AMERICAN RAILWAY PROBLEMS
BY HIIRERT b FULLER
SATURDAY.

(This is the first of series of three
articles by Hubert B. Fuller on the
transportation problems of the United
States. Mr.. Fuller is an authority on
matters pertaining to the railroads.
He is the author OF THE Act to Regu-
late Commerce" Accident and EN-
ployers' Liability Insurance" and sew
eral historical works.-The Editor.)
The complete dependence of this
country upSn it's transportation facili-
ties commands public interest in the
problems which today confront the
railroads of the United States. For a
generation our railroads have been the
object of popular prejudice. This has
been the result partly of the manipu-
lation of railroads by stock specula-
tors, partly of the hostility generally
felt toward public service corporations
and partly of the agitation of certain
types of politicians who have sought
to capitalize all forms of social unrest.
AS a result of this situation we have
seen the enactment of a vast volume
of ill-considered. unscientific and even
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-07-08

crees in reducing intra-s state rates to
unreasonable levels have sought to ex-
clude and discriminate against the
traffic of other states in order to pre-
serve their own state markets.
The first essential to the proper
control of railroads I'm the United
States is the unification of control in
one body. Federal regulation of rail-
roads is highly desirable, both for the
public and for the railroads them
selves. Generally speaking, federal
regulation has been salutary in its
effects. On the contrary, state rail-
road regulation has been both I'M
scientific and unsuccessful. The ma
tional government should extend the
scope of it's regulation so far as it
possibly can under the grants of the
commerce clause of the constitution
State regulation should be confined
solely to questions OF a purely local
character. Moreover, our railroads
need more constructive legislation
and less legislation which is either
patiently destructive or avowedly
penal.

in the state to send any of their equip
ment into other states for repairs;
twenty states have enacted hours-of-
service laws varying from ten to six
teen hours; twenty states have enact
ed full-crew laws; twenty-eight states
have conflicting headlight laws; four
teen states have enacted different
types of safety appliance acts. Many
states have by legislation attempted to
secure preferred treatment for their
intra-state traffic.
The greatest burdens of the Amer
lean railroads today arise from the un
just obligations imposed upon them by
special legislation dealing with every
conceivable subject. For instance in
the year 1913, in the various state leg
islatures then in session, 1907 bills
were introduced for the purpose of
regulating railroads. OF these 1877 be-
came laws. In 1913. ESQ railroad laws
were enacted in the United States
These laws were not the offspring of
necessity or even of study. Most of
them were simply the result of preju-
dice and antipathy. A great amount
OF this legislation is inspired not by the
dictates of public convenience but ap-
parently for the purpose of compelling
the railroads to employ the largest
possible number of operatives
A very prevalent fallacy in the
United States is the belief that rail-
road treasury is perennial and ex-
haustless; that money expended by
railroads is a burden to no one Cen
orally speaking. the only source of
income enjoyed by railroad is found
in its rates of transportation. which in
turn are paid by the shipping and
travelling public. This fa1lacy explains
large percentage of the volume of
indefensible railroad legislation.
Moreover various state railroad

penal railroad legislation. The rail-
roads are subject to the varying con .
troll of forty-nine different agencies
the national government and each of
the forty-eight different states-all
having their own standards of control.
The Implications, the waste and the
extravaganza caused by the laws of
these multiform agencies annually cost
the railroad companies of the country
millions of dollars. In an effort to
obey the laws of one state the rail-
roads are forced to viosate the statutes
of an adjoining state.
Conflicting Laws Vex Railroads.

Indians Disannearing

Indians Disappearing.
Senator Lane of Oregon recently
told the Indian bureau that there will
be no Indians left unless conditions
are improved, and that is true. Ameri-
cans believe that since they hear no
complaints from the Indians that they
must be happy. Americans do not re-
member that the Indian is stoical by
nature; from scores of generations he
has inherited the principle that he
must not complain of abuse or even
torture from his conquerors, and so
the Indians today mutely suffer and
die under bureaucratic government"
The Lolomi plan proposes an abrupt
change in the government of the In
dams. At present the government
does not turn their property over to
them on the theory that some are in
competent and they would soon lose
their property to slick white men who
prey on the reservations. The Lolomi
plan recognizes this danger and pro-
poses to incorporate the various res
ervations, turning all the Indian
property over to the corporation,
which will then be operated as COM
panies, the Indians sharing pro rata in
the dividends. 1t is provided in the
scheme that no Indian can sell or 9TH
erwise dispose of his stock. Once the
reservation is incorporated, it is pro-
posed to establish model villages for
health's sake, and operate the reser-

The bureau of the census. while 1t

clared their intention to become c1tl

This estimate is based on the as

taken the total number of male citi-
zens and prospective citizens IS years

TALLY estimate, since the census
enumerators were able to obtain in
formation as to citizenship from only
about seven eiChths of the total number
of foreign-born males. Native whites
thus represent about IA per cent of the
total. fOreign-bOrn whites nearly 10
per cent. negroes nearly IL per cent,
and Indians about three-tenths of l
per cent.
During the Civil war when the pop
ulation of the country, exclusive of the

fourth as great as the present popula-
ton of the entire United States, the
total number of men serving in the

Grades in Holly Public Schools,
was elected pronouncer. The con-
test was by grades, each grade from
the Second through the Seventh
spelling in turn. The contest was
close, but the award for the greater
number of winnings was given to
the Beet Ranch School. It was a
very interesting affair, and its like
is looked forward to by all those
present.
