MONEY SAVED TAXPAYERS.
State Auditor Porter Replies to
the Bismarck Tribune'S
Criticism.
Matters of General Political
Interest Discussed by
Muir and Wallace.

In response to the challenge Of the
Bismarck Tribune for the present state
administration to show where it las
saved the people dollar in state ex-
penses over the record of past admins
trations, State Auditor Porter continues
to furnish come telling facts and figures.
On the subject OF investing s247,0O0 Of
school funds by the last administration
Auditor Porter has already shown that a
bonus Of s72,069.91 was paid broker for
bonds that only netted the state per
cent interest, which "was more than
$4,000 more than any bonding house
would have paid for this same lot OF Sc
curities and therefore that much more
than they are worth" Continuing on
this subject Mr.. Porter cites the case of
how bonus of s3,66S.23 was paid for
$l1 900, per cent bonds of the city of
Dickinson. Also large bonuses for bonds
of Minot, Devils Lake and various school
districts, three illustrations of the latter
class of bond bonus being given as fol-
lows:
St. Johns school district, Bottineau
count, issued $4,000 of per cent bonds
Dec. 2lst, 1892, and the state purchased
them nine days after for s5,O94.40 from
Mr.. Fulton. Most OF the other bonds
we're bought in like manner.
Greendale school district No. 6, Griggs
county, on Oct. 1st, 1892, issued $4,000
of 10 to 20 year, 6 per cent bonds. These
were purchased by the board from the
First National bank, st. Paul, Nov. 18th,
1892, and SlS,360 paid for them. There
were few exceptions to this style of
bond buying, and I will quote one. The
/ board of education OF Lisbon were on to
their job, and forced the board to take
$4,000 OF the 6 per cent bonds without
the intervention of broker and received
bonus OF S4,377.6O themselves.
| If these officers were honestly doing
the best they could by the school fund
Of this state," adds 'he auditor, "what
have you to say IN defense OF their busi-
ness Judgment ordering the state treas.
urer durlng the last few days Of their
term of office to invest over 100000 at
this low rate and pay broker such an
enormous bonus too."
Auditor Porter's letter to the Tribune
editor, in which the above is stated, con-
| tinues:
| "Now, Mr.. Stevens, You are new man
in the management of the Tribune or
you would not have called so urgently
for the information I will nov give you.
Your Predecessor, Mr.. Jewell, would
have known better. That you may have
full opportunity to know whether I am
giving you straight facts I will take the
Tribune's own bills to show wherein the
auditor, at all events, has saved dollars
to the taxpayers.
