POPULIST STATE TREASURER
An Administration Showing- the Hlg-hft
Bualneca Ability and Absolut Hon
esty. Last fall the .people of Nebraska by
a small majority decided that state
officers of republican politics should
serve them during the next two years.
Just what causes contributed toward
making this change of state adminis
tration we shall not now discuss. But
it is meet that something be said as
to what has been accomplished by the
outgoing officers during their incum
bency, and a hint or two thrown out
as to what the incoming officers must
not fail to do If the republican party
holds the reins of state government
more than a bare two years. In pass
ing, The Independent predicts that if
the incoming officers fail to keep up
the pace set by the outgoing officers,
in any material point, their service
will be of short duration. On the
other hand, should the incoming offi
cers prove equal to the emergency
well, give us good government and
there will be little. incentive to change.
Excepting the governors office,
probably no other at the capitol has
had in recent years so much advertis
ing as the state treasurer's office.
During the past four years the people
of Nebraska have learned more about
how the business is done at the treas
ury than they had learned in the thir
ty years previous. And, aided by this
knowledge, they will readily under
stand whether the acts of Treasurer
elect Steufer are to be commended or
condemned.
The difference between Treasurer
Meserve's business methods and those
of his republican predecessors is
marked. Yet in substance his plan is
to collect all moneys due the state as
rapidly as possible and disburse them
according to law with the least possi
ble delay.
Under the law county treasurers are
required to remit to the state treas
urer all moneys belonging to the state
twice a year, and at such other times
as the state treasurer may require.
Republican treasurers who preceded
Mr. Meserve exercised this prerogative
but little if at all, and most county
treasurers were not averse to holding
the state taxes six months before re
mitting, in the meantime, of course,
allowing some favored bank to care
for the money. Mr. Meserve made a
change in this. He required the treas
urers of about 50 of the larger coun
ties to remit as soon as possible after
the first of each month their collec
tions of state taxes during the month
preceding; and the remaining smaller
counties were given sixty or ninety
days between remittances.
This plan meant an increase of from
four to five times as many items of
bookkeeping and a thousand dollar
receipt is as hard to write and post,
etct as one for ten thousand dollars.
But Meserve was a populist and did
not. look upon office-holding as a
"snap." And it also meant that the
state taxes could be applied to their
intended uses ' more promptly. Sev
enty thousand dollars is a very conser
vative estimate of the saving in inter
est on registered general fund war
rants during the past four years, the
direct result of Treasurer Meserve's
good business methods. The legisla
ture of 1899, acting upon his recom
mendation, reduced the interest on
state warrants from 5 to 4 per cent;
and this saved another thirty thousand
dollars during his last term. The In
dependent has no desire to deprive the
legislature-of any just credit in this
matter; but it is safe to say that if
Mr. Meserve had not made the recom
mendation, and watched the bill at
every step, no such, reduction would
have been made. In his present bien
nial report he recommends a further
reduction to 3 per cent Let us see if
Mr. Steufer will succeed in having the
reduction made.
In many respects the crowning fea
ture of Mr. Meserve's administration
of the permanent educational funds
invested in interest-bearing securities
During the four years of his incum
bency he has purchased $2,308,189.89
in county bonds and warrants. Dur
ing the four years preceding, under a
republican treasurer, the total invest
ments were $949,687.93, or $1,358,501.96
less than under Treasurer Meserve.
INVESTMENTS MADE.
By Treasurer Meserve., . .$2,308,189 89
By Treasurer Bartley.... 949,687 93
Increase $1,358,501 96
Upon assuming the duties of his
office in January, 1897, Treasurer Me
serve found the condition of the four
trust funds as follows: ,

Cash balance available.. 153,809 13
Cash embezzled 335,878 08
Total ....$3,841,938 46
These same funds, after four years'
handling by a populist treasurer, will
be turned over to his successor as fol
lows: "
Securities .V .$4,474,501 44
Cash balances 91,639 48
Total $4,566,140 92
It will be noted that the total funds
have increased $724,202.46, the securi
ties $1,122,250.19; while the unin
vested cash has been decreased $398,
047.73. It is needless to say that the
people ought to applaud such good
work. . . ,. ..... .
A few; persons doubtless remember
the times under republican state ad
ministration when state general fund
warrants were "a drug on the mar
ket;" when they went begging for pur
chasers at discounts ranging from 3 to
7 per cent, although they bote Interest
after registration at the 'rate of 5 per
cent. Today 4 per cent' general fund
state warrants command a premium
of 1 per cent, and the bankers and
brokers are doing the begging to get
them. Neither Cleveland panics nor
McKinley prosperity will account for
the difference; but this will: Under
republican management, the perma
nent educational funds were not in
vested in state warrants; under fusion
government they were. The mere fact
that the state stands ready at all
times to take its general fund war
rants at par, will never permit them
to go below; and the state from time
to time has found it necessary to pay
a premium in order to get a fair share
of the warrants issued. In passing,
those "fifty-cent" dollar fellows might
make a note of this, because it is a fair
illustration of how silver dollars would
"depreciate" under free coinage.
