Inasmuch as it has been suggest
ed that the item of interest on pro-
posed issue OF County Road Bonds
could be reduced to negligible guam
tity by providing a sinking fund on
which the banks would pay interest
to the county, it might be of interest
to some of your readers to show ac-
tual results under such a plan
Let us assume that the county is
sues $500, 600 of 80 year road bonds
bearing per cent and provides for
sinking fund of 10000 per annum
with which to retire the bonds at
the end of thirty years Let us as
sumo that banks can be found which
will pay the county 1 per cent on this
sinking fund throughout the thirty
years. Under such plan the amount
to be raised by taxation the first
year would be $4,000 for sinking
fund and $4,000 for interest on
bonds, total $4,000. The second
year the county would receive $500
interest from the banks on the ten
! thousand dollar sinking fund collect
ed the first year. SO the amount to
| be raised by taxation the second year
would be $2S.000 less $500. g. $27,
500. The amount to be m ed by
taxation would continue TO O. crease
an additional $500 each year The
3rd year the tax would be s 6,4O0
adding he items for each year for
the thirty years we have a grand
total of $66O,000 which the county
would pay out on her 100000
bonds.
$266,000 interest is not very in
significant is it?
After having lived in several Sou
! thern states l am convinced that the

minute is buckling down to hard


Just at this time the Tariff is
causing the most of the hard work.
Those who want Office also requir-
ing attention. Senators and Cong
ressmen are anxious to do all they
can for those who want office, and
their only regret is their inability
| to do much When the weightier
matters of the Tariff and Curren-
cy are disposed of the hope is that
the Civil Service fraud will be given
shake-up. In the Census office
| four hundred men are employed and
/ of these not as many as forty are
Democrats There are twice as many
negroes in the Census Office as there
are Democrats.
BY the way, they are getting af-
ter the negro question in the De-
partments. A movement is on foot
to segregate the negro employees
and to stop the present system of
having whites and blacks work side
by side. If the Democrats could
stay in power for two or three terms
something might be accomplished
but it will take an aggressive fight
to produce results.
When | see how the negro is
treated in Washington | am aston
ished at the way the Californians
feel toward the Japanese. For my
part, | think no foreigner should be
allowed to hold real estate in the
United States. Our citizens ought to
own our land.
But what do we see? The Japs
as a race are superior to the negroes.
They have great government,
which the negro race has never had
and never will have without help
from the white man. The negro
was but recently savage and slave.
Yet we make him a citizen, a land
owner and an officeholder. In the
Capitol of our country he buys
choice real estate, swings a billy on
the police force, gives orders to
white women in the Departments
and is the boss of white men in many
instances. Now, in the face of that,
the Japanese, who are a brave,
proud and progressive people have a
right to ask why we consider them
below the negro.
l have said before that conditions
in Washington are a disgrace to the
people of the United States and if
things here cannot be Strengthened
out l for one don't feel like finding
fault with the Japanese when they
object to being placed on a plane
below the negroes.
