro-
ductive credit and to restrain unhealth-
full expansion"
