GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OF THE RAILROADS
PAGE TWO
(Mr Frank Harris in Tampa Tribune

am not prepared to give my ap'
pxoval TO the government ownership
of railroads. but am prepared to give
to the government time for tair
and impartial test and it seems to me
that no fair minded person should
hesitate to do otherwise.
There are. of course, good reasons
for and against the proposition ana
the only Just way to arrive at an
honest conclusion is to give the mat
ter a fair tryOut.
If it results in failure then the
roads can be returned to the owners
with the settled conviction that prl'
waite ownership is the best policy;
if the test is eminently satisfactory,
as many believe that it will be, then
that can become the settled policy
of the. nation with all bubbles and
criticims put to rest.
I notice that one of the Triune cor
RESPONDENTS says that government
ownership would he a political men
ace"
When have the railroads not been
a political menace?
cannot remember the time when
they were not more or less up to their
elbows in politics.
They have been accused of bribing
courts. corrupting legislatures, sub
zidizfng newspapers and in any num-
Der of ways debauching politics.
Their presidents and other high
officials have been accused Of water
ing stocks, and deliberately planning
to wreck the roads for the purpose of
plumber
Along these and other lines ~pri-
vate ownership" for years has been
a national scandal
private ownership" has been accus-
ed of granting rebates to private
firms and discriminating in favor Of
some cities against other cities. They
have been accused of making some
towns to the ruin of others.
Indeed the charges of extortion.
discrimination and other charges
lodged against the railroads under
private ownership would fill many vol
umes.
Mr.. McAdoO estimates the govern,
ment's loss during it's brief operation
of the roads at $136,000,000 but this
loss was occasioned by the payment
of the allotment in rentals allowed to
the owners. which as in all other
things, the government was most gen
erous, but as big as the loss appears
on the surface, it was more than an
Offset by the single item of coal the
price of which was $l4O00O,00O more
than it was the preceding ten months
the difference in the price paid to en-
ployes amounted to between 5000
