RADICALISM A SCARE

The American Federation ,of Labor
does not intend that the radicalism OF
certain labor associations which are
in no manner related to the Fedora.
ton shall dominate the policies of
whatever administration is elected in
November.
The American Federation in sup
porting the LaFollette candidacy in
tends to foster its program of con-
sentative management of public af-
fairs to the good of all classes, and
believes that the "scare of radicalsm'
thrown into the campaign by the
metropolitan press and evidently in
spired by the capitalistic wing of the
Republican and Democratic parties, is
nothing more nor less than an adroit
move on the part of campaign diree-
tors to deceive the public.
The "scare of radicalism" was
thrown into the campaign in England
before the election of Ramsey Nc
Donald. The capitalistc press oil
England predicted the utter annihila
ton of government organization, thu
failure of every great banking inter

ensues when the finance of a nation
becomes unstable.
Nothing of this kind occurred il

Such "scare" is the height Of

Revolutionary transitions in gov
eminent on the whole are bad, be-
cause the first cost usually lays a
heavy burden upon the very people
whose chief desire is to be unburd-
ened. The purchase of the entire
American railway system by the gov
eminent just now is probably out OF
the question. But the purchase of one
or more of the cross country railways
that are known financial failures
through private ownership would be 4
practical experiment, and might serve
to settle much disputed question.
The American Federation of Labor
does not advocate the confiscation of
railroad property. 1t advocates pur-
chase instead of tonfscation. 1t is
also willing that the transition shall
come by evolution and not revolution
thus relieving the masses from an ex-
cessive burden of taxation. But on
the whole the Federation of Labor
believes that the American govern
ment should approach the question of
public ownership of railways, mines
and other great public utilities in
telligently, and with the aim of ulti.
mately adopting a more practical and
economical system of operation.

the public that is too great to bear
then and there private ownership
should cease, and public ownership
should begin.
This is the actual situation which
now obtains in the operation Of
privately owned public utilities. The
railroads claim that the increased
cost of maintenance demands higher
freight rates. Such rates as are now
required are almost prohibitive; yet
these rates are necessary if sufficient
dividends are paid to stockholders to
warrant continuing their investments.
The common sense of the average
proletarian will readily lead him to
the conclusion that the operation and
maintenance of the American railway
system upon an expense basis, in
stead Of upon a dividend paying basis,
is a wise and therefore practical
alternative.
1t is possible that the government
is not now in a financial condition TO
purchase the railroads and other pub
lie utilities and operate them upon
an expense basis; but if this is true
it does not strengthen the argument
of the advocates of private ownership
to raise the cry of radicalism aud
panic.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-10-10

Government ownership Of railroads
and other large utilities now termed
radical measure among certain
classes, appears to work well in other
countries. The Post Office depart
ment does not appear to be less ell
cient because it is operated by the
government. The highway system,
government owned and controlled, Is
not suffering. The toll gates are
abolished where individuals or small
corporations built highways or bridges
and compelled the public to pay toll
for the privilege of passing; the old
fashioned ferry is equally obsolete.
America is rapidly coming to 4
point where the private ownership
of public utilities, such as railroads.
will be as obsolete as the toll gate
and ferry.
Yet any proposal to place the rail
roads or other public utilities under
ownership and control of the gov
eminent calls forth the uninvItlng
term "radcalism," from a small per
cent of American people who receive
large dividends from the private own
ership of railroads.
Government control as adapted dur
ing the recent war, was doomed TO
failure. When larger dividends than
ever before were paid to stockholders
and higher salaries were paid to
swivel chair men. Government own
ership, with stock invested in the gov
eminent as is the case with the hare
roads of the country, would be an
entirely different thing. How such
government ownership and control
would bring panic to the farmers ano
industries, if operated on a purely
government ownership basis, is diff
cult for the proletarian to see. Ger
tainly it is begging the question, Il
view of the fact that actual govern
ment ownership of railroads has never
been tried out in America, to assert
that any attempt to establish public
ownership of railroads and public
utilities is sure to bring panic.
If the logic of opponents of gov
eminent ownership were straight We
might look about and find the Pos
Office department in rundown con
dition, and the American highway
system running to mud and quick
sand. On the contrary the logic D
private ownerhsip, is extremely faulty
when applied to public utilities which
are now functioning successfully un
der government ownership.
