The Free Silver issue of 1896 was thus handled
and laid away to eternal rest. The present gov
crnment ownership DOGGY should be capable OF
being handled even easier than that former issue
of Organism, since the people already have their
stomachs full of nearly two years of government
operation of the American railroads
The raising of the issue is really the bid of
the Democratic party politicians for the labor
VOTE especially the railroad labor vote See,
say these politicians to the railroad working man,
chow easy it is to obtain higher wages under
government ownership Vote for u.s." They pass
unnoticed, however, the higher rates that i'm
mediately had to be put into effect to pay the
higher wages. Higher rates that Immediately
entered into the cost of everything that the same
railroad working man had to buy with his in
creased wages. Higher rates that instantly rails
ed the living costs of every man. woman and child
in the United States.
Nor do these same politicians invite investiga-
ton of the rate of wages paid government en-
ployes in the one large industry that passed un-
der government ownership years ago, the post
office system, or of the years and years of al
most hopeless effort expended by postal en-
ployes trying to get government to raise their
wages to decent standard.
All these things and more, however, will be
brought to the light of day during the great edu-
cational campaign that lies ahead of the Ameri-
can people, The merits and dement's of private
ownership unrestrained of private ownership
restrained by that old maids institution the
Interstate Commerce commission, of govern
ment ownership under Director General McAdoo
at home and of government ownership and its
relation to the growth and strengthening of auto
cracy abroad, will be opened up for the studious
attention of the most intelligent mass of people
this globe. the American people. Sensible,
well-wishers of the republic, moreover, will not
worry as to what the final verdict of the Ameri-
can people will be- They know as they know
their fellow citizens that the days of director
generals are drawing to the same kind of a close

Government Ownership and 1920

Government ownership of railroads, tele-
phone, telegraph and cable lines will be the para
mount question before the American people at
the next election in 1929 Director General Nc
Adoos recent recommendation to congress indi-
Gates this very clearly. Expediency forces this
issue upon the Democratic party's politicians. By
espousing government ownership, they believe
they can retrieve their waning political fortunes
and continue their control of government
1t is shameful as well as highly dangerous
that our railroads should now become the football
of politics.
AS Professor William E. Chancellor, profess
sor of economics, Wooster college, succinctly
says, Railroads exist primarily essentially, and
finally, to carry persons and goods for the gen.
eral welfare They do not exist primarily, essen
TALLY, and finally, to provide work with wages
for 100000 men; or interest and dividends for
doubtless as many more investors; or markets
for equipment and materials from manufacturers
and contractors"
Professor Chancellor might we'll have added
that neither do the railroads exist primarily es-
sentially, and finally" to afford politicians an
easy road to power and pelf
Political control of the railroads means the
end of their development to serve efficiently the
needs of all the people and the beginning of their
use as political machines to advance the interests
of would-be political despots.
1t is a good thing the issue is being raised.
The best way to settle any issue is to fight it out
IN the open with the American people as judges.
