the pamphlet Is one absolutely without

the pamphlet Is one absolutely without any merit.
 The pamphlet seems to realize 1t has made out no case of real necessity for such radical regulation as it advocates, as is evidenced by the sentence:
 Even If 1t were conceded that there has been no abuse of power in the past by railroad companies in the State of Alabama, such abuse may arise in the future, and 1t is the part of wisdom to guard against them now"
 It Is submitted that 1t Is most se- rious thing to deprive the owners of property of the right to manage it. With respect to strictly private property 1t is a thing which can never be done. With respect to property which Is affected with a public use 1t is a thing that ought not 10 be done without grave necessity. de- mand for such a step, which is supported only by the suggestion that there may be a possibility of injury some time in the future is absolutely unworthy of serious consideration.
 It is of course an easy thing to ask for the unlimited regulation of other peo- ples property. man can be very bold and radical and exhibit unlimited en- thusiasm when demanding a course of procedure which will affect merely the property of others and leave his own
  a source deserve all the more careful consideration. Mere theories induged by such advocates ought not to be made the basis for action so radically affecting the rights of others. That the writers of the pamphlet in question were wholly free from any concern as to the rights of the railroad company is quite apparent throughout the pamphlet. but perhaps nowhere more apparent than where in
 fhpU wish conferred upon the railroad commission they make the observations:
 of there should be any gross invasion of the rights of railroad under this law 1t would have its rights in the courts under the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States"
 This is the spirit in which the pamphlet is written. Upon a mere theory that the railroads may do wrong, they are to. be deprived of the right to manage their own porperty. After such deprivation takes place. for mere ordinary cases of injustice they are to have no redress but for gross oppression they are to be given the privileges of attempting to protect themselves under the constitution of the United States. It Is earnestly submitted that the state of Alabama should not deal with railroads in any such spirit. and that the constitutional convention | should not by virtue of a string of theo- l ries and fallacies take the management | oi the railroads entirely out of the hands | of their owners, leaving them as Sbrlr l only redress the right to seek protection under the constitution of the United l States in instances of gross abuse. It is submitted with deference that the rail- roads have been of value to the state of Alabama and that they have the right to expect more from the state than the course of inexcusable injustice which Is advocated by the pamphlet referred to.

RIGHTS OF RAILROADS TO
 CONDUCT THEIR BUSINESS
Reasonable Governmental Regulation is Expected But Abso Iute Usurpaton is Not-Rairoad Rates Not Taxes
 No Monopoly of Transportation Lines.

Reply to anonymous pamphlet entitled,
 Statement of the case of those citizens
 of the State of Alabama who ask and
 need relief from the burdens of unre-
 stricted taxation. Respectfully sub-
 mitted to the constitutional convention
 now in session.
 The above mentioned pamphlet pur- ports to relate tosa matter of taxation. It in fact relates to an effort to have the constitutional convention make the rail road commission the traffic manager of every railroad in the State of Alabama. As every railroad company is naturally inter ssted in the selection of it's traffic manager, I deem it proper to ask some comments upon this pamphlet.
 The meaning and effect of this effort must be kept steadily in view. If the gen. tlemen making It were confronted with a proposition to fix by public officials the terms upon which they conduct their business they would at once appreciate the radical character of such regulation. They would know 1t to be inconsistent with their managing their own business or their own property in any substantial degree
 The persons who invest their money in railroads have natural desire to man. age their property. They fully realize that 1t is affected with public use. and therefore subject to reasonable govern mental regulation; but they have a right to expect that their management of the property will not be impaired except so far as is absolutely required by the pub lie interest and that certainly their right of management will not be utterly de- stroyed (and that Is what is here pro- posed) without the very strongest req sons. This desire ought to be respected as far as Is consistent with the public interest. They have a right to assume that any proposition to destory their voice in the management of the property will be most carefully weighed and will be rejected unless there Is a strong pub lie necessity for adopting 1t. The reasons, therefore, urged In behalf of this proposi- tion should be most thoroughly consider cd.
 The reason mbst consistently urged is that the railroads exercise the taxing pow er,- and that therefore the power so ex- ercised should be restrained in the same way that limitations are imposed upon the taxing power of counties and muni- cipalities. But the railroads do not ex- ercise the taxing power and the proposi- tion Is not merely to put a limitation up- on their rates. but to take the fixing of their rates absolutely out of their hands. Moreover, these premises, even if cor rect. would not justify ~bolishing the
The age-herald., 1901-08-14

right of railroad owners to manage their property unless some strong practical ne- cessity were shown for so radical step.
 Railroad rates are not taxes. It is un- wise and unjust to base any practical and radical regulation upon the abstract and fallacious theory that they are taxes. The clements in which railroad rates diff fer from taxes are numerous and obvious and 1t Is unnecessary to specify them. It will be sufficient to notice the reasons generally suggested why they should be regarded as taxes.
 It is frequently assumed that rail- road company Is performing purely governmental Junction. and as the gov ernment if it performed the function would defray the expenses by tax, therefore the method in which the rail- road company raises it's revenue Is species of taxation. If this assumption were true the postal service ought to af- ford a complete analogy. The unimpor- tant fact may be mentioned in passing that postage stamps are not generally re- earded as taxes. The two important facts should be constantly borne In mind how ever. that all the property used in the postal service, in the way Of postofrices, postal cars, etc., Is paid for with public funds, and that all defciences in the op- eration of the postal service are made good out of the public treasury. lnerelore even if the transportation of passengers and freight were a. purely governmental function, the rates charged tnereIore ought not to be regarded, as taxes unless the property used in such transportation had been furnished by public funds ana unless deficiences in operation were maoe good out of the public treasury
 But the transportation of freight ana passengers is not purely government tai function. On the contrary neither In England nor in the United States has the government ever undertaken, except pos sibly in rare instances and for short in tervals to perform the duties of com mon carrier of freight and passengers The government has frequently furnished highways which might be used by com mon carriers, but 1t has not acted as a common carrier upon those highways. Probably not over 20 or 9 per cent of the expenditures of a railroad company are incurred in maintaining the highway which 1t uses. All the other expenditures are incurred in performing transporta- tion services, which services have al- ways, both in England and America, been performed by individuals or private cor- porations and not by the government. The railroads are not, therefore, performing governmental functions if we look to the
