SCHOOL LAND FUNDS
HAVE BtEN PROPERLY INVESTED BY
STATE OFFICIALS.
General Fond Warmntu Not "Securities"
and the Supreme Court So Decide * Got.
Holcomb Still Hunting On the School
Fund No Person Need Bo Deceived by
Populist Chip-Trap.
Lincoln , Neb. , Oct. 6. A number of
Populist aud Democratic conventions
have adopted resolutions censuring the
state officers composing the board of
educational lauds and funds for ref using
or failing to invest the money in the per
manent school fund iu state securities.
Populist speakers also touch upon it
occasionally , aud Governor Holcomb not
infrequently refers in his talks and in
terviews to the trouble he has had to
get the board to invest the funds as di
rected by law , the inference being , of
course , that the purpose is to keep
funds idle in the treasury for the bene
fit of the state treasurer.
Your correspondent has taken the
pains to examine the records closely ,
and to acquaint himself with the facts
from other sources , the result being that
the governor is convicted of being a
cheap pettifogger and that the allega
tions are absolutely and entirely with
out foundation.
Governor Holcomb contended for a
& time that a warrant of the state
general fund was a state "security , "
and could therefore be made the basis of
investment of the school funds. The
board took the opposite view , which is
sustained by the supreme court , which
has declared that such a procedure is
the equivalent of making a transfer from
one fund to another , a course that is un
constitutional and contrary to law. This
is the coarse that the governor insisted
upon following , and that he blames the
board for not adopting , in the face of
the decision of the highest court of the
3tate that it can not be done.
It is a fact that the board of educa
tional lands and funds has invested in
all bonds of the various counties of Ne
braska that have been presented , except
in one instance where the action of the
governor compelled it to buy a block of
bonds from a broker and pay a bonus of
52,500 which could have been saved to
the state if the governor's action had
not caused the sale to brokers instead of
to the state direct. It is therefore sur
prising to note that he still refers to the
matter occasionally and strives to get a
little cheap glory through a distortion of
the record.
As a matter of fact the state officials
tiave acted conscientiously and accord
ing to law in all matters during the two
vears that they have been at the capitol.
They have not only given the state faith
ful service , but have also conducted the
business economically and thrown every
safeguard around the expenditure of
public funds and the transaction of pub
lic business. Governor Holcomb knows
this , but just at present he is . making a
; ampaign of self-glorification , and sees
ao way to build himself up except by
iearing somebody else down. * * *
The Donkey's Fate.
A SILVER MAN'S TENANT FARM.
Landlord Uookwalter's Farms in Pawnee
County Tell Their Own Story.
Pawnee county has one locality that '
presents a great contrast. It is in that
part of the county where the thousands
of acres owned by John W. Bookwalter
are located. The Bookwalter system of
tenant fanning , judging from appear
ances , is not a success. The landlord
and his mortgage system bears heavily
upon the tenant and where homes and
home improvements ought to be are only
the evidence of hastily cultivated fields
and temporary improvements of the
cheapest character. Surrounded as these
10,000 acres are with splendid farms
owned.by individual farmers , owned by
farmers who have their great red barns
and commodious houses , who have herds
of stock , fine groves and loaded orchards ,
the barrenness and neglect that marks
the Bookwalter acres stamps that land
lord and tenant system as a greater fail
ure than words easily picture.
The owner of these lands , John W.
Bookwalter , is a silver man and he has
written a book upon the silver question.
With a liberality not noticeable in other
dealings with his tenants he has pre
sented them with copies of his book , but
they will maintain their independence
in voting this year the same as they
have done heretofore. The people of
Pawnee who are acquainted with some
of the records at the court house think
that they know one reason at least why
the proprietor of the Bookwalter acres
is for silver.
The State and Connty TicKets.
In the excitement of a national cam
paign let us not forget our state and
county officers. The work of redemp
tion must be thorough , and no office is
too small to bp of some importance in
weighing results in November Hart-
ingtou Herald. '
