i i Of the Railrond Question | llowing conversation, between | a railroad man and A citizen, briefly illustrates some of the main points in | the s called railroad controversy ad Official —*‘Why should not a railroad company be let alone to manage its business m its own way, the same as a merchant manages his business ! Do not commercial rules apply in both cases? 1Is it not a ques- tion of supply and demand, and com- }u‘,ll(inn‘. does not the merchant sell a arge quantity cheaper than he does a & nall quai tity, and everybody get all they can " Citizen,—“There are the following material differences in the situation The railroad corporation performs a public function—that of furnishing | public highways; it exists and can only | carry on its business by the permission of the public, hecause it is for public use and benefit;’ it is allowed to take o citizen's property at an appraised valu- | ’m..u, without his eonsent, something that no private person or business can do, and after the ital invested in building a railroad has rveceived a fair compensation, the rest of the advan- tages of steam roads belong to the pub ic, the natural owner of all high In one sense, railroad charters are in the nature of a_ partnership between the State and the corporations. The corporations build and operate rail- roads for the sake of charging certain tolls. In the State of New York, and 1 believe in most other States, it was expressly stipulated that these shall be ‘reasonable,’ and based upon the cost of the service rendered; the word ‘reasonable’ was defined as follow when the rates charged yielded in e: cess of ten per cent. net upon the a tual cost of construction, then rat might be lowered by law and the pub- lic receive their benefit in the part- nership in the shape of reduced rates for transportation. s agreement has been shamefully evaded by the railroads, and through stock-watering and other methods, the public has been obliged to pay far more than they ought for steam transportation on land. Regarding competitior., it does not work to the same extent in railroad transportation as it does in other lines of business. Combinations take place, a railroad is a na- tural monopoly; railroads cannot be multiplied indefinitely; every citizen cannot put his own car upon the rail- road track, the same as he can put his ship upon the ocean or his steamboat upon the river. The railroad isa common carrier, but there the simi- larity to the ship or steamboat ends. The public interest is not protected by cugnpctitiun as it is on the ocean or in private enterprises, lLence the ne- cessity for restrictions upon railroad companies Which are not required in private business.” Railroad Official. — “But prices for railroad transportation have declined faster and are mow proportionately lower than in most other countries. It does not look as if the public interest had suffered very much.” Citizen,—*“True, in many places rates have largely declined, but not nearly so much as they should have done. Reduced rates for transporta- tion have largely resulted from me- chanical improvements which have been made, and also from increase of business, the result of increased popu- lation. For instance, steel rails last- ing from three to six times as long as iron rails, now cost but little more than iron; locomotives haul from fifty to sixty per cent. more than they did ten years ago. Freight cars weighing ten tons a few years ago only carried ten tons, or a ton of paying freight for each ton of dead weight in roliing stock. ‘Improvements in these cars have been made until it is not uncom- mon for them to now carry a ton and a half, and sometimes two tons, for each ton of rolling stock. Clever in- ventions have enabled the supply of labor required in operating a road to De greatly reduced, and in many other ways improvements have been effe ed which ought to inure to the bene- fit of the public. Rates for railroad transportation in this country should be much less than in other countries because of these improvements, and the long hauls and cheaper construc- tion here; also the pub}iu aid in land (upwards of forty-sixmillions of acres), and subscriptions which haye been given.” Railroad Official, —“Why so? T don't see that the public has any right to these improvements and advan- tages, unless we choose to give them the benefit,” Citizen,—“There is where we dif- fer again; the theory of our patent law is that after the inventor has re- ceived a fair compensatien for his trouble, expense and genius, all the rest of the advantages belong to the {.ul)lic; and the theory of our railroad aw is that they are only entitled to a toll or charge which will yield them a fair return on the actual investment, and this toll must be uniform and im partial to all citizens,” Railroad Official. —Well, if the ground you t many men going business.” Citizen,.