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 McCray 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 understand hoxv the Democrats arrived at the figure of $1,250 a mile upkeep cost of highways under the State highway commission, 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 Department had been sold, Governor McCray 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 market at a figure far below what Indianapolis 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 interest, 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the largest banks the largest depositories and strong Indianapolis finnnoial Institutions where large amounts could be withdrawn on short notice or no notice at all, were made depositories for large sums.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, declared he opposed the practice of using the State board of finance for the advantage of an officeholder. Mr, Oliver was the oniy member of the board not unfa 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 deposii* 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 accused by Mr. Van Nuys as being responsible for the increase of the depodts 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 administration 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 treasurer, 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 depositories for extremely large amounts of the State’s money. With the election of Goodrich and a Republican treasurer and auditor, the Anderson banks were relieved of the biggest part of their State deposits and the money transferred elsewhere, he said. When the Goodrich finance board took this course, Crittenberger and Edward C. Toner, twice candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, came fn Indianapolis and insisted that the Anderson banks be used as the depository for large amounts, Mr. Urbahns said. Another practice which grew up, according to one official, under the administration 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 coming 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 HAD PINT OF MULE. " M.
