HOLCOMB AND THE RECORD.
The Governor’s Position Not Sustained by
the Supreme Court—Attempt to Make
Political Capital a Failure—Facts
From the Record Plainly Stated.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. IT.—The records
of the board of educational lanrls and
funds do not bear out the assertions of
Governor Holcomb as to his zeal in se
curing the investment of the perma
nent school fnnd. He had been in of
fice fifteen months before he interested
himself in the matter, and then he set
ont upon a course that the board could
not follow, because the investment in
general fund warrants, which he pro
posed, was clearly unconstitutional. In
deed, his eleventh hour zeal, his im
pugning the action and motives of the
board, and his constant self glorifica
tion gave riso to a well founded suspic
ion that he was working on the line of
his own political interests, and that the
interests of the state wero all the while
secondary.
What the Record* Show,
At a regular meetiner of the board of
educational lands and funds, held
March 10, 189((, Messrs. Bartley, Piper,
Bussell and Churchill were present, and
Governor Holcomb was abseut. Mr.
- Piper acted afl chairman pro tern in the
governor’s absence. Mr. Bussoll, sec
retary, submitted the proposition of
Otoe county to sell the state eighty-five
$1,000 bonds, and upon motion Mr. Rub
-i'.Iwbs authorized to notify the clerk
. of that county that the state would pur
' chase the bonds, provided they drew 5
per oent interest, payable serai-nunnally.
Mr. Bussell also laid before the board
a proposition from Saunders county to
eell $100,000 worth of bonds, drawing
' • per cent interest, and a resolution
. was adopted to purchase the bonds at
; par, provided they should be made to
draw 5 per cent interest.
inese were the nrst propositions from
Otoe and Saunders counties, and the
governor took no part in the transac
tions of the board concerning them.
A Prenpum .to Broken.
•' The clerk of Otoe county did not reply
to the offer of the board of Maroh 10,
and nothing more was heard from these
bonds until May 10, when Governor
Holcomb submitted a proposition to pay
Beits, Denison & Prior,brokers of Cleve
land, 0.,a cash pTemium;of $3,500 to so
cure these bonds.
It was remarked by Mr.' Russell that
; such a transaction "looked a little
shady,” as the board had already of
; fared to take the Otoe county bonds at
’ par. The governor^ only reply was
that "it might be so construed.” Mr.
Russell furthor remarked that if any
other member of the board bad made
..that proposition there would be people.
In the state "mean epough to suggest
■ a'divvy.’ ”
: '■ To dispose of the governor’s resolu
tionto pay $3,500’bpnus to brokers for
. the Otoe county bondSj Mr. Russell of
. ..fered the following resolution, which
. was adopted,. and in accordance with
which the -bonds were afterward pur
-: ohosod:
"Resolved, That said offer is hereby
accepted, provided that said bonds are
in all respects regularly and legally is
sued and registered, as required by law,
and that the state treasurer is hereby
authorized tand directed to pay said
party for said bonds, provided they will
accept the premium in coupons first ma
turing upon said bonds,, and the treas
urer is hereby authorized to pay the ac
crued interest oh said bonds to the date
'• ofpnrohase.” :
It was this transaction that the gov
ernor endeavored to ' make capital out
of, declaring that Mr. Russell’s resolu
tion wns “bpncombe," and not in good
faith. But the result shows that the
state's interests were protected and the
bonus paid in coupons instead of cash.
me Hepnbiicau members of the board
never acted against! any proposition by
Governor Holoomb to purchase bonds
- under ^e provisions of the constitution,
and endeavored to keep the rate of in
terest on bonds up to 6 per cent, bat
through the governor's persistent efforts
the rate was finally reduced to 4}£ per
oent. The board had endeavored to se
cure the Otoe' and Saunders county
bonds at 6 per cent, and would doubtless
have done so had not the governor’s de
sire to curry favor with counties by of
fering to aocept their bonds at a lower
rate, finally thwarted the efforts of the
board to save this half of 1 per cent for
the permanent school fund.
In consequence, on April 18, Mr. Bus
sell submitted a resolution as follows:
"Whereas, we have affixed a prioe in
the acceptance of the Greeley county
bonds at per cent; therefore,
"Besolved, That we accept the propo
sition made by the commissioners of
Saunders county to sell and deliver to
the state 100 bonds of $1,000 each, draw
ing interest at the rate of 4>£ per cent,
payable semi-annually,’’
This proposition was accepted by
Saunders county. It will also be seen
that the Hepubfioan members of the
board placed themselves squarely on
record as to their intention to invest the
permanent school fund. On the same
date, April 18, the board also declared
by resolution that "it is desirable that
the funds belonging to the state for
educational purposes should be kept in
vested wherever it can be done without
say question -as to our constitutional
right to do so." ‘ <
Warrants Ara Mot Sonorities.
