Municipal Aid 10 Railroads,

To the Editor Of the Press:
Pennington village corporation is having
some excitement in relation to issuing its
bonds to the amount of S35 OOO,-loaning its
credit for $4,000, and raising $4,000 more
upon the $4,000 worth of bonds, to hire or
gice to the Androscoggin railroad company to
extend the road from the west to the east
side of the river, a distance of half mile,
paying also all land damages. None object
to loaning credit-but some are opposed to
the sift, raising the money by issuing bonds
and enforcing the tax to pay interest and
principal, which in the stipulated time-SO
years-amounts to over $4,000.
This giving money on the part of cities,
towns and corporations is of very questiona-
BILE authority under our constitution, even
with the form of legislative sanction, which
is usually no sure barrier against unjust tax
alton, for enterprises in which maiority of
citizens may see fit to embark, but which are
in truth undesirable and afford no real and
substantial prosperity. Through this Farm
ington case the whole subject is to be brought
to the attention OF the court, and il is TO he
hoped that the extent of the power of towns
and cities to give away money and assess
tax to pay the same, will be fully expressed.
by this high authority.
Inall those places where this has been DONE
injury rather than benefit has resulted. Iowa
is to-day groaEing under her loaning credit
and giving away taxes; the largest places are
in the hands OF the U. S. Marshal, tolbe sold
atlauction to pay interest ON bonds. Augusta
by large majority would to-day retract the
Sprague enterprise, which many often de-
nounce faiuae or a swindle; yet the intoi-
cradle taxes come yearly round, from which
many are to-day hoping for deliverance
through the Supreme Court.
In Norridgewock, also, real estate, in con-
sequence OF approaching high taxation, has
decreased twenty-five or thirty per cent.
Farms which once sold for ten thousand are
row sold for seven or eight Thousand dollars
This faacious principle has had its course
in some of the Western States, till the people
are now convinced of its utter worthlessness,
working injury rather than beneht, and in
many cases of individuals, the greatest injus-
tice, they being taxed without their just equip-
alent in law. Ohio, Michigan and Illinois are
engrafting it directly upon their State consti-
tutions, "that towns and cities shall not be al.
lowed to loan their credit nor issue bonds to
subscribe for stock in railroads or other public
enterprises" Such being the condition of
these matters at the West, and at home also,
would it not be well for all communities to
improve the lesson, and not hastily rush into
financial obligations, which are not so easily
discharged as supported by votes.
