The Tribune’s choice as receiver is John Steen, state treasurer. Elected to ‘that office three times, the people of the state have confidence in his ability and his is the logical office through which to operate a receivership. Those who are interested in bringing the fiscal policies of the state back upon a solid foundation will find that: one receiver will work better than three who might quarrel over policy.
