the

Supreme Court has recently decided that the Government is bound to pay interest on subsidy bonds, and

no'provision

panies

is made for reimburse

ment. exoept that when freighter passengers are carried for the Government, one-half the charges may be credited on advance. The subsidy bonds amount to $65,000,000, and the interest paid by the Government over and above freight charges is over $27,000,000, The Attorney General estimated that the railroad com-

would owe the Government

$200,000,000 at maturity of the bonds in about twenty years. All this will be lost-to the Government unless we now by law, secure indemnity. This is the object of the resolution, to save the

Governmnnt

from the loss

of $200,000,000. Fort offered a resolution declaring that the doctrine just enuncited by the House in the adoption pf a resolution offered by pason, is so wise and just that it should be followed
