it all, too. He has invented or else

One Minute Chats on Vital Subject BY Martin A.
Knapp, Chair. Interstate Commerce Commission


occurred within the last few years
in the street railway service of
cities. The recent substitution of
electricity for animal power fur
nished an opportunity which a few
foresaw, and they have been great
ly enriched by exploiting public
franchise. That the public has had
the benefit of much better service
without increased cost is beside the
present question.
The point is that had those fran
chises not been granted, had they
remained the possession of the pub
lie, the great fortunes made in
street railroading would have been
impossible.
1t may be better as it is; the mu-
nicipal ownership of street rail-
roads might not have been finan-
cial success Or public blessing,
but small group of persons would
not have been able to accumulate
unusual wealth.
If, in the long run. it makes for
the general welfare to prevent the
quick and easy making of private
fortunes in connection with a pub
lie service, what other course re-
mains except to emancipate all
forms of public service from the
domain of private enterprise?
