Banks Do Benefit.

The charge that the banks do bene-
IT from the use Of the state funds
Is true. But they benefit from the
use of public moneys Just as they
benefit from the use OF the moneys
OF private individuals. The banks.
as rule, never pay interest on in
dividual checking accounts. no mat
ter how large the amount. Now the
states accounts In the several banks
are necessarily Of a similar character.
for were they In the shape OF time
or savings deposits. they would still
be loans. and not subject to cali In
cases Of emergency. The charge
that q very few banks are favored
with the benefits acruing from the
use Of the state funds Is a mistake

Offer of Cutler.

In this connection desire now TO

l be doing justice To either myself
or the banks. II | failed 10 mention
the fact that the state has benefited
from it's funds during my sdminlstrn-
ton. In the first place. the bankers
are acting as sureties on my official
bond without cost TO the state. Now,
the law fixes the amount 0r the state
treasurcr's bond at $1,000 and could
II surety company be found that would
. be willing 10 accept this risk the
charges would approximate not less
than $4,000 for the four years. This
amount, then, represents not only a
concession from the banks having
state deposits, but also a straight cash
saving 10 the state.
Furthermore. there Is n provision by
law whereby. when the Appropriation
for building reservoirs IL exhausted
and warrants are dawn by the state
auditor after the said approprla ton
has been exhausted. then and u that
event the state treasurer shall reg
tstef said warrants. after which they
shall draw Interest az the rate OF .
per cent per annum uut'i paid. Now,
the reservoir iund account has been
overdrawn since 1902. the present
oNerdraft amounting 10 approximately
sl35. 600. II has been my policy 10
refuse 10 register these warrants.

them without interest until paid. BY
means OF this arrangement which
represents another substantial con-
cesslDn from the banks ca irving the

tcCt another cash say'n. for the state,
Of 8ppToNima tcly $1,000.

Showing Creditable.

Suppose you total these several
Items which have been saved TO the
state. You Will find that they ap-
proHimate $4,000. Now, this repre-
sents the approximate cash benefit
which the state has received from an
average cash balance of approximate
ly $1,000. 900 during the past four
years. BY computing interest with
these figures YOU will find that your
state treasurer has succeeded In re-
aliztng In the neighborhood of . per
cent on the public monies in his keep
Ing during his adninistra ton And
in this connection ] venture the as
sertion that no previous administra-
ton can show such results
I have. gone into details In these
matters, not with the idea Of defend
ing the present administration from
the charges OF misusing the public
funds, but rather to give the people
n better idea of just how the funds
are cared for. And before concluding
desire to refer again to the pro-
posed amendment. ] cannot too
strongly urge its adoption. And I
favor It's adoption, not only because
II VIII pave the way for proper legis-
lstion whereby the state will be able
10 realize permanent and substantial
benefit from Its funds but because

lation VIII follow providing the means
whereby interest will also be realized

Saving on Bonds.

Then again. a great saving was ef-
fected In the sale Of state bonds TO
the local banks. When the last legis-
lature was drafting the laws author
izing the state To issue $500. 900 In
bonds for the purpose Of securing the
necessary funds with which 10 erect a
central building at the state univer-
sity. and $3.50 900 In bonds for the
purpose OF state road building. Il was
found by investiga ting the eastern
bond market these bonds would have
TO bear interest at the rate OF not less
than ~ per cent TO be sold at par
AT this .juncture I personally inter-
ceded with the committee In charge
OF the bills 70 fix the rate OF interest
at per cent and then guaranteed to
sell the bonds at par. This was finally
done, and later on. when the bonds
were Issued. / sold every dollar OF
them to the very banks which held
the state deposits. BY this arrange
ment straight cash saving OF J per
cent on $685. 900 for twenty was ef-
fected In other words. In this one
transaction alone I succeeded in saw
ing the state just $780, 900 in round
figures Now. this saving represents
Sun further concession from these
same banks, for when you consider
that they average s per cent on their
loans but that in this instance they
have tied UP $3.50 900 OF their money
Tor twenty years at per cont. il
should be clearly evident that your
state treasurer has been driving a
fairly sharp bargain in the interests
OF the state.
