Not Business But Plunder-

The railroads of Nebraska went to
court to seek decree multiplying the
rates made by the board Of railroad com
mlssioners for that state. They got the
relief that they were after. Railroads
are apt to get almost anything they.seek
at the hands Of either Legislatures or
courts. The court made use OF the fol.
lowing language: "It road cost $40, q.
600 a mile to build and is stocked and
bonded for $4,000 q mile, it's freight
rates may be based upon it's capitahzs-
tiop, not it's cost and courts must still
construe them as reasonable"
This is certainly the boldest declara.
tion OF purpose to aid the railroad mo
nopoly in plundering the people that
has ever come from an American court.
Here we have judicial decision that q
railroad company that has built and
equipped road for $4,000 and then
Issued wstersd stock to the tune Of $780,.
600 per mile, and distributed the money
among the stockholders, has the legal
right to compel the public to pay diVi-
dends upon the whole ospitsliz alton and
the people have no right to protect them
selves. IL that is good law then in the
name Of consistency, let as repeal the
laws against burglary, pocket picking
and all other tffenses against the rights
of property. Let it be a free fight and
every fellow steal all he can. TIE thing
is 81 monstrous that even one Of our
best known AID most rampant capital
istic papers cannot swallow it. 1t "hRs
q good big swallow, but cannot swallow
that" and says: "Tf this be law it 10 Of
q kind that makes judges odious and |
causes the people to be dissatisfied with |
the institutions Of the country in which |
they live. 1t is Of the sort that breeds
disrespect for the law and tempts those
OF the weaker consciences to violate it.
But it cannot be good law. Such de |
cision is not in accordance with the dio.
tstes Of common sense. Therefore it is
bad law. Statutory law is supposed to
be written common sense, which this
decision is not. Bogus capital, such a0
10 sought to be collected on In Nebraska,
does not stand on the same level as real
capital, and any court that decides other
wise runs counter to the interests Of the
people and their legal rights under the
common law which those courts are
,hosen to interpret and administer."-
