DIVORCE scoURGE WORSE THAN

There is social scourge more

These mills, like the mills of the gods,

Husband and wife are separted on the

sufficiently accommodating in this re-

DIFFERENCE IN BOND ISSUES

There is an important difference DC
tween the proposed Library bond
issue and the $4,000 bonI issue
voted II years ago which win fail due
In 1914 1t lies in the fact that pro-
vision Is made In the former case to
pay both principal and interest by a
very small tax extending over q per
iod Of fifteen years.
The case of. the $4,000 bond ISSUE
presents tabont as unbuslness-lIKe !
state of things as can well he imag-
ined--as striking an instance or gross
and persistent officia: neglect as is
recorded, to say nothing of Q
seeming violation of the state cos
stitution, which declares that no issue
Of bonds shall be made without pre-,
piding by ordinance for the payment
OF both principal and interest within
a period of 20 years.
The great wrong to the tax payers
consists in forcing them to pay inter.
est amounting to $74,200 at the end
OF the 2o-year period, without having
reduced the principal one cent.
I several efforts were made under
former city administrations to pro.
vide a sinking fund by levying a spc-
cial tax which would yield the sum
that will be needed in 1914 to take
up the bonds; but they came to
nothing, and in late years the matter
has never been given the slightest
attention The result is that when
the bonds fall due three years hence,
the people will be called upon to
vote a new issue OF $4,000 to take
up the present bonds, and pay an
other $4,000 interest on them-mak-
ing total of $21O,4OO which they
will have been compelled to pay In
order to rid themselves OF debt of
$4,000.
1t is not in order to criticise the
issuing OF the bonds, for 1t was neces.
sary and wise and honest to DO so.
1t Is not wrong to issue bonds or vote
debit when 1t lis necessary to make
the city what it should be as a
business and residence place. Cairo
is far behind other cities In many
respects. and she must catch up, ana
her citizens have got to foot the bills
II they want their city to prosper.
But the people should be given tleir
moneys worth in all cases, and they
have a right to look to their servants

palpable mismanagement of their az
fairs as is disclosed in the case here
referred to-.
