impatiently to Wednesday evening
An hour or two at Zen's fireside pro

bachelor life lacked, and as Transley
seemed unappreciative Of his domestic
privileges, remaining in town unless
his business brought him out to the
summer home, it seemed only just
arrangement that they should be
shared by one who valued them at
their worth.
| The Wednesday evening converse

ing that was gradually evolving be-
tween them. but 1t afforded no solu-
ton of the problem which confronted
them. Zen made no secret of the
error she had made In the selection
of her husband, but had no sugges-
tions to offer as to what should be
done about 1t. She seemed quite sat
isfed to enjoy Grants conversation
and company, and let 1t go at that
an impossible situation, as the young
man assured himself. She dismissed
him again at quite respectable hour
with some reference to Saturday eve
ming, which Grant interpreted as an
invitation to call again at that time.
When he entered Saturday night 1t
was evident that she had been expect

She seated herself beside hin

intoxication.
Grant looked into her eyes, now
close and responsive, and found within
their depths something which sent him
to his feet.

why should any other date or
dates be used or permitted, if not to
serve purposes of deception?
DIXON WANTS
FIVE DEFENDERS
~ our office should perpare a state
ment showing the financial condition
OF the state as of January 1, 1921;
the day Governor Dixon went into Of
nee, and statement showing his ex-
pendltures from that date, and the to-
tails will speak for themselves. This
procedure on your part as state aud
lt0r will supply acceptable data on
which intelligent conclusions may be
reached by those who think. for them
selves and will force Dixon to aban-
don his presen practice.
Dixon was elected to serve a term
OF four years. He will have four
years of receipts and four years of ex-
pendltureS. Who will say to the con-
trary and why should there be any
confusion?
IF, during any period of time. a
statement is made showing expendi-
lures, that statement should also show
the receipts for the same period. State
taxes are collected in December. Dix
on wants to apply five DEFENDERS in
four years.
TO illustrate and perhaps to be
more specific, upon his request, Dixon
was supplied by you with a statement
showing the amount of outstanding
warrants on November 80, 1920. a
month before he went into office. This
statement showed the amount was
S2,3l4,33O.14. Using this date and
TINS amount as bases, and for the pur-
pose of creating a fOur-year period I
now request of you that YOU prepare
a statement for me showing:
(a) The amount of warrants out
standing on November 80, 1920, name
ly $2,314,33O14.
"(b) The amount of outstanding
warrants as of September 1, 1924.
(c) That you use last year as
oasis for computation. and according
~, approximate the revenue that will
be received and the amount of war
rants that will be drawn between SEN
teSmber 80, 1924, and give the amounts
thereof. '''-i0 ''''' -
I'D That these Representatives
will show the net result of the states
operation for the four-year period
from November 80, 1920, to Nevem-
Der 80, 1924. - 'ii
This method will allow Dixon the
state taxes fer the year 1920. but not
for the year 1924 He is entitled to
one or the other. He is not entitled to
both. He may have his choice. He
cannot have the revenues for five
years to apply to his four years of
stewardship.
by making this statement. a pur-
pose will be served, in that YOU will
have met the latest idea of the gov
ernor and supplied the hiatus of his
argument
With this illustration as a guide I
trust that you will find yourself in
accord with my view in that the nub-
nc should be supplied with a state
ment covering Dixon's stewardship
and that it shall be dated from jan
1ary l, 1921, and brought down to |
1aUe. Awainting your pleasure. I'll
am, very truly yours.

CREATES FALSE
IMPRESSION.

i think it your duty to disregard
these who are engaged in using your
hgures' and juggling with them for the
purpose of confusing the mind and
creating false Impressions generally.
Il think that an understandable and
satisfactory statement can be prepared
by your office and properly verified
by you, under oath, and which would
be acceptable to all unbiased people.
1t is true that your books show
the amount of outstanding warrants
and, If requested, you can furnish a
statement showing such amount as of
any date Of any year. In this connec-
tlon 1t occurs to me that you should
gaurd against public deception bv re-
curing of the givenor and all others.
a detailed explanation covering the
proposed use of such statement before
supplying it.
The last statement requested of
you by Governor Dixon was sucb ae
would show the amount of OUTSTANDING
warrants on November 80. 1920. This
GATE was month before Dixon went
INTO Office. You should have known
that deception was contemplated. and
your response to such request should
have contained explanatory refer
tences, that a letter under your sigma
ture could not be used to substantiate
a false premise.
Dixon. as governor, went into Of
hce on january 1, 1921. On that date
the revenues Of this state, under Dix
on began. This is a plain simple fact
and no one can successfully refute it.

FarmerLabor Candidate Says
Dixon JuggIes Expense Figures

Helena, Sept. 2O-Charges that
Gov. Joseph NJ Dixon in his public
campaign speeches is purpOsely using
misleading figures with the idea of de-
ceiving the people as to the condition
of the states finances when he be-
came governor, are made in a letter
! just received by State Auditor George
P. Porter from Frank j. Edwards,
farmer-labor candidate for governor,
in which Mr.. Edwards seeks to i'm
press upon the state auditor the need
Of extreme caution in furnishing the
/ governor with figures to be juggled
before the eyes of the taxpayers.
The principal object set up by Mr..
Edwards is that Governor Dixon is
now quoting figures showing the con-
ditiOn of the states general fund on
November 80, 1920, when it had been
drawn upon for virtually all the ex-
penses of the tax year and had not
yet received a penny of the annual
taxes which relieved it to a great eX-
tent during the ensuing month of
December, and prior to the time Gov
ernOr Dixon took office.
The letter to State Auditor Porter
follows
Dear Sir: On the 4th day of Sep
TENDER Governor Dixon requested
your office to prepare for him a state
ment showing the amount of out
standing warrants ON November 30,
1920.
Complying Herewith, you furnish
ed a statement showing the amount
to be $2,314,33O.14.
MIR. Dixon, for the present at least,
seems to be satisfied as to the accu-
racy of your figures on that date and
IS now using them as proof of econ
omy.
