Bur- leigh county's quota of the national fund which is being raised for Armen- ian and Syrian relief will begin Fri- day morning under the direction of C. L, Young, county, chairman, and 0. W.

The al- lotment for this county is compara- tively small, and in view of the fact that everyone ‘has been made famil- far with the necessities of the near east, no great difficulty in raising the amount is anticipated. In order that there may be no mis- understanding as to the attitude of the Ked Cross toward this campaign, Judge N. C.. Young of: Fargo, state director of Red Cross work in North]. Dakota, has issued a public statement in whtich he ‘says: “The relation of the Red Cross to} the ‘Armenian and Syrian reliet com- mittee which is opening its campaign for funds is one of close cooperation.

Political movements long. before Mr. Townley was ever heard of, Some of the leaders in the old populist and alliance days are still on earth, and are too hard-hegded and experienced to give in their allegiance blindly to the Townleys, the Mills and the Lem- kes of the modern day crusade. They want to be shown, and above all they insist on elf determination and home rule. They are not ready to turn over everything to Townley and fall down and worship. The honte rulers, led by such men fas J. E. Kelley and Henry W. Smith, have seceded Yrom the Townley league and are organizing a separate league. They have a paper at-Sioux Falls and plan to extend their campaign work! all through the year. a member of congress, having been elected, in 1896 ” the _people’s partyy. Mr. Smith ran for congress as an independent in 1891 and was de- feated by less than 3,000 votes by John L. Jolley,the republican. candi- na recent communication. Mr. Kelley was Kelley says: “we can never win with Townley; and Lemke in South Dakota. Three hundred thousand dollars was expend-, ed.in this state in the last campaign and we elected less than one-fith of the members of the legislature. More money was used than was used by all the political partiés in this state the last 15 years, |and look at the paltry results. > \. “Townley swore in court’ that he did not own-the newspapers and Stores. Bupt he admitted to me that he did own the newspapers with two other men. One of the other men has since died, and information comes that his ownership in the newswpawpers is now deniéd to his wodow. “Who owns the stores? The farm. for them, - certainly not. | Townley set of straw directors, His private seoretary, a Mr. Her®ert O'Leary, is one of them. Others are a Mr. Elliott anda Mr. Keck, as I remember them. Why was.this done? Because of tue Townley ‘bankruptcy. proceedings, I presume. . Why should not the/farm- ers whose money paid for them be the incorporators and the owners of them? They would, if everything was on the square and above board. The} ocntracts signed ‘hy these farmers, who have innocently trusted Townley. and Lemke, ig one of the most adroit | and’ cunning instruments it has-ever een my. cRance- to look upon for the purpose of getting hold of another fellow’s property and keeping within the law. ; S ' 3 They cofiect $100 apiece from the farmers and start a st They can fire a subscriber at! any time by pay- ing his $10 for each year of the elaps- years, but he canitot withdraw of is own volition. “They can also use 10 per cent of the money collected for any purpose which they please. «| They can discontinue the store at any time, prorating the assetts among the | subscribers. Butsin that case what | becomes of the money, the profits and {the 10 per cent they are enabled to \use as they see fit? An answer to this should be forthcoming from seme where, and no answer can be made for these are the facts. But after all |-of these tricks‘ of getting the farmers’ |money into the’ pockets of Townley | and Lemke through their straw direc: tors, there is still one more trick, and jit is a-dandy. = | “At the end of 10 years all rights of every kind of the men who subscribed their money to start the stores. ex- pire, and all of the stocks, , profits land everything pertaining thereto be- lcome the property without question ! of the stores company.

After many years South Dakota seems in a fair way 4 clear up all court actions against former state treasurers for interest collected on state funds. Treasurers put t! in- terest money into/their own pockets, net only in South Dakota, ‘but in Wit consin and other «states. Wisconsin ‘went through much the same: expe- rience that South Dakota is now hav- ing. There was mo law against thi Practice in either state until recent years and no criminal action could be brought. The supreme court of the United States has upheld the judgment fot $32,000, which was collected as inter- est by C. B. Collins while he was treasurer of South Dakota for the four years 1903-06 inclusive. Interest due on this interest is figured at about $25,000, making $57,000 which Mr, Co!- lins is now ordered to:pay. If he fails to do so actiong will be brought against his bondsmen. Suits have ‘been brought against three other formér treasurers of the state. The statute of limitations kill- ed the action against Kirk G. Phillips. Former Treasurer C. H. Cassill was able to settle with the state for the principal alone, because he failed to sign his bond and it was ‘regarded doubtful if action for further recov- ery could be carried through to suc- cess. Suit against former Treasurer John Schamber has been awaiting the result of the Collins case and he can now prepare for the. worst. Mr. Collins — lived in Minneapolis several years after his term of office had expired. At present he is said to be living in California. His’ South Dakota home was at Groton, which has had a state office about one-third of the elapsed time since statehood. ‘Mr. Collins had four years as treas- urer, J. D. Reeves served four years as state auditor, and@ the first of the present year Jay Reeves, his’ son, became auditor by election in 1918.
