SCHOOL FUND INTEREST.
Mr.. Illusions bill 5. 29-ses pages 1876 and
1es coming up on the second reading with
pending amendment proposing TO make the
rate of interest per cent
- Mr.. 0VERSTREET: The bill ought not to
pass without this amendment Under the
Constitution no more Than per cent. can
be collected from any counties that may lend
att. Upon principle think per cent. is
fair rage- There are expenses incident
upon making these loans that make it cost
At least per cent. more. IL the people are
relieved from this higher rats % interest IL
csn be supplied by the entire state. To har-
nonize ali feelings IN tbs matter we ought
q TX the rate st per cent. as this amend
ment proposes.
Mr. BROWN: The practical effect of this
bill rill be 10 loan the school fund at per
cent. With the rate NJ :, as proposed by the

loaDiDk the entire school fund; and this
would be relief to a great many counties.

We IN Cass County would have to make up
this difference of ? per cent.
Mr.. JOHNSON. OF Tippecanoe; Seventy
counties can loan the entire fund al per
cent. Only eleven counties recommend the
reduction to Z per cent. and ten TO per
cent This amendment wonid reduce the
school fund in loan ally 1919 per cent.
and the result would be "a must cut down
the terms OF schools or reduce the salaries
of teachers, either of which atten, OF would
be a crime against the children now in this
state and those yet unborn. Do not cripple
the income which sustains the Common
Schools. The Democratic party should bear

system OF Common Schools. I am here to
enter a solemn protest against doing so.
Mr.. MCINTOSH: The committee had this
bill under advisement az two meetings /
am opposed 10 the amendment aud 81 the
bill because ID cnts the rate OF interest down
from TO per cent. There is but one sec
ZION that hxes the rate OF interest on the
school fund. and that Is the very section this
bill would amend q IL passes. Then there
would be no law to hold the counties for 5
per cent
Mr.. WEIR would oppose the bill if il will
reduce the rate OF interest TO per cent.
