terms without the consent of the
grantee"
This just principle has received the
unqualified sanction of the Supreme
Court of the United States in cases too
numerous to mention. Mr. Justice
Davis. OF this court. in delivering the
opinion in the birmingham Bridge
Case" Wall. 81, uses the following
language:
Ihe constitutional right of one Leg
islature to grant corporate privileges
and franchises so as to bind and con-
cludc succeeding one, has been de-
MED. We have supposed. If anything
was settled by an unbroken course of
decisions In the Federal and State
courts, 1t was. that an act of incorpo-
ration was Il contract between the
State and the stockholders. All courts
at this day are estopped from uues-
tioning the doctrine. The security of
property rests upon il, and every sue
cessful enterprise IS undertaken In the
unshaken belief that 1t will never he
forsaken.
"A departure from 1t now would in
volve dangers to society that can not
be foreseen: would shock the sense of
Justice of the country, unhinge its bus
mess interests, and weaken If not de-
stroy, that respect which has always
been felt for the judicial department
oil the Government. An attempt to
even reafiirm it could only tend to
lessen It's force and obligation. 1t re-
ceived it's ablest exposition In the case
OF Dartmouth College V. Woodward.
Wheat 5lS which case has ever since
been considered landmark by the
profession, and no court has since
disregarded the doctrine that the char
ters of private corporations are con-
tracts protected from invasion by the
Constitution of the United States. And
1t has since so often received the
solemn sanction of this court that II
would unnecessarily lengthen this
opinion to refer to the cases, or even
enumeratc them"

that before black man votes to dis

find out upon what basis his own right
stands for If we deny TO the Filipino
the right to govern himself. what
right have we to govern ourselves. 1t
costs hundreds of thousands OF lives
and millions of money to give the
