Investment of Funds.


A member of the commission re-
Gently conceived the idea that the
money is piling up too rapidly in the
various depository banks of the state
at per cent, the low rate of inter
est which is allowed for such deposits,
and asked the attorney general for an
opinion as to whether the funds may
not be invested in state warrants,
public building bonds and like securi-
ties. The opinion of the attorney gen.
eral was that the funds may not be
invested in state warrants, but may
be invested in public building bonds,
as the constitution enumerates state
bonds as an approved investment for
these funds. There are about 81
100000 of public building bonds out
standing. They draw per cent
interest. They were issued against
the public building lands of the state
and are not state bonds, being Sc
cured only by the lands upon which
they are based.
1t is the intention of Governor vii
liams to oppose investment of any
of the school money in such bonds
on the ground that ii is not justified
by the constitution prescribing invest
ments that may be made of such
funds 1t is not improbable that the
opinion of the attorney general will
be modified in regard TO those bonds
being suitable investment under
the constitution. 1t will be noted
that the state has already invested
s2S9, 500 in these securities during
a former administration. This in
vestment is doubtless safe, but it is
not such. in the opinion of Governor
Williams as is prescribed by the con-
stitution.
1t is pointed out that the bulk OK
public building bonds outstanding are
held by banks as investment for their
capital stock on the theory that such
bonds are not taxable. The question
of their taxability is now before the
supreme court OF the state, and If

Governor Williams Plan.


The plan of Governor Williams to
interest the farmers in the agency of
the state through the school funds
in aiding them by making cheap loans
will be pushed by him at the grass
roots. He is confident of the co-opera-
ton Of the county farm demonstra-
ton agents and of the magnificent
farm propaganda organization that
has its nucleus at the state agrIcul-
tural and mechanical college. He will
devote much of his address to the
class on the occasion of the coming
commencement day exercises at Still
water to this agency of the state
through its permanent school fund in
developing the farms by loaning the
public funds at low interest rates.
The fact that the money Of the
school land office is accommodating
much more rapidly than is being loan
ed on farm security, does not, in the
opinion of Governor Williams, justify
an effort to make investments of 9th
er character. 1t simply indicates that
the efforts to secure the interest OF
farmers in this source of money must
be made to suit the situation. The
farmers must be- informed. To inter
est them it is necessary to enlist
activities of men not adversely in
clined. A local abstracter and farm
loan man can not be expected to as
sist the state in placing . per cent
money on farm loans when he is loan
ing at s to 10 per cent.
1t has been noticed in the past that
bankers and other city men VINO
own farms have been getting much OF
the money the state is placing. They
get il for one-half the interest charge
that their neighbors, the farmers,
have to pay to other parties. They
can make money by borrowing II
from the state at per cent and re-
lending it to their farmer neighbors
at or 8 or 10 per cent. The plan
of Governor Williams is to make
this sort of thing impossible.

Q.des, !. show how a bond issue
fLr $1,250,000 can be financed with
out raising the present millage?
Ans. No. /. The books of the
| county officers show that the amount
TO be collected for the road fund for
ibis year amounts to $4,000. The
interest at five per cent on 1,250,-
900 is $4,000. County Commits
jioner Mann states that it costs $780,
900 to maintain the convicts, an
amount which while they earn will
nave to be provided for. This makes
total of $4,000, leaving a surplus
II $2S,5OG.
CUES, .. How are the bonds to
Je redeemed?
Ans :. The commissioners pro-
pose to issue serial bonds payable
.nnually latter five years from date
If issue at the rate OF $4,000 per
,nnum, which will pay off the prin-
ipal in twenty-five years from date
Cues. B. From the above figures
he charges for interest, sinking
ind and maintainence of convicts
he sixth year after the issuance of
the bonds will be $4,000. How
will this charge be met with an in
come of $4,000?
Ans. 3. 1t cannot be done nor is
such an impossibility contemplated.
The assessed value of the county has
been growing steadily each year for
the past five years at at average rate
of per cent per annum. Surely no
citizen of county like Polk will
question that with good roads the
assessed value will increase in an
even greater ratio, but, allowing only
the increase with bad roads, at the
end of five years the assessed value
on that basis would be $33,000,000
and the present millage would give
the road fund the sum of 1924, 900
instead of $4,000, which, after al
lowing $4,000 for interest, sinking
fund, and maintenance of convicts,
would leave a surplus of 81 IA 900;
as much as the entire income at the
present time. This is not merely
optimistic-.it is logical and no good
business man will question it, or, if
he does, in order to be consistent he
should leave the county
Dues, 4. How does the taxpayers
know the roads will be built which
they are asked to bond for?
Ans. 4. Before the bond cleo
ton is called, a bid for the COM
pleted work will have been accepted
tion, thus insuring the entire cleo
ton, thus ensuring the entire carry
ing out of the contract for the whole
system for the price bid and asked
for by the bond issue.
CUES. ,. Who will handle the
money?
Ans ). The law requires that the
money be disbursed by board of
bond trustees
Cues. g. Why is large mileage
of nine-foot roads contemplated?
Ans. 6. To allow for a large mile
age On much travelled roads the
width will be fifteen feet, on those
less Travelled. . feet. The additional
width can be added after the de-
mand arises Ivy the ability of the
county to do So In the meantime IA
