This is the present status OF Virginia's
credit under the boosted and pampered
Funding Coupon law. That law is dis
grace to the State and her people and an
outrage upon her creditors, and will remain
disgrace until it is wiped out and a new
and equitable readiustment of the debt ques-
ton is accomplished! The State courts and
the Supreme Court of the United States may
decide the question in any of its phases as
they please, but one thing is fundamentally
certain-and which no court or lawyer viii
dispute that all OF the courts in
the country combined cannot levy or collect
taxes to pay the debt! They may call in
the State and national military, and still
they cannot levy or collect taxes. Ii wise
men can't see and act Oh this fact, and ae-
cept the Bocock bill of the last Legislature.
