None of the seven acacia trees in the front yard of Sam Morse's home in La Feria, Texas, seem different from any of the others-or from their countless cousins that thrive in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

Nashville last week postponed a $25 million offer of sewer and water bonds, and Baltimore failed to obtain a single bid on a $31.8 million issue because the city set an interest limit of 41% - the equivalent of a 9% taxable investment for a man in the 50% income tax bracket.
