Mr. Estes moved q suspension of the rules to
consider the bill to levy taxes railroad receipts

Mr. Estes said the bill was submitted as the
best means the committee on Finance could find
to compel these railroads 10 pay the interest on
the State bonds issusd for their aid. The bill
provided that the railroads should pay to the
State two cents on each mile for every passenger
carried in this State, the money to be applied to
| paying the interest on the debt due the State.
| The result would not necessarily be to raise the
rates of fare, but it W uld compel these roads to
| pay the interest, and was the most convenient

| Mr. Estes said the North Carolina railroad
owed 49, 000O 600 to the State, and it was proposed

pay the interest of this debt but to provide that
the railroads should pay their own debt. The

that "Mr. Billy Smith has ruined the railroad,

1 road;" but he thought those loads would be able
! to make as large dividends as they had ever done.
| 1t was absurd to say that people will go around
| by Cape Horn to New York because of the effect
OF the bill, and he did not believe it would raise

Mr.. Farrow suggested to, insert one as sub

Mr.. Estes said the committee esaila.ssaed that,
two cents mic would just about cover the in
terest on the debt; but the bill did not require
that they should pay more than the interest from
this source, but that they might retain all of the
| fund produced by the twocentsa mile above the
sum sufficient to pay the interest. Bill passed
