The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-01-07

Governor Mount in his message cited the
case Of some counties where the commits
sioners have purchased court libraries and
paid for them with county funds. This is
rot stealing. but it is a form of dishonesty
because it is an unauthorized and illegal
use of public money for private purposes.
County commissioners have no more right
to purchase law libraries for the judges and
lawyers than they have to buy them over
coats or gold watches.
But there are other forms of official dis
honesty worse than this The Journal has
received from a well-informed and reliable
source some surprising information in re-
gard to township affairs in one of the pop
ulous counties of Indiana. For example,
one trustee paid $15 each for water tanks
which could have been bought for S26
dozen. Another paid So a gallon for floor oil
which could have been bought for IS cents a
gallon, and the bill was approved by the
county commissioners. Il know of another
trustee says the Journals informant,
"who was approached some weeks ago by
supply agent who had encyclopedias for
sale. He priced them to the trustee at SIG
per set, whereupon the latter wanted TO
know how much there was in it for him.
He was told by the agent again that the
price was SIG. The trustee suggested with
an arch look that $40 would be about right,
and the books were sold at $50 per set"
In this case the trustees ''rake-off' was 81
not big steal, but no doubt he repeated it
in other transactions. Il myself says the
Journals informant, "have protested checks
issued by supply agents to township trus-
tees in this county. Just under what cir
cLmstances a supply agent might owe
township trustee is not clear" The writer
says that ''out of all the township
trustees in this county L am told
there are two who are absolutely in
corruptible. but as to this / do not
know" 1t is to be hoped this is an excep-
tionally bad county, for at that rate large
majority of the trustees in the State would
be dishonest. The Journal does not believe
this, but it does believe that many trustees
who go into office perfectly honest become,
first loose through the defects of bad
system and then dishonest through the
temptations of professional corruptionists.
Instead of system that tempts honest men
to become corrupt we should have one that
would compel even corrupt men to be
honest

There was a remarkable case of barter on
the floor of the House to-day. Mr.. Frank Ia
Harvey, d Washington bibliophlle, IN the
presence of Congressman Cochran and Ben
ton. of Missouri, handed Congressman
Champ Clark SIPS and in return received
from Mr. Clark much-worn little book
with a blue cover. The book was one of the
seven existing copies of the original edition
of Eugene Field s Model Primer, and was
the property of Mrs. Bob White, of Mexico,
Mo. When subscriptions were being raised
in Missouri for the Field monument }. West
Goodwin the well-known Missouri editor,
conceived the idea of reprinting the Field
Model Primer and selling facsimiles. In
writing an account of the manner in which
he proposed to raise a Field monument fund
he related how he had secured copy of the
first edition from Mrs White Mr.. Good
wins story fell into the hands of Mr.. Han
Vey of this city. and he at once opened
correspondence with Mrs. White. She did
not care TO part with her treasure, but when
Mr. Harvey told her he was willing to have
her name her own price she referred him
to Congressman Clark. An interview took
place during the holidays, at which Mr..
Harvey offered $l25. The book arrived yes
terday and this morning Mr. Harvey met
Mr. Clark on the floor of the House by APP
pointment Just before the opening of the
session. handed him the check for Sl25 and
