THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Picayune of Tuesday has the
following in regard to the scheme
submitted by the State Administra-
ton for refunding the State debt:
The great work before the convention is
the reiunding of the bonded debt Of the
state and an ordinance TO become a part
of the Constitution, il adopted, was
promptly introduced. This ordinance is
admitted TO represent the views of the adj
ministration and of the financial people
who have been called in consultation on
thisHmOst important matter. The ordi-
nance provides for the issue of a fifty-year
serial bond, to bear interest at no greater
rate than 4 l-2 per cent, the total issue
principal OF the bonds to be no greater
than sufficient to retire the outstanding
bonds, maturing Jan. L, 1914. Ii is also
provided that the Board OF Liquidation
Of the State Debt be also empowered, in
its discretion, TO issue short-term notes
not to extend over longer period than
two years and to bear rate OF interest
not to exceed per cent, should such a
proceeding become necessary to prompt
ly retire the outstanding bonds when
they mature.
increased, but the ordinance provides
for the setting aside annually from the
taxes a sufficient sum to pay the interest
on the outstanding bonds or notes, and
after the fifty-year bonds are issued a
sinking fund is to be created with which
the serial bonds are to be retired from
time to time, as they mature, and if any
surplus remains other bonds are to be re-
tired, the long-teIm bonds to be retired
first.
The ordinance gives the Board of Liqui-
dation OF the State Debt wide discretion
aslto details, the method of disposing OF
the bonds or notes and all other matters
connected with the bonded debt. The
ordinance, as a whole, appears to meet
the needs Of the situation admirably, with
one possible exception that the limit OF
interest placed on the short-term notes,
. per cent, may not prove high enough
TO attract investors in the big financial
centers, should money rates continue al
stringent as they have been in the recent
past.
AS we understand from the press
dispatches, the Pieayune is mistaken
in Its statement that there will bt
no increase in the rate of State tax.
alton involved in carrying out this
pan. While the rate now author
lied by the Constitution, viz:
mills, is not to be increased, the
present levy of 5 mills, is to be in.
creased for the purpose of meeting
the increased rate of interest which
the new bonds will bear and for the
creation of a sinking fund.
While it.may be that the Admin.
istration's plan is the only one prac.
ticable, we think it justifiable only
on that ground. If there is to bt
any increase in the rate of State
taxation, the avails of that increase
should be devoted to enlargement o.
the State institutions, notably the
Insane Asylums, and let the priu.
cipal of the State debt be cared fol
at some time later when the States
resources and finances are in bettel
shape. 1t is better to let posterity
share in payment of the principal
OF the debt and devote our present
l resources to the crying needs Of
today.

On Saturday evening Little Edward

OF his sweet young life, at the home OF
bis grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. W.
Wilson, whom he is visiting. The little
guests had a happy time in these, the
golden days of their lives, where every
thing is bright-hued. On this occasion
the decorations were in Hallowe'e en- effect,
and the dining room was picturesque.
The table was lace-covered, and on the
rejecting center piece was silver can
delabla surrounded by bank of cos
mos, outlined with red saliva. Through
out the tables were number of silver
holdes with the candles set in orange
colo ed iringesand dozens OF crystal vases
with Che yellow cosmos, making it appear
as flower garden. At each place were
place cards and Jack 0'Lanterns with
lighted can6les. At the head OF the table
sat the manly little host, and he realized
his dignity. The bilthGay cake bore the
symbol of his few years and his name

WANAMAKER PAYS THE
 GOVERNMENT $1o0, 900.
Estimated Amount of Which It Was
 Defrauded on Imports.

Washington, March 11.-John Wana- maker, the Philadelphia and New York merchant, has paid to the government $1000oO to settle sums which the treasury had been defrauded during the last 15 years through irregula | practices in the importation of mer- chandise.
 Treasury agents working up the in- vestigation were confronted with the difficulty of finding records for the en- tire time involved, but upon the rec ords of five years the governments; :; losses were approximated and a settle ment voluntarily offered by MT. Wana- maker was accepted as covering the entire period over which the practices extended.
 It was found that 1t had been the practice Of the customs examiner at Philadelphia to pass samples at no value or an intrinsic one. While the amount in each case was negligible compared with the volume of i'm portations, in a. period of years it amounted to considerable sum.
 At the treasury department it was said today that no intent to defraud the customs had been shown and MT Wanamaker o-operated in-A every way with the treasury officials to reach an estimate of the governmen ent's loss.
