MISQUOTES CONSTITUTION. Although typical of the entire advertisement, the misquotation of the State Constitution by one of your experience is surprising and to 'be regretted. The bonding limitations is not one per cent of the assessed valuation, as you say, but one and one-half per cent. See Section 1, article XIV. WHAT BECAME OF PUBLIC MONIES? Before discussing further your inaccurate statements, tell the public the answer to these: Your State Land Board, or someone representing it, placed $25,000 in the Provo Commercial and Savings Bank in the spring of 1912 and there it remained until spring of 1917, just before the board of your administration was displaced. In 1913, $50,000 of the funds in the care of the Land Board were placed with the Farmers and Stockgrowers Bank, of which, I believe, you were an officer offi-cer or director. The last of this fund was turned over in March, 1917, to the new board. It would be interesting to know the arrangements attending the transfers, in so far as they affected interest inter-est rates and collections. ' . BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

Any critic, to obtain a respectful hearing before intelligent people, must have a known record of accomplishment. One of your favorite points of attack is the State Land Board, which also seems to be with you a sore spot. Let us see what your board, did, among other things: They bought $50,000 worth of Green River Irrigation district bonds, which represent a loss of $47,500 to the funds of the Land Board, except' .
