State Aid to Railroads.

A correspondent, in another COL
umn, advocates the adoption of the
constitutional amendment proposed
by the last Legislature, so modified
as to apply not only to railroad" built
hereafter, but to the relief of towns
and cities which have burdened them>
selves with indebtedness in aid Of
roads constructed.
Our own opinion is that the people
of the state will do wisely to nip this
proposition in the bud. Where rail-
roads are needed, and there is busie
ness To support them, railroads will
be built. The bounty of $4,000 a
mile, offered by the state, will be Just
80 much additional profits given to
the railroad operators 1t will not
induce them to build roads where
there is no business to support them
where roads will pay they will be
constructed in the natural course Of
events We are opposed to creating
state debt for any such purpose
The way into debt is like the descent
into Avernus, swift and easy, but
when once there it is a miserable
place in which to remain, and the
way out is rugged and full of diflicnl-
ty. A public debt should never be
contracted except from sheer neces-
sity. No such plea can be urged for
the one under consideration. 1t is q
proposition to burden all the proper,
ty of the state alike to make public
Improvements which will affect the
value of property in wholly unequal
manner. The state is already over
$1,000, 900 in debt Let Us stop res
olutely whore we are, and climb out
rather than seek lower depth. We
hope the Legislature which meets in
January next will promptly put a
quietus on this scheme Of plungin the
state into debt with the futile hope
that railroads may thus be built when
private enterprise can see no suffi-
cient inducement for their construc.
