EDITOR IIEHALD:—I notice in last weeks Herald a few lines from Dr. Melcher, asking: "Is our county being bonded without a vote of the tax-pay er, &C.?" While I am unable to answer the question asked by the Dr., it appears to me that he has not given the subject such thorough reilection as it deserves, and merely opposes it on the general ground that bonds are debts. The net of the legislature gives the commissioners power to bond for out standing warrants, provided a 7 per ct, bond can be disposed of at par (same rate cf interest which the county is ob liged' to pay on its outstanding war rants.) Should our county commissioners coneludc to go on and bond the county, they would not be creating anew debt, but merely merging an existing float ing indebtedness in a moje convenient shape, to put off the pay-day, and to raise its warrants to a cash basis. There are at least two very good rea sons to show why *the commissioners should bond not for the benefit of the capitalist, bjit in the interest of the tax-payer. First comes the matter of discount. At present the county pays for every 85 cents worth of goods or services re ceived $1.00, with 7 per cent interest, as 85 per cent, is the market value of our county warrants. This looks to me like a very poor way of doing business, when a county can obtain ready mo ney at 7 per cent, and save the discount on its warrants. The possible inference that the loss by discpunt falls on the holders of the warrants is only true in a limited de gree, where certain fees are stipulated by law, and where the county's scrip is forced on the public dollar for dollar. In all other dealings the discount is taken into consideration, and the coun ty must pay a higher price in propor tion. The second reason why the county should dispose of its floating debt by bonding, exists in the fact that at pres ent one-half of our lands escape taxa tion, because they are not proved up on. In ten years all these properties will double the assessed valuation of to-day and make it easier to pay 620,000 then than it is to continue drudging along under the growing load of warrants. One thing is certain, there is no use expecting the floating county debt to be reduced by the annual tax levy of 6 mills. The only way this can be done is by bonding and creating a special fund to pay the interest on the bonds, or by voting a special increase of the county tax of say one per cent, for a few years, until the debt is wiped out. 1Ji—0 A HEKALD KEADEJI.
