)" 16 TEE ALLIANCE -IN DEPENDENT. IGNORING THE LAW. When Treasurer Hill was called be fore the housjc investigating committee in 1891, ho positively refused to state where tho state funds were. lie did this in violation of the law, which reada-aa follows: He (tha state treasurer) shall give information in writing to either house of tho legislative assembly, whenever required upon any subject conntcttd uith the treasury, or touching any duty of his office. ltather than inform the house com mittee what ho had done . with the state's money, Mr. Hill ehuso to Ig nore tho law, and run tho risks. The members of the committee being mostly farmers and larking experience in such matters, did not undertake to force tho treasurer to do his duty, but reported tho matter back to the house, and their report was spread upon the pages of the journal. Tho general impression created by tho treasurer's conduct was that he had tho state funds distributed among certain favorite banks and money loaners over tho state from whom he was drawing a good rate of interest, and that he found himself unable to call it in. Hence rather than expose tho truth, he decided to "run a bluff" on tho committee A few weeks prior to this (November 30, 1890,) tho treasurer had published a report showing that there was in the state treasury in cash, $1,599,248.20. Of this $522,364 were in the per manent school fund which was covered by tho law requiring the treasurer to buy stato warrants. Tho balance of considerably over a million dollars belonged to the various other funds. Without any reasonable doubt this money was not in the treasury, but out in tho hands of money loaners who wore paying the treasurer a good rate of iaterost for it. Hqw much has been "in the treasury" (?) from month to month since then is not known to the public simply because Treasurer Hill has chosen to ignore another law. In 1879, there was a law passed pro viding that there thall be printed in somo newspaper published at the capi tal, to be designated by the governor, a monthly statement under oath, of the amount of cash balance in the treasury. Compiled Statutes of 1887, Chap. 83, Art. 13, Sec. 2. Has anybody ever seen such a state ment published? The fact is that this law, like so many others, is absolutely ignored by the state treasurer. And the only way the people of Nebraska can find out the amount of money in the state treasury is by going to the head tyrant of the office and humbly asking for such information as he sees fit to givo out.
