1t is quite proper that at this time, the atten-
tion of the Legislature should be called to guard
we'll the interests of our future State, for never
before in our history has there been opened great
er avenues of temptation than now. Man is gov
erned by interest, and whenever that interest can
subserve his ends, he is quite likely to bend
his inclinations regardless of the injury done to
Others hence, the necessity at this time of throw
ing up an insuperable barrier to the earnest eff
forts which will be made on the part of the initi-
ated. to get control of our Railroads and use
them to the detriment of the people. The dispo-
ton of the lands given to us by Congress, is q
matter of paramount Importance The questions
arise-"Shall Minnesota reap any benefit from
these lands, or shall those companies chartered
by our Legislature pocket the "rocks" In a
word, shall we, the People, derive any 'resulting
interest ?''-Shall one twos companies have
control of the whole matter and become, as in
the case of the Camden and Amboy Company, a
gigantic monopoly, or shall each road and each
branch have a company, or shall there be no
companies whatever, but the power of controlling
the Railroads be left to the State? Certain it
is that these questions are worthy an investiga-
tion, and it appears to US that there can be no
more proper time for that investigation than
now.
Our own opinion is, that the Legislature should
seek, by every means in its power, to prevent
monopolies, and to create such charters as will
secure for Minnesota a handsome per centage of
the earnings of the roads, provided companies
are created. Some are of the opinion that
Board of Public Works should be established,
and the control of the roads placed in their hands;
while others are of the opinion that supple
mental law to each charter should be passed (see
our correspondents) in order to guard aginst the
grasp of too much power. In any event the Leg
islature should secure the interests Of Minnesota
first, and the interests of companies afterwards.
Let us act wisely in this matter, and generations
to come will rise up and call us blessed;but if
act unwisely the whole system of our Railroads
will be to us curse rather than a blessing.
