Few, people will admit that now is athe proper time to increase the bonded indebted- ness of Bismarck. ‘ The situation is painfully acute to many who hold unpaid. city warrants upon which the tax-| " ‘payers are: being assessed for interest. This con- dition is hardly one to spur the*taxpayers with any enthusiasm in connection with a new issue of ‘city bonds. { } nt 2, Again it. seems probable that refunding bonds must be issued to care for paving obligations which are maturing faster than the sinking fund of the city can ¢are for them. A pelicy of wise finance would hardly contemplate -arother issue of bonds until the city was ‘in the clear’‘az_re- gards the public improvement securities. .;:, There ‘is another valid reason why Bismarck should not embark in any’more bond issues ‘at this time regardless of the merits of the proposed’ going to the devil ;‘who fears Aiérica may yet fall! issue..' Inquity at ‘the county: treasurer’s office reveals the fact that not. more than thirty per cent of the people have paid their taxes, Aside from some very good reasons for this de- ~ lay} the fact/remains that the people are tax bur- dened and are Ipéking for relief and deflation in public expenditures. The city should spend the next year or so.in liquidating some of its obliga- tions through wise management and the practice ‘ of strict. economy. Pena, The market for mi nds while not, ac- tive, it. is probable that, so small an issue as, this could be handled locally without. difficulty, . but |h admitting all this iti.is not, the proper time. to, ¢: launch into mote debt. : eine As the campaign progresses, it will, be. fittin, ‘to discuss othen features im eonnection with election. | Sometimes. the original cost of, the: jects for which these elections are held, is.not only consideration and;there. are features, the: tax- ‘payers should understand thorougMty. show to keep the actors from getting, interested in the audience. \, B Sie Baa : | ‘TALK OF LUCK! ‘. j Dr. Donlad B.
