NO MOI Ei TO PAY INTEREST
FOR THIS PURPOSE $4,000 NEEDED
BY THE STATE.
Governor Brewer Requests Legislators to
Authorize Him to Borrow Amount
With Which to Pay States
Obligation.

JacksoO-Goyernor Brewer has mailed
the following self-cxplanatory letter to
all members of the recent Legislature.
AT your last session the following act
was passed, found on puge 40, Acts Of
1912, which reads "a follows:
"'>r,tiou T. BE it enacted by the
Legislature OF the state Of Mississippi,
That there be-, and is hereby, a]ppropri.
atrd out Of any money in the Statg
treasury, not otherwise appropriated, ak
hundred and ten thousand five hundred
t$6Io,joo,ool dollars, payable on or be-
tore January 10, 1914. This a]ppropria.
tion shalt be used exclusively for the
purpose OF rcpaying any money borrowed
by the governor and all accrued interest
thereon, under the provisions of House
Bill No. ISIS, entitled An act to raise
revenue to carry on the state government
of Mississippi for the years 1912 and
MA"
carrying out the purpose of this act,
on June : last, | made arrangements
with B">tun capitalists to borrow the six
hundred Thousand dollars at a rate OF
4 ~ per cont, per annum interest, and
'ho amount was turned into the state
treasury by me, and | delivered notes
for this amount to the parties making
the loan.
you will note by reference to the
act above quoted that only $t0,5O0.00
was appropriated for interest for the
amount borrowed this year. Interest on
the $500, O0O,0u at the rate of 4 IL per
cent. per nnnum, for seven month";,
which Is the time the money will be-
used before being repaid under the pro.
visions OF the act, amounts to R~i5,750.00,
and there is u difference between this
and the amount actually appropriated
for the interest Of &5,2a0.00. The amount
appropriated for the sun | may borrow
Tor next year is about sufficient, | do
know how this mistake in approprt
ating necessary interest occurred, but |
feel sure you will agree with me that
we should not have any default In the
interest, az it would seriously impair the
states credit. The money WAS bor
r0wed at q much lower rate than |
was offered by any parties in this state,
where / made all efforts to obtain il,
the cheapest offer being about 5 IL per
cent,
81 o write to ask that you aign
the coupon hereto attached authorizing
me to borrow $5,250.0O with which to
pay the interest, being difference be-
tween amount actually needed and The
amount Appropriated. II you will do thIs
at once | will greatly appreciate it."

FIGHT PRIVILEGE TAX.
More Bills in Chancery Against Law
Aimed at Big Land Owners.

Jackson. - Two additional bills in
chancery with a view to testing the le,
gality and constitutiOnality Of the act
of the Mississippi legislature of 1912
to levy and enforce payment Of an an
nual privilege tax or occupation fee on
holders on large tracts Of timber land,
have just been filed in the chahtery
court Of Kinds county,
The point is made in the bill that the
constitution provides that such meas,
urGs as that controyerted are required
to have passed both branches of the legis,
hture three full days before final ad,
journment and before approval by the
governor.
The actual physical facts are that the
measure was rushed through both houses
on the last day Of the session, while the
clocks were juggIed with in order to
show on the Journals that the statutory
time had elapsed.
Four or FIVE cases precisely similar in
terms and facts have already been de-
cided unconstitutional by the chancellor
and are now pending on the civil docket
of the supreme court,

There were handshaking and caresses OF
