"a. r.. BROWN"

One of the tasks before Accountant
Morris, E==Fiifo is trying to straighten out
things in the state treasury, is to find
out the identity of the mysterious "A
r. Brown who kindly returned some
thing over 81 400 to the state treasury
on missing Garden City coupons when
nobody knew it was missing except the
state accountant and two or three per-
sons connected with the treasury
More correctly speaking it will be up
to State Treasurer Kelly to disclose
''the mysterious Mr.. Brown to Ac-
countant Morris, inasmuch as the cor
respondence shows that Kelly person.
ally received this money and the last
record of it is when he cashed the
draft that was sent him for it from the
state fiscal agency.
If Kelly can produce some individual
who is willing to be known as the
mysterious Brown, it will then be up
to Brown" to explain how he knew the
accountants were looking for this
missing money, and how he came to
| have it in his possession; why he had
it for more than year after the state
| fiscal agency paid it to Kelly; why he
paid 1T back into the state treasury if
he had any legal claim to it, and if he
didn't have any legal claim to it, why
Kelly gave it to him.
Perhaps, too, the mysterious Mr..
Brown can throw some light on the
other three sets of coupons which
Kelly sent in to the fiscal agency at
the same time he sent in the Garden
City coupons, requesting that all the
money be sent to him when it was
paid in
And when ''Mr. Brown" has ex-
planned these other matters. possibly
he can be persuaded to tell in court
on what terms he persuaded T. T.
Kelly, the custodian of the state
funds and the man to whose possess
sion this Garden City money was
traced, to take this money that be-
lenged to the state school fund and
give it to him. Perhaps he can ex-
plain whether he or Kelly stole it.

THE srA1,E.s nEPnsIrs-


Hereafter the state will receive the
interest on the money which it has on
deposit in the banks of the state instead
of allowing somebody else to get an
illegal rake-off amounting to thousands
of dollars a year on it. More than that,
the state will be absolutely protected
by having in its possession securities
enough to amply cover all of its de-
posits.
1t will be interesting to see how much
this interest will amount to. The
treasury board has made provisions for
depositing a million dollars-that Is,
it has made awards to banks to that
amount. but the state has not that much
money to deposit at present. 1t had
something over a million dollars on
hand according to the recent examina-
ton, but that included $547, 900 which is
tied up in the First National bank fail
ure It is safe to assume, however,
that the state will have considerably
more than half a million on deposit the
year around. In June, which is at a
time of low ebb in the states finances,
Treasurer Kelly had over a million dol
lars illegally on deposit in the banks.
None of this money can draw less
than two per cent per annum. Some
of it will draw over three per cent. Yet
even at two per cent, a half million
dollars will bring the state $4,000 a
year in interest, or enough to pay the
salaries of the treasurer. the auditor,
the attorney general, and the secretary
of state.
Heretofore this money has been go
ing as a rake-off into somebody's
pocket.
