THE LATE RAILROAD BoSD DECISION

THE LATE RAILROAD BOND DECISION.
We surrender the entire space Of the second
page Of this issus for the purpose Of spreading
before the public the late highly important
dseision Of the Supreme Court, 10 the matter
Of County Railroad bonds. 1t is . lengthy
and elaborately written docoment. and COM
pletely upsets oil County and City bonds 10.
sued for the benefit Of railroad eompaniee. II
10 the most important decision ever made in
that. and directly interests . large number Of
counties and cities 10 Iowa.
This county Of Scott. has issued its bonds to
the Mississippi ard Missouri Railroad to the
extent Of $4,000. dra wing ten per cent in
terest, which has always been paid with
promptness every six months. The city Of
Davenport has issued its bonds to the Chicago
and Rock Island Railroad to the amount Of
s5o.oco. and to the Mississippi and Missouri
Railroad to the amount Of $4,000 Thus it
will be seen that the decision wipes out coun.
ty and city indebtedness to tho amount Of
$4,000. Therefore, We assume, that the de
cision is one that will deeply interest the citi.
zens Of this section.
This step may be good Law enough, but
many will fail to see the justice Of the opera
ton. Reputation of indebtedness. contracted
in good faith and for value received. is at all
times to be deplored. The bonds of this city
and county never have been rspudiated, nor
has there ever been . desire expressed on the
part of the people to do 60. 1t was considered
a privilege rather than duty to issue them.
and the interest has always been promptly
and cheerfully met; but under this decision
it 10 probable that NO provision will be made
for the interest of the current year. Under
the decision the bonds of both city and county
are illegal, and, Of course, the levyipg OF tax
to pay interest on bonds declared illegal by
our highest court. would meet with resist
ance.
These bonds. many Of them. are in the hands
Of innocent third persons who have invested
the same money in them that they are de-
pending upon to yield their daily support.
Upon such this judicial reputation will fall
with 6issstrous effect. The people of Scott
county. as a people. have no desire to take
the least undue advantage Of any party or
person in this matter They scorn to repudi>
ate honest debts. What course will be pur.
sued we are not prepared to state at the pre-
sent time.
