That a presistent and consistent
campaign of knocking of the "Galla

Livingston, Gardiner, Cody, and at
every one of the big camps in Won

who, together with his wife, returned
to Bozeman Tuesday morning from a
tour of the park by way of the West

To Attract All Class***
ers on
According to a statement of official and authentic figures
published in this morning's Montana Record-Herald at Helena,
only in the case of expenditures on account of the state's agricul
tural system do the figures run higher under Governor Dixon than
under Governor Stewart.
As the amount of taxes to be levied for the university and its
various branches was voted by the people of Montana themselves,
thus the repeated criticism of the Helena Independent and other
members of the Interlocking Press falls upon the electorate of
Montana and not upon the executive they have elected.
The average cost of state government as affecting the general
fund in the biennium period under Governor Stewart and just
previous to the change in administrations was $2,908,902.56 a
year.
The average cost for the first biennium period in the admin
istration of Governor Dixon was $2,908,951.25 a year .
Under these figures, Governor Dixon is answerablq under the
charge of extravagance in the sum of $48.69 for each year^—in
the view,of his enemies, a most grievous charge.
In the statements presented the reader's attention was es
pecially directed to the salaries of district judges, county attorneys,
the cost of transporting prisoners and the interest on general
fund warrants. It will be noted these amounts increased $217.
530.49 in Governor Dixon's administration.
Can Governor Dixon be held responsible for the payment of
salaries of judges of the district courts, or the salaries of county
attorneys of the various counties? These salaries are fixed by law
and were so fixed and established before Governor Dixon became
