TI1K COCONINO SUN.
SOME LEGAL NUTS FOR DEMOCRATS
TO CRACK.
The Democratic pre-s anil campaign
orators universally refer to the Yava
pai county railroad bonds as belli;
Illegal. In order to substantiate their
assertions will some of them answer the
following quest Ions:
When did wild bonds become illegal?
Were they illegal at the date of issue
or did they become so later':1
If they were illegal at time of isue
why was it that Yavap.ii county paid
Interest on them for eight year, and
also made a p.iymcnt of -57,000 on the
principal?
If they were Illegal at date of issue
why was it that some of these politi
cians who are shouting about their
illegality now did not raise their voice
I on behalf of the taxpayers?
If they were not illegal at date of
issue, at what particular date did they
become so and what particular act or
circumstance caused their illegality?
, As a taxpayer of Yavapai county tins
editor of the Journal-Miner is jusl as
much opposi-d to the payment of any
thing that is not juMtand righl, whet her
it is technically legal or whether it is
technically illegal, as any one, and lie
is open to be convinced on this bond
question.
The simple ipse dixit of a few politi
cians, however, is not convincing to Ills
mind.
Answers to the above quest ions might
throw home light on the subject of
which lie is not. possessed to-day, and
they could not fall to be of interest to
every 1 est voter. Journal-Miner.
Tlie SUN would like to know, if thene
bonds were illegal at. the time of the
setting apart of Coconino county from
Yavapai, why was it that Coconino
was required to assume one-third of
- tlu amount of these railroad bonds?
