HOME EDITION
TWO CENTS PER COPT
i made such by Governor Goodrich’s
finance board, xvith a deposit of $90,00!),
and this amount was increased to $200,-
| 000 during tbe McCray administration.
“I Am not running the bank at KenD
! land now, myself, but I will say that
xxv have a capital anil surplus es $140,000
and the State's funds there are amply
protected by bonds, too," Governor Mc-
Cray said.
! "Mr. Van Nuys failed to state, as he
did about the deficit of the general fund
repayments, that xx-ithdrawals bad been
niade from the Kentland bank.
“The amount now on deposit at ths
Discount and Deposit Bank of the State's
money is $160,000," the Governor said.
The Governor said he did not under
stand hoxv the Democrats arrived at the
figure of $1,250 a mile upkeep cost of
highways under the State highway com
mission, as charged by Van Nuys, but
said that he was going to look into the
matter.
When asked about the charge of Mr.
Van Nuys that canvas sent to the State
1 highway commission by the War De
partment had been sold, Governor Mc-
Cray said;
“We received a car of canvas and sold
it and the money was turned in to the
State highway fund.”
Mr. Van Nuys in his speech said that
the material had been put on the mar
ket at a figure far below what Indian
apolis Jobbers said they could buy it.
BANKS MAKE GOOD
THING OUT OF FI NDS.
The Slate receives interest at the rate
2 per cent on deposits, while the banks
charge nt the prevailing rate of inter
est, making the handling of the State's
money very profitable business for banks
which'are fortunate enough to obtain the
use of State money. The low rate of
interest is accounted for by the fact that
the State is continually disbursing large
sums and most of tbe money is supposed
to be available for immediate usage. For
this reason it bas been the practice of
the board of finance to make the largest
banks the largest depositories and strong
Indianapolis finnnoial Institutions where
large amounts could be withdrawn on
short notice or no notice at all, were
made depositories for large sums.
William G. Oliver, auditor of State, de
clared he opposed the practice of using
the State board of finance for the advan
tage of an officeholder. Mr, Oliver was
the oniy member of the board not un
fa v rably criticised by Mr. Van Nuys
in his speech.
FRANKLIN BANKS
GET SMALL DEPOSITS.
Air. Olivers’ home is at Franklin, where
he xvas formerly mayor. He said that
xvhen lie became auditor requests for
State deposits wore made on him by the
three banks nt Franklin, in none l<f
which of xvhieh, he said, did he own a
dollar's worth cf stock. He said de
posii* of $25,000 xx-ere made in each of
Franklin's banks xx-hich had never had
deposits of the State before. He said
one of the throe banks he did not do any
business with, but was determined to
treat them all alike. He said the amounts
allotted xx-ere not excessive and were
fully protected by bonds.
Ora ravtes, treasurer of state, was ac
cused by Mr. Van Nuys as being re
sponsible for the increase of the de
podts of the Farmers Trust Company
of Kokomo from $20,000 to $60,000. Mr.
Davies has no financial Interest in the
Kokomo institution. Mr Van Nuys said
the hank befriended Pnx-is xvhen he was
short in his accounts as Howard County
treasurer.
In vie-w of the attitude of Mr. Oliver,
who declared that he did not favor the
practice, it xx-as said that the Governor
and fresnurer constituted the majority
which acted in the cases pointed out by
Mr. Van Nuys.
GOODRICH CROWD
SETS E\ AMPLE.
The precedent of the Goodrich admin
istration xxas set forth as reason for
the course followed by that of McCray.
It xvas charged that Governor Goodrich
xvas financially Interested in several
banks xvhieh held large deposits of tba
State’s money.
Ben H. Urhaiing. deputy State treas
urer, declared the same methods were
used by the Democrats. He said that
during the time that Dale J. Crittc-nber
eer of Anderson was auditor of State
the banks of Anderson were made depos
itories for extremely large amounts of
the State’s money. With the election of
Goodrich and a Republican treasurer and
auditor, the Anderson banks were re
lieved of the biggest part of their State
deposits and the money transferred else
where, he said.
When the Goodrich finance board took
this course, Crittenberger and Edward
C. Toner, twice candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Governor, came
fn Indianapolis and insisted that the An
derson banks be used as the depository
for large amounts, Mr. Urbahns said.
Another practice which grew up, ac
cording to one official, under the admin
istration of tbe Goodrich board of finance,
by which bankers and banks throughout
the State were required so buy stocks
tnd bonds for xvhieh members of the
State board of finance -acted as agents, or
elso turned doxvn requests for State
money to deposit in their banks.
When the present auditor of State went
onto office he said reports began com
ing to him of practices xx-hich he saJdj
he could not counter,auce. He refused!
to say xvho the officials xvere who, ac-J
cording to his reports, xx-ere guilty ofl
holding a club over numerous bank of-'
fieials throughout the State. I
