transition may be accomplished by the
government taking charge Of transpor-
tation, and Itself discharging that public
duty. Certainly that would be the sim
plest, and-fOr the courts, at least-the
easiest solution of the problem which
now impends; for by the purchase or con-
demnatiOn, and in a single transaction
the State, paying simply the actual value
OF the property invested In transporta-
ton, would have the same control that
the national government has over the
pOstOfilce system, and could prescribe
such rates as 1t saw At, making good by
general taxation any loss. But, as S10,-
O00,00O,000 are invested in the business
Of railroad transportation, the public
may be reluctant to incur such indebt-
edness, and seek to accomplish the same
result OF uniformity Of rates by means
Of legislation similar to that before us.

Now, in the carrying on Of any private
enterprise, increase OF business with in
crease Of profits is stimulating thought
and for this every variety OF action is
taken. Advertisement, solicitation, in
ducement, favOrs, are all freely resOrted
to, but with the single purpose OF larger
business and greater gain. It Is not
strange that in the carrying on OF trans
portatlon all the characteristics of other
kinds Of business are found.
1T is obvious that, In the matter of
transportation, we are In an experiment
tai or transitional stage At first, trans
portatiOn was a mere private business,
and managed as such. Now there rs a
growing conviction that the best inter
ests of the people will be subserved by
changing 1t from a business to a system.
l say experimental or transitional, for
experience may satisfy that the change
is not wise, and that it is better to con-
tinue transportation as a business, leav-
ing to the interest of those engaged
therein to determine how 1t shall be
managed, and giving them the power to
build up, as counsel has suggested, in
dustries and towns here and there.
"Or 1t may be that experience will only
make more imperative the present de-
mand that transportation shall be q sys-
tenn, with absolute certainty and uni
fOrmity Of rates, in which case the
change will be made, and this will be re-
garded as the transitional era. The

expenses exceeded the revenues the COM

with uniform rates and equal facili-
ties, all places and persons are served,
and the system is improved, and the fa-
cilities for carrying and distribution are
multiplied and bettered, as extensively
and as rapidly as Congress, in it's judg
ment, deems for the best interest of the
whole people
mo citizen in any town or city can
got special rates for the carrying Of his
correspondence. No one can be favored
in the promptness with which his coTre-
spondence is carried, or the kind Of SER
vice which is rendered. The thought
and purpose of the postoffice is equal
service to all, and uniform rates.
"On the other hand AS the government
did not undertake the matter Of trans
portation, 1t became a business carried
on by individuals and corporations, and
carried on, as other business, with
view to private gain, and according to
the judgment of those engaged therein.
No effort was made by the government
representing the public, to stay private
investment in this business. On the con-
trary, the whole tenor OF legislation was
to encourage such investment, and thus
to multiply the facilities and agencies of
transportation, until now it is estimated
that $4,000, 100000 are invested in rail
road transportation alone.
ut Is unnecessary to stop here TO in
quire whether this investment was not
largely In excess Of the needs Of the
country, and unwisely made. It is
enough to know that it has been made,
with the acquiescence, If not with the
active encouragement, OF the public.

"For years / was opposed to railroad
ownership by government. felt that
private enterprise could manage them
better than the public, and, further, that
the addition of such an army of men to
the patronage Of the government would
be giving q dangerous power to any Fed
eral administration. This last objection
has been partially removed by the ap-
pllcatiOn Of the civil service law, and it
Is now settled that system Of railroad
management could be established which
would not interfere in politics certainly
not so much as the present systems in
teTfere in politics During the last cam
paign millions of dollars were collected
from the railroads with which to debaUch
the public, and the employees of nearly
every railroad in this country were
forced not only to march, but in many
cases to vote against their will. But in
recent years the question Of railroad
ownership in this country has changed
and now presents entirely new problems.
Several years ago committee from
the New York Board Of Trade, after an
investigation into the question Of trans
pOrtatiOn, said in its report: The rail
roads control absolutely the Legislatures
of a majority of the States of the Union.
They make and unmake Governors,
United States Senators and Congress
men, and under the forms of popular
government they dictate the government
tai policy Of the United States.
THE question Of putting an end to this
wholesale corruption, putting an end to
the selling OF legislation, putting an end
to the control of government by cOrpO-
ratiOns, is question that will determine
the existence Of this republic. Unless
we can check 1t there is no hope for this
country. The only way by which we can
stop this corruption at present is to re-
move the temptation, and from present
appearances the only way this can be
done is TO have the government take all
these corporations and mOnOpOlies that
are now destroying it, Every effort to
enforce the criminal law against great
offenders has ended in farce. 1t is no
longer a question Of economy, 1t is not
question Of policy, it is a question Of
existence. We are face to face with the
question as to whether the government
has the right and power Of self-preser-
VatiOn."

The Earliest American Coins.

ginia company and waf minted In the

time, and for long time after, tobacco
was tho standard currency in Virginia
In 1915, however, the Virginia assem-
bly,, after reciting that II "had mature
ly weighed and considered how advan-
tageous quoine (coin) would be to this
colony. and the great wants and miser
los which do daily happen unto 1t by
solely depending on tobacco, provided
for the issue Of copper coins Of the de-
nominations Of twopence, threepence.

was ever done toward carrying out the

In operation for 81 years. During the
