and been refused, GU the ground that he was not q

over it. r
We have often pointed out that rates
OF freight and transportation are in
reality taxes. Judge Black, great
constitutional lawyer, declares that they
are, and he says of the right to take toll
generally:
But this tax must he reasonable, Just,
uniform, prescribed and fixed, so that
every citizen may know beforehand
exactly how much he must pay, and 80
that when he pays or tenders the proper
amount he will acquire an absolute and
perfect right to the use Of the road.
The amount OF the tax, toll or freight
in any case is not a subject. of bargain
between the shipper and the corporation,
but a thing to be settled, fixed and
prescribed by public authority. If the
company may charge what it pleases,
then the road is not a public highway;
the public has no right in it at all, and
the charter which authorizes the taking
of land to build it is unconstitutional
and void.
There cannot be Il reasonable doubt
that the State and the United States
have perfect right to control railroad
companies and make them act justly
and reasonably to all their customers,
and for this purpose either Government
has right to impose proper regulations.
Says Judge Blacks:
maintain that all the States have a
clear and indefeasible right to protect
their people against such wrongs and
to exercise the power as q sacred duty.
When that duty is properly performed
the internal trade of each State will
cease to be enslaved and crippled as it
is now. But the commerce between the
States will still he open to inequalities
and liable to oppression and plumber
by transportation companies unless the
National Legislature does something to
save it. Congress has power" to regu-
late commerce between the States"
Is it not strictly within the scope Of
that authority when it makes law for
bidding carriers through the State to
injurc, impede or destroy the general
and discriminating charges 7 If that
be not regulation of Interstate
commerce, what would be. The power
being conceded, an effectual mode Of
! righting the wrongs now complained
of can easily be devised.
| The Judge maIvels how the railroad
corporations have been able to convince
or apparently convince legislators that
| their power was doubtful or non-ex-
stcnt over this question, but immediate
~ afterwards he says with great truth a.:
The influence of these great corpora
tons can hardly be calculated. They
have methods of defense and offense
which make them almost invincible.
! You have referred to portions Of their
history which proved this. Some of
the State governments are literally sub
jugated by them now. 1t will require a
strong organization and much labor to
reduce them. Unlisciplined militia in
the open field make a very poor fight
against regulars entrenched. What arc
cornstalks against cannon? Such is
truth against money.

Judge Black on the Railroad
Problem.
In. Y. Granllic.

n. Y. Graphicl
Judge jeremiah S. Black, in response
to certain inquiries from the Special
Committee on Railroad Transportation,
has written long letter Oh the railroad
problem, directing his particular atteD-
ton to tile power of the State and Ma
tional Governments to regulate railroad
rates.
The Judge opens by pointing out the
cardinal error land parent of much false
argument) Of railroad mep. which is
that they believe or pretend to believe
that railways are the property OF the
companies authorized to run them."
To this Judge Black responds unan-
swerably:
A public highway cannot be private
property, and railroad laid out aud
built by the authority OF the State for
the purpose of commerce is as much =
public highway as turnpike road,
canal or nayigable river.
1t is the duty Of the State to promote
intercourse and trade by making high
ways of the best sort through her terri
tory. To this end she may take land
and materials, which is an exercise OF
the power of eminent domain. She can
build railway at her own expense,
using the direct agency OF her own
officers, end after it is built she can
make it free to all ennleus, or reimbnrse
the cost by special tax on individuals
who have occasion to use it. She can
delegate the taking and the taxing
powers to IL corporation or Il natural
person, and that is what she always
does when she grants a railroad charter.
But in either or any case the road be-
longs to tile State, and all the people
have a right to use it upon compliance
with necessary regulations aud payment
Of proper tax.
But, it is asked, what, then, is the
relation of the railway companies to
these public Highways 6pd the commu
nifty As has SO often been pointed out
in these columns, they are agents to do
indirectly for the community what the
community has not thought fit TO do
directly for itself by its own officers.
Or: as Judge black clearly phrases it:
The corporations who have got into
the habit of calling themselves the
owners of the railroads have no pro-
prietary right, title, or claim to The
roads themselves, bui mere franchise
annexed to and eXercisable thereon.
They are the agents of the State for the
performance Of public duty. Il the
franchise be forfeited or surrendered,
or II It expire by eflgx ct time, the
State takes possession OF. tue road and
runs it herself, or employs a new agent.
The company cannot keep the road any
more than an outgoing collector of a
nart cap appropriate TO himself tho
custom house where he did his official
work.
The State, having need for a public
highway at a particular place, makes q
contract with corporation to open and
put it in . condition to be used and. by
way of feimbursing the bilillers and
operators, she authorizes 4 tax upon
those who travel or carry merchandise

II some plan could DC contrived to

There are only five prisoners in our
parish jail. Three of them are crazy and
ought to be in the insane asylum, and
the other two were convicted at the last
term of court and appealed to the
Supreme Court. So in this parish of
forty thousand population there is not
q single criminal in prison awaiting
trial, and there are not many at large.
This happy state OF affairs is due largely
to our present efficient sheriff.
