THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD aurr


Iho Government has commenced suit againa
tho Union Pacific Railway Stockholders to com
pol them to pay up tholr subscriptions to th
capital stock Of tho road, in accordance with tn
terms OF tho law. This atook amounts t,
sa6, 1000, aum creator than tho who'll
amount Of principal and interest duo to tho Gov
ernmont on tho bonds Issued to tho Company
Only worry small portion, perhaps per cont
porhaps nothing, Of this stock was over mid for
II 1t wore paid in full, ~ 1t should hayo been
tho Company would bo In position to pav t1t
interest Of It's socond-mortgago bouds regularly
and oven to pay tho principal. We oan
500 no reason why they ahould not do 80
What tho dovornmont orcrod to do In tho bo.
ginning WAS to lend its credit to tho Company.
aud givo certain amount Of land outright for
tho construction Of tho road. Whom this loan Of
orodlt.waa mai1o subject to anolhor mortgage OF
an equal amount, tho Government virtually 1ont
its credit for s54, 000 since It would be noo-
essary for 1t to assume md protect tho first mort
gage in order to mako tito socond available.
This sum Of s54, 800, 600 was moro than enough
to build and equip tho road. Therefore. what
oVor risk 'thero may hayo boon in
tic original undertaking wis ontirclv aa.
sumed by tho Government, and tho
land-grant was thrown in as gratuity. Ae tho
lands havo beon nortgagod for s10,oo 600,
1t Is fair to presume that they woro worth double
TINT sum whom tho mortgage was executed, aud
that they aro not worth less now.
Tho Government ought not TO uBc harsh mons
urea or tako advantage Of moro toohnlcalit1tos In
Its dealings with citizens. Tho law Is Clearly On
tho hfdo OF tho Government in tie pondtng suit.
and tho question whether equity Is On tho same
side is tho only ono to DO considered. Wo think
1t is. To compel the Stockholders to pny up their
subscriptions, is simply forcing them to tako
money outof their rpocketsand put itinto thoir owr,
treaSury. Thoy aro mado no poorer by tho
operation, though tho security Of tho Goyorn->
mont for tho ultimate payment Of its bonds is
improved. These bonds do not
Toll duo Until about tho ond Of tho proaont con-
Jury. Payment ia not preBsing but II tho stock
wero collected, tho money could
bo applied to tho payment of tho other indobt-
edneHs OF tho Company, to-wit: tho frnt mort
gage and tho income bonds (936, ,5o2, ,0oo), leay-
ng tho not earnings Of the road, which now
mount to ovor s4,ooo,ooo and nro increasing.
. bo applied to tho: payment OF dividends.
Cho stock would then bo worth par. Or
Exactly what thoY pay for it. Tho present fancy
'aiuo OF 80 por cent OF thoreabout would, per-
'Hpn, DO lost but that may be offset against the
and-grant, and is at all events very small
'enalty for tho manifold rascalttios Of Credit |
to6illor.
VI course, tho Same rulo which ia applied to |
no Union Pacitlc should DO applied to tho con-
rel Pacific and all the other subsidized roads.

THE R0E5EL LAW IN OHro.

1he state OF Ohio has sensation, Tile Con-
stttutlon Of that Slate prohibits in c1presa terms
any county, town, Or township from being q
stookholdor In any corporation, and from raising
money for or in MD OF any corporation or asao-
citation. and from loaniug it's credit to or in mid
OF any corporation or association. Tho result Of
this has been that tho counties, towns and 1nu-
inequalities Of Ohio hnyo been sayod from tho
mortgages, lens and intolorablo taxation for
ratlroad-aid debts which havo proved 50 oppres-
bfvo upon municipalities in Town md Wisconsin.

Legislature Of Ohio, In 1874, passed. what ia

porate Jurisdiction, or to vote money or
bonds to aid in building, parts of RAILWAYS.

further required that tlis sale or lease should

miles Of railway for tho money voted by tho
town or county. Upon tho yoto boiug taken.
tho county issued its bonds, Which, however.
woro not bo delivered until tho road vas eon,,
pleted. 1t Will bo seen that this was q yery
thin disguise; that 1t was only mode Of eyad-
lug the Constitution. It was, however, lobbied
through tho Legislature by tho railroads aud
contractors, who forthwith, upon its passaoo.
Without giving tiine to hayo the validity of the
10" tcatcd In tho courts, urged on tho people to
vote tho bonds. Tho act WAS passed, April %,
1879, and on tho 1st of December, in tin
samo year, tho bonds filed with tho Auditor
amounted to $2,Gs5.00o. Since TINT t;tuo the
amount OF those bonds has Increased to over
s4'ooo, 600, not including groat many voted but
not yet filed with tho Auditor, Tho work unon
some OF tho roads has boon begun, and ia now in |
