Railroad Loot

roads OF America. Hnery II. Hyde,
writing in the Technical World Mag
a2ne, summarizes them as follows:
Congress has given away the pub
!r domain to railroad and other cor
p0rationS 10 the extent Of 2G66, ,000.-
600, acres, Il bit of territory not far in
extent from the total area Of France
and Germany, two countries which
support between them a population
much greater than the whole pOpula-
lion of the United States when the
last census was taken.
Much less is known of the tribute
these same railroads have levied off
the people Of the United States in the
way Of profits. Philos Cook Of Cali
lorna, a student and ardent Social
ist, has carefully gone over the rec
ordS for thiFty-two years, and has
computed this tribute for the benefit
Of the Appeal readers. Here i: what
he finds:
