Of its size In our imperial common
wealth. 1t contains many notable

also for that matter-but among nj
world Of houses the Hardin house is
In some respects the most unique and
notable; the most notable for illus
tratlon because it is the Oldest, the
Methuselah among its contemporaries.
Il is not only the Oldest brick house
in Columbia, but the oldest of any
sort, and probably the Oldest in the
county. This is not saying IL is the
first house ever built either In town
or the county, but simply the Oldest
now standing.
1t was erected by Charles Hardin In
1921, the year Columbia was estab-
lished, and is yet standing in a good
state Of preservation and occupied by
Joseph Zumsteg, wife and three small
children, renting the two front rooms
to University Students as sleeping
rooms. Mr.. Zumsteg is an employe at
the University power house.

SCHOOL FUND AMENnMENT

liz Ntvot-DthVCf0t says Audt tAtS
proposed Constitutional amendment
authorizing an extension of the sys-
TEN Of school certificates Is submitted
to remedy the unconstitutional
faint involved in then issue. The
Globs knows that this statement is
not true.
The Constitutional amendment is
submitted solely for the reason that
there is a provision in the existing
Constitution which requires that
there be set apart annually for the
sinking fund to redeem bonds mot
less than s25O,0OO."
The school certificates are a part Of
the public debt. Therefore, when the
bonds shall have been fully paid,
which viii be during the coming year
this Constitutional provision, unless
amended, will apply to the school
certificates and require at least $780,
900 of them to be paid every year.
There are just two ways Of dealing
with this question under the Consti'
tuition, and only two:
First-The adoption of the proposed
Constitutional amendment, under
which payment will not be required.
This will continue the policy, which
has been maintained during the last
thirty years.
Second-If this amendment is not
adopted the State must pay the Ger
~tificates and invest the proceeds In
bonds of the United States, because
another provision of the Constitution
says that school funds shall be in
vested in bonds Of the State Of Mis-
souri, or OF the United States"
The certificates being, in law, bond
Of the State, they are subject to tn
provision Of the Constitution, hereto
fore quoted, which viii require a
least s250,0O0 Of them to be paid ever.
year after the extinguishment Of tn
bonded debt proper. These havinI
been paid, there will be, under tn
Constitution, but n way Of invest
ing their proceeds, and that is il
bonds of the United States.
The whole question is, therefore
sup to the people, II they desire t
continue the existing system, the
can do so by voting for the propose
amendment. II they desire to pay Of
the certificates and invest the prc
ceeds in United States bonds, the
they should vote down the propose
amendment
The investment Of our school fund
In bonds Of the United States wi
not yield an income 10 exceed 2 pc
cent annually, and the bonds must b
purchased at a premium equal to a
least four years interest. The los
