The United States Supreme Court has
made a decision which renders worthless, so
II is estimated, over S3,OO0,0OO OF railroad aid
bonds. issued under authority Of an act OF the
Missouri Legisl iture. The case adjudicated was
suit brought TO recover the amount due on
certain unpaid interest coupons belonging to
bonds issued as the subscription OF Mount
Pleasant township, Bates county. for the build
Ing Of tho Lexington, Lake and Gulf Railroad.
This subscription was authorized by an act OF
the Legisl ,ture, passed in 1893, which provided
that II two-thirds of the people OF township,
voting at a special election held for the purpose,
should vote In favor OF proposition TO sub
scribe money In aid OF a railroad, and to issue
bonds therefor TO be paid by tixes on the town
ship property the county court should make
the subscription In behalf OF such township,
and Issue the bonds, Mount Pleasant township
subscribed $4,000 IN aid OF tho railroad already
named the bonds were issued, and now the
men, women and children, whose money has
been invested In these and other bonds issued
under the same act, learn that they have been
swindled 10 the extent OF their investments,
the Supreme Court having annulled the bonds
on the ground that the act under which they
were issued was unconstitutional IA the act au-
thorzed the issue OF the bonds on the approval
Of two thirds OF the qualified voters VINO should
actually vote on the proposition, while the Con-
situation prohibits such subscriptions, unless
they have the approval OF two-thirds Of all the
qualified voters who live in the township where
the election Is held. The 81. Louis Republican
Is OF the opinion that this decision will sweep
out OF existence all the township railroad bonds
Issued In the State OF Missouri, amounting to
about $3OOO,OOO. Tho citizens OF Mount Pleas
