GREAT WEST
HOPEFUL OF
BETTER DAY
Big, Incredibly Rich
and Confident of
Future.

Editors Note-Edward G. Lowry,
distinguished investigator and re-
porter for the Philadelphia Public
Ledger has been touring the agricul-
turaI section west of the Mississippi
River in behalf of the Public Ledger
and the Daily Times, and writing
series of articles upon conditions
he finds them. This Is his final re-
port.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
BY EDWARD G. LOWRY.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 21.-Here at
Minneapolis this record of an IL 900 mile
journey of five full weeks through the
States West of the Mississippi River may
fittingly end However much one may
know about the size of this country, a
remaining impression is always its in
credible richness and fatness, and the
millions upon millions of acres, not only
of updeveloped, but of untouched re-
sources. AS yet we have no more than
scratched the surface where we have
touched it at all, and in one State after
another one may travel for miles and
miles where the whole country side is rs
virgin as when the continent was dis
covered. There need be no hurry about
developing all Of our arabic lands. We
have quite enough under cultivation now
10 Ltt"l every DOuN.
From time TO time the dwellers on these
rich lands suffer reverses and periods OF
depression. These occasional hard times
are nearly always due to jam Of some
sort in the mechanism Of finance and dis
tribution. Nothing IS wrong with the
country; there is no fundamentally IN
sound condition. This journey was un-
dertaken following one Of these periods
of depression TO note the measure Of re-
covery.
EAST KNOWS LITTLE
ABOUT PRODUCTION.
One has the vivid impression that We
in the East know too little about the
producing section OF this broad eXpanse
of ours We never fully realized or com
pretended, for example. how nearly thu

time last autumn it was touch and GO in
one of the richest States in the Missig-
siPpi Valley. whether some 500 Of i's
banks would have to close Had they
closed, the country would have felt the
shock II required some twenty odd mil
lion dollars promptly and skillfully
placed to save that situation.

had a real basis ana excuse for exis-
tence. 1t was called into being in an

TREASURER is
SHORT $4,000
Harry Stout, Montgomery
County, Pays Deficit and
Interest.
NEPHEW RAN OFFICE

A shortage Of S1O,3S7 II in the accounts
of Harry T. Stout, ex treasurer of Mont
gomery County, was made known today
in a report of the State board Of accounts.
The deficit has been made good together
with interest, it was announced.
Evidence obtained by the State board
was turned over to the prosecuting at
torney Of Montgomery County for action
by the grand jury to determine whether
any criminal action is TO be taken.
The records show that Stout's bond was
approved according t, the examiners re-
port, but 1t could not be found. During
the last two yeals Of Stouts term as
treasurer the office Is said TO have been
virtually run by a nephew, Karl V. Stout,
as deputy treasurer. This deputy. the
field examiners report, was quite an ac-
robat in manipulating and Juggling tg
ures and names" The report further says
that many irregularities existed and
that much Juggling Of figures was done
DIFFERENCE SHOWS
$4,000 MISSING.
When Stout turned the office over TO
his successor, Charles ~ King, the ac-
tual count Of cash and cash items showed
there was in the drawer S342G 95. but a
record of daily cash balances shows cash
in drawer at close Of business Dec. 81
1921. to have been S13.428 95. indicating
a difference of exactly $4,000. on a
final and complete examination the cN
act shortage was found 10 have been
S9.335 22. The law requires that the
county treasurer deposit cash daily and
the examiners charged stout 1902 80 for
interest on money that should have been
kept in repositories as required by law,
bringing the shortage to S10.3s1 IL
one Of the practices Of Kari Stout. &C
nording 10 the report, was the use of tic-
tit'ous names for bidding on delinquent
property, which be bought for himself.
The names Of John J. Brown and Tobin
& Co, appeared several times on the rec

OTHER DEALINGS
QUESTIONABLE

The records show, according to the field
examiners, that other transactions prior
to 1921 were also of questionable char
acter and resulted IN money being paid
ack to the county in interest charges.
Between the first Monday Ia November
and Dec. 81, 1920 taxes collected
amounted to Ss41G.44, but only $4,743.l2
of that amount was entered on the cash
look Of receipts of taxes collected May
?. 1921. Field examiners report for the
year 1919 shows that Stout, as treasurer,
had carried in the cash drawer from May
/. 1919. to June I, 1920, other securities
amounting to $4,000, on which he paid
$6s3.33 interest into the county treasury.
The average daily balance record from
July l. 1920, to Dec. 81, 1920, was more
than $4,000, and the examiners charged
Stout with $33959 interest on funds not
kept In depositorics
