Seeming : Implication That - He Has Not Properly Han dled School Fund. . ' ' " (SUff OorreMWDdencc.) - Salem, Or, Feb. ,. A, direct issue between Governor. West and State Treas-r ,urer Kay, appears to hare been created I by th introduction of a bill yesterday; fciv Senator Joseph, providing for the I i?Syment of . 125.882 to . reimburse the i . common school fund -for moneys paid i out by the state treasurer. t Treasurer Kay resents this measure, because, he ' says.l it carries the impli cation that hi has not properly handled - the money Of .the school fund. He says in so many wdrds that it is spite work on the part of. the governor be cause of differences they have had as to otner, matters. . t Governor West says.. very little,:, but ml lea -much. The bill Is apparently Well designed to develop opposing: Ideas ' as to the handling of the school fund and he is seemingly satisfied to hav the question threshed atrte" The question arises over the employ . niont of a clerk in the treasurer' office Who devotrs the most of his time to the work of collecting Interest, on Botes i neior tor toe benefit of the common . school fund, -This clerk, says the gov ernor, is an . appointee of the treasure t ' end his salary is not chargeable to any. ; one but the treasurer. ; The payment of ' - the expense , of this part' of the work in the treasurer's office; the . governor asserts, is up to the- treasurer,, not to the land board. , ' Kay tells another story. He says this , clerk is an employe of the land board. , and works ;. In the treasurer's of flee merely as a matter.of convenience. The treasurer Is the custodian of the notes ...... held Xor the common senool fund, and will not permit them to leave his office , as ha says he is held .responsible for them and has given bond for their safe. - keeping. As tm of flee of the land board . is on another floor of the state house. K . tlrtiA tnri' nf 19 mnnpla fnr, flnrlr tn run back and - forth' continually from one office to toe other. ' , Collects Interest o irotts. Kay points out that this clerk collects Interest semi-annually on 7000, notes held for the state land board, in which the $8,000,000 school fund Is Invested. Me assert that. .Governor West, when state land agent, accepted travel pay from the school fund, and was really on the same basis as the clerk whose pay is now in question. V Kay admits that this clerk performs the work of cashier in his office, but this work, outside the duties of the state land board, amounts to not over an hour a day, he asserts, and is more than overbalanced by the fact that one of the state treasurer's stenographers is lent much of the time to assist the land board clerk. ' , The crux of the question is this; Kay contends that the cashier in his office is as much and as fully a clerk of the land board as the three employes of that board who work in the land board office down stairs. The governor ro torts that this clerk is in the treasurer's office and is responsible to the treas- uerer, acting as cashier, . ' Governor Wert's Theory. V' Joseph's bill is based on the gover nor's theory that tha. expense of this clerk and the adding machine used by rim should come from the general fund for support of the treasurer's office. Kay's response Is that if this clerk Is improperly paid from the common school fund, all other employes of. the state .land board are also improperly , There Is some difference of opinion as to the use of money from the school fund for payment of expenses of the land board. Kay's grievance is that Joseph's bill has singled out the clerk in his office, with an Inference that Kay has not properly guarded the school fund. Unquestionably the Joseph , bill has raised an acuta question. The gover nor's use of certain funds has bern questioned on the ground that it was expended In an Irregular way. Here is report that the treasurer must also go under fire. The question of what's what promises to enliven the remaining days of the session.
