Whereas, Before the passage of said Memorial said bonds had heen declared unauthorized and void by the District Court of the First Judicial District of the Territory of Arizona, in and for Pima County, by the Supreme Court of the Territory of Arizona, and by the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Lewis 'S's. the County of Pima, decided in the Supreme Court of the Tlnited States at its October, 1894, term; and. Whereas, Said bonds issued to said Arizona TsTarrow Gauge Eailroad Company were never acquired by said County in good faith, and were never sold by it in good faith or for a valuable con- sideration, and none of the interest on said bonds had ever been paid by Pima County, and the validity of said bonds had never been acknowledged by said County, and. Whereas, The said Arizona Narrow Gauge Eailroad was never built and never existed, and Pima County has never received any consideration whatever for the said so-called bonds, and the entire scheme of the said bond issue was a fraud without any element of merit or good faith, and WTiereas, All the foregoing facts were and are notorious, and ^vithin the knowledge of every one who has ever had any dealings with said bonds, and Whereas, It was by all the members of the Legislature passing said Memorial and bv the Governor of Arizona at the time, and by the then Delegate in Congress from Arizona, believed that all of said bonds so issued by Pima County to the Arizona Narrow Gauge Railroad Company were res adjudicate by the said decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, and that none of the said bonds could be thereafter validated, and Whereas, Said Memorial was intended to apply only to certain railway aid bonds of two other Counties in Arizona where the aided raihvays Avere actually constructed, and not to the said bonds so issued by Pima County, as to which none of the statements or rea- sons in said Memorial applied, and which bonds were then as now believed to be without consideration, unjust, fraudulent and void. Therefore, We most strongly urge upon the Senate and Honsie of Representatives of the Ignited States of America to pass such legislation as will exclude from the provisions of the Act of Con- gress of June ^A\, 180G, and from any and all other legislation by Congress the said bonds so issued bv Pima County to the Arizona ?ii, respeiti'iilly beg leave to rei)re- Bent to your Honorable Hoiiies: That Arizona has been in Territorial Vassalage for nearly tlurty-fivc years, that it has the wealth, the population, and that the population has the intellige^jce requisite to self goveniment; that the people of this Territory without regard to political affili- ation or association are in favor of early admission to Statehood, and your Memorialists earnestly pray that Arizona be speedily ad- mitted to Statehood. That the Secretary of tlie Territory is hereby directed to for- ward a copy of this Memorial, one to the Honorable President of tlie Senate, one to the Honorable Speaker of the House of Repre- Pfntatives of the Vnited States, and one to our Delegate in Congress.

That those who aeee]>t the piwjtion to siM've as a memlnT of that hodj' do it at a Iqss, and in consei\uenoo t\\CT^oi \\.\voL^\>feCiQrafc\N3«.^ 93 LAWS OF AEIZONA. to induce people to accept the position.
