and very elaborate argument. supported
by copious quotations from legal au
tborities and decisions of courts. The
conclusions reached, being summarized
| as follows:
First-That railroad companies are the
mere creatures OF law, drawing theil
breath of life from the law alone, capabl,
| of doing only what the law permits then
to do, and holding their lives and theil
powers at the mere will and pleasure o.
the Legislature.
Second-That the business those com.
panies are engaged in is one which even
natural persons could not carry on with
ont the permission of the Legislature.
Third-That the companies are obliged
to carry passengers and freights for {
reasonable compensation, and subiec
themselves TO suits for damages and {
forfeiture of charter if they will moi
do so.
Fourth-That the railroads are public
highways; the title vested in the corpora
ton, bnt vested in trust for the State
that the companies are merely the agents
OF the State for the operation and man.
agement OF these great highways; that
the money invested by companies as
compensation for land condemned OIL
right OF way purchased and to build,
equip and operate the road is regarded
as a consideration paid to the State for
the oompan 1S conferred by the State upon
Fifth-That the charters grau.~
our State Constitution are not protected
by the Constitution of the United States,
as construed in the Dartmouth College
case, but may be altered or recalled by
the Legislature at any time.

the Legislature to control railroads and
nix tariff of rates for them results as a
necessary and logical conclusion. lisa

everything falling within the lines called
public juris, that is public property, is
subject to legislative control
