Snbsidizing railroads has been culti-
waited extensively by the United States,
but Canada is entitled to the premium.
The Canadian Pacific is said to have
started with grant OF 756 miles OF road
built and in operation. Another grant
covers %, 100000 acres of land, great
portion of which lies in fertile grain
producing regions. 1t also has clear
gift from tho Government Of $25,O00,O 900
to be paid in installments, on the COM
pletion of each twenty miles of road.
Its charter exempts the road, stock and
equipments from taxes forever, and it
has free right of way, with all materials
for construction free of duty. The q
400 miles of track to be laid is estimated
to cost no more than $600O0,OOO, OF
which, as stated above, the Government
pays $25, 100000. The remaining $780,
100000 can be realized from the sale OF
their lands in the Manitoba country
alone. A company so situated is, Of
course, expected to do great things fol
the country and for commerce, but if il
does not prove ungTateful and hOggist
it will greatly surprise all who have
read the history of subsidized corpora
tiOns elsewhere.

Some time ago we stated that Lamb
lodged the payment of his tax in 1874,
amounting to 81 cents, on legal tech
nicality not larger than the trans
position of his initials, and allowed the
county to spend between 4 and 5 dollars
to find out that it could not be collected,
whereupon his meekness gets madden
than scorched hornet and says that
he lodged payment because his home
stead improvements were assessed.
Now we don't care which hole he crawls
out at, they are about equally honorable,
but the latter does not agree with return
>or report made by the sheriff at that time,
or the general understanding in regard
to it, and perhaps it would afford Mr..
Lamb pleasure to know that he is the
only man in Phillips county that ever
paid his tax that way, and there has
been about five hundred men similarly
assessed. Now while we are on this
subject, we would respectfully and
humbly ask Bro. Lamb what the coun-
ty debt would have been had your ex-
ample been followed by the balance Of
those who were assessed on homestead
improvements.

The HERALD of March 10Th copied
two bills for the same case, filed by
Lamb, of the Independent. At that
time we believed it only an unsuc-
cessful attempt to defraud the county,
but OH further investigation we find
that he collected the full amount of
his costs on the first bill at the July
meeting of the board, receiving there
fire warrant No. 555 and registered in
the Treasures Office September 18th,
1881, No 1856, and that on October g.,
1881, he again drew warrant No SO3,
Register No 1892, for 81 .S0the amount
claimed in his second bill. Now as
both of these orders are unpaid, we
suggest that an investigation is in or
der. Will the Lamb please rise and
explain how he happened to get $7.5O
as justice fees in the same case; or in
what case he was entitled to $3.50 wit
ness fees at the July session, 1881.
