press am open letter 10 the attorney-gen-
eral oi the United States, charging the
Union Pacific kailroad company with
llagrant violation of the law. The attor-
ney-general charges that al various times
from 1871 io lSsS the Union Pacific. in vio-
latiou of the act of congress of 1871, and
without the consent of congress. has given
guarantees 20 numerous railroad enterprises
amounting 10 about 81 l.OO0,OO0 annually,
II Is stated that the Union Pacific proposes
10 continue this policy by issuing and
guaranteeing the Denver a South Park
railroad bonds TO the amount Of over 81,
00D, 000. although that corporation does not
earn its operating expenses. II is charged
further that iho Union Pacific directors
have used the assets and earnings of the
company To partly construct rival roads,
consisting of the Oregon Railway a Naviga-
tion company, the Oregon Short Line and
The Denver A Fort Worth railroad. and the
attorney general suggests that the object of
this may bo 10 render the governments lien
on the Union Pacific valucless, should the
government he forced To take foreclosure
proceedings. II is further alleged that
S9.0o0,0N have been paid on land grant
bonds from The earnings Of the road, in
stead uf from the proceeds Of the land
grant sales In view of these facts the at
torney- general asks what reason there is 10
expect that the men who control the
Union Pacific will not violate the
proposed new act. and he strongly
protests against the proposed legislation
as involving grave wrong and injustice
both 10 the government and 10 the people.
It's effect, he declares, would he Ia rob the
government Of n large amount of property
due H. MS well IA all security for the final
repayment Of the principal. while il would
entail upon the people for generations 10
