Governor Hooper
Tells Facts In Regard to
Refunding State Debt
an d A Appr owes Action
Taken.

Governor Ben W. Hooper, in
an interview last Saturday, told
the people the main facts about
how the State debt was refund
ed and gave his unqualified ap-
proval to the action taken by the
Funding Board: The Governor
says; The people are entitled
to know all the facts about ev-
cry step taken in connection
with the refunding of the State
debt" In fact, Governor Hoop
er does not seem disposed to
have secrets from the people,
for it will be remembered that
he favored the immunity future
in connection with the back-tax
system, as the means by which
the system of alleged graft could
be exposed to the view of the
people. He tells of the enor-
nifty Of the job of borrowing the
huge sum of 1922, 10000 in the
short space of one week, at q
time when there existed a world
wide stringency in the money
market a time when even the
great aud richest state of New
York had failed to float a bond
issue of twenty-seven millions,
and when some of the largest
and richest corporations of the
had to pay a higher rate
Of interest on longtime bond
issue than we had to pay on a
short loan. The bid taken on
the short loan was approximate
ly Z per. cent or to be exact 9S.1
for 5 per cent notes The Gov
ernor goes on to show that the
Board had no choice between
the two alternatives, to accept
that bid or to let the State de-
fault, and frankly said that he
felt no hesitation in accepting
the bid under the circumstances
for the reason that a default in
meeting the States obligations
on the first Of July would have
been disastrous to the States
credit. 1t made US proud of the
Governor when he paid such a
tribute to at least a PARTON of
our population in saying, There
are tens of thousands of Tennes-
see citizens whose high sense Of
honor would cause them to strip
their coats from their backs to
meet and discharge a personal
obligation. Such men would
have felt the keenest mortifica-
tion if the State had defaulted."
The Governor goes on to say
that it is his purposeto engage
in some further discussion Of the
State debt matter to the end
that the masses Of the people
may have a fuller understanding
Of that important matter. He is
convinced that one of the best
results Of his administration is
that the people. .have been to a
. greater extent educated in

Our attention has been called to

calls and underground methods are
seeking to undermine confidence in

attempting to arouse public distruct
