LEGISLATIVE SALARY GRAB

Last week the lower house of the Minnesota
Legislature refused to change the personnel OF the
Board of Parole, one of the arguments used being
that it would cost the State approximately $4,000
per year more than the present Board are costing
the taxpayers. "A day two later when the bill
came up increasing the salaries of the members OF
the Legislature from $1,000 to $1,000 per session.
the measure carried by handsome majority. This
measure adds additional burden of 100000 per
session on the state.
Monday afternoon the salary-grab bill passed
the Senate by a $3.50 vote. To the credit of
Senator g. Lemm of this district he voted against
the increase.
The bill now goes to Governor Christensen for
his approval. If the Governor signs, the law will
become operative Jan. 1, 1929.
Every member of the State Senate elected
for four year term with full understanding that

of 1927-1929.
If the increased salary would induce men of
really legislative size to become candidates for Of

present membership by and large the Herald is of

INSISTS FORMER TREASURER WAS AT FAULT

The state auditor refuses to admit the charge
of lack of cooperation with the state treasurer IN
improving the states accounting system
Mike Desmond who has been chief deputy OF
the state auditor for many years, gave statement
to the press Tuesday in which he places the fault
with former state treasurer, Henry Rines, present
COMPTROLLER of the state Mr.. Desmond makes some
very interesting statements in his letter. excerpts OF
which follow:
Mr. Rnes, the present comptroller,
was state treasurer from June, 1917, until
July 1, 1925. During all of this time Walter
C. Martin was his assistant in one capacity
or another.
While serving as such assistant Mr..
Martin stole state funds by msappropriat-
ing payments made on claims due the state
for which draft has been issued by this de-
partment.
Mr.. Rines as state treasurer, should
have known that these claims We're due to
the state, that it was his duty to collect
them and that on his books they remained

with so that Herald readers may have both sides Of
the controversy:
1t is unquestionably the duty of the
auditor to keep proper check upon the
treasurer's collections and payments.
Whether this has been done in the proper
manner is for the committee to decide after
securing all the facts.

sponsiblity in connection with treasury
shortages but l am extremely anxious
to see that a proper bookkeeping system is

It's the constant advertiser who attracts at
