GREEN AND THE ROCK ISLAND

The Rock Island railway has been
in the hands of exploiters. 1t has
been fiagrantly abused. Its physical
condition has suffered material de-
terioration. II is in serious need of
reorganization. 1t needs to be put
back on sound basis. 1t is loaded
with water. This should be drained
Off and the property made sound, dry
and strong.
Several months ago Congressman
Green went into this subject. Green
has a judicial cast of mind, due
doubtless to his long service on the
bench. He weighed the facts in this
Rock Island case with care and final
ly set forth his findings in speech
in which he urged further investiga-
ton. He thought the light should
be turned on.
Green's effort to get something
done has, not been wholly successful.
The case has dragged along for a
number of months. But through
One source and another light has
been pentrating the subject. And it
has become very clear now that
Green's work IN this connection was
accurate and fair. He developed the
facts and gave them to the public
His contentious have been practically
all sustained by later developments.
And out of it all will come benefit
to the Rock Island railway, to the
investing public and to the people
who are served by the Rock Island
system.
Above and beyond this there will
accrue a substantial benefit to the
general public. Railway business is
gradually coming to sounder basis
The exploiter is being eliminated
Real railway men are coming into
control. In fact, the government
itself is assuming control. There
will never be permitted in future a
repetition of the work that has been
done in connection with the Frisco,
the Rock Island. the Alton and the
New Haven.
Congressman Green has rendered
a valuable service in uncovering in
an effective manner the work of
those who were making of a great
railway system pawn on the chess
board of high finance. His Judge
ment in the Rock Island case was
Just and fair and it will be sustain
ed by the supreme court of public
opinion.-Nonpariel.
