The issue centers on the proposed assumption of farm mortgages and railroad bonds by the State. A Milwaukee Wisconsin correspondent outlines a plan for issuing 6 million in state bonds, potential 30 to 40 year terms, five percent interest, and possible use of taxes from banks and railroad taxes to fund interest.
