sMITH CENTER BONDs.

The. people of Kansas will remember
that last year the State Journal found
it necessary to tell, as a matter of news.
about a little bond deal in which J. R.
Burrow, as chairman of the State School
Fund commission, aided in purchasing
from J. R. Burrow as president of the
Home Investment company, $4,000
worth of Smith Center bonds, allowing
the latter to clip off something over
&, 900 worth OF interest coupons.
The State Journal thought that the
deal was tainted with sharp practice,
and it looked as though Mr.. Burrow vio-
lated his trust as the keeper of the
sacred school fund in using it in a bond
deal whereby his Home Investment
company made profit Of over II per
cent on $4,000 for nine months.
The explanation made by Mr.. Burrow
and, we believe. by his fellow school
fund commissioners, was that the cou-
pons were clipped to bring the rate Of
interest to the state down to four per
cent. It seems that at the time the
bonds were issued. a few months before
Mr.. Burrow became secretary of state,
the city of Smith Center thought it
necessary to issue them as I'VE per cent
in order to sell them, and having so
issued them Mr.. Burrow bought them.
Less than nine months later, and only
a few days after ne became one of the
school fund commissioners, Mr.. Burrow
sold $4,000 of these bonds to the state
school fund commission at four per
cent, claiming to clip off enough cou-
/ pons to bring the interest down to that
figure OF course Mr.. Burrow took all
the coupons that came due first. so that
to this day the state school fund has
not derived one penny from those bonds
although it has owned them since Jan
uary %, 1903.
Mr.. Burrow and his fellow commits
sioners, Messrs. Dayhof and Coleman
explained this deal by saying that tbs
Smith Center bonds were as good as
any in the state and that the state haC
made a fine investment by securing
them to bear four per cent.
OF course this argument made it Iool
as though Mr.. Burrow had buneoed hi,
nome town nine months before when h,
had taken the bonds at five per cent bu
