SCHAFER TO RUN FOR

Geo. F. Schafer, LIST. assistant at

he would be a candidate for attorney
general on the I. V. A. ticket, provid-
ed the I. v. A. would endorse him.
Mr.. Schafer's statements is to the eff

of the Nestos Administration should
jeopardize the chances of reelection
of the Administration, by insisting
upon becoming candidates for office,
unless endorsed by the l. V. A. con-

During the four years Of its active

the defalcation Ct persons whose ,her-
essy it had Assn sd, according to the
statement Of s. A. Olsness State
Commissioners of Insurance, and Har-
old Hopton, manager Of the Bonding
Department. The total losses paid in
the years since the department COM
menced operations are $16,220.59, re-
covery has been made however of
ST., 054.88 making the total loss OF
only $5,165.71. In the report the earn
ings of the department since opening
are listed as $155 ole. 70, and total OPP
Grating cost at $1O,219.98. OF the
earnings $1O9,361, Az has been listed
as surplus and $3O,269.9s as unearaed
premium reserve. The earnings OF
the bond department are given as
s67,6S1 for the combined years Of
1918 and 10. The amount of bonds in
force at the end Of 1921. was an
nounced as $15,OS2.65.

and complete than any that has gone
before, are costing the state more
than n hundred thousand dollars.
According to the report of the N. D.
Industrial Commission, the audits
which have thus far been completed
by Bishop Brissman Company and
others, have cost more than SIG, 900.
The present audit is estimated to cost
at least $20,OO0.00 more, SO that when
h state Industries are finally audit
ed to che satisfaction of Messrs. Mes
tos, Johnson and Kitchen, the farmers
will have parted with something over
one hundred thousand dollars. While
these large sums of money are being
spent, Nestos' is making speeches tell
ing the farmers how he is "economiz-
ing" by. cutting the salary of a few
stenographers and clerks who were
~anderpaid before he went into office.
As against the tremendous expense
of Especial audits", the Board of Ad-
ministration, whom the governor asks
to remove for malfeasance and mis-
conduct in office, have conducted the
auditing work for their department
at a cost of $3,671.46 per year, in
GLIDING travelling expense. The audit
or hired by the board had to pass up
on expenditures of more than four
million dollars, and had to visit fire.
quently seventeen state institutions,
each with their own system of books.
No bills were paid without the O. K.
of the auditor upon them, yet this
great amount of work done for less
than four thousand dollars, while the
Industrial Commission must spend
more one hundred thousand dollars
to see that the Bank of N. D. is OPP
Grating properly.
An important feature of the State
Industries audit, is the fact that all
OF the money spent, was paid out to
outside audit companies, and went out
of the state. There were auditors to
be had in North Dakota, but the /.

company upon whom they could de-

MORE POISON AGAINST

3. Those who thought the activities
of the /. Y. A. would cease after the
Recall, and that the people of OUT
state might be allowed to retain the
good name to which they are entitled
may be disillusioned by the article
which appears elsewhere in this pa
per, relative to Sec. MacFadden's
speech in Milwaukee. MI. MacFadden
is secretary Of the N. D. Bankers
Association, and as such represents
the bankers of North Dakota. While
speaking before a convention, MI.
MacFadden takes occasion to point
out that League rule has ruined the
financial and banking structure OF
the state. Perhaps MIR. MacFadden
expects the farmers back home will
hear of his ~oratorical effort and will
imagine he is some how or other Of
fering q panacea for their economic
ills. I'M this he is mistaken, the farm
ers Of North Dakota have become ac-
customed-too well accustomed-to
the well turned paragraphs. of bank
er orators, who with technical phrases
attempt to disguise the old fashioned
fleeing to which the farmers are be-
ing put. Call it what you will Mr.
MacF adden the process going on in
North Dakota, is one by which the
farmer is being squeezed for what
little property he has left and the
