HUMAN NATURE

Every serious reform is met by
the argument that human nature can
not be changed. A Yale professor
has written a book on the idea. When
we suggest government ownership OF
railroads and of ships, OR even city
ownership of a gas plant, we are told
that it won't work because humans
are a selfish lot. Put any of them in
office and they begin grating and
negelecting the public interest. Hence
the only thing we can do is to let
things run along as they are until
such time as human nature is made
over.
The argument is as foolish as it is
common because we want government
ownership of certain things for the
very reason that man is by nature
selfish.
We have given a Hill a railroad
monopoly of an inland empire and ex-
pected him to act in the interests OF
the public. We let Morgan manipu-

RAILROAD FACTS

The Plumb Plan league is render
ing the country service in making
good fight against fraudulent railroad
securities. The railroad interests are
trying to get government backing for
all the water poured into the roads.
And with possible return to private
ownership they want also guaran
teed return on the water and huge
loan to put the roads in shape to do
good work. In other words, we will
put up the money and let a few
schemers do the spending of it.
The league puts the figures on rail-
road worth as follows:
"The railroads of the country are
worth from 81, 900, 100000 to $13,
OOO,OOO,OOO.
That is far more than they cost the
owners.
But that is what they are worth
today according to the stock quota
tions on wall street. -
The interstate commerce commits
sion has been valuing railroads under
the La Toilette bill and from the
valuations thus far completed the
railroads are worth about $12,00O,-
100000.
"But the railroads are claiming a
value of $20,000,000,0
They are demanding that congress
shall recognize the fictitious watered
securities and insure the owners a
minimum of per cent interest upon
them. This is the main purpose OF
the bills introduced into congress by
the railway owners.
"In other words, they demand that
the workers of America, the farmers
of America, the manufacturers and
producers of America, shall pay them
a minimum in interest charges OF
81 100000 a year. If they get
possession of they roads they may
demand $1,600,000,000. The govern
ment is now paying the railroads
$900,000,000 rental.
GIVE HIM JUSTICE
All hail the dawn of new day break
ing,
When a strong armed nation shall
take away
The weary burden from backs thaI
are aching
With maximum labor and minimum
pay;
When no man is hoonred who boards
his millions,
When no man feasts on another's
toll,
And Gods poor suffering, starvine
millions
Shall share his riches of sun ant
soil.
Shame on the owner of mines who's,
And selfish measures have brough
him wealth,
While the ragged wretches who dis
his fuel
Are robbed of comfort and hop;
and health.
Shame on the ruler who rides in hi
carriage
ought with the labor of half-pai,
men
Men who are shut out of home an,
marriage
| And are herded like sheep in a how
Ell pen.
Let the clarion voice of the natiol
wake him
To broader visions and fairer play
Or let the hand of a just law shak
: him
Till his ill-gained dollars shall TO
away;
Let no man suffer with want an
cold;
We want right living, not mere aims
giving,
We want just dividing of labor an
/. gold.
