THREE PER CENT.

Why cannot the state deb. be reduced
to per cent? OF course we cannot call
in the present bonds, but we can offer in
ducements by long time bond for the
holders of the present debt to fund it at
lower fate. The state is paying entirely
too much upon it's debt. We find that
cities whose solvency is no better than
that of the states, and should not be bet
ter getting money at far lower rates
than the people of Alabama are now pay
ing The Atlanta Constitution says
while the government of the United
States is borrowing money at interest
varying from 31a to per cent, it is re-
freshing to know that the city of Atlanta
gets what it needs on a straight per
cent basis.
by resolution of the last meeting of
the council the city is authorized to ne
gotiate a loan of 5000 600 from the Lowry
Banking company, the rate agreed upon
being per cent-a remarkably low rate,
and one illustrating not only the excel
lent credit or the city, but speaking vol
umes for the wel-known financial insti-
tuition which offers it to the city.
ATLANTA s credit is rock ribbed and
silt-edged, and if there is another city in
America which can get money at this
rate of interest, at this time, we do not
know of it. Under the direction of the
finance committee of the council, of
which Mr. II. T. Inman is chairman, At
lanta's finances have never been man
aged more satisfactorily than now and
the last per cent loan reflects credit on
all parties interested in its negotiation"
We congratulate Atlanta upon this fine
showing. What that city has done can
be done by the state of Alabama. A re-
duetion of per cent in our rate of inter
est would mean saving to the state
treasury of 100000 a year, sum which
just now is not to be despised

MO PRORATES.

A report comes from Lawrence county
that it would prorate between Johnston
