OLD STATE BOND BOBS UP
Owners File Suit Against State Treas
urer to Compel Payment on
Bond Issued in 1838.
The Gazette says that a petition
for a writ of mandamus to compel
State Treasurer H. (’. Tipton to
recognize the validity of one of
the old Real Estate Rank bonds,
first issued in 1H38 and afterward
refunded, was tiled Saturday in
the Pulaski Circuit Court by Brad
shaw, Khoton vNc Helm, represent
ing K. M. Smythe of New York.
The petitioner asks that the state
treasurer be compelled to accept
eight interest coupons from the
bond in payment for certain lands
in Phillips county, for which he
has filed an application with F. F.
Conway, state land commissioner.
The suit involves the constitu
tionality of the act of the state leg
islature of 1901 canceling outstand
bonds of the state, and it brings
up the whole question of the Real
Estate Band bonds, most of which,
known as the llolford bonds, were
repudiated by the Fishback
amendment to the stateconstution.
It is believed that the bond on
which this suit is brought is the
only one of its class in existence.
Attached to the petition is a
copy of the bond signed by Powell
Clayton, governor.
While it is not believed that
there an* any other bonds which
will be affected by the result of
this suit, the case brings up some
interesting questions and it is ex
pected that its progress will be
watched with interest, in view of
former attempts that have been
made to force the payment of the
old bonds.
