which contained gold bond provisions and
other things that would not have got
ten through with a whole hide if they
had been detected.
The first debate of the day came about
over the bill of Senator Daniels to pro-
vide Il permanent school fund.
Senator Hicks said he had found that
the bonds had been bought to create
q sinking fund to meet the State debt and
did not think it should be applied to any
other use.
Senator Daniels said he had been in
formed by the Treasurer that the bonds
were not held in trust for any purpose.
Senator Justice said it was only a
question of time until some Legislature
would appropriate the bonds TO some
purpose and the school fund was the
best place for them.
Senator Travis thought there should be
more light on the subject before action
was taken.
Senator Osborne said the bonds We're
purchased under the terms of settlement
of the Swazer suit.
The bill was referred TO a special com

Hicks and Travis TO examine and re-
port.
