Special Tax Bonds for
W hich Cuba is Now Suing
Raleigh, *L a. Nor. 27, 1910.
To tho Washington Daily New.: j
? I ?m you desire Information con
cerning the special Uz bonds involved
| In the petition -Mod- In tho Supreme )
Court of the United States by tho
Republic of CubajngaSoat the suite
of North Carolina.
1 do not believe that the President
the Cuban Republic dnderatands
attempted suit. If he did. I be- |
Would have It withdrawn at
aa It will aerloustj'. Injure that
ibllc In the godd'oplnlon of; the .
to of thta country.
It la strange, too, that such action :
Id bo attempted by a friendly
.nation for whose Independence
j North Carolina soldiers, 8hlpp and I
Bagley, shed their blood. The latter j
yaa the brother-in-law of the present |
Secretary of the Nary and was the
first American soldier killed in the
war for Cuban lnde$4tt0fico.
These Special Tax B (flfeo have been
ofTered to nearly ere* In thej
onion by holders' and' hare beeil re
fnsod because of tWHr\ well known
fraudulent character. They have no
! relation to the bonds involved in Mnrl
South Dakota suit. Tho latter were
valid bonds ant v*re aoetfred b* a'
pledge . jat tho StgtoO*- stock- In ?*w
North Carolina Rnttroad. U was tfc
6tj this latter ground bnl? that the
Supreme Court of the United States
assumed jurisdiction. NO question of
taxation waa Involv
derstand that, con ti
Ing the eaae of
Nortel Carolina, 192
All those boxfds had 9
mlsed except S2?.tid6 n
In that case Chief 'Justice Poller
and Justices McKenna, Day and
White diaaented, all of whom exeept
Fullor are on the present bench. The
only Justice now there who voted
olth the majority la Juatlco Holmes.
The dissenting opinion of White,
present Chief Justice, is regarded by
practically the entire profession of
law as onanswerablo. He demon
strates Conclusively that to permit
such suits against a State upon bonds
tt%n?ferjed. t??mnother State or for
eign natiofi for purposes or suit la a
palpable evasion and violation of the
ltth Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.

i When the BtaU institution of

that not a dollar ot these fraudulent
bonds should ever be paid ind no tax
levied for that purpose unless ap
proved. by a vote ^of the people.

not levy any tax to pay these bonds

argument will be made on behalf of
