Mr.. Mcdonald, of Arkansas, has intro |
duced into the United States Senate a bill,
the provisions of which are darkly omin-
GUS of evil to the commercial interests of
this portion of the South, should it un-
fortunately ever become a law. We do
not entertain, however, any apprehension
that this will happen, more especially
as directions have been sent from Wash
ington to Major Howell, in charge of en-
cheering operations in this department,
to make a survey Of upper Red river in
reference to the objects of the bill; and no
doubt sufficient light will be had to pre-
vent any such mischief as its passage.
The attempt, nevertheless. deserves some
notice, if only for its utter monstrosity.
The bill is entitled an act ''tc incorporate
the Shreveport and Upper Red River
Navigation Company" 1t provides to
erect into a corporation certain parties
whose names are mentioned in the act,
mainly residents of Arkansas, Louisiana
and Texas, with a few parties resident in
other States. The purpose of this incor-
poration is to remove the raft that obstructs
the navigation of upper Red river. The
capital stock of the company is to range
from two hundred and fifty thousand to
one million of dollars. ALI the usual
corporate powers and responsibilities
are added ''to sue and be sued"
and all that sort of thing. The
cream of the bill lies, however, in the
tolls that the company will be empowered
to levy on all freight in every species Of
craft that may navigate Red river, when
once the obstructing raft shall be re-
moved. These tolls are to be one dollar
on every bale of cotton, fifty cents on
every hogshead, twenty-five cents on
every barrel, and on every head of cattle
and horses, sheep and hogs ten cents
each. and one-eighth of one per cent on
all other kinds of freight. There is also
a kindly provision whereby the master Of
a steamboat, skiff or dugout shall forfeit
the sum of five hundred dollars to the
company for not exhibiting manifest OF
cargo to facilitate the collection of tolls.
This virtual proprietorship of what, when
improved, will be an important highway
of commerce, is to be vested in the COM
pany thus incorporated for the term OF
fifty years, when, as the bill munifcently
provides, the government can have its
own again.
There are sufficient data to prove
that the removal of the raft near the
mouth of the upper Red river is neither
difficult nor an expensive proceeding
nor would the cost of thereafter keeping
it open exceed trifling sum per annum
There can, in truth, be little doubt tina
the tolls which could be gathered in ,
single year by the company, should it be
: come incorporated, would be sufficient t.
reimburse the whole cost Of removing tn
raft, and keeping the navigation clear TO
! fifty years.
There is little need of comment upon
bill with such preposterous provisions.
