GIVE UP CHARTER.
Speaker Introduces Bill Aimed at
r., F. & P. Railroad
Company.
PUT ON EQUALITY
Policy OF State to Destroy spc-
cial Privileges and
Burdens.
WOULD PUT ON EQUALITY

Inviting the Richmond. Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad to sur
render It's charter and incorporate
with the same rights and paying the
same taxes. as other railroads in the
State, and promising 1t immunity from
the special burdens imposed In It's
charter, Speaker Byrd introduced in
the House yesterday bill which is
intended to follow up the policy In
augurated by tho Speaker and by Mr..
Cooke. The bill went to the Committee
on Finance.
It will be recalled that feeling
against the peculiar situation of this
railroad was manifested upon the pas
sage of the bill allowing the move
ment of interstate freight trains on
Sunday. The House tackled on an
amendment requiring that any railroad
taking advantage of the provisions of
this act should by that act surrender
any exemption from taxation conferred
by it's charter. MIR. Cooke, In offering
the amendment. frankly said that he
intended to put such n rider on any
measure of that sort coming before the
House. Speaker Byrd. in a speech on
the floor, said such legislation should
be directed against this railroad until
it comes and voluntarily surrenders its
charter rights of immunity from all
sorts of taxes. The amendment was
promptly agreed to by the Senate.
The Byrd bill offered yesterday sets
forth that the Commonwealth is di-
rectly or indirectly the owner of or
possesses certain interest in stock or
securities of one or more of the rail-
roads OF the State. and that such COM
panies are subjected to certain requires
-
ments or restrictions. Furthermore, 1t
Is explicitly stated that the policy OF
the Commonwealth is to encourage the
voluntary surrender Of special excmp-
tons and to relieve such concerns from
special duties and burdens.
1t is therefore provided that any
such company may surrender its cnar-
ter and take out a new one similar to
those granted similar concerns by this
State, in which 1t has no proprietary
interest. Any company thus surren-
dering its charter shall be concluslvely
presumed to have given up any and
every exemption from taxation which
1t may have enjoyed by reason of Its
charter rights and by any of tho UNI
repealable features ofSits charter.

and at the same time the company is
of ali duties and burdens which
have been imposed upon it by Its pro-
visions. This Is taken to refer partly
to the feature In the charter Of the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac brought out Friday by tho Speaker /
during the debate. which compcIs the
railroad to stop anywhere along its
line to take on or to let off any passen-