During the next two years Treasurer
Steufer will receive moneys for the
trust funds approximately as follows:
Principal on lands sold......$ 700,000
Principal on bonds redeemed 300,000
Principal on war. redeemed. 1,200,000
Total y.... $2,200,000
Will he prove equal to the task of
keeping this large sum Invested? If
he will, then The Independent stands
ready to give him due credit some
thing no republican paper has ever
deigned to do for Treasurer Meserve.
But The Independent serves notice
that whenever the uninvested balances
go creeping up toward the half mil
lion mark, the people will be told,
and they will understand, that Treas
urer Steufer is neglecting his duties
as their servant. And if he and his
office force fail to make a balance
sheet of the previous month's busi
ness promptly on the first business day
of the next month, or a quarterly re
port to the auditor on the first busi
ness day after the quarter closes, or
a semi-annual report to the governor
within at most six business days after
the six months have ended, or certify
to the state superintendent the ap
portionable school funds not late.
than the third Tuesday in May and the
first Tuesday in December well, The
Independent will not call those fail
ures misdemeanors in office, but it
may suggest that, after all, the boasted
"business administration" which the
republicans have said they would give
is considerably less businesslike than
fusion control.

THE LEGISLATURE
The Senat and Ilouse Met on Tho First
Day of th Twentieth Century
and Organized.
The Nebraska legislature promptly
assembled at noon last Tuesday and
organized both houses. There had
been a caucus of the republican mem
bers and they had agreed upon the
elective offices, so everything went
through as swiftly as could have been
done at a Mark Hanna national con
vention. In the senate Lieutenant Governor
Gilbert presided. Alpha Morgan, the
old secretary, and Chaplain Cressman
were in their places. Governor Gil
bert called the senate to order and
Chaplain Cressman offered prayer. A
committee on credentials was ap
pointed. Chief Justice Norval ap
peared and the senators were sworn
in The rules of the former session
were adopted. The list of employes
agreed upon in the republican caucus
were presented and adopted without
discussion, the fusionists not delay
ing matters by presenting any names.
Secretary of State Porter was re
quested to swear in the new em
ployes, which he did. The following
is the list of the new officers of the
senate:
Senator- C. F. Steele, president pro
tem.
J. C: F. McKesson of Lancaster, sec
retary. -
A. R. Keim of Falls City, first as
sistant secretary." ,
Rev. A. A. Cressman of Crete, chap
lain. - . . - .- -
Clark -Robinson of Fairmont, ser-geant-at-arms.
W. H. Pool of Cass, chief enrolling
and engrossing clerk.
John Patrick of Washington, door
keeper. Harry Beebe of Stanton, custodian
of the cloak room.
The organization of the senate -being
completed, it notified the house
and adjourned.
At 12 o'clock sharp, Secretary of
State Porter rapped for order in the
house and cited his authority from
the constitution for calling the body
to order.
Rev. Dr. George W. Martin of Pal
myra offered prayer.
Theodore Mahn, clerk to the secre
tary of 6tate, acted as clerk and called
the roll of members. Only one mem
ber, Boulle, of Saunders, was not pres
ent. Laflin of Gage placed in nomination
for temporary speaker J. W. Arm
strong of Nemaha county, and Gull of
Saipy, nominated John C. Sprecher,
of Solfax. The roll call resulted:
Sprecher, 46; Armstrong, 53.
A committer on credentials was ap
pointed. John Wall was elected chief
clerk without opposition. The old
rules were adopted and as the names
of the members were called they de
posited their credentials. A recess of
ten minutes and then the committee
on credentials reported the names as
prepared by Secretary Porter. Chief
Justice Norval administered the oath.
Laflin of Gage moved to proceed to
a permanent organization and the mo
tion carried. McCarthy of Dixon nom
inated W. G. Sears of Burt for speaker
and Uhl of Douglas seconded. Taylor
of Custer nominated D. W. Hamilton
of Butler, and Zimmerman seconded.
The vote resulted Sears 53, Hamil
ton 46. On motion of Hamilton the
election was made unanimous.
The following permanent officers of
the house were then elected:
Chief clerk, John Wall, Arcadia.
First assistant, A. D. Gilmore, Au
burn. Second assistant, C. H. Barnard, Ta
ble Rock.
Third assistant, C. E. Sandall, York.
Fourth assistant, H. S. Wetherell,
Alma.
Sergeant-at-arms, A. Wilsey, Fron
tier county.
Chaplain, J. H. Presson, Milford.
Doorkeeper, F. L. Miller.
Postmaster, E. D. Preston, Hamil
ton county. -
The house then adjourned until 10
a. m., January 2.
