I ant interested In Montana, as I am to
be identified with her interests, and having
seen and been made to feel the effects of
robbing a j»eople of their capital to build

in onerous tax of freight charges, based on
fictitious capital, to carry produce to «lis

they are worse titan poison to any people

onerous tl»e people can ihen invest their

dent. As each was called ujton by the
Clerk to vote, they explained :
Hays said he was at first disposed to con
sider tiie railroad bill a huge joke, butas it
had occupied tiie time of the other House so
long and had finally passed that body, it
xx its now Itefore us in its enormous reality.
He xxas opposed to exemption of all kinds
and wanted all species of property to I »ear
its share of taxation. lie represented in
this Council 1,094 school children, whom
he would be ashamed to look in tiie fare if
he should x'ofe lor a bill that would impair
their future inheritance and deprive them
of the benefits that a general school tax
would bring them and their successors in
after years.
Conrad, of Choteaii, said that "he had
heard that it xxa^ cheaper to haul stilt on
ox teams along the side of this railroad
than it was to ship by the road. It (the
bill) provides If the company set up its rec
ords as prima facia evidence, we may b»'ing
in rebutting evidence against a company
that owes the Government S48.000.000 finit
it cannot collect, and on which it xvill not
credit fifty j»er centof Government freights,
and that" had controlled all the talent of
Congress." [The above is condensed from
a half hour's speech by Mr. Conrad.]
There is more honesty and reason in
exery sentence of Mr. Conrad's remarks
than is contained in all that lias been said
in litx'or of railroad exemption.
