 STATE BOND ISSUE

Alexander City. April 24.-tSpecial.l An unqualified Endorsement of the pro- posed bond issue to relieve the state financial stringency was voiced by group four of the Alabama Bankers assoc la ton here today. The following resolution adopted at a called meeting was passed and recommended to the State bankers association for consid- erafion and action:
 "N hereas, The financial condition of the state of Alabama is such as tc demand the careful consideration of every citizen thereof: and,
 Whereas, The official messages of his excellency, Charles Henderson, tie governor of Alabama clearly demo,:- st, ,ates his careful study of the sit uaticn. as well as exhibits his financial training and ability; and,

 Be it further resdved, That we request the legislature to snaet a fair and just revenue bill so drated as not to increase but to equalize thu burden of taxation.
