Show DESIRE A CHANGE. Objectors, However, a Year Behind on Utah Railroad Law. Tho SL Louis Globe-Doniocrat contains a special dispatch from New Y6rk, dated March 22, which says: "There was talk this evening of a protective pro-tective committee of Union Pacific stockholders stock-holders to Inves-tlKale the propert and thc Ilarrlman management. Not that It is believed anything 1 1 legal has been done, but ll Is felt the stockholders have more rights than the officials are allowing them. Besides, It Is believed the Investigation Investi-gation will show that control rests elsewhere else-where thnn In the hands of E. II. Ilarrlman Ilar-rlman and his frlende, and an apneal may bo made to the laws of Utah, under which tho company is organized, to put the real owners in control. That law permits tho ousting of a minority management on thirty days' notice." Nit! The lnws of Utah may have provided pro-vided for such quick action last year, but not this season. Mnnv sections of the law relating to railroads wore repealed re-pealed at the recent session of the Utah Legislature, and a special law was enacted en-acted whereby It will take parties three, vears or more to s,ecure control of tho Union Pacific or any other railroad, as directors arc hereafter to be elected for throe yearn each, one-third for one year, one-third for two years, and one-third for threo years, nt the first, and thereafter one-third for three years with regularity. |
