FREE RAILROADS FAVORED.
TOM L JOHNSON ADVOCATES MUNICIPAL OWN
ERsHIP AND ABOLIsHING FARES

Tom L. Johnson delivered address last night
at Association Hall. Twenty-third-st- and Fourth
ave, The Railroad Problem" The meeting
was under the auspices of the Manhattan Single
Tax Club Here are some OF the things Mr.. John
said:
I not only favor the municipal ownership OF
street railroads. I want them 10 be free. You
might charge,a fraction of cent for a ride
elevator but I don't think any business man
would DO that in a building he owns. When ride
to the sixteenth story to consult my lawyer sus-
pect that I pay for that service somehow. The
landlord gets II out Of my lawyers rent, and he
takes it out Of my pocket And railroads are just
Ike elevators. They would be paid for in the in
creased taxation on land values If We only had the
single And the conductor would not have
spend half his time collecting fares but could
give attention to seeing that people got on
and of the safely.
But some people afraid that II We had munich
pal ownership the railroads would get into politics.
that their control would add 10 the power OF the
dominant party. To that I reply merely, Are they
not in politics now2 Now don't believe in
having the municipality assume the control OF III
kinds OF business but only Of those in which there
is some sort Of a monopoly. You can almost count
the fingers OF one hand all that ought TO be
so taken-gas, the electric light, the teiegraphs,
possibly the telephones We already have the fire
