Railroad Monopoly In

that the legalization of pooling, that
can but strengthen the ties OF that
partnership, will break up the grant
ing of special privileges, is absurd. In
short, such pooling arrangements, as
Mr.. Morton urges, would broaden the
territory over which the railroad
building up trusts, combines and mo-
nopolies. The producers and consum-
ers must be the losers from the legal
ization Of railroad pools; must lose
from the spread Of discrimination;
must lose from the arbitrary raising OF
freight rates.
The further unification Of ownership
of railroads means the permanent fix
ing of freight rates so as. to pay inter-
est on the millions of dollars Of over
capitalization, means the fixing OF
freight rates so as to pay interest upon
several billions of dollars Of capital
stock for. which no money was paid
paying interest upon the fictitious cap
ital the money cliques In control OF the
railroads of the country have divided
among themselves. In other words, the
money combine in control of the rail-
roads of the country will take from the
producers and consumers Of the coun-
TRY each year more than three hundred
millions Of dollars ($3OO,O0O,0OO) for
interest upon capital stock, for which
mo money was paid, for which no real
value was given. or course the rail-
fr6ad corporations have most valuable
fpublic franchises, but no capitalization
Or charges should be made upon fran
lchises, for franchises are public trust.
The evil from private railroad monop-
ioly can not be met by pooling legal
l.ized. The evil will cease when we have
mathematical the railroads, substituted
a public monopoly for private mo-
nopoly. When we have national rail-
| roads we will have equal and fair rates
from all points. We will see an end
Of discrimination and an end OF the
shameful partnership between railroad
. managers and shippers that now
'lmakes and wrecks fortunes. C0mpe-
i tition and pooling do not insure fair
railroad rates.

destroy the trusts or pauperize the
peoples paramount. An irrepressi-
BILE conflict is On between the trusts
and people, and must be fought out
now, for money oligarchy proposes
to create money feudalism that can
control all lines of production, distri-
button, transportation, and finance,
and hold the great body of the people
in Industrial slavery for centuries to
come. The leaders of this money oil
garchy, all able, educated, aggressive,
courageous, INSCRIPTIONS men, are al
ways at work; they know the weak
places in the peoples position, and
therefore know what action to take
to overcome obstacles and how to make
an allpowerful organization.
Trusts shelter under tariff protection,
freight discrimination and franchises
To talk of licensing trusts is to trifie
with evil. The trusts have come
some as the product of Industrial evo-
lution,s from the fact that great COM
binations have made possible the in
PRODUCTION of economies in production;
some as the product of special legis-
1ation, largely the granting of fran
chises exclusive by their nature; some
as the result of railroad discrimina-
tons forbidden by the law, but which
the law has been poWerless to pre-
vent And so arising, the trusts must
be treated with some regard to the
manner by which they have risen.
Those that have come in the third way,
in railroad Determinations, can be
dealt with effectually, properly, by the
government taking possession of the
railroads and putting an end to the
evil of freight discrimination, SO de-
structive of the first right of the Amer
lean people to an equality of oppor-
tunity. Those that have arisen in the
second way, can be successfully treated
only by the national, state. and NUM-
cipal governments taking back the pub
lie franchises they have given away
and which they have common law
right to do; those that have arisen
in the first way, and that abuse their
power, the power that comes with
concentration, and that ought to bene-
fit the general public, must be taken
by the people as they see the necessity
and that they may enjoy the benefits
of the industrial evolution going or
around them.
Where trusts and monopolies are the
growth Of natural conditions, are, and
must continue to be, monopolies be.
cause of the very nature of their being;
then the nation, the state, the NUM-
cipality, must be the monopolist in or
der that the people may be protected
in their rights. Where monopoly car
not be destroyed, or where, being O.
natural growth, it is not to the inter
est of the people 10 destroy it, the gov
eminent must be the monopolist. Pri
vate monopoly of natural monopolie.
must be bane, government monopoly
must be blessing.
The friends of the policy of protec

