Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railroads, and War Taxation Paternalistic control, even when entirely benevolent in intent, is generally harmful in effect. It is apt to be doubly so when, as sometimes occurs, it is punitive in intent. The history of our railroads in the last ten years is a case in point. In their early youth our railroads were allowed to grow up like spoiled, wilful, untamed children. They were given pretty nearly everything they asked for, and what they were not given freely they were apt to get somehow, anyhow. They fought amongst themselves and in doing so were liable to do harm to persons and objects in the neighborhood. They were overbearing and inconsiderate and did not show proper respect to their parent, i.e., the people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railways In an earlier book entitled The American Transporta tion Question, the author has discussed the railway prob lem of the United States as it presents itself if it be assumed that the policy of private ownership of railways is to be maintained. The present work has two purposes. One is to give information as to the comparative results of private and public ownership and management of rail ways in various leading and typical countries. Its other, and main, purpose is to try to direct serious consideration to the question of what in view of the experience of other countries with state ownership and management, and of the conditions existing in the United States would probably be the results of the adoption of government own ership and management of railways in this country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Often Overlooked Points Regarding Government Ownership of Railways: Address Delivered by Mr. Samuel O. Dunn, Editor of the Railway Age Gazette Before the Traffic Club of New England At intervals for a long time different men whose Views are of great weight have said that unless certain things were done, or others ceased to be done, in the United States government acquisition and operation of the rail ways would result. William J. Bryan, on returning in 1906 from a trip around the world, made a famous speech at Madison Square Garden, New York City, in which he announced himself in favor of government ownership of railroads. He believed that railroads partake so much of the nature of a monopoly that they must ultimately become public property and be managed by public officials in the interest of the whole community. Mr. Bryan's views were unanimously criticized and denounced by the Republican press; they met dissent and condemnation from most of the Democratic press; and it soon was evi dent that the press reﬂected public Opinion. Mr. Bryan himself was so convinced of this that when in 1908 he was nominated by the Democrats for president he said that he did not consider government ownership an issue in the impending campaign. But his opponents used his pronouncement against him; he was beaten; and doubt less it helped in his defeat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Public Utilities in the United States The purpose in writing the present book has been to analyze the factors involved in the question of Government ownership of public utilities. The writer tried to convey his conviction that the question of Government ownership of public utilities and especially railroads in the United States is essentially one not of railroad management and operation itself, but of general economics and politics. To his mind, Government ownership of public utilities means absolute Government control not only of the industries but also of the politics in the various States and in the Union generally. It means practically, if not formally, abolition of our democratic institutions and of the very spirit of democracy, and substitutes for the rule of the people, for the people, and by the people, an autocracy of the central government. It means abolition of the present division of the country into forty-eight sovereign and independent States, and reduction of the States to simple electral districts, as well as loss by the States of their rights to tax railroad properties within their boundaries as an exercise of their right of sovereignty. It means also forcing into politics our great corporations, and introducing a spirit of corruption and political subserviency at a time when the spirit of militant democracy is awakened in the land by the events of the past four years. It means also giving one of the most potent arguments into the hands of the extreme socialist groups and thus reinforcing the sinister cohorts of enemy and Bolshevist propaganda. The writer desires to make it perfectly clear that at no time does he wish to imply that advocates of Government ownership are harboring such intentions as abolishing the democratic institutions of this country or assisting the enemy in his vicious endeavor to disorganize and destroy our nation. In a matter of national life, however, it is not the intentions that count but the facts, and it is with facts and not intentions that the author of the present book has tried to deal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carrier Crisis: Plain Spoken Treatment of the Government Ownership of Railroads Issue, the Canal a Commercial Liberator The carrier issue is the biggest question the Ameri can people have to deal with. It is a question of such broadening scope that security points to the earliest possible settlement of the matter consistent with prudent national conduct. The proposal that the nation shall buy immunity from its Oppressors, or that we shall, as a people, do any thing akin to compromise with outlaw combines of predatory wealth, I hold to be nu-american. If we have lost control of public affairs, and have, as a people, surrendered the mastery of public conduct that an honest, intelligent and independent people by right own and enjoy, then may we play the weakling and talk of compromise. Believing, however, that a goodly majority of the voters of America have sense enough to know what isgood for themselves, honesty enough to be trusted alone with the ballot, and courage enough to spurn intimidation, I am convinced that the truth of the matter at issue, broadly diffused, constitutes the solvent remedy.
