Mr.. Editor
DEAR SIR-T have casually learned
that the petition ] recently signed
favors q gratuitous loan of Three Hun
dred Thousand Dollars to the coptem
plated rail road to Shreveport, by this
Parish.
| wish to say That I hcedless|y sign
cd the petition without reading it, and
now desire to qualify tho act as fol-
lows: ! am by no means in favor OF
taxing either the State or any portion
thereof, without a quM pro quo.
Ii the Company proposing to build
the road TO Shreveport, wishes to give
the Parish first mortgage bonds for this
advance or security, then I would ia
vor the act, not otherwise. Tho truth
is, that the travel and commerce of the
Red River Valley are ample to pay
any Company from it's very incipiency.
TO ask q donation is simply a scheme
Of capitalists, to fleece this community.
l lam in favor of all legitimate rail
road enterprises, but the history Of the
North as well as every other country,
has shown THAT monopoly is the crying
evil Of the day, and especially touching
railroad matters.
The organization of the Grange to
suppress this grievance, is simply a
hint. Why not heed it, and avoid the
evil that other countries have been led
into, and now regret. simply quail
~ my signature thus. although am in
favor of Legitimate railroad enterprises.
Yours Truly,
... j. E. WALLACE.
