Legislative Control Of Railroad Corporations

Legislative Control Of Railroad Corporations.
The Philadelphia Legal Gazette reprints
the decision of the Circuit Court of Nc
Lean county, Illinois, in the case of the
People vs.. The Chicago & Alton Railroad
Company. and under the above caption
makes the following comments
The question involved, viz The power
of State Legislature to grant irrevocable
franchises Of regulating tolls and charges
for the transportation of goods and passen-
gers upon railroads, we consider to be one
Of the most important that has ever en-
gagged the attention of court of Justice in
this country The immense power now
exercised by railroads and other compan-
les, under acts of incorporation, obtained
in many instances suIreptitieusly and by
means of corrupt purchase Of State Leg
islatures, are enough to alarm every seri-
ously minded citizen The creation of an
emporium IN snaepgro, a power which, if
not greater than the State itself, is fast
becoming so, is an evil, the magnitude of
which can only be fully realized
under its complete control. The descision
| VI Juu},e IIptuu, THAT the Legislature OF
| Illinois had right to pass an act prevent
ing unjust discrimination in tolls and
charges on railroads, and that said act did
not impair the obligation of the contract
between the legislature and the railroad
company, as set forth in the latter's char
ter, and was therefore not in violation of
the Constitution of the United States, is of
the greatest value to the masses of the
people of his own and other States If the
case is carried to a higher court as we
hope that it will speedily be, and the de-
cision is affirmed, some check will be
placed upon the gigantic corporations,
which to-day are so dangerous to the
liberties of Americans, and the right Of
of the people to control and regulate, BY
means of their representatives, the powers
and actions of such corporations will be
to some extent guaranteed. We trust that
the Commissioners at whose instance the
suit was commenced, will use every means
in their power to hurry the case on to it,
final conclusion in the Supreme court o.
the United States, for we suppose that the
railroad company viii not let the matter
rest as at present, and that before many
months we may have decision from thai
Court, settling the law upon the subject.
