While the attendance at the memorial
mass meeting which was held at the I.
o. o. f. opera house Wednesday even
ing was not as large as was to have
been expected owing to the nature Of
the occasion, the program as arranged
by Chairman John J. Pulse Of the coun.

vile Commercial club, was carried out
almost to the letter.
Following music by the Cowboy band
on the street the program at the hall
was taken up. Mr. Pulse stated the OBJ

an earnest appeal to the people to erect
a permanent testimonial to the 900

will never return.
Other speakers of the evening were

Increase
Heavy Collections.


The above table shows that the col.
lections by the state in 1919 were III
per cent greater than in 1917, while
the expenditures of 1919 were SO per
cent in excess of 1917.
The large expenditure of funds In i,
1919 is accounted for in the unusual
activity of the highway department
in the construction of good roads The
last legislature authorized an expen.
diture for roads Of approximately S..
100000 for the biennium and the work
has been vigorously conducted by the
highway department.
The abnormal increase in receipts
is partly accounted for by the fact that
treasury notes were sold by the state
treasurer in the sum of $2,350,OOO, the
proceeds of which were used in the
payment of claims against the general
fund and also against the highway
fund. The state has never been upon
a strict cash basis and it has always
been necessary to register warrants
when there We're no funds in the treas
ury to pay them, Registered warrants
draw interest at per cent until paid
but by the issuance of treasury notes
Mt lower rate of interest the state
has been enabled to pay warrants upon
| presentation and due to the fact that
we have been successful in disposing
of the treasury notes at rates of In.
terest not to exceed 3-4 per cent, the
wisdom of the legislature in providing
for the sale of treasury notes is ap.
parent. 1t will save annually thous.
ands of dollars which the state would
have paid upon warrants registered
and not paid for lack of funds.

State Auditor Gallet in Special
Article, Gives Interesting
Data to Taxpayers.
BY Il. q. Gallet

State Auditor and Secretary Equaliza-
ton Board.
As secretary of the state board Of
equalization the auditor is charged
with the keeping of all the records and
files pertaining to the equalization
board. Proceedings of the board are
kept In this office and are published
annually for the information Of the
taxpayers and the public generally.
Proceedings Of the 1919 session Of
the board have not yet been published
being held In allegiance until the total
amount Of property upon the personal
property rolls Of the several counties
can be obtained, which will not be un-
til some time this month.
Comparison Made.
The total assessed valuation Of the
state for 1918 was $468,OO0,OOO. The
total assessed valuation for 1919 Ia es-
timated at about $495, 100000, an in.
crease of approximately $27 100000
over the year before.
The personal property abstract for
1918 shows a valuation OF $37,O00,00O
and 1t Is estimated the property to be
reported upon the abstracts for this
year will probably be $40,000,OOO.
The real property roll in 1918 was
$431, 100000, and last year, as shown
by the real property rolls from the va
rious counties and the valuations as
fixed by the board OF equalization Is
about $455, 100000.
AS an evidence of the growth of the
state and the increasing volume of
business transacted, the following
statement of receipts and disburse-
ments for the year 1919 as compared
with 1917-which was the first year
Of the last biennium-will be of In

..sATURNALIA OF CORRUPTION"

Senator BoraH is making life mis-

Republican presidential nomination.

ner of its distribution. He is espe-
cially severe on General Wood and
Governor Lowden. but is disposed to
give his radical friend, Senator
Johnson an immunity bath.
Borah is fully conversant with. the
source of revenue for Republican cam
didates and appears fully in his rights
when he charges that the money in
terests, meaning the tariff barons.
are backing both Wood and Lowden.
To have these facts SO early in the
campaign exposed by this high apos-
tie of Republicanism is no doubt en-
barrassing and disconcerting to the
candidates and their tariff baron
friends, who can always be depended
upon to give fully and freely to the
good cause that promises them such
a bountiful harvest. If it were a Dem
ocrat making these charges it would
be easy to charge it up to Demo-
cratic conspiracy of Islander, but it
is not SO easy to dispose of. coming
from this high Republican source

fidence relative to the source of his
own campaign funds and the amounts
