TO INCREASE 1RE STATE ogBr.

Senator Joe Terrell introduced a
bill in the senate last week that is Of
much interest.
1t provides that the constitution oe
50 amended chat the bonded debt of
the state may be increased 5000
annually for ten years, commencing in
1892, the money thus raised to he
used exclusively in pay n pensions
50 disabled soldiers and for the SUP,
port of the common schools.
His argument in favor of the bin
is as follows:
This generation has built and fur
nished capitol at an expense Of over
one million dollars which will serve
future generations, aud is paying pen,
sions to disabled soldiers and Widows
and best les special taxes is now appro.
priatiag $500, 600 annually from
property tax 10 the support o. common
schools. The next generation will
have very few, it any, pensions to pay,
and will reap the benefit Of the money
appropriated to common schools, hence
it seems nothing but right to lit a
portion Of the burden On this genera>
ton and transfer it to the next.
The adoption OF this amendment
will reduce the rate oftaxation Tor the
next ten years at least 81 Is on
$1,000, and if anything like the same
ratio ofiaere3se in taxable property
is had Cor the next ten years that we
have had for the past ten years, the
bonds Can be met without aay per
ceptible increase in the tax rate.
another argument in favor OF the
amendment is the low rate at which
the state can borrow money aud the
high rate which the taxpayer has to
pay. For instance, the state can
easily float these bonds Tor 4 per cent,
and the citizen will have to pay from
Sto y per cent for the money to pay
his taxes"
