.THE FUTILE EFFORTS OF RAILROAD PROMOTERS
no FORCE SUBSIDIES FROM LEGISLATURE OF
MONTANA TERRITORY 1M THE LATE SEVENTIES

I people of Montana, and the roads re
quest was never seriously considered
! by the territorial legislature. Jay
4 Cooke, famous for his financial col
lapse, had been the Northern Pac-
flies first promoter in the financial
world.
Some of the troubles unese rail
roads brought upon themselves were
due not so much to the lack of COW
eted subsidies, but rather to the ar
rant misconduct of those who were
in the construction rings. The Nor
thern Pacific was operated for years
over long stretches of lines in Mon
tana which were hopelessly distant
from the states center of traffic and
tonnage. That the road ultimately
went into bankruptcy was not
strange; rather the wonder that it
was able so long to keep its chin
above the waters of disaster.
AS for the state government, it
had no obligations and was not ev-
en- remotely related to the fortunes
good or i'll, of the railroads treas
ury There was a good-sized contro-
versy of public moment, however,
that was kept up for long time. 1t
involved the states title to the min
eral domain. During several years
this was a rather lively ISSUE Ulti-
mately it reached the supreme court
at Washington. The state won and
thenceforth there were no quarrels
over railroads in Montana.