—“Won't we? What is the first incentive to the building of a railroad! Is it not very largely the desire of the people of a certain sec- tion to have better outlets to market, and the desire of owners of real estato to make their preperty more valuable by connecting with the larger lines of communication? Through these mo- tives have not state, county and mu- nicipal interests largely aided in the construction of these improved high- ways! Witness the millions of dollars which the people of the state of New York, as well as other states, have contributed for this purpose. Do you mean to tell me that the Vanderbilts, Goulds, and other high grabbers are entitled to any consideration for the invention and construction of hese improved highways! They have simply gone into the business because they saw that the benefits of steam and slectricity were s0 enormous that they could steal most of the advan- tages, and that the public would be ed with the rest. They saw that y consolidating and combining small and often competing links of railroad, they could organize a machinery for taxing all production and commerce, such as the world has never seen, and it is ouly after they have exercised this power to an extent which has given them fabulous wealth, and en- deavored to perpetuate the system, and rivet the fetters of a privileged kD that is e, you won't find into the railroad our elections and legislation, that the | people are beginning to wake up to a | ization of po ad road; true appreciation of the facts. at the history of the Harlem when Commodore Vanderbilt obtain the the ‘what drained of charging would bear’ has share of the profit far as citcumstances would permit his railrond ventures. years ago, milk to New York was 30 can; it was gradually only ple succeed in reducing it to'its ent price of 45 (as against an aver: of 20 conts for similar service else whe mous general incr i populs and values, property in West county along the line of that road,con was when Mr The reason may ubled rates above men than it reign began, found in the ¢ tioned. is much above what it could be dupli cated for to-day, and yet have been wrung from that section to make the stock $180 per share at the prosent time. “The Hudson River road runs No munerative, nor Harlem are exorbitant. ed possession of that road he doubled | corporate agar: the rates of freight, and on the prin- |adding somewhat to the power and | ciple of traftic lion's production throughout that entire region, and as he has pursued the same policy with all When he took possession of the Harlem road, twenty its stock was quoted at about €75 per share, and the rate of freight at that time for transporting cents per aised to 60, and after a great contest did the peo e).

The ownership and operation of railways by covernment in many of | the English colonies, as well as other countries, compare favorably with those 1n private hands, and “in wy opinion, the ery of ‘centralization of power’ is chiefly raised by those who seek to unduly tax the masses of the people for what ought to bo a public service. At any rate the interest of the individual citizen eries loudly for protection from extortionsby monopo- lies, whether gas, water, telegraph or ilrond corporations, and if relief can come only through government or re- volution, it will sooner or later coma.

I do not think it right that Mr. Van- derbilt should abrogate the natural ad- vantages of the contiguity of my prop- erty to this market by charging me higher proportionate rates of freight, and, indeed, he has no business to charge me or my neighbors upon any other than the ‘cost of service with a tair profit added thereto,’ and when T say a fair profit, I mean not more than ten per cent. upon the actual money Mr. Vanderbilt originally put into that road, and not upon watered stock, or stock issued to represent ‘surplus earnings,’” (which is really the people’s money) invested in extending or improving the road. ~ Such better- ments should be made with Mr. Van- derbilt’s own money, or money actual- ly subscribed for that purpose, and for which stock may legitimately be is- sued; and as regards the second part of your question, ‘Why the people do not go to the legislature and have the rates lowered,” I want to say to you that this is just what we propose to do. T say this with the full knowledge that you railroad men are sending lon sta votes of individual citizens are bought and sold almost as freely as any other merchandize; that you send every member of the legislature, before he takes his seat, a free pass, and that many influential politicians, editors and clergymen are shown the same ‘attentions’; even coroners and tax as- sessors along your lines being thus re- membered. I say it, knowing that the most eloquent advocates will appear at Albany to plead your cause; that men who are elected to the legislature in your interest, while nominally repre- senting that of the public, will secretly obstruct legislation, and trade their votes to serve you; that your ad- vertising patronage will be exerted upon newspapers and that shippers {will be provided with preferential rates to advocate a continuance of | the present system, which gives the favored few an advantage over their neighbors, and that where all these fail you will resort to direct bribery to aceomplish your ends, The task is 1 areat one, but in time it will be ac- | i complished. T believe that laws de- |1 | fining the public rights will be passed | by the Legislature of every State, and that the Congress of the United States will pass the Reagan bill, or some other honest bill for the regula- tion of inter-State commerce, and that executive bodies will be provided to supervise the operation of public highways, and sce that these laws are executed. *‘Either this, or the State will annul existing charte: and re- assume her function (which she has temporarily delegated) of furnishing public highways.” Railroad official.—*You would put politicians at work running railroads, would you, in the hopes of getting better and cheaper service than at present!”’ Citizen.—*‘No, that is not neces- sary; the State could own the railroads and lease them, under proper restric- tions, to associations to operate, as|. the State of Massachusetts has done, | % as the city of Cincinnati has done, and | { asthe Deminion of Canadaand other | governments Lave done, where roads | were wholly or partly owned, and the | control thus retained in the hands of the public.
