Excerpt from The Central Pacific R. R. Debt: California's Remonstrance Against Refunding It
Members of Congress should also be informed that the Pacific Improvement Company (commonly written P. I. Co.) is another of the Protean corporate forms under which these railroad managers mask their operations, just as the Western Development Company was before it, and the Contract and Finance Company before it in turn; continually changing in name, ever the same in fact.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the extension of a debt owed by the Central Pacific Railroad Company to the US government. The author contends that the company has deliberately misrepresented their financial status, and are in fact more than capable of repaying their debt without the extension. The author also presents evidence of blatant fraud and manipulation by the companies' management, with the intent to drive rival businesses out of the industry. Central Pacific's manipulative practices not only destroyed competition and increased costs for consumers, but also destabilized the California state government. Drawing on financial reports, transcripts of court cases, and other documentation, the author argues that this debt extension would be an unjust reward for corporate corruption, at the expense of justice and the interests of the American people.
