This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pacific Railroads and the Relations Existing Between Them and the Government of the United States Dear Sir: I understand that you have prepared a paper concerning the legal relations of the Union Pacific Railroad Company to the Government under the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. Not doubting from your connection with the enterprise in its incipient stages, and from the attention you have given to the subject to the present time, that your paper will be calculated to correct some prevailing misapprehensions, I trust it will find its way to the public. I have had no stock in the Company since my resignation as President ten years ago; nor have I been concerned in any way with its transactions, or any outside movements relating to it. But I regard it as one of the great enterprises of the age, the rapid accomplishment of which caused more astonishment in other countries than anything we have achieved, and as a larger contributor to our growth and prosperity than any one other cause. I do not doubt that it will continue to be so, whatever combinations may be formed by speculators in Wall Street to enhance or depress the market value of its stock. I did not, as you know, approve or assent to the Credit Mobilier contracts, which were made while I was in Europe; but this is a matter entirely apart from the legal relations of the Company to the Government. These should be understood by the whole community - not only for the purpose of removing misconception, by which the public mind is unjustly prejudiced, but to prevent legislative bodies, under the influence of the prevalent and not unnatural jealousy of large corporations, from being misled and hurried into ill-considered and unauthorized enactments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pacific Railroad: The Relations Existing Between It and the Government of the United States IT is impossible to discuss, intelligibly, the question of the relations between the government of the United States and the Pacific Railroad Companies, and of their respective legal obligations and rights, under and by virtue of the act incor porating said companies, without a full and careful considera tion of the condition of the country at the time of the passage of the bill and the amendments thereto, as nearly all the arguments urged in favor of or against the proposed measure were drawn from such condition, which was one of civil war threatening the very existence of the nation. All the mind and strength of the people of the North were put forth for self-preservation and the maintenance of their territorial unity. One of the means to this end was a railroad across the conti nent to unite its two great slopes. It was inaugurated, on the part of government, almost wholly as a military measure. The appropriations made to it were regarded as fully justified on such ground. Its construction was committed to a private company, or companies, for the reason of their greater compe teney to construct and manage works that were to be commer cial as well as military in their character. As the value of the road, for whatever purposes, would be shared equally by the nation, it was but just that its cost should, as far as necessary, be assessed equally upon the nation. All these considerations entered into and gave the peculiar form of language to the bill that was finally passed. Strange to say, these considerations are now almost wholly forgotten, and by none more so than by the government which inaugurated and supplied the means for the construction of the roads, and which is supposed to be always connusant of its acts in the past. But this very government now seeks to construe the law, not by reasons and conditions existing when it was enacted, but by those now existing, and which are wholly different. But the companies need not shun alegal contest. They can be compelled to do only what they agreed to do. Government was compe tent to make an outright gift of its bonds, if it chose - or to give credit for the interest, as well as principal, for the whole time the latter had to run. There is no privity between the holders of the bonds of the government and the railroad com pantes. The attorney-general unfortunately knows nothing of all this. He was not in a position to know any thing of the feeling or action of the North when the railroad bill became a law. He has, consequently, assumed both his law and his facts to support his conclusions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Relations Between the Central Pacific Railroad Company and the United States Government: Summary of Facts; 1889 The relations between the Central Pacific Railroad Com pany and the Government are twofold. There are legal obligations on either side, which are specified in the sev eral Acts of Congress; and there are equitable considera tions which are evident only on an examination of the history and the causes which led to the passage of the Acts. The legal obligations have recently been fully examined into and reported on by the United States Pacific Railway Commission, which was appointed by the President, pursuant to the Act of Congress approved March 3, 1887. Their report and the testimony on which it is based comprise nine printed volumes octavo, which, by its size, precludes its ready use. A summary of this report as to the Central Pacific will furnish in brief form a viewof the facts as to the legal obligations of the company and the United States under the several Acts of Congress, and Will show that they have been kept fully and in good faith by the company, but that they have not been com plied with in all respects by the United States.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Explorations for Pacific Railroads, 1853-1855 An episode in the development of the trans-mississippi West to which but scant attention has been given in any history is the Pacific railroad survey of 1853 - 1855. This great reconnais sance deserves attention as the first attempt of the government at a comprehensive, systematic examination of the vast region lying between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean. It is not intended to minimize in any way the labors of the fur-traders, the travelers, and the earlier government explorers, of whom Emory, Stansbury, and Sitgreaves must stand side by side with Fremont. Through their efforts there existed a good general knowledge of the West; but when it was proposed to locate a transcontinental railroad, the dearth of accurate scientific infor mation was well recognized. All preexisting knowledge was brought to bear upon a few routes which were advocated in definite plans. For that reason I have seen fit to discuss rather fully the different plans in order to show their intimate connec tion with the railroad explorations. My study has been based almost entirely upon the government documents, and an attempt has been made to study every document bearing upon the subject. The orthography of place names is usually that of the documents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Union Pacific Railway: A Study in Railway Politics, History, and Economics The work of the student of history has heretofore been confined almost wholly to the political, religious and liter ary development of peoples; their industrial development has been subjected to inexcusable neglect. Yet the pillars of the dominance of the anglo-saxon race are its superior industrial attributes. What a people accomplishes industrially and how it accomplishes it. Go far to determine how it will be governed, what it will think and feel, and what it will write. The freedom of the individual that was the product of the eighteenth century has been more emphatically man ifested in the field of industry than in any other field of human activity. The growth of constitutional government in England is easily traced to the want of harmony be tween the Old political status and the newly developed indus trial status of English society. The increasing tendency to submit international disputes to arbitration is attributable not so much to a more enlightened repugnance to warfare as to the mere human fear of destruction of wealth and interfer ence with industries occasioned by it. The Annapolis Con vention had its origin in the desire of the American states TO consider how far a uniform system in their commer Cial relations might be necessary to their common inter ests. The slavery question was largely an industrial ques tion, and its solution was industrial, not political or moral.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pacific Railroads: Argument of Creed Haymond Before Senate Committee, March 17th, 1888 For years charges have been loosely made against the directory of the Central Pacific Railroad Company charges involving the honor of the men comprising that directory. The majority report of the United States Pacific Rail way Commission, which the Senate has referred to you for consideration, and which you now have before you, when closely analyzed, vindicates, in the main, the integrity of the directors. It shows that the Central Pacific Railroad Company has faithfully kept all of its obligations, public and private; that toward the United States it has dis charged, to the letter and in the spirit, every duty imposed upon it by the Government, while, on the other hand, the Government has violated many of the obligations on its part to be performed. But the Commissioners seem to have been surprised that these things were so, and running through the majority report there is a vein of apology for having to state these truths; and to the casual reader of that report it does not constitute the vindication which, perhaps, the Commission intended it should.

R To the Honorable Committee on Pacific Railroads: The following is a brief of the points made and statistics presented for your consideration at the recent hearing on the Memorial of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company: Object Desired. We desire the Government to issue, for the benefit of the Northern Pacific Railroad, its bonds substantially in the form, and to a like amount per mile as has been conceded to the Central Pacific and the different branches of the Union Pacific Railroads. This concession is desired as a basis of credit to enable the Company to raise the funds wherewith to construct its road with the least practical delay. It is necessary that the Company shall have this aid to enable it to make available the resources secured by its original charter, and place it on a basis of equality with other similar corporations. Can the aid desired be Safely Conceded? To answer this question intelligently, the surrounding circumstances must be considered.
