The following in reply to letter
addressed to Mr.. Bryan appeared in
a recent number of the Wall Street
journal:
To the Editor of the Wall Street

in answering your questions. and
YOU are at liberty to publish the let

ment ownership as an immediate is
sue, but as an ultimate solution of
the controversy. / prefaced my re-
marks by saying that | did not know
whether the country was ready to
consider the question or whether a
majority OF the members of my own
party agreed with me For some
fourteen years after my entrance in
to national politics | hoped for
effective railroad legislation and was
brought reluctantly to the belief
that government ownership furnished
the only satisfactory remedy for the
discrimination, rebates and extor.
tions practiced by the railroads and
tor the corruption which they have
brought into politics.
My FIRST public expression on this
subject was after the national con-
vention of 1904. Two reasons led me
TO discuss the subject at that time.
First, the triumph OF the reactionary
element at st. Louis discouraged the
more radical members of our party.
Feeling sure, from contact with the
rank and file Of our organization,
that the ascendancy of the so-called
conservative leaders would be- TEN.

Position on Railroad Question Fully Explained by the GFed

potary, | appealed TO the radical
democrats TO remain with the party,
secure control OF the organization
and make the party an effective in
strument ia securing needed reforms.
TO encourage these progressive
democrats to remain with the party.
l announced the conclusion which |
had reached in regard TO the final
necessity for goyernme ownership.
My second reason for bringing the
subject forward then was that feder-
al ownership OF ali the railroads was
the only plan discussed by the adyo-
Gates of government ownership and
thought it worth while to present
the dual plan which would, in my
judgment, give the country the bene-
hit OF government ownership without
the Capitalization involved in the
plan which puts the federal author
titles in control OF all the railroad
systems OF the country.
The dangers OF Capitalization are
real dangers, however difficult it may
be TO get the people as whole TO
consider theories in advance of their
application.
We are not at the end Of railroad
development but rather at its begin
ming, and feel. AS | have always

Objection has been made 10 gov. |
eminent ownership on the ground |
that it would prevent the states from
exercising police power over the OPP
Grafton OF the roads. This objection
might be made against the federal
ownership OF all the roads hut IL does
not lie against the dual plan. For.
iirst, II the states did not choose to
own the focal lines, they could exer-
else the same control over them that
they do today. Second, II they de-
sired to own the local lines, their
control would be even more complete
than 1t is today. Third, an act OF
congress could provide for tie opera
tion OF trunk lines in harmony with
the police laws OF the various states,
and fourth, the states could he per-
