The conviction was set aside
in 1856 as a result Of ~ u. s.

Big businessmen. however, APP
parently do not believe this prop
uganda themselves. Whenever they
have encountered financial troub-
les they have gone to the govern
ment and asked to be bailed out.
This was true in the 30s when
the banks were failing. 1t is true
once again as the American rail-
roads find themselves in more and
more trouble because of competi-
ton from the airlines and truck
ing industry.
The railroads, many of whom
got their franchises, rights-Of-
way and other privileges from
the government, are once again
cIamoring for subsidies and spec
ial treatment. They point out
that other segments of Amer
lean industry, including those
with far fewer financial troub-
les, have received subsidies.
So they, too, want a Federal
handout.
The pleas for help from the top
railway executives would be more
impressive however, if they were
inclined themselves to accept sal
aries more in keeping with the
impoverished circumstances of
which they complain. Yet recent
reports to the Interstate Commerce
Commission disclose that even on
those railroads near bankruptcy
the top executives are all drawing
higher salaries than the President
of the United States.
This is what the reports show:

THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED
It was old Commodore Vanderbilt,
tycoon of an earlier era, who is
credited Cor libeled) with the COM
ment that the public be damned"
if it did not like the service it was
getting from his enterprises. This
attitude still persists among the
railroad cars.
AS new competition developed
they made no serious efforts to
keep up or improve service, for
commuters or cross-country trav-
ellers.
They sulked and walled and con-
tinue to draw their high pay. Per-
haps the comment made by cru
sading journalist at the beginning
of the century Crank Norris in
THE Octopus, 1901 should not
be literally applied; yet it does not
e completely inappropriate,
either.
The men who own the railroads
are wicked, bad-hearted men who
don't care how much the poor
people suffer, so long as the road
makes its Is million a year." he
wrote.
One of the men who is mentioned
as possible Democratic dark
horse" presidential candidate, Gov.
Robert B. Meyner of New Jersey,
has now proposed an ambitious
plan to subsidize the commuter
railroads in his state to the tune
of some $63O,OOO, 900 in the next
% years. He wants SURPRISES di-
verted from the New Jersey Turn
pike Authority.
The plan may or may not be
good. But it seems to me that if
the public is to substitute the rail-
roads to this extent, it should have
big say in their management and
ownership. So far all the plans I
have read about make no mention
of this point. The railroad exec
utives apparently regard such sug-
gestions as "socialistic" Are out
right subsidies less "socialistic" ?
