The RAILROAD DISTRICTS

The Capital News Monday evening
says:
The Caldwell Tribune has taken up
the cudgal against railway districts,
but unfortunately for that paper, it
cites cases which do not bear out its
contention and which do not apply to
the Idaho law.
Among the states alleged to save
been impoverished by going into the
railroad business, Indiana is men
toned. The writer happens to re-
member some of the Indiana cases. In
the first place Indiana was never per-
mitted to engage in the railway bust
ness. There was a law, which may
still be in existence for aught the
writer knows, which permitted town
ships and counties to vote aid to rail-
ways being built by others. Instanc-
es may be shown wherein hardship
was worked through frauds perpetrat-
ed upon the people, but in general
communities received more benefit
than enough to compensate them for
their donations"
1t makes little difference as to the
exact method of building railroads.
Whether it is done by extending the
credit of the community, donations, OF
by going directly into the business, the
object is the same, i to promote and
build roads that private capital other.
wise would not touch. In the states
of Indiana and Missouri the people
were permitted to bond themselves fol
the purpose of helping railroads. II
the state of Idaho the people are per
mitted to bond themselves to builc
railroads. In the former states
sleek, shrewd promoters convinced tht
people of the inestimable value of the
roads. In Idaho the same thing viii
happen, unless the law is declared un
constitutional, which will surely hap
pen. The idea of the people mortgag
ing their property to go into a bust
ness of which they know nothing
which they are incapable of managing
successfully; and which is either i'm
practical or cannot be proftabl
worked, is in our opinion the height
of folly.

women to compete with men i'll every
