After sufficient time had elapsed for the committee to properly function and those officials who might have had the power to see that funds were furnished to them, failed to carry this investigation to a conclusion, it appeared to me that some body or bodies, such as the chambers of commerce throughout the state should back some movement to force a complete investigation of those departments of state government involved in rumors, and to the end that when the investigation is completed there would be no doubt left in the minds of the public that the matter had been cleared up. This most certainly is for the best interests of the people of Utah and every citizen who is interested in bringing back respect for our government should certainly - demand that a stop be put to the whitewashing of officials who are guilty of irregularities in office. During the past three years the people of this state witnessed one of the grandest exhibitions of whitewashing ever seen anywhere, when one of our state officials was indicted for a considerable shortage of his accounts, and to add insult to injury he was permitted to sit as acting governor of the state of Utah while under this indictment. Of course, we all remember the unusual manner in which his case was tried, and how he was finally found not guilty, even though bonding companies were forced to make up a portion of his shortnon-politi- cal w al -- senate-appoint- ed non-politic- al T E . rilOE, UTAH FINANCIAL REPORT PREPARED BY BANK First National Institution Of Price Lists Resources At $978,755.34 According to a report of condition at the end of the first half of the year, the First National bank of Price had resources of $978,755.34.

Personally think it I is about time that the people of Utah should de- mand a complete and thorough investigation and in my opinion a grand jury investigation should be demanded to the end that this whitewashing business become an unpopular pastime. Unless we demand honesty in our government we will wake up to find that what was a government has become raacket No. 1, and far more dangerous, than those rackets we have read so much about in the past.
