The hoodlums have elected lot of rep
resenatives who are without brains or
money, and these men are just now
trying to pass laws giving railroad cor.
porations no right to exist. They are
as wide Of public interests as they are
wild in their reasonings. They are
lot Of ssndlot agitators who don't
know the first principles OF political or
financial economy. They forget that
without the aid of money to build rail-
roads and to work their mines they
would yet he living in wilderness,
that California and the entire West
and Southwest owe what they are to
the energy and enterprise Of the men
who have risEed their money to build
them up. It is but reasonable to ex-
pect that some profit must accrue to
persons who take these chances. The
Central Prolific Railroad has done more
to build up the West than can be es-
TINA. ed in dollars and cents.
