NORTHWESTERN is CAREFUL.
Official of the Road Tells of Care Taken
TO Prevent SMALLPOX.

These stories that the roalroads
have just decided to fumigate their
cars and vaccinate their employees to
prevent the spread of smallpox are abb
surd," said prominent official of the
Northwestern railway in an interview
published in the Inter Ocean. The
truth is that for many years II has been
the custom of railroad companies to
disinfect their cars at regular intervals
when no contagious diseases were cpl
demic, and to disinfect as frequently as
necessary all cars used in territory In
which smallpox prevailed. For exam
pie, cars in service on our line passing
thru points where there is smallpox are
Gisinfected thoroughly at the end of
each trip. Within the last year every
man employed in the passenger service
has been vaccinated. We do not COM
pei our men to submit to vaccination.
but we know that only those who have
been vaccinated are on the trains We
cooperate heartily in efforts to pre-
vent the spread of diseases with the
health officers at every point along our
line"
Every sleeping car In service is dis
infected with formaldehyde after every
trip. when 1t reaches terminal sta
tion," said an official of the Pullman
company while this is the regular
practice, special care is taken with cars
passing thru places where smallpox is
or has been recently. All our conduc-
tors and porters and all persons work
ing about our cars must be vaccinated
at least once year"
Chief surgeons of all the railroads
terminating in Chicago have made ar
rangements to keep their assistants
along the line supplied with fresh and
pure vaccine virus. AS a rule, when
ever smallpox breaks out at any point,
the railway surgeons do a wholesale
business in vaccination. Sometimes
several doctors are sent out as assist
ants to the local surgeons of the rail-
roads. Few Of the companies compel
their employees to submit to vaccina-
ton, but anybody who refuses to be
vaccinated when advised to do so finds
dispense with his services.
Instead of trying to suppress the
fact that smallpox has broken out at
some point along our line, we immedi-
ately inform the health officials of that
place and our agents are instructed to
guard against any suspect getting on
train said the general manager of
one of the western roads. 81 do not say
we get on the housetops and yell that
there is smallpox along our line, but we
do not try to keep the facts from those
who should know and who will take the
necessary measures for the protection
of the public l honestly believe that
to the precautions taken by the rail-
roads to keep their cars disinfected and
their employees vaccinated is due the
small amount of smallpox in Chicago
today. When 1t is known that the dis
euse exists on all sides of us, and that
all roads lead to Chicago, the compar-
ative freedom of Chicago from smallpox
shows that the precautionary measures
taken have been effective"

To be sure, they should have the exclusive right to use their own property, just as a whole sale grocery corporation has the exclu- sive right to the house which 1t acquires for business purposes. But the railroad company has no exclusive legal right to carry passengers and freight between any two given points, for the reason that anyone else desiring to construct and operate railroad between those points can readily secure equal rights with the existing railroad.

Why Not Arbitrarily Regulate Other
 Industries as We'll as Railroads,

th0doAi iSS ao vFStl do
 In the beginning of the creation of railroad commissions the most ardent advocates of such bodies only insisted on the commission having the right to pre- vent extortion or unjust discrimination, and no thought of giving any commis- sion the power of arbitrarily regulating freight rates. either local otherwise, was contemplated. There Is not a mer- chant in Alabama who would be willing to have a commission appointed to say what profit he should make on the sale of any article. There Is not a man en- gagged in this warfare upon the railroads in this State who would be willing to have such legislation as he is now pray ing for against the railroads passed in reference to the business in which he is engaged.
 But if such legislation Is fair and just to railroad owners, it is equally fair and just to wholesale grocers, cotton mill men and others It would be just as equitable to create a commission to regu- late their business and take it out of their hands as 1t is to take the business of the railroads out of the hands of their own CTS.
 It is assumed by these gentlemen that the transportation of freight and passen- gers is in the nature of a governmental function. Neither in England nor in the United States has the government ever
 
 for short intervals, to perform the duties of a common carrier of freight and pas sengers. The government has frequently furnished highways which might be used by common carriers, but it has not acted as 8 common carrier upon these high ways. I he transportation services upon such highways have in both England and the United States always been performed by private corporations and not by the government. The railroads are not therefore, performing governmental functions, if we look to the history of England and America for the definition of that term.
 It is urged by the advocates of this drastic legislation that railroad compa- nies enjoy the benefit of some peculiar and exclusive franchise from the State. This assumption probably grows out of the incorrect idea just noticed that rail- road transportation is a governmental function. The fact is the railroads have no peculiar or exclusive franchise. Un- der the laws of Alabama 1t Is just as easy for any number of individuals desiring to form a corporation to operate railroad to get authority from the State for that purpose, as 1t Is for the same individuals desiring to form a corporation for the purpose of conducting a wholesale gro- cery business to get authority therefor from the State.
 It is charged by those who would de- stroy these great institutions that they are ''monopolies-" They are certainly not
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-08-03

It cannot be rue, as claimSd " MT Conner anu MT. White that -.le people of Alabama are interested in this movement unless it is admitted, claimed by these gentlemen, that they are the people," The great mass of people in .nis state are greatly benefited every time a railroad Is extended, notwithstanding it may to a certain extent cut off the trade of some particular city or jobbing center. But just in proportion as that Is done, i'm proved facilities are extended to the peo- pie.
 Only a short time ago the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans railroad was pur- chased by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and extended to the Tomblgbee river. There is no question but what the trade of such towns as Uniontown and Demopolis was. to a certain extent in- juriously affected by tne buflulng of this road, but how about the benefits at Lin den and other towns on the B. S. & N. O.? This road .as Is well known. extends through a prairie country, where the people in the winter were practically iso- lated for four or five months in the year.

The Negro in the WoodpiIe" - Is There Candidate for Railroad Com
 missioner Behind This Warfare2


 It will be observed that these gentle men do not confne their demands to the question of electing the Railroad Com missioners by the people. Objection to this method of selecting the commission CTS might be waived, if it were not so apparent to the initiated what the real purpose Of these men is. Their real pur- pose Is to, if possible, induce the people of Alabama to so fix the railroad com mission law as to practically take from the railroad owners the management of theIr own property. and put the same into the hands of a political tribunal. And the indications point very strongly to one of these leaders as an aspirant to the office of Railroad Commissioner.
 I do not believe the people of Alabama will gratify his ambition, either to elect a legislature modeled after his own nar- row and selfish ideas, or by electing him as a Railroad Commissioner of Ala bama.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-08-03
Railroad Rates Are Not Taxes.

It is obvious, therefore, that it Is un- statesmanlike, indeed, absurd, to attempt to base any radical regulation of rail- roads, involving as 1t does important property interests of the individuals own ing those railroads, upon the purely ab- str act and thoroughly fallacIous and mis- leading argument that railroad rates are public taxes, as has been industriously asserted by those conducting this unholy anti-railroad warfare.
 The real question to be decided by the people of Alabama is whether there Is a substantial public necessity for the radi- cal step of taking the management of the railroads entirely out of the hands of the owners and putting their affairs into the hands of a political tribunal? This is as a matter of fact, what Messrs. White and Conner desire.
 The persons who have been invited to invest their money in Alabama railroads have a natural desire to manage their own property. They have a right to as- sume that any proposition to destroy their voice in the management of their property will be most carefully weighed by the people of Alabama, and that high handed vandalism shall not prevail in our fair State.
