The creditors (including the Govern- ment) are protected not only by principles of 6 equity but by the individual liability of its stock- holders. It was built and completed by the Contract and Finance Company, a corporation, composed of the same four. Men who owned the road, and who at its completion in 1869 divided not less than $40, 000, - 000, as the profits of construction over and above its cost and before any practical returns were re- ceived on account of operation. By thus diverting $4...0, 000, 000 which should have gone to pay the debts of this Company these men have been en- abled to dominate the people of the country and have used the means thus illegitimately obtained to assist in building up their enormous fortunes. . Out of this money and the earnings of the Cen- tral Pacific they have built the Southern Pacific, its tributaries and its branches. They have stocked the same with the best of the rolling stock belong- ing to the Central Pacific, and have resorted to every means possible to leave the last-named com- pany in a bankrupt"andjjcrippled condition.
