BECKMANN WILL STAND PAT
Sees No Reason for Changing His
Mind with Regard to Irriga
tion Bonds. .
ASKS WHY SINGLE HIM OUT
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 18. (Speclal.)-ETforts
of certain democratic politician" to make
political capital out of the fact that Land
Commissioner Fred Beckmann, had re
fused to give his sanction to the pur
chaae of certain Irrigation bonds appears
to cause them to redoubte their efforts
when they see that the land commis
sioner has his side of the story and Is
not afraid to talk If necessary.
Some time ago the charge was made
by William Ritchie of Bridgeport that
Land Commissioner Beckmann had re
fused to give his sanction as a member
of the state board of public landa and
funds, to the purchase of $26,050 Irrigation
bonds of the Short Line district, near
that place.
Mr. Beckmann In answer to the charge
states that Mr. Ritchie visited him and
told him that State Treasurer Hall was
opposed to the investment of the school
fund In that kind of security. He told
Mr. Ritchie that he too believed as it
was school money that school district
bonds should be given the perference.
However, he said that there were five
members of the board and it they
favored it that settled It.
Why Slnale Oat Onet
Mr. Beckmann now desires to know
why he tho only republican on the board
should be charged with not buying the
bonds. The matter was never taken be
fore the board and, therefore, he can
hardly see how he can be charged with
defeating the purchase when it was never
Lbeen before the board for its consider
ation.
Mr. Beckmann says he does not blame
the agent for trying to sell the bonds.
but would like to know, if they are "gilt
edge," why they have not been sold be
fore, as they have been on the market
since they were voted in April, 1914. Mr.
Beckmann says that Ritchie admitted,
that he had been trying hard to sell them
and that the bonds had been put up for
security to a bank which was now threat
ening foreclosure to obtain Its money.
One Positive Statement.
I see." said Mr. Beckmann, "that Mr.
Ritchie has a statement In the papers in
which he says that he' did not intend
to blame me for the non-Bale of the bonds
and that he states the difference between
my stand and that of State Treasurer
Hall and Secretary of State Pool, was
that they did not positively state that
they were oprwed
the bonds.
"I Just want to say regarding the whole
matter that I am willing the public
should Judge whether I was wromr In
not wanting to invest the school funds In
bonds which, though Mr. Ritchie says
sre 'gilt edge,' he has been unable to
place them on the market In more than
a year's efforts. His admission Uxlny
that the bonds are practically a drun on
the market appears to me to be suffici
ent evidence that my stand In the matter
was the correct ono to takoi
" If I as the only republican member
of the board musf bear the tilntne fur
not purchasing bonds with public funds,
when the agent himself admits their
lack of ready sale qualifications, then
I am ready to take the blame and stund
on my record."
