This immense burden..of debt with inter-
est is very potent cause Of the hard
times in this state which produces more
than any other state in the Union and con-
Sc quently should be the most prosperous.
A contemplation of this fact and of the
above figures would seem TO indicate the
necessity of laws being passed prohibiting
the creation of debt by counties beyond a
certain percent of the assessed valuation,
as is the case with cities. 1t will be a
long time before this vast debt will be
paid and taxes reduced The funding law
will however assist in placing the debts
where they can be carried without serious
