CORPORATIONS.
The strife which for years past has
existed between Il portion Of our peo-
ple ana various corporations Of the
State has, | regret to say, in 10 wise
abatcd. Complaints Of unjust dis
examinations are made by these cor
poratioas, and demanding the aid Of
legislative enactment to reduce The
tariffs Of freight to more equitable
standard. The companies, on tie
other hand, stiIl carncstlyassert that
their charges are lust and equitable.
That there is wrong somewhere
seems probable. That either party il
abs0Iat34 right or wrong Is bv no
means certain. 70 arrive at the ex-
act merits Ct ,he controversy. anex-
tended and critical examination OF
facts and faures il required which
no leai,laturs IN This State has yef
provided for. Thiastrie Il every way

Cd. 1t increases the distrust with
which the people always look upoa
corporations. and thereby dimiuishes
their success and impairs their useful
ness. 1t consumes the time Of each
Legislature ia useless aud never end
ing disputes. 1t rcpels the invest
ment Of railroad capital within our
borders. 1t IS productive only Of
pad results, and should be stopped
Immediately. If the railroad com
pauies are III tie wrong either in
whole rim part, the fact should be
ascertained, and the wrong corrected
by proper legislation. The people
have for years demanded invcstiga-
ton and the corporations invite the
same, asserting that honest impair
tial investigation is what they want,
and that they will abide BY It's award.
Past legislatures nave, either from
want Of time or facilities for obtain.
