Of the grant from Bismarck to the Pacific

Nc. VOORHEES, favored the house bill, de-
slsrh,G There were high reasons IL pubic
a ,licy lshy the land grant of the Northern
Pacific company should he taken from it's
control as far as this could legally be done
lie pictured what he characterized as the
oppression of the railroad COMPANY as
practiced in Washington Territory, assert
Jog that IL dictated the laws relating to
railroad taxation and set at defiance every
legislative action OF the people. Thu his
tory OF the company was u chapter of
broken promises, misrepresentation and
double-dealing.

IN opposition 10 the house bill. which he
said was based upon a nischievous and
misleading misc9nstrEction OF the granting
act.
