AZ VIC undorf,Rnd the matter, the board
OF supervisors Of Champaign county deny
that the county is legally bound to pay
either tho principsl or the interest Of the
bonds issued to endow the Industrial Uni
versity. Tho board is therefore properly
anxious 10 have IN. courts decide the ques-
tion,
The governor has no doubt that the
county can 10 compelled by action of tho
eourts to take care OF the bonds but, be
says, tho county is morally bound to take
care Of them even If tho law should not bt
upon the eide OF the university.
We are Of the opinion that tho county !,
neither legally nor morally under any
obligation to pay those bonds. They wer,
obtained from the county as the bonds o
Carbondale and Of Anna and Of o,her
places, were procured-by per,uading til,
county to bribe the legislature
But the governor threatens. III yol
do no! pay tho interest on these bonds, tn
state will be compelled to endow tho uni
yersity, and it is not likely it will be loca
tod in your county says his e1ccllency
Tho threat will not fFighion Champaign
and If it. has any pluck at all it vii
press righ! on as /. /, now going, aud ps
the interest on the bonds If it must.
