The fundamental idea of a corporation is that it exercises a governmental power. and so long as you extend the scope of that power in the hands of people who have no direct interest in the welIre of the state. you give them a greater or less share in the Government. You increase an influence which is detrimental to the welfare of the people of the state. a power which is careless as to their morals and liberties or as my friend from New Jersey so eloquently and tersely says. "By this process we are mortgaging the future in order to make paltry gains in the present." I know. Mr. Speaker. the anxiety which new States have for acquiring immigration. It is a natural anxiety. They desire population.
