Schroeder, who, through all the years of prosecution and persecution, of .the former governor, stood by Len Small as attorney and friend.-; - Schroeder discussed the subject, because it has been hashed aud rehashed time and again by the Cermak Lettsocratk: machine, its candidate for governor, Henry Horner, and supporters, in ian effort to distract attention from their own vulnerabilities, and the grave consequences to the state of Illinois if they should be successful in the November Sth election. Mr. Schroeder's statement, in part, follows: Len Small was elected state treasurer in 1916 and "served during the World War period of 1917-1918. Treasurer Small, as was the custom,, daposited state funds in many banks throughout the state.. These banks peid interest on depqsits at the rate of 2 percent, which was the customary and usual rate on such accounts. He tHrned all principal and interest collected into the ftate treasury. Not a penny was lost to the state. State Treasury Was low "Small was anxious to build up the funds in the state treasury, which had been depleted during the preceding four years of Democratic national rule. "On account of wartime financial conditiins, many banks were not willing to pay interest on 'daily balances,' As failure to get such interest would mean a big loss sf the state, Small arranged with the Grant Park Bank (a private bank owned and controlled by the late State Sena&r E. Thus was a faithful pubtTc sefvaM punished, and obliged to pay $650,000 which he had never received, because of his perhafls mistaken zeal in trying to get 2 per cent interest for the slate on funds which, if deposited in oi her banka. wouid hav® earned m thing.

"Private banks were at that ti ne perfectly lawful, as everyone knows. Curtis was an experienced banker, a personal friend or the state treasurer, honest and trustworthy. "The Curtis bank loaned to - tfc<j Chicago packers the state funds deposited with it, taking short-terra notes, bearing interest at rates of 6 per cent, and in some caess 7 per cent. 'While Small, as state treasurer, could not lend state funds to the rackers, he could and did accept their notes as collateral security for repayment of the sums deposited with the Grant Park bank.

Not a dollar of principal was lost and the funds had earned for the 3tate 2 per cent interest" ~ Here. Mr. Schroeder related the history of Len Small's Indictment after he had become governoi1, and two and one-half years after he had been statd treasurer, his trial on charges of embezzlement and his acquittal by a Lake county jury. He told how Small was indicted after he had vetoed |7,- 000,000 in state appropriations, including 1689,600 from the fund of the attorney general who later indicted him, the attorney general who had tried to obtain as muc^ money as the ombined appropriatons for attorne>8 general in the 22 states west of the Mississippi River, six times as much a a the attorney general of Pennsylvania, seven times as much as the attorney general of Ohio and five times as much as the combined appropriaions of the attorneys general of Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky and Iowa, the five states surrounding IMinois. Small Cats Appropriations "Small cut $689,60j) fromv the attorney general's " appropriation but left him over $600,000, a sum almost equal to the combined appropriations for the attorneys general of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin," Mr. Schroeder said. "He told how the vindictiveness of the attorney general was continued Iter Mr. Small's acquittal on the criminal charges, by the starting of civil suitB, how none of the charges against other former state treasurers were ever tried, and how the attoruey general was rejected by the people in the next primary. "During the period between Small's arrangement with the Grant Park bank and the political persecution of the governor," Mr. Schroeder said, "Senator Curtis had died, his estate had been probated, and the assets distributed. "Although it was admitted that Small had actually turned over all funds and Interest collected by h'm to the state, the Supreme Court in a divided opinion, finally held in effect that (although he could not lawfully l'.Ave loaned the funds directly to the packers), nevertheless, the full interest paid by the packers belonged to the state, and that Small was per serially liable for the difference tween the amount of Interest collected by the bank from the packers, and tne 2 percent which Small had collected from the bank apd turned Into the state treasury. from the boat by the muzzle, when the! the Rt. Rev. Bishop P. J. Muldoon of report to the legislature at the close of his second term as governor, Bald that the money 'was not paid back into the treasury .... it was never in the state treasury and it never belonged to the state; none of it ever had -been received by me as interest on public funds. "The judge of the Supreme Court who actually wrote the opinion against me was a potential candidate for governor and expected to run against me for that office and was writing the opinion in such a mannt-r as to make it campaign material for himself when he beicame a candidate. Subsequently, this judge ^actually did become a candidate for governor. Prior to that time I had accounted for and paid into the state treasury the sum of $450,000, which was all the interest ever received by me from ell the banks In which state funds were deposited. This amount was more than twice the interest earned during the term of any other state treasurer up to that time. With the additional payment made in July, 1927, the total paid by me into the treasury is $1,100,600, or about 5 percent of all money available for deposit during my term as state treashrer, or 3 percent in excess of tho rate usually received on public funds. " 'I have paid into the treasury more interest than all state treasurers combined during the 99-year period from the time Illinois became a state in 1818 to the beginning of my term in 1917. " 'I believe that when the passing years enable us to look at this decision of our highest court with candid and unbiased eyes, we shall look upon tbat day as a regrettable incident in the history of the judicial departmenr.'^ Small's Administration Clean "Len Small was a good governo \ The eight years during which Lrm Small was governor were the best eight years the peopls of Illinois ever had. His administration was clean, honest, capable and independent. He built up the balance ln the state treasury from $15,000,000 to $40,000,000. He saved the taxpayurq, $16,700,000 that the legislature appro* priated more than was necessary. HOj reduced the cost of state government, until Illinois had the lowest cost per person of any state in the union, with four exceptions. ' "He built over 7,090 miles of paved roads without a cent of direct tax upon the property of the people and less than had been paid before he al an average cost of $10,000 per mil* took office. To Governor Small also should M credit of building the Illinois waterway, which should mean a saving of millions of dollars* every year to th» farmers of Illinois, and one dollar per ton to the coal users of Chicago, due to lower freight rates. "By cultivation of state lands uid fiugal management of state institutions, he provided the 36,000 wards of the state with better food, clothing and shelter, yet at lens cost per inmate than ever before. On Small's recommendation, the people voted $55,000,000 in soldier's bonus bonds. He approved over 267,- 000 claims which were paid to worthy sons of Illinois who served in tht world war. The voters of Illinois who believe that faithful public service is desirable, and who are opposed to tura ing the entire state of Illinois over to Tony Cermak, should mark ballots for Len Small." hammer caught on the seat with the result above stated.
