NATIONAL OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS.
Facts and Figures Which Show This to Be
the Only True Remedy.
BY THOMAS V. GATOR.

government ownership Of railroads
and telegraphs. Delay endangers the
existence of free institutions. ANY at
tempt to supervise and control them
effectually has proved and is impossible.
Control means an attemptby acts ofcOn-
gress and of legislatures to create COM
missions empowered to fix schedules Of
rates and tolls. These methods have
been conclusively demonstrated to be
impossible to execute. In our form Of
government, the final refuge of despot-
ism and monopoly is in the courts. The
courts have emphatically decided that
neither congress nor the states, by leg
islation or commission, can provide for
or put into operation any schedules of
rates or tolls, to bind railway, which
cannot be restrained by injunction, and
declared void, either by state or
United States court, if upon hearing,
such court deems it unreasonable. The
courts say that if the schedules fixed by
the power Of law are not, in the opin-
ion Of the court, reasonable, then it
amounts to a taking Of private prop
erty, for public use, without just com
pensation, and is forbidden by the con-
stitution Of the United States. This
has been decided by the supreme court
of the United States in the cases of
Stone VS.. The Farmers Company, 116
u. S. Rep. p. S07, and in Dow
vs.. Beidlman, 1875 U. S. Rep. p.
$50; also in United States cir
cult court, in 35 Fed. Rep, 880-8S6;
also by decisions of the courts of last
resort of many states, which are quoted
in the late case of Water Works VS.,
San Francisco, 50 Cal. Rep, p. 286,
where it was held that even where the
constitution empowered q board to fix
rates absolutely, it could be restrained
by the courts if it thought other and
higher rates proper.
The final absolute decision of our
courts, therefore, is that the power to
Gx rates is in the courts, and cannot be
placed elsewhere. What, then, is the
rule adopted by the c0urtsp 1t is this:
That the rates must pay--6rst, the in
terest on the railway debts; second, all
its operating expenses, and third, q
fair dividend on its capital stock.
What these sums amount to must be
determined by evidence, and the evil
dence is, first, the bonds and interest
bearing debt; second, the capital stock
as fixed or increased; third, the ex-
penses of operation shown by the books
of the company, because no one is in
position to disprove these books, even
if falsely kept, as to operating &C
counts.
This amounts, therefore, to allow
ing the company to fix its own
rates, despite and in defiance
of any attempt to regulate. So
if the Farmers Alliance were in pos
session Of every branch of government
in states and nation, it would be help
less to regulate or control railways.
Every law or schedule would be imme-
diately stayed by the injunction of q
court.
This was done when Judge Brewer,
by injunction, forbade the state of
Iowa to put its schedule of rates into
operation, at the suit of the Chicago &
The advocate., 1894-06-27

San Francisco on April A, 1892. When
he was asked what would be done if
any political action should be taken by
the Merchants Traffic association" to
compel a reduction of rates, his an
sWer was as follows:
81 viii say that the association may,
or may not draw the company into pol
itics. / think not; but if the legisla-
ture Of the state passes acts tending to
destroy the value of our property, we
shall have to call for protection upon
the judicial arm Of the government" "
This proves that hencefOrth the
above doctrine established by the court
is to be the shield of monopOlies. They
can increase stock and bonds at pleas
ure. So that no income would be so
large but they could show that it was
required to pay interest, operating ex-
penses and dividends. They have the
supreme court Of the United States
committed to this doctrine. These
judges hold Office for life or good be-
haViOr. Are we to permit puplic com
mon carriers to lay the producer under
tribute for all time, by fixing their own
rates, by taking ''all the traffic will
bearP"
The railway has become the great
highway Of nations. The producer
must have railroads, more and more of
them, of the greatest efficiency, and
operated at the least proper cost. 1t is
function Of government to own and
control all public highways. Cor
pOrations which own railroads and
seek the largest possible diVi'
dends cannot be trustees for the
people, They simply seek their own
profit. How then can the public con.
troll them without owning themP II
is idle to say you will favor ownership
by the government if control fails, be-
cause every effort to control them has,
and Of necessity must fail, until the
people own and operate them. How
can you expect to join such incOnsist-
ent things as private ownership and
public controlp The right to control,
to fix rates, is the very essence Of prop
erty and ownership. He who cannot
control, does not in fact own property
If we seek by boards, commissions
legislatures, congresses or courts, to
frame methods and sources to cOntrol
railroads, the inevitable law of self
interest will Immediately induce the
owner to own all these boards Of con
troll, by which, as we have seen, al
such commissions, legislatures, con
crosses and courts are elected, packed
OWNED by that monopoly. So thai
railroads may say, as did Louis XIV
in the supremacy of his despOtism, 81
am the state" They are the state
They are the government, because
those who own must control or perish
Here, then, is an "irrepressible con
flict," continuous in its nature. Lin
coin said we could not live half slave
and half free. So we cannot live and
control government, unless we remove
the incentive of railroads to control
our government, and there is but one
way to do this-we must own the rail
roads or be owned by them. There is
no middle ground. Experience has al
raodv nrovan what an inAVitable law
