Democratic Spokesman
Cites Reason For
Spending Money
Continued from page j.

NCDHClnueQ 1rOm page
the United Democratic Organization
approved and that the last session of
the State Legislature passed, and both
of them were pushed through by
former Democratic ants who had al
ways fought county bond issues.
The old line organization did not
support any road bond issues in any
section of the county, although its
leaders were willing to vote down the
Oxley and Jones special road bond
issues.
We think Mr.. King is off base again
when he says, that to refund the coun-
ty bond issues coming due in the next
two years will cost the county "an ad-
ditional $4,000 in interest.
The fact is that Montgomery Coun-
ty refunding bonds will be sold on the
present bond market at from 10 to
11k9o less interest, and the refunding
operation will save the county tax
payers money
If these bonds are not refunded,
then the general county tax rate will
have to be raised to provide enough
funds in next years taxes and sthe
following years taxes to pay off this
100000 in maturing bonds.
This would be about As cent in
crease on the county tax rate and no
body would be more out of luck than
Jim King if the position the Farm
Bureau has taken forced an increase
in the county tax rate on all the farms
in the county of As cents in order to
pay off all the bonds coming due this
year and the year after.
The Farm Bureau president also de-
noanded that the governor veto the
bill that the recent legislature
passed repeating the referendum on
county bond issues. Mr.. King fails to
state that the legislature also passed
a new referendum law which makes
a referendum mandatory on all new
bond issues except for an issue of
100000 for each two-year period, all
of which must be spent for new
county schools.
This means that in the future no
new bond issues can be issued for
roads, parks, or general public build
ings without a referendum, but for
each year 100000 worth of new
school rooms can be built to provide
new school space for Montgomery
county's constantly increasing crop of
school children.
We think this is fair and sensible
and with 100000 available for new
school rooms each year without
referendum, large bond issues for all
kinds of purposes will not have to be
log-rolled together in order to win
approval of the voters in every part
of the county at the polls, and that
the law as passed by the Democrats
at the last session will actually prove
more economical and be more effective
i'll keeping bond issues down than the
absolute law requiring referendum
on all bond issues.

No. my dear correspondent, there
is no way whereby immediate

happen because the forces for the
change are too weak and un-

Cling TO unravel it for some time
The theory is that the Negro has
equality OF citizenship with all OF
TIE other race groups in America.
As a matter Of constitutional enact
ment, this is so; but because each
state is left free to legislate at will
in its domestic affairs. the Negro is
at the mercy OF Negotiating south

Negroes being openly Disseminated

taxes, travel and accommodation
