As I sald n my previous statement, I have reduced the expenses of my department many thousands of dollars, as I am in favor of the retrenchment of the expenses of the state and the handling of our affairs as we would try and handle our private business.

What's Cause of Rumpus? Is it not a fact, Mr. Hall, that your grouch dates from the day that four of the five members of the Board of Edu- cational Lands and Funds saw fit to re- duce the taxes of this state $400,000, which by action and by word displeased you very much. The four or five members may have made a mistake, but we were governed entirely by the returns of the assessors of the different countles and the estimates made by the legislature of the needs of the varlous departments; after all were provided for, we still had | & surplus of something like 332,000, May | it not have been a selfish reason, as it appeals to me that it was in the writing of the board. With a great amount of money in the treasury, you could have mofe bank accounts and a greuter po- litical machine. Or it may have been that you could have given more ald to e banks that you and your relatives re Interested In. You have stated to parties that you have mo state money deposited in your banks. This may be correct as far as a direct deposit is concerned, but since you have been state treasurer, banks in the vicinity of your Franklin bank have more than $19.000 deposited with you, some of which were not customers before you were elected and who now have state money. The Verdon bank. of which your brother is president and the Hall family own and contml, has $8 50 of state de- posits, Do you not think that your in- terests are being pretty well taken care of?

PRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE U.S.A® NO.A ; % & “ George Washington —*Father of His Coun RY AMERICAN knows that without “Immortal Washington our National Independence would have been impossible; Few, however, know that the greatest batde of Washington's life was fought to secure for his countrymen the Constitution of the United States. Almost immediately after the Revolution it seemed that all the great sacrifice of blood and treasure had been in vain. The original thirteen states refused to work in harmony, either in spirit or in law. The new Republic was tottering w its foundations, At this critical period in American history the most brilliant men of each state met in convention and elected Washil as President—undoubtedly the most momentous gathering of the kind the world has ever known. Here he displayed as great ability as law-maker as he had as a warrior. For months the Fathers of the Republic labored, and finally adopted our present National Law, which forever guarantees Religious, Commercial and Fersonal Liberty. This was in r787. Seventy years later Anheuser-Busch established thefr great institution upon the tenets of the Federal law which did s0 much to create. Like all of the great men of his time, he was a moderate user of good old barley brews. For three genenations AnheuserBusch have brewed honest malt and hop beers. Today 7500 people are daily employed to keep pace with the ever-increasing public demand. The great popularity of their famous brand —BUDWEISER~ due to quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, has made its sales exceed those of any other beer by millions of botdles.
