California since the Minneapolis conven-

Pacific coast generally which gave him COM

A QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE.

Our railroad managers claim the right to
mortgage the railroads which they construct
to any amount they please. In other words
they build a railroad and issue as large an
amo unit Of bonds on that railroad as will
sell. In fact they issue the bonds before the
railroad Is constructed. Suppose railroad
should be bonded for double the amount
which it cost? Who says aught to such an
arrangement? There is no person to inter-
fere should the builders turn half OF the
bonds into their pockets. What the public
are particularly Interested in is to know
whether they must pay interest on all Of
these bends? We are. Informed that cer-
tain Judges decide that railroad managers
have right TO charge a fair amount owe
and above operating expenses. to pay inter-
est on all of the bonds thus issued. We be-
lieve that Mr.. Huntington claims that our
citizens must pay such freight rates on his
railroads as will include the interest on. all
of the bonds issued, no matter how large
the amount may be. This will soon become
more important question than it is at pres

would give S123,; 1854 Is as the amount paid: 10
the State Our contemporary proceeds to
show what this amount costs the people:
The railway company pays the State in
bulk cents a ton. 1t collects from the
public scents a package OF parcel OF less
weight than a ton. There might be hum
dred packages or parcels in ton, but prob
ably they would not average more than
twenty. This estimate would give parcels
an average weight OF 100 pounds. Now in
order TO get this scents a ton for the State
the public have been charged twenty times
cents. The State would get the 5 cents
and therailroad company would retain the
other % cents. It is. estimated that in the
year the railroad has collected S74S. 1i9 so in
excessof the amount it has paid into the
State treasury. Under the new rule the
charge Will be reduced to 1 cent package.
but even then the common carrier will re-
ceiye several thousands year more than it
will be required 10 pay to the State. Would
it not be better to abolish tolls entirely and
collect in the form of a property. tax the
money needed for harb0r improvements
Is there anything gained in the long run in
