THE BOND ISSUE.

=" o"a iSo"o Va yOSpcAuoy w
mentioned six objections whicl
have been urged in opposition t
the issuance of a million dollars O.
bonds to raise money with which
to build school houses, and we at
tempted to answer one Of these
objections, namely, that the bono
issue is an administration measure
Another objection that several
papers are making much ado over
is that the bonds are not subject to
taxation, and that this means an
easy thing for the banks that will
buy them
We take it that the bonds were
made n.assessable because this
feature would induce buyers to pay
a large price for them, thereby in
suring more money for the schools.
As to the argument that is a dis
elimination in favor of the banks,
we fail to see the force Of it. In
the first place the bonds will be
sold to the highest bidders, and
any individual who wants some Of
them and has the money to pay for
them can enter the market and buy
them on an equal footing with the
banks, and they will be non assess
able in his bands the same as they
will be in the hands of the bank
In the second place the bonds in
the hands of bank non taxable in
theory and not really so in practice
We do not own any banks aud are
not intimately conversant with
their manner of doing business,
hnt it is orr impression that banks
do not buy bonds for the sole pur-
pose of realizing the interest on
them, but they are used as collateral
to raise money or other value which
goes into the trade OF the country,
and this money is taxable. To i'll.
ustrate, suppose the First National
Bank of Baton Rouge buys $780,
900 of these bonds. They are as
good as money, so the bank places
them with loan company in Wall
street, and borrOws on them $780,
900 in money. This 500, 900 goes
into the business of the bank and
is assessed like other assets of the
bank.
Again, it is said that the people
Are too heavily taxed already and
should not infiict additional burdens
lpon themselves.
In reply to this argument we
would point out that the consti-
ution fixes the rate of State taxes
it six mills; every man who has
pays the State six mills
N the dollar, as provided by the
and the issuance Of
million dollars of bonds will not
n any manner affect this rate.
The rate of taxation will be the
anne as il the bonds had never
'een mentioned. The bill govern
ng the bond issue provides that
he interest, $50, 900 a year shall
'e paid ont of the surplus Of the
interest fund, and we understand
hat this surplus now amounts to
bout 100000 year.
When twenty-five years expire
nd the bonds fall due, the State
7ill pay for them ont Of any avail
BILE funds it may choose to devote
0 this purpose, and it is perfectly
easonable, it seems to us, to pre-
let that the State will be at the
nd of twenty-five years many
lillion dollars richer as the direct
esult Of investing a million dollars
D the brain and heart and energy
+ the youth Of the State. Batox

CHARGES AGAINST sWAYNE.
Judge Is Said to Have Enjoyed Many
CourteSieS

Washington, April 19.-John Wurts, a
professor in the law school of Yale uni
versity, gave testimony today against
Judge Charles Swayne before the sub
committee of the house committee. Judge
Swayne was present and viii cross eX-
anime Prof Wurts tomorrow
AS to Judge Swayne's reputation in
Jacksonville. Prof Wurts said
Judge Swayne's reputation was that of
q Judge who was open to influence and
whose decisions Were governed by other
considerations than the law and the evil
dence."
The witness testified that Judge Swayne
had a private car of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West railroad at his dis
posal for something like two years, dur
ing the receivership of Mason Young.
who was appointed by Judge Swayne.
According to Prof. Wurts, the Florida
Central and Peninsula railroad furnished
Judge Swayne a private car for himself
and party to go to the Pacific slope This
trip caused scandalous talk in Jackson
VILE and the witness said on his return
Judge SwayRe told him that the only
expense the trip had been TO him was the
provisioning of the car.
The appointment Of John King. a young
man without knowledge or training, as
master in chancery in a pending suit in
volving the Florida Southern railway.
was another of the accusation brought
forward by Prof. Wurts against Judge

SYMPTOMS OF PARESIS.
Noted Physician Diagnoses His Own
Case and Retires.

New York. April 19.-Dr. Lorenzo ].
Johnstamm, a traveller, philosopher and
physician of more than local reputation.
is dead here in u hospital for the insane,
-Four years ago he suddenly retired from
q practice yielding thousands of dollars
yearly. He was a member of the medi-
c-l societies of Paris. Vienna. Brussels
and Berlin and his strange action at
tracted considerable attention. Remov
ing with his family to another part Of the
city. the doctor practically disappeared
from the society of even his most init
mate friends Two years later he called
at Bellevue hospital where he desired 10
become a patient. Then he explained his
retirement. Ia 1906. he said. he had no
ticed symptoms Of paresis in himself.
Without informing anyone he began a
careful study of his own case. which.
having confirmed his own suspicious. led
him to relincuish his practice. with
hope that quiet living, exercise and free
dom from all mental effort might II least
retard the ailment. Wis heroic struggle
was in vain and he desired 10 prepare for
