The Gettysburg Herald last weel

The Gettysburg Herald last week
had an article advocating a
government owned trunk railroad;
but it left the question of govern
ment control and regulation of
railroads in the background. The
Press IS decidedly opposed to any
and all government regulation of
industry. For this reason the
only solution of the liquor ques-
tion (federal) is prohibition,-that
is, prohibition of any states issu-
ing a license to a saloon; because,
any institution which has to be
regulated to make it obey the
law isn't worthy of the protection
of the law.
With railroads, it is Il question
of the exercise of the right of
eminent domain" The constitu-
ton gives Congress the right to
REGULATE commerce." as any one
will admit. A government-owned
four-track railroad from Washing
ton ID. G. to the Pacific coast.
touching tide water (ship canal) at
o above St. Louis, is an exercise
of the rights of eminent domain
and regulation of commerce. But
with this question is rapt up the
modus operandi of building it and
operation of it, which involves the
greater question of how to raise
the funds to build it.
