whe her il would not bs better in the end
tor the state to learn all such parties as
propose to swindle US a severe lesson.
Instead of crawishing around these par
ties let them come forward and offer to
take somewhere near the real value they
have been to the state; or rs that might
not be considered anything. let them
take their market value at the time the
whole thing proved to be hunbug by
the company they were given to.
II we should pay up all such swindling
operations in full, it would be prem
ium tor swindling, or sharp practice at
least. Let the bond holders make their
proposition to the Legislature. They are
the best arbitrators. Until they see fit
to Go So, let them sweat We can stand
it il they can. All this howl abou. the
credit Of the state is in the interest ofthe
b'nd holders, we think. We can borrow
ali tie money we need easy enough. If
we could rot borrow any we would have
to be more economical; live within our
means which is considered the sure way
for any person to win prosperity
Wheat will continue to grow and lie
valuable to as, just the same whether the
bonds are paid or not. Railroad and
other companies will take the last cen,
