Tho Public Debt From o Practical
Standpoint.

, TO the Editor Of the State Journal
As there is little probability that the
proposed parley between the Legislative
committee on state finances and the bond.
holders of the coupon bonds will result in
anything satisfactory to either party, and as
the question is omphatically the question Of
the day for the people of Virginia, / ask in
diligence to offer brief suggestion as to
what may be considered an equitable solu-
ton of the difficulty. Official statements
present the following facts as to the char
acter and amount of indebtedness created
by and subject to provisions of the fund
ing bill of 1871.
Old debt principal ..............$29, LOG, JOB
Interest thereon to July !, ~ 1927 POI
"A, 363, 304
Suspended one-third .......... 14,7S7 ,76S
New funded, bearing interest 20, $40 $3.50
At 6 per cent accrued interest 1,746,366
Assumed market value Of debt at the
most liberal estimate is:
s29, 575, $3.50 at 60 per cent, or ST., 745, 1921
4,7S7, 76S at Is per cent, or 2.21S, 165
The first amount represents debt as to
payment of interest (simple), upon which
no person suggests question, but by the
now-regretted legislation of the last Gem
eral Assembly it has been placed in a
form of obligation which is unpopular, be-
cause unjust and oppressive,i. e., the cou-
pom feature.
If the holders of these bonds are wise
and considerate of their own interest, they
would not demur to surrender them at 60
per cent. in exchange for per cent. bonds
representing the go per cent, amounting to
Sl7,745, 321 the annual interest upon
which would be 1897 ,092, and as to
which no taxpayers would complain.
q The second amount represents a debt
which, being itself interest, is not legally
nor lin the condition the people of Virginia
consequent upon the war; equltably entitled
to interest.
True, the difference between the face and
assumed market value Of this amount,
representing, as it does, a loss of IS per
cent. upon the unpaid accrued interest, is
perhaps startling to many; but taking in
to consideration that large amount of
interest has been paid since 1865, the
rates Of loss is no greater than that to
which nine-tenths of the taxpayers in
Virginia have been subjected upon their
real and personal property: For the sum
Of $2,2lS,l65 issue certificates of 800
each, bearing no interest, but reduceable
within five years (or at the rate of $443 ,633
per annum) by annual drawings of num-
bers corresponding with those on the
