The Menace Of Public Debt
Speech Delivered by John s. ROSseI Before the Rotary Club

in PiIing Up BurdenSOme Public Debts.

tablishing a dangerous precedent.
Governmental Power TO Create Debt.
When we come TO analyze the pow
ers of government; and especially
when we realize that all these pow
ers under our theory OF government
are derived from the people we may
well be amazed at their great extent
and marvel at the limitations they
place upon many of our privileges.
The right OF eminent domain. which
the state may exercise for any pub
lie purpose. may destroy your home
and place you al the greatest neon
venience, but In this. the State must
compensate YOU and must proceed by
legal process that secures TO You the
right TO be heard. Not so when the
State. or any subdivision, proposes
TO assess your property. or 10 impos
tax or 10 create q bonded debt
This is discretionary power which
the courts viii not review. If all for
malities are followed strictly, and
you have no alternative except TO
bear the burden When a bond is
sue IS made the credit OF the nation.
State. county or city is pledged for
its payments and the courts Will en-
force the obligation. They always
sustain the government in the eXer-
else of its powers.
Startling Figures.
I invite your attention 10 some
rather startling figures | have found
recently. | regret that it was not
possible to obtain any reliable in
/ formation later than 1913. In that
year the public debt of the nation,
States and minor civil divisions Of the
country. amounted 20 S4.S50. 460 l13 or
/ s49.97 per capita. Remember this
doesn't mean that you and I each
owed S49.97 and that by coming for
ward and paying this amount We
4 could discharge ourselves OF our OBJ
/ legation The per capita, as you know
I ia a division according to population
and applies TO those who own nc
property as well as to those whu

be paid by those who can ana mus

amount You and I must stand for Is

We might say, very we'll. the tota

and reduce it. or extinguish il alto

Objects to Five Per Cent Commission.
Editor Tidings: / wish to say as
one who is, and has been from the
first, your friend and friend to the
mineral springs project, and have
Loyalty taken your part when others
have assailed your honesty and in
tegrity, by inference at least, that
my faith is somewhat shaken when
you proposed, in last issue of the
Tidings, to sell the bonds if the coun-
Gil failed, "if they would allow you
five per cent commission" which
means, of course, $3.50
Now, Mr. Greer, you are we'll
aware that the people of this city
voted the bonds under the guarantee
that they were to be sold at no more
than five percent, and they have
stood by you Loyalty in the legalizing
of the bonds and giving you hearty
endorsement as one of the commits
sioners to carry out this springs
project, and for you now to take five
per cent for selling the bonds or be
a party to help others get it, is GER
tainly morally wrong, and l believe
If 1t is taken into court 1t can be es-
tablished that it is legally wrong, and
you ought to know that in this day OF
demand for honesty in public busi-
ness, that not only your enemies (to
the project, I mean) will watch and
have shadowed every transaction of
the carrying out of this expenditure
as well as your friends to the project,
and you can afford no such work.
The same scheme was tried by
bond buyers recently at Coquille,
Ore, and my son, who was on the
council, demonstrated it as graft
pure and simple and prevented its
consummation.
Think this over and believe me,
Your friend,
r. D. SANFORD.
