Such democracy cannot stand foI- ever"
 When business becomes serious enough to compel serious action, the government reaches out and brings the Southern Pacific, Northern Pa cific and Pennsylvania railroad heads to Washington to get a maximum use out of our railroads. The results have been marvellous. But the committee of three has had to use the roads in the condition in which they were found in 1917. Why didn't the gov ernment help Hartman organize and develop the country's railroads 20 years ago, instead of fight him for political effect, tearing apart. and then 20 years later admit that he was doing the work vitally needed?

 Shown this item, said MT. Randolph on this point: We are drifting to government ownership of railroads. When that comes, keeping rates down as our postoffice has done the deficit will be made up as our postoffice defI- cit has been, through taxation. The people will lose hundreds of millions a year compared with Hartman or ganization, regulated by wise govern, ment. They will go back to paying 75 cents a gallon for transportation. And On transportation business o, some s3,OOO, ,O00,OOO a year that will mean serious results.
 Wears ago l was asked whether We would handle 10000 tons of low grade copper ore in Arizona over a certain haul or 10 cents ton. After study ing the matter. I said Yes Harri- man came on. He quickly surmisec that 10 cents was not quite paying us for hauling the ore. He demanded the reason for our making the rate. I answered that it was because at that time the mines could not afford to pay even 10h cents, but that the mining meant development of town and traffic of numerous varieties: that it was 10 cents or no develop ment, and that given the development the mines could afford to pay high CT rate as soon as copper prices ad- vanced. And they have. Will the government, as railroad owner, be rate sane and make such rates in face of fear of a charge of favoring the copper mine?
 q was once impressed by the idea of a friend in Arizona of damming the Colorado river in the Grand Can yon. As a civil engineer I worked out the plan, because it meant so much as a means for development in the west. It meant irrigating 1,000,- 900 acres, furnishing a vast power of electric current to Arizona, Cali fornia, New Mexico and Mexico. IL involved cutting and slipping down enough of the wall rock for the dam
 "The Canyon at that point is 400 feet wide at the base and 400 feet wide at the top, the walls rising al most perpendicularly for a sheer mile ! The falls that dam created would have made Niagara an infant. took the plan east to an engineering con. cern, one of the biggest in the coun try. They approved and we signed . contract for s50,OOO,0O0. Then I went to the government for permission to utilize this short stretch of the Can yon to develop the southwest as noth ing else could And the government refused.
