 railroad enterprise from the Territory. an enterprise that has and will do more to rapidly develop the grand mineral, agricultural and grazing resources Of the Territory than all other enterprises combined. It develops those resources that give employment to labor and fills the country, remote as 1t is, with enter
 prising people. For twenty years past capital has sought iuvestmentin grand railroad enterprises iH the West, and to-day for two thousand miles to the eastward from the Golden Gate we see deserts converted inio productive teidi, peopled with thrifty, intelligent popu- lation. Labor. the brightest jewel of a free people, has fouuG a remuDeFative employment through resources that have sprung directly and indirectly cCs Oi tue
 grand railroad enterprises of the west. The bill can only affect the Southern Pacific and such roads as inay hereafter be built. Te Soathefu Pacific was con- structed through Arizona without sub- sidy, under a charterp ssed by the Leg isiature of the Territory. granting the right to charge at its discretion ten cents per mile fare, and fifteen cents per mile for each ton of freig gLt-m1re than doU- ble its present freight rate. Under that charter they is-ued and sold bonds; un- der that charter they built and mort gagged their load; vested rights have been acquired, and it is SO held in like cases by the Supreme Court of the United States. Therefore I cannot vote for this bill. There is no real conflict between capital and labor; they go hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder in the de- velopment of the country. Dot our Ter ritory all over with railroads and pros perity will be ours.
