Hon. Robt. P. Hunter is opposed
to the people taxing themselves for
the purpoee of helping rich corpora
tons build railroads. He is right.
The very fact of high taxation keeps
capital away from community, and
the benefits of railroad will not over
come this single drawback. If a rail
road will pay there are moneyed men
who will build it without help, and In
these days of intelligence and general
information it is getting to be a rare
thing for people to be humbugged in
to building railroads for soulless cor
porations.- [Colfax Chronicle.
