What Is Thought of 1t.
Holton Recorder (RepO;
The assessed value of property IN
Comanche county is about one-sixtn
that of Jackson county. An issue OF
1928. 900 of Comanche county bonds is
a bout equivalent to an issue of $6SO,OOO
bonds of this county. We believe TINS
county would be less likely to default
on $3.50 900 Indebtedness than would
Comanche on 1928 900. Now what would
be thought of a school fund commission
who would purchase $6SO,00O Al per cent
bonds of jackson county. There is not
a voter in the county but knows that
such an enormous issue of jackson
county bonds would not be worth any

A Heavy Cloud lowering.

Douglass Tribune (Rep.):
About ten days ago the Topeka
Journal came out with a story or a
bond deal, wherein the state school
fund commissioners, superintendent
Dayhoff, Secretary Burrow and At
torney General Coleman, were charged
with wronging the state school 1uno
to the extent of several thousand dol
lars, and loading it up with an in
vestment of $123,000 in Comanche
county bonds, which it classed as
doubtful securities.
The Journals story threw up a
heavy cloud bank across the political
horizon of the state officers and can
didates named.
There are two things regarding pub
lie officials that we believe every fair
minded man will admit to be true:
First, that when citizen accepts pub
lie office with its responsibilities, le-
gal emoluments and honors he should
give to the state, and do for the state
the very best he can in the way OF
honest service and watchfulness. Sec
ond. that in so doing he should be
protected by the state from malicious
SANDER and partizan misrepresenta-
ton.
In this case one of two things is
clear. Either the states interests have
state offices, and who are candidates
for reelection, or these gentlemen are
grossly wronged by the statements
made by the Topeka Journal. If the
Journals story is true the men named
are not the kind of men who should
be entrusted with office high or low.
If the story is not true the assassin
who would lie in ambush and fire
charges of shot into these men would
be much less dangerous to the good
of the community, than such an as
sassin of character and destroyer of

Are the Bonds Desirable at All.

Barber County Index (Pop.):
The state school fund commission.
consisting of Secretary of State Bur-
row. Attorney General Coleman and
superintendent Dayhoff, tackled a hot
box when they sued the Topeka State
Journal for SANDER. But for that
suit, their Comanche county bond deal
would only have been known in the
vicinity of Topeka; now it is a matter
of comment in nearly every Kansas
home. The more it is investigated
the worse it looks for the gentlemen
who engineered it. 1t appears that
the commission bought S123,000 of
bonds bearing 4 Z per cent, at face
that might as well have been bought
bearing 6 per cent, and that the law
yer who made the deal for them got
the snug little commission of $4,000.
1t is question whether the bonds
are desirable at any price. Comanche
county's Indebtedness is already equal
to her assessed valuation, if reason
ably calculated. Even if the commits
sion acted in good faith it is a mighty
poor piece of business. These men
are asking the voters to return them
to power to look after the interests
of the schools of Kansas. Do you
think you are justified in doing it,
Mr.. Voter.

What Were Motives.

Clay Center Dispatch (Pop.)
1t could be granted that the action
of the school fund commission in in
vesting $123.000 in Comanche county
bonds was absolutely honest upon the
part of the members of the sch DOL
fund commission and still there would
be nothing creditable about it Buy
ing bonds at Y that had already been
offered them at s, raising the assessed
valuation of COmanche county to
bring il within the requirements of the
law at the request of the broker who
made a big thing out of the deal, the
efforts to keep the whole transaction
secret and entire absence of explana-
ton or defense except that it was all
straight are things that can not be
made to look we'll in anylight in which
they might be placed. viii
somebody please tell why the State
Journal should have it in for the state
officers II is accusing of crooked prac-
tees? What other motive can the
paper have than the public good? The
Dispatch is not saying that the Jour
nails course is prompted entirely by
pure motives. but if not. why2 e.
One reason why the people were not
surprised when the State Journal
sprung that school fund investment
story is that they are in a frame of

Investing sacred Funds.
lsburg Dispatch CRep).

EnlllpsDurg D1Spatch (Rep.).
Several days ago, the state school
fund commissioners bought at par, $123-
900 Of Comanche county bonds, with
funds taken from the state school fund.
The state school funds are for this
very purpose. and it is the duty of the
school fund commissioners to keep the
accumulated money in this sacred fund
invested When this purchase was
made the State Journal charged that
1t was bad investment and that the
school fund commissioners had profited
by the investment. All of the gentle
men who compose the commission are
state officers and are candidates for
reelection this year. AS individuals
they could not afford to rest quietly
under the direct charge of the Journal
but as state officers they owe it TO
the people who placed the power they
have in their hands, to exonerate
themselves from this charge.
These officers threatened the Journal
that If it did not retract they would
sue for damages, but instead of re-
tracing. the Journal repeated the
charge, whereupon the commissioners,
J. r. BurrOw. J. L. Dayhon and c. c.
Coleman brought suit against Frank

schools; Coleman, attorney general. and
Burrow. secretary of state. They have
sued the Journal for $4,000 each as
damages Now when the Journal
proves its charges. as it claims it will,
concerning the shady dealing of this
snow white trio of state officers Gall
three of whom were renominated by
the Republicans while a good man like
Governor Bailey was turned DOWN
what will the people do? We hope the
Journal will press the fighting all
along the line and give the people a
chance to see if there are not some
rascals who should be turned out.
