Mr.. THOMPSON of Cass moved to
change the date in the bill from October
LIST to January 1st. He did not believe in
extending the time to October. Did no
think the state could afford it.
MIR. STEVENS wanted to say in the
same line that it was adopting a policy
which placed the poor men, who hold
county orders, at the mercy of bankers and
others who will purchase them at a
great discount. They say the state is in
distress; they say that we must practice
economy. but no one says that the
state must have what it is entitled to. The
state should have is revenue. Its revenue
is its taxes. II you pass this law, one
half of the tWenty-three counties of the
state will be compelled to sell orders at
from fifty to sixty cents on the dollar, and
these orders are nearly all held by poor
men.
