owned a newspaper which might some

against the Laughlin bill abolishing the

The resolution of the house ways and
means committee authorizing the treas
urer to issue funding warrants to the
aggregate of 100000, merely provides
for the anticipation Of tax collections, in
case they are so deferred that current
expenses of the state and of the state in
situations cannot DO met. The resolu-
ton is as follows:
The state treasurer, with the advice
and consent of the governor and state
auditor, be hereby authorized and in
structed to negotiate and dispose of state
funding warrants not to exceed 100000
in the aggregate, at such discount as
will allow a reasonable rate of interest,
such Indebtedness to become due and
payable on or before January l, 1901.
The existing conditions are such that
the collection of taxes from the counties
from now until January /, 1900, may not
be sufficient to meet expenses; therefore
this loan is necessary to protect the
credit of the state and of the state in
stitutions.

This leaves the west Missouri country

of the second greatest revenue produc-
