JUDGE AGNEW'S OPINION OR ITS ILLEGALIT ¥Y, To the Editor of the Press: Sir: The subject of the ‘ ‘purchase’ of | the Sou'h Pennsylvania Railroad by the | backs and other discrimination and preferences in furnishing ears and mo tive power are all forbidden. Sec. 8 Art. 17. Free passes and passes ut a discount are forbidden, Sec. 6. Art, 16. No corporation can engage in business other than that express ly authorized by its charter nor can it pur. chase real estate except for its legiti- mate business, Suc. 3. Art. 16, The General Assem- bly cannot be prevented from takiog the properly or franchises of corpora- tions for public use the same as the pro: perty of individuals, Sec, 2, Art. 16. The General Assem- bly cannot remis the forfeiture of the charter of existing corporations; Janu ary 1. 1874 Sec. 10, Art. 16. The power to alter, revoke and annul injurious charters is fully reserved, These provisions taken together make tubs parent the intention of the people to hold corporations in subjection to State power, and abolish all devices whereby the public interests may be injured by corporate sction. In full view of this clear intent no impartial Judge dare, by indirection or otherwise support the attempt of the Pennsylvan- ia Railroad Company to monopolize the carrying power of the State by purchase control or any other means of a compet- ing road or route. The South Pennsyl- vania route is one of infinite importance to the public interests at large, and to the Southern and Western part of the State in particular. These portions of the State are entitled to the competition which the protection and policy of the State aor In no form, therefore can a competing road destroy its utility, Dissolution of the South Penusylvan- ia corporation will produce this result. Let us see how it works.

When disclosure is made the court must de- | clare the evasion illegal and void, The! treaty between the Pennsylvania aod New York roads is notorious, and will | compel inquiry, and there are creditors and stockholders to set the proeseding in motion, Again it may be said that the Penn- sylvania railroad company, not having i accepted the new Constitution, may purchase control under laws existing before the adoption of the Copstitu tion. This is a mistake. The Pennsy! vania Railroad Company is bound bLy the terms of the new constitution just As every citizen or person in the state is, unless it be ir a right distinetly con ferred by its own charter. Against the State it can set up only a eontract- right preserved by its own charter. All laws repugnant to the terms of the new Conslitution were abrogated by its adoption as to every corporation which cannot set out a charter provision to save the power conferred by the repug- nant law. Additionally by express terms the police power of the State is perserved in all its length and bread) See Section 3, Article 16. Beside these, the entire policy of the State is opposed to such a purchase or control of a competing route, View to- gether the following provisions of the Constitution: Bec. 1, Art. 17. All railroads and canals shall be public highways and the companies common carriers, Sec, 3, Art. 17.
