in the Cotton Stanford case,
the other day, the testimony brought
forth the fact that $1O,OOO,OOO of
Southern Pacific bonds were sold in
January, 1880, with tn provision that
the Southern Pacific uld cause the
Central Pacific to lease it (the South
ern Pacific roadD for five years from
January l, 1880, during which 10
notifications should be made, and
that the net rental should be $4,000
per mile, and should not be reduced
at any time to an amount insufficient
to pay interest on the bonds. And
yet these same companies, when asked
to pay taxes on a valuation OF only
$4,000 per mile, refuse on the
ground that the roads are not worth
that much!
