Resume of Events Around the
State House From Our
Special Correspondent.
At a land board meeting held on
Saturday a resolution was introduced
by Secretary of State Barker calling
on Land Commissioner George A. Day
to resign that office. When the resolu
tion was put to a vote. Attorney Gen
eral Peterson and State Auditor Hus
ton were in opposition, while Governor
Alexander joined Mr. Barker in sup
port of the resolution. The fifth mem
ber of the board, Miss McCoy, was
not present. Mr. Day, whom is is
sought to dispose of, has been an em
ployee of the state land department
ever since its reorganization under
Governor Gooding. At first he was
used as a land selector, and so far as
the southern portion of the state is
concerned, made most of the state
land selections there. With the in
auguration of Governor Brady, Mr.
Day was advanced to the land com
missoinership, which position he has
since held. During the past two years
there has been an insistent demand on
the part of leading Republicans, first
and most strenuously voiced by Sen
ator Borah, that Day should be re
moved. It is understood that Miss
McCoy and Barker have always
favored such action, agreeing that the
actual beneficial reorganization of the
land department could not be ac
complish without this being done. In
this they were opposed by Governor
Alexander and the remaining board
members, and no action was taken.
Recently the governor has approached
the other members of the board, and
the resolution on Saturday resulted
The state land board through the
registrar of the board has issued an
authoritative statement in regard to
what are termed the Huston farm
loans. The land board, or a majority
of the board at least, feel that
error was committed in making this
loan, and that although no danger
exists of loss of state funds through
the loan, in the interest of regularity
it is altogether best that the money
should be refunded and the loan can
celled. This has been agreed to by
State Auditor Huston, through whose
representations the loan was made,
it being arranged that the matter will
be finally settled by July 15. The
statement as issued by the land board
calls attention to the salient facts
connected with the matter. The loan
applications from L. A. Huston (the
state auditor's father), P. W. Williams
and J. S. Scott, asking for three loans
aggregating $14,000, were brought be
au
fore the board on February 24. There
were present at the meeting the
governor, secretary' of state and audi
tor. The state auditor had made ap
praisement, except in the case of the
Huston application, where both Day
and I. H. Nash had appraised the
land on information and belief. The
loans were allowed by unanimous vote.
Warrants were drawn on February 25,
and the acting registrar also pre
pared a letter addressed to the Farm
ers & Merchants bank of Idaho Falls,
with escrow instructions that the war
rants were not to be issued until the
bank had been notified that title had
been passed on favorably by the state
land board. These warrants were in
closed with the letter in a stamped
and sealed envelope, and the registrar
at the urgent request of State Audi
tor Huston had given the letter to him
for delivery. It later developed that
the three warrants in question had
been handed to the bank on February
26 by Mr. Huston for immediate pay
ment, and that no letter of instruc
tions was given the bank at all. The
warrants were paid by the state trea
surer on February- 28, this being a
weeks before the state had passed on
the title of the land. In its explana
tion the state land.board does not at
tempt to account for the opening of
the letter to the hank and the loss
of the inclosed letter of instructions,
although it is admitted that these oc
curences were during the time the
letter was in the hands of the state
auditor, who is a member of the board.
The explanation calls attention to the
fact that a fourth warrant for $5000
in favor of T. M. Williams on account
of a farm loan was inclosed in this
letter. This warrant was alluded to
> n the letter of instruction which was
not delivered. On the back of this
warrant, as well as the other three,
there had been written an assigment
to the Farmers & Merchants Bank of
Idaho Falls. The T. M. Wiliams war
rant was not presented to the state
treasurer for payment until March 22,
and the endorsement on the back had
been changed from the Farmers &
Merchants bank to Anderson Brothers
banks. The statement is made in al

commission since it was authorized in
1905 has never been called on to sit.
Nor does there seem much likelihood
of their having to do so in the near
future. However, if a strike should

The general issued most stringent or

property and was decidedly angry
when the widow reported that she
could furnish no milk because the sol

men have been stealing milk it will be
easy to find it out—my men don't lie."

The company moved forward as one

The general was astonished and
somewhat curious. "IIow Is It. ser

rest hare been stealing milk you re

"General." replied the soldier. "I
can't milk; I held the cow."
