"A provision, recently made a part
of the state constitution, limited state
bond issues to two-thirds of the
amount by which the state debt was
reduced in the preceding biennium.
In practical effect, this automatical-

State debt and thus protects the

"To postpone major participation
in the PWA again is essentially to
make the same mistake. We will!
