The Bond Issues and the Results.

On Tuesday, March 4, there was
held a special election at which
there was submitted to the qualified
taxpayers nine propositions for the
issue of bonds totaling S350,0OO. OF
all the nine propositions only four
! received a majority in the number
of votes and of taxable valuations
The propositions defeated en-
braced the proposed purchase of the
Schumpert Park and the Schumpert
| home place and improvements to
the Fair grounds, providing an issue
of $4,000 in bonds.
The defeat Of this proposition was
unexpected by the directors Of the
State Fair Association, but it should
not be viewed as discredit. The
majority in numbers approved the
proposition, while the majority OF
taxable valuation was decidedly
against.
The opposition was suggested on
the basis that the association has a
lease of the Schumpert Park for
twenty-five years, that the price for
the tract is excessive, and that by
waiting until the end of the lease
the city would be in a better posi-
ton to buy than now, even if a
greater price would have to be paid
One of the incentives on the part
of the directors was that by acqulr-
ing the home tract full front of
the Fair grounds would face the
Greenwood road, and, besides, there
had been planned Improvements
whereby the Traction Company
would operate its service during the
progress of the Fair from the
Greenwood road into the Fair
grounds.
1t may be surprising to say that
several citizens known to the Cau-
casian were antagonized against the
Fair by the connection of the Trac-
ton Company with the planned pro-
grammed, which contemplated the
double tracking of the Greenwood
road to the Fair grounds gate.
In sense this mishap is not Sc
rious, and while the proposed bond
issue has miscarried, the tract de-
sired has been secured by it's pur-
chase by the city, on which there
has been advanced $500 as a first
payment. How the balance is to be
liquidated is proposition which is
to be determined later.
The defeated propositions are the
issue of $500 for the paving of
Line avenue from Louisiana street
to Marshall, also $1,000 for paving
Wall street, the $4,000 market and
the $4,000 for street surfacing.
The approved issues are for pur-
chasing Cross lake 1900; connect
ing parish roads $4,000; construct
ing storm sewers $4,000; crawling
suburban street $4,000, aggregating
SiOf 500.
There was some opposition to the
for graveling suburban
streets, but the citizens interested
were active in their canvass. The
argument against the crawling of
the suburban streets was that it
would be waste of money, but a
more conservative view must favor
this crawling proposition. 1t may
be true that 1.-THE gravel will wear
out" in time, but many of the
streets paved with asphalt and Bit
ulithic indicate considerable
wear out" although these have not
been in use many years.

URGES BUDGETPLAN
PRESIDENT TAFT IN SPECIAL
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS SETS
FORTH ITS ADVANTAGE.
is BASED ON COMMON SENSE
Bureau Of Central Administrative Con-
troll and Congressional Budget
Committees Recommended by the
Chief Executive In Document.

Washington, Feb. 27.-President Taft
on Wednesday submitted to the house
and senate a message which included
a concise statement of financial condi-
ton and budget system.
The fact that ours Is the only
great nation whose government Is do
Ing business without budget" said
the president, has not been a domi
nant reason for departure from 1913
years of precedent. Such procedure
Is based on common experience and
common sense. 1t is supported by the
best judgment and experience that has
obtained in the management Of cor
porate bodies. both public and private.
While officers of private corporations
are not ordinarily limited by law In
such manner as to make 1t necessary
for them to act under formal appro-
priations, 1t Is the ordinary method
Of transacting business to have the
president Of corporation lay before
its board at its annual meeting re-
port which Is also made available to
all persons who may be interested; 1t
Is common experience for the presi-
dent, as the responsible head Of the
executive branch, to set forth what
has been done during the past year
and what 1t is proposed that the cor
poration shall do during the next
year; 1t is common experience for the
president as the head of the admins
tration to accompany his proposals
with estimate; 1t Is common expert
ence for the president, as the respon-
sible head OF the executive branch to
get forth what has been done during
the past year and what 1t is proposed
that the corporation shall do during
the next year; 1t is common expert
ence for the president as the head Of
the administration to accompany his
proposals with estimates; 1t Is COM
mon experience for the president as
the head of the executive branch to
submit estimates with recommends
tons as to how proposed expenditures
shall be financed"
First In the list of proposed
changes in law setting forth what leg
islation should be enacted In order to
enable the administration to trans.
act the public business with greater
economy and efficiency Is recommen-
dation for the establishment of bu-
reau of central administrative control,
with controller at the head who
would be responsible to the president
and to congress. Concretely the pro-
posal is to consolidate the six audi
tors Offices as well as the office Of the
comptroller of the treasury and the
other central accounting Offices Of the
government in one executive bureau.
while 1t Is with much hesitation
that / suggest any change In COM
mittee organization In congress, 1t
seems to me to be highly desirable to
have some provision such as has been
frequently suggested by mehbers on
the floor, whereby a budget commit
tee may be established as final clear
ing house through which all the rec
concentrations of the committees hav-
Ing to do with revenues and expendi-
lures shall pass before they take the
form of a definite bill"
