There seems to be considerable mis-
conception as to what is charged up
as shortages on clipped coupons in the
Morris report. Many people have the
idea that all coupons that were
clipped by brokers in lieu of a pre-
MUM are counted as shortages, but
this is not the case, by any means
1t is a well known and acknowI-
edged fact that brokers were allowed
to clip coupons. For instance, J. r.
Burrow clipped over $4,000 worth of
coupons off of $4,000 of Smith
Center bonds. That deal was made
three years ago. but the state Journal
believes it is correct in saying the
state has never TO this day received d
single penny of interest on those
bonds It has all gone to Mr. Bur-
row. But this is not counted as a
shortage. by any means. because the
state auditors records show that the
first five or six coupons were missing
from each of the bonds when they
We're registered, and those were there
fore not charged to the state treas
urer's account
When bonds are purchased by the
school fund commission the broker
cups the coupons allowed him at the
time. Then the bonds are taken to
the auditors Office with a certificate
showing the amount of the purchase
ana the aggregate of all the coupons
purchased also. This certificate is
MED away The auditor registers each
pond and also the number of coupons
attached to it. This certificate and the
auditors register is what is taken to
snow the coupons that ought to be
accounted for by the state treasurer.
1t IS evident that if anyone cIipDed
on coupons and gave them to brokers'
aIter the certificate of the school fund
commission was made out SHOWING. the
amount of coupons purchased bv the
commission, or clipped after the bonds
ana coupons We're registered by the
aualtor as the property of the school
tund' such clipping was Illegal and a
plain steal.
IL Is the State Journals understand
ING tnat what is charged as SHORTAGES
are IN instances where the records show
mat the coupons We're on the bonds after
becoming the property of the state but
ed for ~ ''''-
F. E. Grimes has secured statements
from a number of brokers stating tbev
sometimes received clipped coupons.
This is. of course. conceded. The oues-
tion IS. were these coupons clipped be
fore or after the bonds became the
property of the state? If the records
show that they were clipped after. the
state authorities should lose no time in
making such brokers disgorge
But it is known that d good MANY of
these missing coupons did not go to the
brokers. The State Journal has a letter
from one firm of brokers stating that
they sold number of issues of bonds
to the school fund commission and in
two instances were allowed to clip the
first coupons. but others they did not
clip Yet these others have not been
accounted for
Somebody got the money in all these
instances. Where the brokers acknowl-
edge getting coupons that belonged to
the state they SHOULD be made to pay
up Otherwise Governor Hoch should
look to the state treasury. especially as
much of the money has been traced to
the treasury.
