Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-01

Lincoln, Neb., July 2O-William
J. Bryan today issued the following
statement:
Government ownership is not an
immediate issue. A large majority
of the people still hope for effective
regulation. While they so hope, they
will not consider government owner
ship. While many Democrats be-
ieve, and Mr.. Bryan is one of them,
that public ownership Of railroads is
the ultimate solution of the prob
lem, still those who believe that the
public will finally, in self-defense, be
driven to ownership, recognize that
regulation must be tried under the
most favorable circumstances before
the masses will be ready to try
more radical remedy.
"Regulation cannot be sufficiently
tried within the next year. There
is no desire anywhere to make gov
ernment ownership an issue in 1908.
Mr.. Bryan fully agrees with those
who believe that it would be unwise
to turn attention from regulation, on
which the people are ready to act,
to government ownership, on which
the people are not ready to act
Would Dodge Issues.
"To inject the government owner
ship question into the next campaign
would simply give representatives Of
the railroads a chance to dodge the
issues Of regulation and deceive the
public.
$50 far the railroads have been
successful in preventing effective
Federal regulations, and state regu-
lation has, as a rule, been restrained
by the United States courts. It is
about twenty years since the Inter-
state Commerce Commission was Gre
ated. 1t required about ten years for
the courts to find out that the pow
ers conferred were insufficient. and
then it took about ten years to pro-
cure an amendment The railroads
fought the amendment at every step
and the president was finally forced
to compromise with the railroad Re-
publicans in the Senate in order to
procure their support
