HOW 1T WORKS.

Senator Kelley Shows How Clipped cou'
pons Effect Treasury
Senator II. =. Kelly, the well known
Topeka bond broker, has puN'ished a
statement explaining the system OF
clipping coupons on bonds purchased
by the state school fund commissioners
and showing that certain apparent
shortages are in reality no shortages
at all. He says:
"The school fund coIurS yaloners are
for hidden by law to pay premium for
bonds. In order to get them at all IL
prosperous times the practice OF ett'ug
the seller clip the first interest coupon
was started.
"Tbe apparent shortage in the Office
of the state treasurer, due to this prac-
tice, is not a shortage chargeable 10
the treasurer, as he has nothing to do
with this, it being contract between
the holder of the bonds and the state
school fund commissioners. This prac-
tice attained much more during the
Stanley administration than during
previous administrations, or under the
present, owing to the fact that interest
rate during that time was little lower
than previously or since, and to tire
further fact, supplementing this, #
the quick and ready sale for almost
any Kansas bond in The Eastern mar
kets.
For instance, should We sell to the
school fund commissioners Sl10,00j
AZ per cent bonds running eleven
years, with the understanding that We
were allowed to detach the first SIX
months coupons from said bonds, the
state taking them at par. We nG''N
delivery of said bonds on July 10, tae
state treasurer registers on his books
the amount and issue paid for on said
date, bearing Az per cent interest.
The following January first the county
treasurer RENTS interest to the state
treasurer for six months on said bonds.
which sum would amount to $2,25c.
The state treasurer received said
money; it is entered on the books, but
does not enter on cash account until
the coupons are paid. The fifth day o.
January we send our coupons in for
payment. They are paid by the state
treasurer, cancelled and returned to
the county. Now two years later look
ing over the books of said state treas
urer, his record of these bonds shows
the bonds bearing ~ per cent inter
est; they having been purchased two
years previous, the total funds for in.
terest will show that he received $4,000
in interest, or $225O each six months;
his cash shows only s6,750; his books
show he received $4,000 and his cash
account only shows $6,750 Where is
The $2,250? 1t is the first six months
coupons that were detached by the
seller of said bonds under and by an
agreement between said dealer and the
school fund commissioners.
I'VE sold a few bonds to the board
under the Stanley administration from
which we detached the first interest
coupons by contract with the board,
and in those instances had we not been
permitted to reserve the first maturing
COUPONS. We should have sold the
bonds elsewhere, as we have always
had a more attractive market for tia
class of bonds We have handled than
we could find with the permanent
school fund commissioners"
