18th, the State treasurer Will
again open bids for the bonds on
June 10th, and as special efforts
are being put forth to secure
sales of the bonds, it is possible
that the remainder of the issue
may be disposed of on June 10th,
and if so, the Governor will, of
course, promptly recall his pro-
clamation for the extra session.
But for manifest reasons, owing
to the pressing emergency and
the Importance of the matter to
the State, the Governor could
not with prudence delay his call
for the extra session.
The Legislative can do only
one thing, it seems, and that is
to authorize the Treasurer to Dor
row sufficient money to meet the
obligations due on July LIST, as
the suggestion to increase the
rate of interest Is impracticable
in view of the fact that there is
not sufficient time to engrave
and dispose of new bonds, and it
would not be wise as it is gener-
ally thought the stringency which
has depressed the price of securi-
ties is only temporary and it
would in that case be unwise to
saddle upon the people, a long
time issue at a greater interest
rate when by borrowing for a
short time say twelve months,
the State can probably dispose
of her four per cent issue before
the loan would expire.
Should the Legislature author
lie a loan it should also authorize
the State Treasurer to dispose of
the bonds privately until the
next Legislature meets as many
think a private sale would result
in a practical exchange of new
bonds for those maturing July
1st. In fact such exchange
ought now to be authorized in
the discretion of the Treasurer.
However, all these matters are
for the wisdom of the General
Assembly when it meets and the
above suggestions are made
merely as a basis of consideration
of the matter and we feel sure
that the General Assembly will
appreciate suggestions from all
parties.
Whilst the Treasurer has no
authority to exchange for the
old bonds yet holders of these
bonds can make their bids and
use their old bonds in payment
on July LIST, but all old bonds to
be used in this way should be
sent to the Treasurer or to some
local bank before their maturity.

State Treasurer

four per cent interest, would

so certain was it that a State
bond would find a ready market
that some members of the legis-

upon offering a three and one

claimed. and were advised, could
be foated at par.

a four per cent basis.
Since then the general financial
situation has changed materially
and both State and city four per
cent bonds have failed to find
purchasers
On the 10Th of May, 1910, the
city of Philadelphia, whose bonds
usually find ready sale, offered
So, 600, 600, running thirty years,
bearing four per cent, but receiv-
ed bids for only $500. 600.
The city of Baltimore, on the
10th of May, 1910, offered
So. 400, 600 fifty year four per
cent bonds and failed to receive
bids for them.
In 1909 the State of New York
sold $40, 600, 900, three's, on a
2.95 basis, while this year they
sold tours on a 3.76 basis.
The State of Maryland last
year sold three and one-half per
cent bonds on a 3.45 basis, this
year on a basis of 4.13
The city of New York, in
December, 1909, sold fifty year
four per cent bonds on a 1893
basis whilst in March o. this
year they could sell four and a
quarter per cent bonds only on a
A. Is basis.
Again, the city of Seattle, in
January, 1910, sold four's on a
3.87 basis, whilst last month
their five per cent bonds sold on
a ACT basis.
When it is remembered that
the bonds mentioned above are
available for investment by the
savings banks of New York, and
in many cases are exempt from
taxation, it can readily be under
stood why our own State bonds,
| which in large amounts have al
ways had to depend on a general
market, could not find purchas-
ers abroad, where bonds equally
as good were being bought on a
larger income basis.
It is evident, from the bids re-
] ceived, that but for the tax ex-
emption clause our sales would
have been much smaller. With
this exemption, however I'M
questioned, it. having been set
tied by a recent decision of our
Supreme court, these bonds be-
come most desirable for our
banks and corporations, and the
remaining bonds of this issue
ought to be readily disposed of
at or above par.
The fact that North Carolina
has received bids at and above
par for over 81, 200, 600 of her
four per cent bonds of the issue
authorized last year, speaks well
for the credit of the State-es-
pecially when the Carlisle com
mittee has been engaged in a
slanderous and malicious cam
Epaign to damage our credit and
prevent the sale of our bonds.

called in extra session for June
