Tax.Receiyable Coupons.

Some persons, it seems to US very lncon-
siderately, object to giving taX-recelvable
coupon bonds by the State for or per
cent. interest. To see how invalid the OBJ
lection is, let us consider what q tax-re-
ceiyabie coupon is. The State, for ex"
ample, issues its bond, payable forty
FIVE years after date for $1,000, and at
inches ut the foot Of that bond an oblIga-
ton for each years interest to pay to the
bearer $50 for the interest st 3 per cent.
One OF her citizens becomes owner OF TINS
bond. AS each year rolls around the State
owes him $50 on a coupon for interest, and
he owes the State $50 for his taxes. Ought
not the State to be willing to take in its
coupon obligation for the Interest and give
him receipt In full for his taxes which be
owes her? Suppose A owes B $50 for inter-
est due on a bond. and Is owes A $50 for
COW, what would be thought OF A II he
should refuse to pass receipts with u and
insist that B should pay him in cash for his
COW? Common honesty requires that they
should settle by otfsetting one claim against
the other and passing receipts. And so
common honesty requires that the State
should act in like manner. Now, tax
receivable coupon is nothing but an
obligation OF the State to pay q
certain amount Of interest to the
holder Of the coupon, and II the holder
owes the State taxes, it stipulates TINT the
State will take in this coupon in payment OF
taxes-Will Offset an equal amount OF taxes
against it. This is the whole OF it. But
some say it takes away the sovereignty OF
the State. What nonsense. How is the
sovereignty Of the State affected by do
ing an act OF common honesty! BY
otfsetting q debt due to it against
an equal sum due by it? Where the
States income Is not enough to pay the
interest it owes and its current expenses, 1t
NAV be put to great inconvenience by tax
receivable coupons. But we are now con-
sdering the question in connection with
settlement Of the debt at rate Of interest
which will enable the State TO pay its ex-
penses and meet its interest. Settle the
debt upon this basis, and what incon-
venience even can occur to the State
by giving tax-receivable coupons? Does
not common honesty and mutual con-
venience require the State in such
q case to receive its coupon obligations in
payment Of taxes? How is it possible for
the sovereignty OF the State to be affected
by IL? Besides, these taX-receivable cou-
pons, being payable to bearer, add to the
volume OF currency for the payment OF
taxes TO the extent OF from S900,O00 TO
g, 0O0, 900, and thus serve to loosen the
stringency Of the money market. so
far us occasioned by the scarcity OF cur
rency. And then when we remember that
these tax-receivable coupons are already cut
for per cent.-a much higher rate Of in
terest-and that the proposition IL to issue
new coupons for smaller suDs--how SUI
premely ridiculous does the objection ap-
pear. 1t cannot he that the Legislature win,
upon this frivolous objection, refuse to set
tie the debt, IL it can agree upon the rate o!
interest. - Charlottesville Jefersonian.
