Mr.. pa.tanSall. in order that the sup

Legislatures and Corporations.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
"Eightfully, there should be neither
secret favors nor selfish hostlities in
the relations between legislative bodies
and the railroads. As representatives
OF the people it is the function of legis-
lators TO look to public interests, but
this duty does not include a spirit Of
settled antagoniSin TO any reputable
form of business activity. What rail-
roads want and what legislatures
should grant is a matter to be studied
in the light of the welfare of the peo-
pie and of fairness to methods of
transportation. Within much less than
a century railroads have become %
great feature in the affairs of all Am
crican communities. Railroad mile
age in the United states exceeds by
far that in any other continent. 1t in
timately touches trade and social in
upon without occasion, nor allowed
to exercise power to which it has
no just claim. Tie feeling between the
people and the railroads ought to be
friendly, without any impairment of
popular sovereignty or any tendency
to be governed by prejudice or mere
obstinacy."
This is just as true in dealing with
other industrial interests. Legislators
should not blindly oppose the demands
for this and for that on the ground
that men combine and plot TO rob
the State and the people. But law
makers should carefully investigate the
nearing and the scope of even the
most innocent looking bill, before Civ
ing away valuable rights or laying the
foundation for oppression and litiga-
ton in the future.
How many of the Maine legislators
have any conception of the territory
covered by Senator Donigan's "Moxie
Dam" bill? Taking that measure as
a case in point, what do the members,
as a rule. understand the object of
that company to be? How many Of
them ever stood on the heights of
Moxie mountain, Bald mountain. Mos
quito mountain or Pleasant Pond
mountain, and looked down upon this

Dimocks, the Robinsons. and other
ponds, with the network of interesting
streams and brooks, and wealth of
lumber. both hard and soft on the
countless ridges-and have thought
what it would mean to place all this
within the grasp of one controlling
hand? In this glorious branch of the
kennebec valley gre great industrial
and agricultural Riches. The Somerset
has opened it up and now
another hand would grasp all indus
trial rights ahead of the possible set
tier. How many of the legislators
know what the raising of Moxie wa
tiers would destroy along the vast
Moxie Bog, III the way of timber?
What would it do to the Somerset ex-
tension property at Dead Water?
The measure referred to may be just
as innocent as it looks. but do they
know that it is? There may not be
L point worth considering in the above
suggestions when sifted. but the pos
'ibility that there is is worth investi-
rating. if the law makers would do
heir duty. Where there is a ques-
ion 1t is the law makers duty to give
heir State the benefit of the doubt.
II Is far better to legislate not at all
Than to legislate unwisely.
