REPUDIATION BY THE STATE.
Will Oklahoma repudiate Its honest debts This Is a question of
concern to many warrant holder* and one of Interest to every State lov-
ing citizen. During the Haskell admmlnlstratlon nearly three million dol
larn more warrants were Issued than could be cared for. Our tax laws
were untried and large amount of taxes were tied up in the courts
•waiting Judicial construction of our tax laws. The legislature then
passed a law providing that the revenue for one year could be used on'y
in the payment of in.Iebtoduess Incurred during that year. At the time
this law went into effect t iere was approximately three million dollars
worth of warrants outstanding. They were legal obligations of the State,
yet the taxing board was powerless to levy a tax to pay them. At that
time warrants were selling at par. The purchasers who bought them paid
par for them.
About two years ago a movement was made to issue funding bends to
take up these warrants. The governor and attorney general decided to
make the bonds bear four per cent, interest. Bond dealers urged that
tJhe bonds be made to bear four and one-half per cent., as it would be
impossible to sell four per cent, bonds at par. These officers persiBted,
issued and advertised the bonds for sale at four per cents. No bids were
received. After the lapse of a year another effort was made to sell the
bonds. It was decided to make them bear four and one-half per cent. In-
terest. In the mean time the bond market had fallen flat, and again the
bankers and bond brokers famlliarwtth conditions urged upon the gov-
ernor that four and one-half per cent, bonds could not be sold. The gov-
ernof mulishly declined to listen to people wha were in posirton to know
what could be done and insisted on making the rate four and one-half per
cent. Another batch of bonds were gotten out at an expense perhaps of
one thousand dollars, and were duly advertised for sale. Not a single
legitimate offer was received.
So the warrant holders are still holding the bag. More than that an
effort is being made to force .the warrant holders to accept these four and
a half per cent, bonds at face value under penalty of having interest stop
on the warrants. ' *
In effect the state says to the warrant !holder "I have some bonds
here worth about ninety-five cents. I'll give you a hundred dollars face
value of these bonds for a hundred dollars face value of your warrants.
If you don't accept my proposition I will no longer pay interest on the
warrants."
The warrant holder is therefore placed before the alternative of ex-
changing his six per cent, warrants for bonds bearing four and a bal?
per cent, and unsalable, or losing his interest altogether. To a man up
a tree this looks like repudiation and In the long run Oklahoma will be
injured more seriously than the governor or any body else can foresee.
If Charley West is ever governor of Oklahoma it will be by virtue of
the votes of the people who don't know him.
