certainty whether the government
would impose . supef-tax on wheat
exports this year was dispelled to-
day when President Irigoyen an

exporters that no tax would be
added. provided the grain trade
agreed on the fixing Of . minimum
price to the farmers. which would
be adjusted at the shortest possible
intervals In accordance with the
movement Of the market.

prevailing concerning the govern

compared with 100000 raised last
year.

to congress.
The princely remuneration that
goes with Representative Farr's six
days of service. approximating a
rate of $500 a day, results from

al allowances to cover the entire
two year period Of the congress, to

While McLane also has drawn pay
| for the entire two years, lacking the
six days remaining Of the pr tent

STATE CASH TO
BE DEPOSITED
IN MANY BANKS
Bids for Privilege To
Be Receiued Bv
May /.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 26.-Money
in the Illinois state treasury which
is now being handled by a few
banks will hereafter be handled by
banks throughout all Of 1lli-
nois so that its distribution may
aid the largest number of people.
according to announcement by
State Treasurer Edward E. Miller.
Mr.. Miller said this would be done
under a scheme of reorganization
to be put in operation this year.
Rearrangement of the handling
Of the states money is in accord
ance with a law passed in 1919
which went into effect the first of
February. Under it the treasurer
is not required to distribute the
money throughout the state. Mr..
Miller said he considered this meth
+, cd of most benefit to the public at
large.
Under this law all banks which
wish to handle state money must
bid for it, giving the rate Of in
terest they will pay and the
amount of collateral they can give
for holding the money. However,
Mr.. Miller stated, regardless Of the
amount of collateral or the offer
made by any large bank it will not
be allotted a share Of the fund
which would make it preferred
depository.
Il am working under a security
company bond" Mr.. Miller said,
"and therefore am under obliga-
ton to no one but the people of
the state. l am not forced to cater
to any individuals because they
have done me a favor. Therefore,
IL will work for the best interests
Of all the people and place this
money in banks where 1t will aid
all of them.
Should l give a large part Of
1.-THE treasury deposit to n single
bank because 1t made good oher
II would be directly benefting IT
financially and the district which
it serves at the expense Of some
other district whose bank is un-
able to carry as great responsible
ity."
Two Classes.
! Treasurer Miller stated that the
money in the state treasury is div
ided into two classes. Part Of II
is held as a working fund where II
can be withdrawn on immediate
need and the other part set aside as
a reserve fund to be used only in
an emergency. The ruling he has
made regarding the deposit OF the
money will affect both funds.
| Notices will be sent out in the
near future, he said, to all banks
setting May as the final day for
receipt of bids. As soon as sue
cessful banks are chosen and the
money apportioned it will be de,
posted.
The amount of money the state
will have to deposit cannot be de.
termined yet, Mr.. Miller said, but
must await the action of the legis-
} lature in making appropriations
. for the next two years.

seemed to him, 1.-THE same baby in a
new suit Of clothes" MIR. Fishwick
is acting president in the absence
of President Frank harrington, who
left Springfield early in the week
without leaving a record OF his
itinerary.
First indictments from Judge An
derson's court, following the min
ers' convention Of 1919, in Mr.. Fish
wick's opinion, we're found to be
without strength, So the judge has
been busy bolstering up the old
complaints with attempts to get
new evidence.
The vice president saw what he
believes a defect in this action OF
the grand jury in indicting the three
state officers, and not indicting the
state executive board.
II do only as l am instructed
Mr.. Fishwick said. Our bylaws pro-
vide that / shall act only as the
executive board commands"
Sneed Indicted.
Among the five members OF the
Illinois miners scale committee,
indicted along with the three state
officers, is State Senator William J.
Sneed of Herrin, who is chairman
Of the senate committee on mines
and mining.
Although unwilling to make a
formal statement answering the
charges from Indianapolis, 'Vice
President Fishwick said the charge
Of conspiracy to restrict production
comes with poor grace at this time
"Illinois miners have worked
steadily" he said. "and at my re-
quest many OF them have foregone
holidays, to devote more time to
digging coal"

dianapolis, in whose court the coal
indictments were returned yester-
day, would destroy the last vestige
of labor unionism," in the opinion
of President John H. Walker of the
Illinois Federation Of Labor, q for.
mer president of the Illinois Mine
Workers.
New indictments charging con.
spiracy against the miners, Mr.
Walker said, is the first step toward
dissolution of the United Mine
Workers union. There has Eeen nc
new Offense committed, Mr.. Walker
opined. The indictments are for al
legged conspiracy back in 1919.
President Walker expressed nj
fear on his party that the threat
ened dissolution he sees, will b,
effected, but declared he saw som,
reason for anxiety in the attitude o.

POLITICIANS
IN SOME DOUBT
ABOUT HOOVER
Ne.O Secretary To Be
Under Close Scru-
tiny.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

especial TO fne Argus.)
Washington, Feb. rs. - Herbert
Hoover's acceptance of the port
folio of secretary of commerce has
been on the whole we'll received in
the national capital though the men
in congress who have opposed him
from the start still maintain certain
misgivings concerning the selec-
tions. They do not doubt Mr..
Hooyer's ability but they question
the compatibility of his tempera-
meht in any institution like presi-
dental cabinet where the element
of politics plays SO important a
part.
There is on the other hand q
story being told at the capitol of a
conversation that took place at St
Augustine recently between Mr..
Harding and a certain United States
senator who went there to oppose
the appointment of MIR. Hoover. The
! president-elect defended Mr.. Hoov-
er warmly and answered the OBJ
jections concerning Mr.. Hoover's
inflexibility by showing his visitor
a copy Of a letter received from
the former food administrator. In
that communication Mr.. Hoover
said he had noted the criticisms
which were being made Of the pos.
| aihlo aolecfton Of Honrv r. Wallacs
for secretary Of agriculture and ht
hoped Mr.. Harding would no. b.
dissuaded from appointing Mr.. Wal
lace because Of that criticism. Mr
Hoover went on to say that durinl
the war he himself had been Sc
|yerely criticized by Mr.. Wallace
who as the editor of q farm journa
had a good many things to ga!
