ba correct, tho only effect of the alieration i {ko chavters of the companies was 1o de- prive thom of thelr common.daw right of ohtrining reasoneble remunerstion for their terviees o3 common emriors, In Honvoxn 78, LxyaN, the socond erso in the Hupremo Courl of tho United States reforved to hy s-Justico Ryay, it is suidl:s “Vested 1s, it is coneedod, cannot bo destroyed or prafred under such o roserve power, but it ia cleny that the powor mny bo oxercieed Lo aly auy oxtont {o casry into effeot the orizinnl purposes of tho grant, nud fo vruiect tho vights of tho public and the corporators, or to promote tho duo administration of tho afiaira of the cor- poration,” In omrasson s, Jessur, %o uamo Court observed: ‘“'Tho reservation uifects tho entire velation Letween the Stato end the corporation, nud places nnder logis- Iative control all rights, privileges, rnd jm- ities dexived direelly from the Hlate, Riglts nequired by third partics, and which have become vested, under the charter, in tho leglslative exoreino of it powers, stand npon a diffevent footing. . . . . The Stato does not contend for a power to revoke e contracts of the corporation with other pavtiss, orto impair any right thevein nc. qQuircd.” Trom tho few extracts here mado, it would scem certninly that tho Supreme Comvt inclines to the doctrine: 1. That the power to altor is corlainly limited. 2, et it ean bo exercised only to enrry into effect tho original purpose of tho grant, se- care Jhe Aue ndministration of tho affairs of the corporation, and to preservo the rights of alders and cf ereditors, f-Justics Smaw, of Mrssnohusetis, con- straing tho same powor over charters, rnys, 18 Caay, 29 It ecems to us thet the ¢ must have somo limit, though it is difticolt to define it. Supposo an suthorify tion to purchase a lot of land for purposes connested with its business ; could the Legis- Ialnro prolibit tho company from holding it? If s, in whom should it vest? Or could $he Legisloturo direct it Lo revest in the r or eschent to the publie? , . . ‘tho r:de to be extracted is this: that where, under power in n- charter, rights havo Been sequived snd beeomo vested, no avteniment or alterntion of the char- ter ema tako nwey the property or rights whicl: havo beeomo vested under o legitimato of the powers granted.,” There aro numerdus other eases in which the Courts havoe rofused to say whet was the limit of the resevved power {o alter the charters of cor- poraticns, but in which they have intimated thab thero is such o limit, Thero is no de- ocision, wo believe, except this ono of Chief- Justico Ryaw, in which it is held that the right {9 elter is without limit, or with no other limit than this: that a corporate cherter of one kind c:mnot be alterad tona charter of o totdlly difforent kind, ‘'Thus, while previows to {hat decision there was much said by the most respectablo Courts in the land in favor of a limitation of’ tho resorved power over corporations, thore was nothiny; snid favoring the view that the power imited. Tho views of the Supremo the United States in the eases abovo ted seam to uy infinitely prefernblo to the ry ones of Chief Justice Ryaw, and wo wonder why ho did not adopt them. It is true that courts rre not the judges divectly of the rensonebicness of legislative enactments ; but they ere tho judges whether such cnnet- ments deprive any person of life, liborty, or properly, without * due process of law."” The Wisconsin Supreme Court will not allow that tho Stato cen deprive the sevporstors of their ‘“mmterial properly” In ihoir railways; at the same time it holds that thoy moy be compelled to run their voads at such rates of favo and f{reight that they skell not ba nble {o pay n reasonable interest on tieir bonded debt. What is this but giv- ingt creditors the power to deprive them property by forcclosura or othor- wise? What ia it but mnking their “mate- rial preperty ® useless?
