SUPPLEMENT.
bring the State quite a snug sum, and, of
course the State ought to have it.
Treasurer Jackson would take a de-
servedly high position as a reformer if
he would vigorously advocate the pay-
ment to the State of interest on the State
moneys which it is found necessary to
keep in the banks, meantime paying over
to Philadelphia what was due it months
ago, so that—if itis not to be immedi-
ately expended—the city can get the ben-
efit of the interest on it.
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, Oct. 5.
THE STATE SCHOOL FUND.
On the 1st of July last there was due
the city of Philadelphia upward of
$1,000,000 on account of the State school
fund; but up to this time City Treasurer
Qellers, who, on account of the city’s
needs for ready money, has been urging
a prompt remission of the amount, has
Jeusived only two. payments of $150,000
each.
More than $700,000 is therefore still
due to the city, and no satisfactory reason
has been given to the City Treasurer up
to this time why it continues to be with—
held, or why the instalments have not at
least been as large and as frequent as
those delivered to City Treasurer Mc-
Creary in the preceding year. .
This delay in transferring to the city
money owing by the State is not, how-
ever, a new experience, but it is one
which ought to be done away with. It
is unfair to the city in depriving it of the
use of the money for its current expen-
ses, or of the interest on it as a deposit;
it is unbusiness-like, and it invites sus-
picions as to the custody or handling ot
the fund.
State Treasurer Jackson should either
comply at once with the urgent requests
of the City Treasurer or furnish an ex-
planation of the conditions of the Treas-
ury that justify the delay.
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, Oct. 8.
INTEREST ON STATE DEPOSITS.
The failure of State Treasurer Jackson
to comply promptly with the request of
City Treasurer Oellers for the payment of
the city’s share of the school fund again
invites attention to the practice in the
State Treasury of distributing large bal<]
ances among the banks without interest.
There has never been any good reason
advanced why, if the city of Philadelphia
can easily command two per cent. for its
monies on deposit, the Commonwealth
should not receive the same. considera-
tion at the hands of the banks which it
selects as depositories. If the State
. Treasury were under the same law that
governs the City Treasury in respect to
interest on its call balances, it would be
nearly if not quite $100,000 richer every
year.
The profit which private parties are
«nabled to make out of the handlings of
the i usually well on
to §5,000,000—which the State carries in
the banks, is one of the long-standing
abuses at Harrisburg which the authors
of the Republican reform platform this
year need not travel very far to lok
into.
Let Colonel Heywood, in his letter of
acceptance as the Republican candidate
* for State Treasurer, pledge himself to
put an end to this loose and unbusiness-
like management of the public monies.

BAD ADMINISTRATION OF THE STATE
TREASURY.
Apologists for the ‘‘unbusiness-like
administration of the State Treasury
offer as an excuse for the State Treas-
urer’s custom of carrying a balance of
ay & Te 4
~~ 4a
ca MESE dlls w.o aula. . HAE aa
amount, compared with the regular ap-
propriations for schools and to reim-
burse the counties for personal property
tax collected, the money for which is he d
in the Treasury long after it has become
due and payable. ese obligations are
not, it appears, treated as ‘‘ drasts that
must be promptly met.” It is stated that
there is still due the public schools the
sum of $2,500,000. hy is it not paid
from the balance of $4,400,000 reported
to be in the hands of the State Treas-
urer? More than a million dollars was
due to Philadelphia on school account
for the year ending June 30, 1895. On
August 15th $150,000 of this overdue ac-
count was paid, and on September 15th
another instalment of $150,c00 was re-
ceived by the City Treasurer, leaving
more than $700,000 remaining due. If the
city had this money it would be drawing
interest thereon ; the State gets no in-
terest on its balance of four to five mil-
lion dollars, and this particular sum of
$700,000 is, so far as the Stateis con-
cerned, lying idle, while Philadelphia, to
whom it belongs, is denied the use of it.
The City Treasurer has endeavored to
collect the money in larger instalments,
but without success thus far. These are
the bare facts of the case, and they call
for immediate action by Governor Hast-
ings, who was greatly concerned about
the State finances during the session of
the Legislature. He will find ona super-
ficial examination of the State Treasury
that the large balance due the State from
banks, and nominally held that the State’s
obligations may be promptly met, really
belongs to cities and counties on overdue
accounts; in other words, that the obli-
gations of the State have not been
Promayly met. He will find, moreover,
that this large balance is widely distrib-
uted in numerous banks, nine-tenths.ot
which would not be selected by prudent
business men as places of deposit as lon,
as much sounder banks existed. He wi
find that the State draws no interest on
the deposits, and that as a consequence
there is no reason why the State should
carry such balances at some risk when it
might better use the money to discharge
overdue obligations. ‘
And he must conclude from a general
review of the situation that somebody
has a personal interest in keeping these
large balances, and that the somebody
maintains these deposits in banks of
which the Jrastest number are obscure
or of poor financial standing, because it
is just such institutions that are willing
to pay interest on deposits, while the
larger and stronger banks refuse to do
so, especially to public officers who de-
posit public monies.
And if Governor Hastings should come
to this conclusion it is manifestly his
duty to require the State Treasurer to
reduce his balances by promptly payin
the overdue obligations of the State an
also to do what may lie in his power to
secure interest for the State on the de-
posits allowed to remain in banks. It
may require action by the Legislature to
secure this last reform, but a Governor
who poses as an economist by his vetoes
of appropriations to charitable institu-
tions, and who sets himself up as a guide
in the estimation of revenues and re-
ceipts, should not hesitate a moment
about instituting such reforms. If he
should do nothing more than secure the
payment of $700,000 of school money long
overdue he will transfer that amount of
money from a dead account of the State
which yields no revenue to a live account
of the city bearing interest, which, in-
stead of going into the pockets of indi-
viduals, will help to replenish the City
Treasury.
