And the county was further compelled to pay the remaining $150,000, whenever the railroad company levied assessments, in amounts not exceeding fifteen per cent. of the total sum to be subscribed. There is not a single clause or guard in the law for the county, and the worst of it is that the railroad only existed on paper, not a particle of work ever having been done on it, and the county was compélled by law to issue $80,000 before anything was done, Not a single taxpayer of the county had a chance to vote upon the question; and this law went still further, It provides; Any member of the said Board of ter in office, arid every county officer of said eounty now or hereafter in office, charged with duties under this act, who shall wilfully fail, neglect or refuse to perform any duties imposed upon him by this act, or to do any ee tetera pepe and on conviction thereof by a fine of $500, and be removed from office,and shall in. addition thereto, be liable ,for all damages sustained by any party from his or their failure.

We know that there were.earnest. protests made against bers, too, including, if we. mistake not, the Senator from Napa, but they were as unheeded by the majority as the idle wind. It sounds very stupid to talk of the economy of a Legislature that voted with such hasty greed to give: away millions of the people’s money to a railway cortain counties, and whose chief boast on that ground is that it put down the State-taxes to 85 <cents-on the fixed’ at 75 cents without fear of a deficiency; and mofe especially when @ prior administration had made any reduction at all possible. -Let us hear no more on this sickly scdre: The people are not the silly fools shallow demagogues take them to be.

He said: ; There is a er more ing, because more subtle, aires the stealthy prisoner, creeping in the dark—the corrupting power of money in shaping legislation and controlling political action. For us. this question of subsidy and anti-subsidy has 4 far broader significance than any partial application would assign toit: It meaas purity of legislation; it means integrity of Courts; it means the sacredness of private rights; it means that whatever a man has, whether it bé broad acres or a narrow home, whatever he has acquired by his industry and enterprise; is his—his though he stand in a minorike one; his against the power of e world. No majority, no legislatfon, however potent, can make a private wro a public right. It means this: ‘Shall this Gicaranset be and remain a mighty agency of civilization , the protector of all; or shall it be run as.a close corporation, to eurich the few?
