THE Jefferson City correspondence
to the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
under date of July 20, conveyed the
following rather interesting news:
The special House Committee,
which investigated the purchase of
eighteen acres of land (for 1921, 000)
from W. M. Ruwart for additional
park site for Lincoln University, in a
report which will be read in the
House tomorrow, holds that the trans
action was fraudulent and that How
ard Cook, a Jefferson City banker,
reaped a profit of $4,000 on a deal
State Auditor George E. Hickman,
Republican, was declared to have been
"grossly" negligent for paying the
account before the appropriation had
been released by Gov. Hyde. ' =
the committee said that s'as to the
value of the Ruwart tract of eighteen
acres there was some difference of
opinion, but the preponderance of
the testimony is to the effect that,
taken as a whole, it is worth $500 per
acre, while Ruwart himself places it
at $1,000 an acre."
The most surprising feature in
connection with the transaction was
the readiness with which Auditor
Hackman audited the account and
authorized it's payment. For five
years he has posed as a "watch- dog
of the treasury" extremely technical
and exacting. 1t this case he seems
to have slept on watch. Under stress
of circumstance the Governor has or
dered suit to be instituted against
parties concerned in the deal and the
courts will determine the ms and outs
of the matter. "Let no guilty man
escape" If guilt there be.

local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced

greatly influenced by constitutional con-
ditions and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi-

The Supreme Court tells the G. o. p,
lea ders in Missouri that the lying
declaration, sfor the peace and well
fare of the State" attached to an en-
actment does not make it immune
from the referendum. 1t is one in
stance when a lie cannot be made to
serve the purpose of the God-and-
Morality crowd now in political con-
troll. This must seem singular to them
since falsehood is their principal stock

ded to the cost of the regular session,
aggregates the ample sum of $4l7 900

IT seems highly probable that the
promise of tax reduction made so
freely by Mr.. Harding and other Re-
publican spokesman in the last cam
paign will apply only to persons whose
incomes are in the millions or whose
profits are SO much in excess of nor
NAL as to be monopolistic. Other
probabilities are an automobile fat
tax of ten dollars, three cent letter
postage and heavily increased taxes
on tobacco. The one certainty of the
bill is that the average man will
pay more and the favored few will
pay less.
