uOHe dHus II so, now z" AS the law now
stands no Board of Supervisors can con-
tract any Indebtedness outside of the in
come provided for the year by taxation,
without consent Of two-thirds Of all the
voters voting at an election called tor the
purpose. This means all the voters of
the county, not those outside of munich
pallties merely. Also, the new County
Government Act provides that such in
debtedness shall not exceed twenty years
in time and that provision shall be made
for taxation to meet the annual interest
and one-twentieth of the principal
through sinking fund each year.
This Act was passed by the last Legis-
lature. But the Constitution, by amend
ment, adopted less than two years ago,
provides that no county indebtedness
shall be made except on the basis Of forty
years time, and taxation to meet interest
annually, and to create sinking fund to
meet one-fortieth of the principal each
year. There is an apparent conflict here
that we are not prepared to pass upon.
The constitutional provision (Sec. Is,
Art XII does not read like a simple linn
itation, but as a mandate. 1t declares
shall run on the basis of forty years. pay
ment of the principal by paying one
fortieth each year.
If the Constitution is construed to be
merely setting forth of the maximum
period for which a county may become
indebted, then the County Government
Act limiting such debts to twenty years is
the dominant law. Upon these points
legal capacity must pass.
AS to the propriety of such action, the
creation of Indebtedness, this is to be
said: that it is never wise to create pub
lie debt, or go into expenditure merely to
give work; but when the public work is
a necessity, any time in which the means
can be commanded without distress to
the community is a good time, and the
policy of prosecuting the work is wise,
more especially when it accomplishes
| also the end of giving employment and
increasing the medium of exchange in
a community.
There is another consideration that is
vital in this matter. Good roads, main
or trunk lines, are of equal concern to all
people, whether residents of towns and
cities, or ofrural sections, and the cost of
such trunk thoroughfares should be
borne by all the people, and not by the
property and residents of road districts
alone. Under such policy the annual
tax for the proposed Indebtedness will be
less per the 500 of assessed values than
| is the road tax at present, by more than
so per cent. So that as an economic
proposition it ought to commend itself to
the people of country sections with great
force.
To state the case more simply-the
residents of country sections in this
county, for instance. pay for Indifferent
and few roads, an annual tax almost
twice what they will have to pay for
irst-class roads, including maintenance,
and five times as many miles of them,
under the new or loan and bond PROPOSE
ton. While there is bitter prejudice
against bonded indebtedness, it ought to
be dissipated when it is demonstrated
that it is 50 per cent. cheaper than direct
taxation.

WARRINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, July II, 1898.

Washington, July II, 1893.
ut is just as we'll" remarked a naval
officer of prominence whose name for
obvious reasons cannot be mentioned,
mot 10 be too fast in ridiculing the report
that Great Britain in preparing to resist
by force the decision of the Behring Sea
arbitration tribunal, if it be against her,
which now seems probable. The decision
is bound to be unsatisfactory, and l Am
sure that many influential people in the
United States would advise the admin
istration not to give up American rights
in Behring Sea, ven if the arbitrators
should sAseide that there were no such
things ~ American rights in that Sea.
The presence of . Russian feet of war
vessels in New York harbor and the an
nouncement that the vessels would re-
main permanently on the Atlantic coast
furnishes good presumptive evidence
that our Government is taking precau-
tons to strengthen its floating fighting
force for. eve If there were no special
alliance in existence between the two
governments, Russia would be our ma
tural ally in case of trouble with En-
gland over Behring Sea matters, and 8
far as Great Britain Ia concerned the
Russian wal vessels in New York harbor
are so many additions to the American
Navy. Understand me, I am not pre-
dieting trouble. Still l should moi call o
man silly who talked Of the probability
Of trouble growing out of the arbitra-
tion."
An attempt is to be made, according
TO silver men now in Washington, to
unite the silver Senators for the pur-
pose OF hitting back at President Cleve-
land by refusing to confirm every one OF
the large number of recent nominations
who to is known be an opponent of silver.
Such a combination might easily be form
cd if there was anything to be gained by it,
but there isn't. It would probably worry
Mr.. Cleveland q little, but he could if 30
disposed keep on nominating the re-
jected men, and as they are already
holding their places they would continue
to draw salaries, Notwithstanding the
rejection Of their nominations by the
Senate. Besides, even il the Senators
succeeded in getting some of them out of
Office that would not be of the slightest
benefit to the silver men,. For that rea-
son your correspondent does not think
such . combination will be made.

Heavy showers occurred during the

while in all the weastern portion of the
