We think the awful array of facts set
forth in the citation in the cause of
Reed VS.. Calder, which bear the nter-
nal evidence of truth on their face, de-
msnd Dr. Calder's dismissal from the
board aud election from the vice presi~
dencY of the Dallas and Wichita rail-
road. Is it possible that such n man,
with such an official record can foist
himself upon corporation such as that
road Be 1t known TO the financial
world, that director, and the second
officer Of the road, is man Of this
stamp, snd how much capital will grav-

and how long.must the people pay tazes
when no consideration is returned and
when the probabilities arc SO vastly

sake of the people of the region tra-
versed by the road. for the sake Of the

( the tax lists we find he turns it in, and
/ il is accepted by the assessor, at the

dollars. Besides this. he is renting it at
figure which indicates profit on the
tax valuation OF thirty.two per cent per
annum. This ia great evil, but it
