The Railroads and Government Control

A reader of the Chieftain makes the following
inquiry: During the it necessary to take the
railroads of the control of the corporations and turn
them over the government, in order get the best
results Now it is proposed to turn them back to the
corporations Why not continue with the system that
gets the best results7''
That is a fair question, and it deserves fair answer,
the it is doubtless question that is troubling
many persons at the present time.
The reason why the railroads were taken by
the government because there had arisen military
necessity which all ordinary business subordinate
Under ordinary conditions, there are two main pur
poses of operation to serve the people in the matter
of transportation: and to- enough money to pay
the costs of operation including fair profit Under

Importance whether civilian passengers carried, or
whether military freight transported whether
the railroads operated at profit. These things
did matter in comparison with the great need of

Now it is matter of record that in the matter of
public service both regards and regards

during the utterly unsatisfactory. The cost
of service to the public unreasonably high, the
far below the level to which the American
people accustomed and the ceneual tone of admin
stration was that of contemptuous disregard of the
rights and the opinion of the travelling and shipping
public.
1t may be that these conditions. wholly or in part
we're due to the exigencies of war, and that govern
mental operation in time of peace would give
sfactory results. That experiment has been tried
But the main point is that governmental operation Of
the railroads established military to
obtain military end requiring centralized and dcs-
potic control and this purpose exclusive of the
purposes for which railroads usually operated The
military purpose accomplished: the
But the railroads operated in the period with
a staggering of costs over income, which the
people pay, and with such disregard of the
military passengers and shippers to establish

operation
