North YAKIMA, Wash, Oct 27.-To
the Editor of THE HERALD: notice in
your last issue that you state that you
have an article on the proposed action of
bonding the county, and feeling that
some misunderstandings exist. desire to
make few statements in regard to the
matter. The fact that seems to escape
the attention of many is that no addi
tional indebtedness will be created. The
proposal is submitted in the manner
chosen for the reason that the bonds will
have to be issued before the warrants are

THE BONDING PROPOSITION.
rant Indebtedness Funded-Two Statements
of the Question.

PRossER, Wash, Oct. 23.-To the Ed.
itor Of THE HERALD.-In 1901 and each
year thereafter the board of county COM
mssioners must levy a tax to pay off the
issue Of $4,000 bonds due in 1912, for
said bonds must be paid in ten years.
That will require yearly payments Of
$500 besides interest, and levy OF 2
mills will be required at the present as
sessed valuation of property. These
bonds must be paid, whether new bonds
are issued or not. In 1907 levy OF
mills will have to be made to pay off the
$4,000 bonds due in 1918. There are
now about $4,000 of old warrants out
standing which bear per cent. interest
after deducting cash on hand to apply on
Indebtedness, and also accrued interest
on above warrants amounting to about
$4,000, or a total Of 100000. A levy will
have to be made to redeem some OF these
warrants. Letters have been received
from warrant holders stating that they
wanted their money, and they can COM
pei the board OF county com nissioners
to make a levy OF five mills for that pur.
pose. But perhaps if levy of mills
were made each year the holders would
be satisfied. That, however, would mean
an increase in the tax levy of mills I'M
til 1907, and mills thereafter until such
time as the outstanding warrants are all
redeemed, which would be in 1910. BY
issuing 1000 in bonds and paying of
warrants and accrued interest post
ement will be secured for some time
OF making an additional levy, unless it
be for the payment Of $2400 yearly inter-
est on the bonds.
After reading the statement published
in regard to the interest saved by bond
ing, am unable to agree with that part
of the statement, and will state the inter-
est proposition as it appears to me. In
view of the fact that it is either bond or
increase the levy to pay warrants out
standing next year, it was thought best
to leave the matter to vote OF the tax.
payers at the coming election. A vote
for bonds means that you want less than
a p mill tax; vote against bonds
means that you would rather pay off the
warrants beginning next year. If the
county were to issue $4,000 in per cent
bonds and commence to redeem them at
once, stated mathematically, the facts
would be these: 1t would take $4,000
per year with interest to pay off the
bonds in ten years:

and which committee was composed OF
Captain George w. Kidd, Prof. C. W..
Welsh with myself as chairman. met last
evening to consider the articles and to
award the prize. The task given us,
though a labor of love 10 each, was found
TO be as near the impossible as any Of us
had ever before been asked to accom-
plish. With so many papers as were
handed IN and such an unusual number
of very high merit, it made a decision
IN favor OF any one seem unjust to each
OF the others. We finally decided that the
article written by Judge l.. S Fawcett
Of Houston. though containing much mat
ter that seemed irrelevant, yet, on the
whole, was worthy OF the prize and so
awarded H. The articles of o. p. Findley
Of Houston, J. 6. Hardwick OF Elkhart,
James Fitzgerald OF Millicau and A. w.
Folsom OF Waco were voted worthy of
honorable mention, and had your commit
tee had authority to have done so, we
would have voted a special prize to zach.
Each one Of the articles had merit OF
their own and reflected much credit on
tho gentlemen who wrote them.

tional matter on a subject Of such vital
Importance 10 each and every citizen q
