the earning capacity Of the school fund so
invested is entirely unsupported, either by
reason or experience.
CONCLUSION is REPUGNANT.
"As to the statements made and reiter-
ated in these several articles that a prem-
UNI cannot be legally paid out of the perma-
nent school fund for this class OF securities,
| d:ere to say that this is, perhaps, a covert
intimatlon that when the test comes, If we
should ever be able to reach that point a
majority of the board will be of the opinion
that 1t is Illegal TO pay a premium out of
the permanent school fund. the logical con-
clusicn OF which would be that K Is likewise
Illegal 10 purchase at a discount, and that
we would be restricted to the purchase of
bonds at par or obtain them from brokers
or others who might be willing to detach
coupons, as has been done In the pact, in
payment Of such premiums.
This proposition has not only been ad-
yunced through the press, but at meetings
of the board objections TO the payment OF
premiums out of this fund have been made,
and SO far the board has erssiently refused
to make any offers to purchase 5Olls except
by the detachng of coupons here a pay
ment o. premium has been required.
This construction given TO the law Is en-
tirely unwarranted. X is contrary to the
opinion of the supreme court as found In
Is Neb., page 6S5, where it is held
that premiums may legitlmately be paid Oui
of the permanent school fund; that the trIIe
question to be determined is whether the in
vestment OF whatever sum may be agreed
| upon is proper one, and that quc stion is left
entirely to the judgment of the Board oI
Educational Lands and Funds; nor is there
anything In the constitution or the law pro.
hibiting the payment of premium wherever
1t may be required in order that this fund
may be proftably invested. There mas alsC

half ago that the governor was out
in long open letter to the public replying
to charges which had been made against him
by Churchill and Russell that he had tried
10 oDstruct the investment of the school
fund, in which he took positive ground that
1t was not only the right but
the duty OF the state board to
purchase all of the bonds of solvent
counties that might be offered on terms equal
to or better than the best that could
be secured on the open market. In pursuance
OF this policy Governor Holcomb presented
resolutions for the Investment OF the school
fund in United States bonds, which wero
then quoted in the neighborhood of us, and
insisted that there was no difficulty whatever
In paying the premiums required to secure
them, That part of the governors letter
which relates to this subject in the light of
the new turn taken by the state board pre-
sents some very interesting reading. 1t
was dated June, 1896, and is as follows:
Il have always been of the opnion that
the board should purchase all Nebraska
county bonds issued, until this entire fund
has been invested; that there was a mutu-
ality of interests between the counties ssu-
Ing the bonds and the state, as the interest
earned by these investments would all re-
turn to the different counties for the benefit
OF the common schools. | have always eX-
pressed the belief that the board should pur-
chase those bonds bearing as low rate OF
interest as they could be sold for in the
markets at par, or, in other words. that the
board should pay as much or a shade more
than other intending purchasers. This is the
position i have invariably assumed in the
investment of these funds and | believe Il
to be the cnly logical conclusion to reach
1t is the duty OF the board to purchase these
bonds yielding as fair rate of interest al
can be obtained for the benefit of the tenn
porary school fund. but | contend that sucl
Investments must be made solely with ref
erence to their fair market value and thai
the board should be ready so lcng as this
fund remains uninyested to duplicate any
bona fde offer that may be made. Good Ne
braska county bonds, as every well Informed
person knows. can be foated in the marke
at par when drawing from TO per cen
interest. and IL the board obtains any o
them 1t will have TO take them bearini
such rates OF interest. The statement tina
