that the traveller may order from the most
complete menu, and yet pay for nothing he

Schno Fund Amendment.

School Fund Amendment.
The Globe-D Democrat says mat the
proposed constitutional amendment
authorizing an extension Of the system
Of school certificates is submitted to
remedy the unconstitutional faint
involved in their issue. The Globe
knows that this statement is untrue,
says the Republic.
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,OOO."
The school certificates are a part OF
the public debt, Therefore, when the
bonds shall have been fully paid,
which will be during the coming year,
this constitutional provision, unless
amended, will apply to the school GER
~tificateS and require at least $4,000
Of them to be paid every year.
There are just two ways Of dealing
with this question under the conStitu-
ton, and only two:
FrSt-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 the school funds "shall be
invested in bonds of the state of Mis-
souri, or of the United States"
The certificates being, in law, bonds
Of the state, they are subject to the
provision of the constitution, hereto
fore quoted, which will require at
least $3.50, 900 of them to be paid
every year after the extinguishment
of the bonded debt proper. These
having been paid, there will be, under
the constitution, but one way Of in
yesting their proceeds, and that is in
bonds of the United States.
The whole question is, therefore,
"up to the people" II they desire to
continue the existing system, they
can do so by voting for the proposed
amendment. II they desire to pay of
the certificates and invest the proceeds
in United States bonds, then they
should vote down the proposed amend.
ment.
The investment of our school funds
in bonds Of the United States will not
yield an income to exceed . per cent
annually, and the bonds must be pur
chased at a premium equal to at least
four years interest. The loss, there.
fore, to the schools must be made NJ
by local taxation.
To present the issue in the briefes'
possible form-the defeat Of the pro
posed amendment means the continue
ton of the present tax rate of II
cents on the 800 until the certificate
are paid, and the investment of thei
proceeds in bonds Of the United State
at an annual loss to the state schoo
funds of fully $4,000.
If the amendment is adopted, i
means an immediate reduction in tn,
rate of state taxation from 10 cent
on the 800 to not more than 3 cent
on the 800, no increase in local tax
alton, and no decrease in the amour
annually apportioned to maintain tn,
schools.
The question is sup to the people.
