State Debt Must Be
Refunded, Of Course,
Says GoVernOr-E Elect
Georgia Bonds Fine Investment,
So Little Trouble Should
Be Experienced,

There Is no question Of what Is to be
done about the state debt, which falls
due in 1915" said John NJ. Slaton, gov
ernor-eIect. to-day. THE debt, Of
course, must be refunded. The only
matters to be arranged are the details,
such as the terms, and the term of
years Of the bonds.
There ought to be no trouble about
the floating OF the issue. The credit of
the state of Georgia Ought to be the
best OF any state in the Union. Georgia
always has met its obligations on the
minute, and has pledged the entire
public property of the state to payment
Of its bonded debt. The railroad alone
Is worth many times the state debt, and
under the law the bonded debt can not
be increased.
"A legislative committee, acting in
conjunction with the governor and the
state treasurer, ought to be able easily
to arrange the date of the issue, the
rate Of interest, and all necessary de-
tails The bonds should run a sufficient
number Of years to make them an at
tractive investment, and for the sink
ing fund to liquidate them at maturity"
Atlanta bankers say bonds of the
state are an unusually favored invest
ment and that an issue Of So, 10000 can
be absorbed right in, the state.
