WhHe the opening up OF the states and
Territories to the westward would also
contribute to the trafs to follow this chan
mel. A determination to compete for this
trade has sensibiy accelerated railroad pro,
g,css in Iowa the past year and this has
not been confined to east and west lines,
but those running or projected in norther,
ly and southerly directions have felt more
or less of its influence. Hence the last
two years have witnessed the construction
Of more miles OF railroad in Iowa thnn any
two previous years Of our States history.
During that time there have been 500
miles Of railroad bailt, making an aggre-
gate of about 2, O94 now in, operation in
the State. ~
The last General Assembly reserved to
the State the right to enact laws regulating
rates OF tariff on the roads on which it be-
slowed land grants.d 1t was thought lest,
at the time, to take advantage of the OPP
portunity offered to place beyond cavil the
authority Of the General Assembly in this
matter. the owners of these roads are
possessed of the power of taking private
property for the uses Of their projects.
The roads, also, are endowed with
enormous IMMIGRANTS, amounting, with
those Of the other roads, as has been seen.
to between four and FIVE millions Of acres,
or about one eighth Of the entire area Of
the State. Recipients of such bountics.
they have no right to complain if the State
reserves to itself the ultimate bower to
prevent extortion, should such Ever be re-
sorted to. it
The entire question of regulating, by
legislation, the tariff of rates on railroads,
has been widely discussed, and is one Of
great Importance. Of tho benefit to be
derived from such an attempt at regulation,
there is. in my judgment. grave question.
In ordcd, however, that the subject might

The Council Bluffs and St. Joseph, and

years. The Burlington, Cedar Rapids and

the irstnamed city to a point within a

the St. Louis and Cedar Rapids is pro-
crossing in the direction Of Ottumwa and

! Company has built road from Burlington
to Fort Madison, making connection there
by rail with Keokuk. Besides, a railroad
has just been completed to Burlington
from Carthage, Illinois. Numerous pro-
jected lines attract much attention, and a
! few have made some degree of progress.
The completion Of the Pacific Railroad
has undoubtedly hastened this rapid de-

most memorable Of the age. worthy to be
ranked with the laying Of the Atlantic
