GEORGIA's BONDED DEBT.

With the opening of the new year
the coming Inauguration of Governor
Slaton and the approaching 1913
session of the state legislature Geor-
gia is facing a series of interesting
financial problems, the chief OF
which is the retirement of the 49,
1872 900 of state bonds that will fall
due in 1915.
The most important part of the
governors message will deal with the
states finances, and the approprta-
lions for the next two years, includ-
ing some provision for meeting the
bonds, will be the most important
duty this summer of the general as
sembly.
Georgia's total bonded indebted
ness amounts to $6,S34,202, of which
half, approximately, falls due in
1915. AS the state has only 100000
annual sinking fund to take care OF
the bonded debt some special proyis'
ion will have to be made, and 1t Ii
sued to refund the old issue. There il
a provision in the constitution whicl
says Georgia shall not issue new
bonds to increase the bonded indebt
edness of the state, but it leaves tn
legislature the right in case OF neces
sity to make new issues TO refun
bonds already outstanding.
In addition to this the genera
question of appropriations will be

is expected that the governor wi
urge the legislature to hold dow
the new appropriations at evel
point, and that he will not count
nance new appropriations unless
can be shown where the money
looming from to meet them.

The Washington herald., 1913-11-02

There probably does not exist in any
part of this big world Of ours funnier,
but at the same time a more human an
imaI than Michael. In the way Of intro
duction Mike is the actor dog that Mr..
Oliver Morosco selected for Miss Elso
Ryan's travelling partner for this season
in Peg o. My Heart" the comedy by
J. Hartley Manners.
From the very first day at rehearsals
in New York, Michael showed temper
ament, feelings, poise, and a keen inter-
est to portray his all important part
better than the mere dog that was doing
a like part in the New York company.
The very first thing he did on arriving at
the theater was to walk proudly past
the other Irish terrier that happened to
be chained to his fixed post, where he
wouId always be when the stage man
ager wanted him or when it was his time
TO go on the stage. which is one thing
that Mike decided right there would not
do for him.
Unlike most dogs this dog has gotten
upstairs, so to speak, which in the par
lance of the actor means that he feels
above his surroundings, and especially
other dogs. Mike won't even bark at
them, or deign to notice them, since
he has been selected by the great mana
ger Oliver Morosco himself, and was
brought all the way from Los Angeles in
a private car, with a porter to answer
every dog whim within keeping of a lux
uriant car. Not milk and honey for him.
but real good chicken and real good
steaks would satisfy his expensive appe-
tite now, and an active interest in the
country that the company win pass
through on their route. 1t is true the
dog should have some feelings and a
certain amount Of jealousy about a lead
ing part and the careful portrayal even

taurants, and those he could wrest from
other stray dogs
OF course, this was all before the day
that the dogcatchers started out for all
stray dogs and Mike, who kept much
to himself, did not get the word In
time to dodge their diligent efforts. 90
he was picked up with the aid Of a wire
which was Iooped around his neck. and
the next thing he knew he was not en-
joying his rough journey with many
other stray dogs to the pound.
However, not unlike many other promi-
nent beings who get into trouble, he
felt that there was to be a way out
Of his dilemma, and so there was, for
while en- route to the pound, Mixes ex-
pressive face caught the eye of his pres
ent manager, who happened to be pass
ing IN an automobile and it was only
question of a few hours before Mike
entered into his new life with the upper
set However. II he knew that his value
in the eyes Of the dogcatchers was hm-
tied to a dollar and a quarter, he might
resent the fact.
Like many other stars, the question
OF society has occupied some Of Mixes
time and consideration, and he Is Of the
belief that after he Is allowed to make
his Metropolitan debut in New York that
1t might be within keeping Of his posi-
ton to give all the dogs OF the -four
hundred" a special matinee, arranging
the proper decorations for this august
body, and just in the way of good fell
