LOOMIS ON PEOPLE AND THE RAILROADS Union Pacific Official Thinks Ma- jority Oppose Government Own- ership of the Lines. URGES FAIR, MUTUAL ATTITUDE FREMONT, April 22.—(Special., N. H. Loomis, geenral solicitor of the Union Pacific, was the principal speaker this afternoon at the meet- ing of Group No. 2 of the Nebraska State Bankers’ association. Discuss- ing the subject, “The Rallroads and the People,” Mr. Loomis said: Raflroads and Development. The development ot our country has followed the building of railroads. Here in _our own state of Nabraska the splen- did growth is largely attributible to the extension of railroads In every direction over dur fertile prairies. Without rail- roads it would have been years before the entire Transmissouri Country was brought under cultivation. ~Here, as in every other part of the United States, the demand for raflroads in the past was insistent, 80 much 8o that the people permitted their construction upon al- most any terms. This indiscriminate appeal for means of transportation, as the indispensable fac- tor in developing the country, naturally Jed to abuses, such as rate discrimina- tions, the free pass, and improper exer- cise of political influence. I am not will- ing to admit, however, that the rajlroads were alone responsible for these condi- tions. Rather, the conditions were the natural outgrowth of the existing order and the people must assume their fair share, therefore, of the cupability. Rallroads Act Velunt y. In time, of course, these conditions brought their own corrections) While the state was providing its regulation of railroads. the railroads themselves were busy making voluntary changes and im- And the railroads are con- tinuing to make these improvements vol- untarlly, both in the physical condition of the properties as well as their opera- tion for the benefit of the public, and it is only fair that the public should not lose sight of this. The raliroads do not claim or predict perfection In operation or service, but simply a persistent aim at the ideal. And as {o these “irregular practices” of a few years ago, they have been stamped out by public sentiment, legislative enactment and the raliroads themselves, never to be revived or repeated if any radical or fundamental change in | governmental regulation of railroads is to " be made It must mean government owner- ship, for that is the only step in the course of events that has not vet been | taken—that is all that is left. If govern | ment regulation fails, government owner- ship, T say, is the remedy tion' with government regulation should become general, then government owner- | ship is liable to follow. Only one thin can prevent it, namely, the opposition o the = thoughtful, conservative people thoroughly alert to the possibilities of the situation Majority Opposed to It. 1 have not the time to discuss the rela- tive merits of private and public owner- |ship. 1 believe a large majority of the people of the country feel that it would not be best to turn the rallroads over to the government and 1 assume that most of my audience this afternoon feel that Way. While realizing and frankly admittin that the success or fallure of governmen regulation depends largely ov :he attitude of the railroads themselves, it must also be admitted that the same A _true as to he attitude of the public Now, as to 1 shall not discuss the present de- mands for increases, but I do maintain that the requests of the ral s should | not be looked upon with disfavor. When | ings materially fall off and railroads cannot_pay interest and dividends, then thelr tuture depends entirely ‘upon the willingness of the law-ablding power to grant increases in rate Plea for Generosity. 1 plead for a broad, generous attitude on |the part of the public toward the rafl- roads, not forgetting, however, that the | rallroads should bear the same attitude toward the public and co-operate in the | enforcement of reasonable rules.for the correction of mbuses, the protection of public rights and the efficiency of public service.
