table, to go with the pending funding
bill.
Booth addressed the Senate on the
pending bill. He went into calcula-
ton as to the amount of bonds at ma
turlty, and said the costs of the roads
was represented as follows: First
mortgage bonds. $55, 900, 900; Govern
ment bonds, $50. 900, 900; land mort
gage bonds. $4,000. 900; capital stock
$50, 600, GO0--making total of $780,
OOO 0OO--and it was said by the com.
pauies that these roads, with growing
business aud through rapidly devel-
opiug section, which originally cost
this sum, were not security at the
end OF twenty years for $l57 900. 900.
There must be something wrong in
calculation, and it did not take long TO
see where the error was. The $780,
0GO. 900 capital stock did not represent
any real amount invested IN the roads,
but if anything an arbitrary profit on
fraudulent contract. He maintained
the right of the Government to amend
the charter of any corporation, 10 re-
quire it to maintain Its credit and pro-
tect its sovereignty. aud deuied the
right of any corporation to divide its
property among its stockholders and
defraud its creditors, be that stock
real or fictitious.