In seotion 9, article 8, of the constitu
tion of Nebraska, it is expressly pro
vided that the moneys in the permanent
sohool fund "HBAIiL MOT BE INVESTED OB
TAAMED EXCEPT IM UNITED STATES OB
'AXE SECURITIES, OB REGISTERED COON
MMDS OP THE STATE, * * * AMD
PH AIX NOT BE TRANSFERRED lO ANT
OTHER FUND FOR OTHER USES.”
In contravention of the above section
of the constitution, the legislature in
1891 passed an act directing the state
treasurer to invest money in the perma
nent school fund in "any state warrant
issued in pursuance of an appropriation
raude by the legislature, and secured by
the levy of a tax forits payment," when
said warrants shall be presented for
payment aud there shall not be money
in tho proper fund for the payment
thereof.
The board of educational lands and
funds undertook to give effect to the
above statute by suitable resolution, dur
ing Governor Crounse’s administration,
when a controversy arose as to the con
stitutionality of the act. An application
was made to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus (the purpose being to
test tho constitutionality of the act) to
compel the treasurer to invest the school
fund in state warrants.
The court decided adversely on two
points:
1. That “where it was held that in
so far as it was sought thereby to con
fer upon the treasurer alone authority
to invest the permanent school fund, it
is in conflict with the provision of sec
tion 9, article 8, of the constitution.”
2. That "said act provides in sub
stance for a transfer to the general fund
of tho permanent school fund of the
state, and is therefore in conflict also
with the section of the constitution
above set out.”
This is the legal side of the question
in a nutshell, and Governor Holcomb’s
contention was in the face of the decis
ion above referred to.
Tho permanent school fund of the
state is a sacred trust, and the board of
educational lands and funds acted wise
ly in showing a disposition to keep
within the reasonable safeguards of the
constitution. It may be added that it is
out of this careful, business-like, law
respecting conduct of the board, that
Governor Holcomb has sought to make
political capital for himself.
It may be finally added, on this point,
that Governor Holcomb must have
known that the school fund could not
be invested in general fund warrants,
because on March 29, 1895, he signed
the act providing for the submission of
u uuiiBMtuuonai amendment—to be
voted ou at the coming election—author
izing such investment.
The Permanent School Fond.
When Governor Holcomb travels over
the state giving out information regard
ing the school fund, he does not tell the
whole truth. Virtually he states an un
truth by giving only a part of the truth.
His statements have been taken up by
the Populist press and given out in
Popocratio convention*, the intention
being doubtless to misinform the public
in ordor that the governor’s political
axes might be ground at public expense.
The fact is that the total investment
of the moneys of the permanent school
fund amounts to the enormoas sum of
13,308,611.85.
The moneys in the permanent school
fund at the present time, not invested,
amount to $513,539.31.
Bonds purchased and not yet delivered
to the state aro as follows: Saunders
county, $100,000; Lancaster county,
$70,000; total, $170,000.
When the investment of $170,000 is
taken from the total of $513,639.84,
, there will remain in the permanent
sohool fnnd, uninvested, $843,529.34.
This sum will be invested in “securities”
as provided by the constitution, when
ever the opportunity is presented to the
board.
The amount invested during the in
cumbency of the present board, cover
ing a period of 22 months, has been
$389,170.
As a matter of farther information it
may. be stated that in addition to the
total amonnt in the permanent school
fnnd, $3,831,040.69, there are in the of
fice of the commissioner of public lands
and bnildiugs promissory notes from
the 'sale of school lands aggregating
$5,200,000. This swells the permanent
school fund to a round $9,000,
000, and the people of Nebraska
have a right to expeot that this muni
ficent fund shall be handled in a thor
oughly business like manner, with all
possible cantion and core, to the end
that the principal may he held intact
forevor. and that onr public school sys
tem shall be benefited by the dividends
therefrom for all time.
No Republican official has sought to
benefit himself, through personal emol
ument or political capital, from his
connection with this sacred trust.
Governor Holcomb can answer for
himself as to how far he had sought to
make his official connection with it
serve his political ends.
