There is being advocated the initia- tion of an act relating to the man- ner of paying and auditing claims against the state of any utility, indus- try, enterprise or business project owned, controlled or operated by the state. This act has already been drafted, and it reads as follows: “Be it enacted by the people of the © of North Dakota: Section 1——No money shall be ‘paid out of the state treasury from {any fund whatsoever. or from the funds created for the purpose of con- ducting and maintaining any state- industry, enterprise oF vusiness project, except upon the warrant of the state auditor, and-not until proper claims have been. pres sented, audited, allowed and ordered paid by the state auditing ooard, com- posed of the governor, attorney gener- al, secretary of state state auditor and state treasurer, or a majority thereof. fy ‘Section 2.—All acts and parts of acts in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby ‘repealed’, The petitions, now ready for: cireu- lution, make L.

The people who furnish this money should {have a right to know how it is ex- ;pended; they should have _ positive i proof that it was expended as the law intended, for the establishment and operation of these state utilities and enterprises, and for no other purpo: As it now stands, neither the $17,000,000 which are originally. appropriated to finance these enter- prises, nor any earnings which may accrue from the operation of these enterprises need be accounted for through any of the regular channels. “These accounts should go before the state auditing board and should be approved in the usual manner, and warrants siould be drawn. showing just what the money is being spent for, and these warrants should be drawn only on order of the state aud- iting board, after it has satisfied it- self that the claim is correct and just. I think it not only unwise but posi- tively criminal to place at the dispos- al of any set of men, I care not how high-principled they may be a fund of $17,000,000 to be expended without an accounting to anyone. The people _ have a right to know that their mon- ey is being expended wiéely. In view of recent developments.in connection with privately promoted banks: and other utilitics, I feel that we have a | double reason to insist upon a proper jaccounting of every penny received and expended by these state enter- prises.” One-Man, Legislation. “T regard both the newspaper bills , and the board of administration bilk jas @ most vicious type of one-man ‘Jegislation,” declared Mr. Kositzky. “Neither, by any possible stretch of the imagination, can be considered |league. measures. No league member nor legislator ever thought of either scheme until it was presented in cau- cus here.
