PUBLIC SHOULD
OWN RAILWAYS
Speech of Patterson of Colo
RADIO in the Senate Upon Bill
introduced by Him.
lNDULaES IN A PROPHECY
PRESENTS FIGURES FROM NINE
TEEN COUNTRIES.

Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Patter-
son of Colorado. addressing the senate to-
Gay, made a plea for government owner
ship OF railroads He predicted such a
condition would be brought about within
the lifetime of the present members of
the senate. but did not anticipate any
speedy action in that direction.
The railroads. he declared, were grow
ing more arrogant each year. and as he
saw little or no relief in the new rate
law, government control of the roads
would supply the only remedy. To show
the value of his words, Mr.. Patterson
presented figures from nineteen coun-
tries. showing the presence of govern
nsent ownership in some form. and he
saw . steadily increasing sentiment III
that direction SO far as the United States
Is concerned. American roads he valued
at between 81. go 900 600 and $1,000 coo. 091
They could be obtained by condemnation
proceedings. the financial end being COW
cred by mortgage back by the govern
ment'S guarantee
Mr.. Patterson ridiculed the idea that a
vast political machine would be built up
through federal operation of railroads.
AS a matter Of fact, railroad politics
would be abolished. Among the benefits
TO be gained through the ownership, Mr..
Patterson mentioned extension of the
postal system, postal express and eqult-
aDle rates
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-02-28
Political Machine Idea.

The idea that government ownership
would result in a political machine by
the combination of employees was secuted
by Mr.. Patterson. At the outset. he sug-
e sted. no radical change should be male
IN methods of management. Rates should
be fixed by the interstate commerce
commission and division OF Transports
tiUn should be established to conduct the
actual operation of the roads. The re-
forms that would follow would be large
economies TO the freight shipper and II
ductiOn Of the passenger rate one-half.
IL woull permit of extending the postal
system and establishing a postal express.
II would guarantee the adoption of all
known safety appliances and the best
signal systems. Service pensions would
be paid employees and new and needed
lines could he built. Railway politics
would be abolished and equilibrium OF
power between the state. The govern
ne 1T end the people restored Reforms
IN rate-making by adopting the zone sys-
ten. and in freight classification would
result. Government ownership need not,
he said. prevent private construction of
roads.

HARTMAN ALSO
BORROWED CASH
StuyVesant Fish Makes a Few
Remarks Concerning the
Charges Made.
NOTHING IMPROPER IN 1T
WHY THE MAGNATEs PARTED
COMPANY.

New York. Feb. 27.-Stuyvesant Fish
was asked by the Associated Press to-
day what answer. if any. he cared to
make TO the accusations which e II.
Hartman preferred yesterday before
the interstate commerce commission
Il have little to say" he replied. Il
shall not be drawn into a wrangle with
that gentleman He and | sustained
close relations for many years and
were Jointly interested in many large
affairs. All of those transactions will
hear the closest scrutiny. 1t was |at
my instance that Mr. Hartman was
made a director of the Illinois Central,
ana we got along quite we'll until he
became ambitious To make the Central
part of the Union Pacific system. I
didn't believe this would be i'm the in
terest of the stockholders of the Illinois
Central, and then and there Mr.. Harri-
man and / parted company.
Both Borrowed Funds.
HE is quite right in saying that l
borrowed funds from the Illinois Cen
tral, but he should have added that
the loan was made at a time when we
were most anxious to put out some OF
the surplus; that 1 hunted from bank
TO bank to loan our money; that this
particular loan was made on collateral
which was unquestiOnably ample and
marketable; that several of the other
directors borrowed from the company
In the same way; and finally. Mr.. Har-
riman himself, while director, had
| borrowed from the company in precise
I ~ the same manner frequently and in
sums aggre eating several millions of
dollars. As a matter of business, l did
not then regard it as improper, nor do
l now. When in the fall of 1903, | de-
sired to repay the debt, l proposed to
negotiate a new loan from Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. Mr.. Hartman asked me not to
do so and offered to lend me the sum,
and | accepted his offer made vOlun-
tarily.
Trust Company Deposits.
Respecting the deposits with the
Trust Company of the Republic, il
should be said that this institution was
enc of the many New York trust COM
panies with which we carried accounts;
that the sums i'm deposit fluctuated
with the general conditions of our very
| large business, and that there was no
parting of accounts by me. The de-
post was never in danger. I was a
trustee of the trust company, but
never an officer.
Concerning the acquisition of the
Indianapolis & st. Louis railway, it is
necessary to refer to the records of the
/ Illinois Central company, which will
show that my action was fully and
| formally approved by the directors"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-02-28
Some Figures Given.

Mr.. Patterson presented table show
ing the attitude of sixty-four countries
toward railroads. OF these, government
ownership obtains to a greater or less ex-
tent in fifty-nine and is exclusive IN
twenty-nine. Private ownership obtains
In thirty-six and is exclusive in five. This.
Mr. Patterson said. shows that the COM
structiOn and ownership of railroads Is
really the business of governments. as
three-fOurths OF the derOCracies and two
thirds of the monarchies of the world
own railroads.
The United States government, Mr. Pat
teTson maintained. could acquire exist
l1g railroads by condemnation proceed
ings under the post road clause He sup
Ported this contention also by supreme
court decisions. Not only the roads. but
their corporate franchises. ne said. could
thus be acquired by condemnation.
AS to compensation Mr.. Patterson con-
tended that the stock and bond holders
of the roads ought to be paid fun value
for their holdings. The full value of alt
American roads he placed at between
sl1 GO G06,0c9 and 81. O00.ldG. His sug-
gestion 20. financing the government 5
purchase Of the roads was by a mort
gage backed by government guarantee,
which would work out by having stock
and bond holders exchange their holdings
for government bonds. He believed tins
exchange would be so attractive as to
secure to the government practically ali
private railroad holdings
