The following correspondence
published in the Globe Democrat,
tells its own story, and requires
neither elaboration nor embel-
lishments as introduction. 1t is
an exchange of letters between
two gentlemen living at Hatton,

The letter to Mr.. Gmelich,
signed by ]. F.. Harris and H. A.
Kinds, is as follows:
State Treasurer, Jefferson City,
No; Dear Sir-Will you answer
the following questions for our
information? Did the democrats
steal the state school fund? If
SO, how and when: Did the dem
ocrats ever bankrupt the state
or have the state in a bankrupt
condition? If so, when? If you
do not feel disposed to answer
these questions, viii you please.

formation on this subjects
To the foregoing letter Treas.
urer Gmelich made the following
reply, which certainly demon.
strates that the state has been
bankrupt under democratic rule,
and that an interest bearing fund
has been converted into a debt
that a fund on which the tax.
payers of the state were receiy-
ing interest is now a debt upon

should conclude TO change our
constitution.
Some money having accumu.
lated in the state seminary fund
on January !, 1906, the present
state officers purchased $4,000
worth of Kansas City school
bonds, on which the state is now
receiving interest.
In regard to your second
question, l would state that the
books in the department show
that for several years, from 1895
to 1899 especially, the state was
often hard up, to say the least.
and that money was borrowed
from one fund to pay warrants
drawn on another fund, and then
paid back when the taxes were
collected in during the winter
months.
For instance, on December 8,
1895, the books in this depart
ment show that Lon ". Stephens
the state treasurer, had only due
him from the six banks which
were then the repositories of the
state, S25, 939 26, and that his ac-
count with the Central National
Bank at Boonville was overdrawn
500, 5s5. 3s, or that the state was
then in debt more than it had
money to pay S74,646.12. Mr..
Stephens, in a published state
ment, claims that he borrowed
from the Central Ma.
tioual Bank at this time, and that
Gov. Stone went on the note with
The books are silent on
transaction, showing moth
ing but the overdraft.
Take another date. On De
,, 1895, the books show
that the state revenue fund was
oyerdrawn $40, 239.51, and that
the balance in the treasury in all
the funds on that date was S347,.
2Ol.69, or that the treasurer had
used the balance in all the other
funds to take up warrants drawn
on the state revenue fund, and
1853, 036.62 besides, which he had
paid by oyerdrawing his account
the Central National Bank.
These figures were taken from

the state of Missouri. These
we're cancelled and the above Ger.

In December, 1875, by direc-
ton of the state board Of educa.
ton, the United States per cent
bonds, amounting to S1,671, 600,
were sold for 81, 91s, 1858. Tier
was, at this time, between 49,.
900 and $40, 900 cash in the state
treasury belonging to said fund,
and this and the proceeds of the
sale of the Missouri state bonds
was invested in Missouri 6 per
cent bonds to the amount of
81. GAG, 600.
On January 1, 1881, there was
in the school fund 81, OO9, 900 in
Missouri 6 per cent bonds, as
other bonds had been purchased
as money game into the fund, and
the legislature, in 1881, passed
an act authorizing the board of
fund commissioners to consoli-
date the school fund. On July,
1881, the above bonds and the
$500, 900 certificate of indebted
ness were cancelled and a new
certificate of Indebtedness was
issued for 81, 9O9, 600, payable
thirty years after date, drawing
3 per cent annual interest. Since
that time, as funds have accumu
lated in the state school fune, the
money has been used to retire
bonds and certificates of indebt-
edness issued in their place.
