NavajO'S Property Roll.

A. J. Gray, who is making the assessment of Navajo county, says the people of Winslow did we'll in giving in their property, and that if the rest of tho county will do as we'll thcre will be S1, ,00O, 900 assess. able property listed in the new county. This in encouraging, but the Mail believes that with fair assessment there is at least mil lton and half of property in this county: If people would look at thls matt IT in the right light, every one would make return of their property at it's actual value, what they would be willing to sell for in hard cash. The rate of taxation would decrease in tire same ratio that :he assessable property in- creased so that in the end their taxes would be no greater.-Mail.

county bonds issued prior to 1898 are
redeemable at the pleasure OF the
counties The total amount Of county
bonds purchased since September l,
1892, is SG20, 26360. The amount of
bonds on hand September l of this year
was, as has been stated, SS.66S, 227js.
II is therefore probable that more than
S9,000.000 of the county bonds now
held by the school fund are redeem
able at the pleasure of the counties,
As tie counties can sell the new bonds
at n premium and save from / to
per cent. interest II IS but reasonable
10 expect that they win rapidly take
advantage Of the opportunity. The re-
cult can be but to pile up unproductive
funds in the state treasury and I'M
poverish the available fund account.
How rapidly this process Will progress
can not now be foreseen. 1t seems
certain, however. that the available
school fund receipts from interest on
county bonds amounting TO about S2S1,
$50 per annuin. now stand in great dan
ger The question Is, what shall be
done to prevent this loss? There Is
but one thing that I can see immed-
lately In sight That Is the pending
amendment to section (. article OF
the constitution, authorizing the in
vestment Of the permanent school fund
in agricultural lands for the benefit
OF the penltentlary system, This
amendment is to he voted on at the
next general election. If It is adopt
ed doubtless the next legislature
would enact a law authorizing a por-
ton Of the funds to be invested in this
way. But this will not provide in-
vestment OF all the funds that may
accumulate by the redemption OF
county bonds. It seems plain there
fore. that It will be unnecessary for
the legislature 10 permit the board 10
| Of interest than per cent, or to pay
premium on 8 per cent. bonds or TO
| authorize the Investment OF the school
| fund In other securities. / may state
| here that / think interest has reviv-
ed in Ex-Governor Hogg's proposition
to invest the school fund in first mort
gage railroad bonds Issued with the
| approval of the railroad commission.
I have heard not few legislators de-
clare that this Investment would prove
| safe and the most profitable.
Others suggest that the law In ref
erence to school districts be changed
| 50 as to make the districts in each
| county coincide with the justice pre-
cincts and authorize these districts
under proper safeguards to issue bonds
| for the building OF school houses and
| provide for the investment Of the per-
manent school funds in these dis
| trict school house bonds. The pres-
| ent superintendent of public instruc-
| ton, / am informed, looks upon this
proposition with favor, yet 1t Is said
that the plan would not meet with
! his appreciation unless such invest
ment could be made certainly safe.
Whether or not the difficulties sur

member of the legislature who remain
ed here few days after the solons had
adjourned sine die, and who left this
week for home, told me that he firmly
believed and had good grounds for so
concluding that another extra session
of the Twenty-fourth Legislature would
be necessary and would be called by
Governor Culberson in August of next
year. His idea ia that owing to the
fact that large number of the county
bonds now held by the permanent
school fund, and which would mature
at that time, would be paid Off and
that some Legislation looking to the
Investment of this fund viii be neces-
sary TO prevent 1t from lying lule ana
unproductive.
The Investment and disposition OF
this permanent school fund is getting
to be a grave question to the state. |
