PUBLIC
FUNDS
ABUSED
The PendIetOn East 0regOnian
Discusses Interest on Public
Funds.

Banker Bush OF Salem has pc, formed
a public service by calling attention to
the fact that Oregon's state treasurers
are accustomed to loan the money of the
commonwealth aud take the interest
thereon as their personal perquisite. In
THE respect, Oregon is tagging behind
the more progressive states which have
adopted modern methods in the hand
ling OF the money that comes into their
treasures. 1t matters little what are
the particular facts in this case against
the defendants in the Bush case. They
are not sui generis, but are doing merely
what all the state tressurers in Oregon
have done from the beginning, as, in
deed, in all other states until the people
have taken hold OF the matter and com
PEELED changes.
The first thing that occnrs to the man
who attempts to analyze the situation in
this state is that our state treasurer is
paid stated salary of only $500 a year.
Yet he is required to give a bond in the
sum Of 81 100000 In securing sureties
on this immense bond, he must consult
his friends among the bankers. He must
have them and must to an extent do |
their bidding. There is always a dis
tribution Of the state money among Ger.
tain banks, and, go it is positively
known, sometimes II lie loaned TO per.
sonal and political friends who are in
business throughout the state. The
treasurer perhaps gets a portion OF the
interest that would accrue at regular
rates dividing with hia
friends the benefits of the perquisite.
The keeping of state or county funds
In banks is not alone unnecessary. 1t
is unwise. The state and the county
should have vaults sufficiently secure
TO warrant keeping the public funds
therein. By this method, the influence

Of others upon the treasurer would be
mimimiztd. He would then approx
innate the indeT endent offic r J Q should
BE-. 1t is within the truth to assert that
there are not half dozen county or
state treasurers in the country who use
bank vaults for deposits who are not un-
duly influenced to retain public money
in their possession longer than is neces-
sary, the while warrants are drawing in
terest and the people are paying it.
But, If the public money IL to be kept
in banks, there 10 no good reason why
interest should not be paid and that in
terest recovered into the treasury. It
is change Oregon must some day ac-
complish. The salary Of the state treas
urer must be larger, it is true, but the
state could afford a larger salary it it
received interest on the money that its
treasurers keep in certain banks.
