Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... that it is an agency of the sovereign--an instrument of state--might well, in the wisdom of the sovereign, lead to its absolute exemption from any other public burdens than such as necessarily attach to it. But if such an exemption would be no discrimination of which other property could complain, so an unfavorable discrimination by which it is burdened is not a ground upon which it can complain. But grant the power to make a discrimination, and the question of advantage or disadvantage becomes at once immaterial. Certain objections are made, however, to the classification contained in our Constitution, which I purpose now briefly to consider. It is urged, in the first place, that while the Constitution might have classified--and properly classi fied--the property essential to the operation of the road, yet if the classification extends to all the property of the railroad company, --as well that which is essential to the operation of the road as that which is not, --then the classification is vicious and void. This claim is put forward on the strength of the fact that this defendant owns certain lands, which are said to be farming and grazing lands, not connected with the operation of its railroad. I answer, that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company was never organized to go into the business of farming and grazing; that the framers of the Constitution cannot be supposed to have known that that corporation had transcended the limits of its charter to follow agricultural and pastoral pursuits. The only legitimate business of the corporation was and is to operate a railroad. To that all its property and all its actions must be made subservient. If it owns an office in the city of San Francisco in which its books are kept, its tickets sold,We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