who build up under duties on imports
degrading domestic monopolies. The
money cliques, under the tariff, shut
cliques could effectually and easily ex-
tend their special rates, their discrimi-
nations, their rebates divided, thus
out foreign competition in industrial
operations and set up monstrous do
nestle monopolies, and SO make abor--
tive the protective system.
To stop this shameful course, to put
an end to this public robbery, / pro-
posed fifteen years since to legislate
against industrial trusts:
/. To treat industrial trusts as con-
spiracies against the public.
q. To remove all tariff import pro-
lection from articles which the trusts
monopolize.
3. To provide means to discover and
to enforce penalties against dishon-
est capitalization of industrial corpo-
|TatiOnS. s
In these ways would destroy all the
trust corporations that rest upon tar
if protection and put an end to rob-
berry of the people through sovercharges
for manufactured articles and through
sales of fictitious because oper-capital-
lied stocks and bonds. Thus would
be justified the protective tariff sys-
tenn imposed for protection OF Ameri-
can labor against underpaid and de-
graded European and Asiatic labor.
Unless such legislation can be had, the
protective tariff system can not and
should not be maintained. Protective
tariff duties should never be imposed
for revenue.
The Hon Paul Morton, in pub
lished statement, says that he believes
one of three things is sure to take
place in the conduct of our railway
systems. First, legalization OF pools;
second, further unification of owner
ship, delivering in time the entire
railway ownership of the country into
the hands of few individuals or one
syndicate; third, government owner
ship. Mr.. Morton declares that ht
stands for pooling. OF course, all IN
the railroad group believe in pooling
for such plan puts into their hands al
/ the important enterprises of the coun.
! try. for all depend for life upon trans
/ portation, upon the railroads. Tit
worst of all private monopolies witt
which we have to contend is the rail
road monopoly. Upon it rest most O

road monopoly as the worst private
monopoly. i do SO because | believe
that ii the railroad monopoly was a
public monopoly it would not be bad
at all. do not believe the men work..
ing-national railroads could be used as
political machines as they are now
used. At this time the railroad men
vote as railroad presidents and mana
gers dictate. Under national railroads
the army of railroad men would be
free to vote as they wished: there
could be no slavery such as exists
now, for holding their places would
mot depend upon their votes, but upon
good and loyal work done. ~.
MIR. Morton and all other railroad Of
ficers say that competition is at the
bottom of our railroad troubles, the
very root of rate discrimination, and
therefore all say to get rid OF such
discrimination we ought to authorize
pooling between the railroads. Legal
ization Of pooling would get rid OF
competition, would make one great pri-
vate railroad monopoly. Thus there
would be an end of rate-cutting and
rate discrimination to get business,
but there would not be an end to rate
cutting and rate-discrimination to give
advantages to favored combines and
trusts in which railroad managers and
the money cliques behind the rail-
roads, debating their policy, have or
may secure an interest. The latter
| kind of rate-cutting would go on
worse than ever, for more than ever
would it be in the power Of the specu-
lative money cliques to use the rail-
lroads effectively as engines of specu-
Ilation, engines to build up the pros
lperity of these enterprises in which
they were interested, wreck those en-
/ terprises which were competitive, and
that they wished to destroy. And sc
the evil Of rate discrimination would
not cease, but would be accelerated
with the joining OF our railroads in
way to make one great private rail-
road monopoly. The cutting OF rates
has not been forced upon railroads BY
large shippers as often as have re-
4 bates been offered such, shippers by
/ the railroad managers. These railroad
managers demand a share, as personal
profit of the money thus dishonesty
showered upon favored shippers at the
expense of the railroad investor, and
to the ruin of the competitors OF such
favored shippers. 1t is thus that rail
road managers with salaries OF few
thousands of dollars year accumu-
late large fortunes in few years
4 fortunes that can be counted only BY
millions; it is thus that these ship
pers who profit from the enjoyment o
special privileges gather fortunes. Sucf
d shippers and such railroad manager!
i gather their great fortunes becaus
of their partnership in fraud, and 1t il
in this partnership that is to be fount
the cause of the granting Of specia
privileges by our railroads. They ar
granted for the mutual profit Of thos'
in this partnership. And to suppos'
