By WALTER SPLAWN
From 1891 to 1922 inclusive there
were constructed in Texas 7511
miles of railroad, an average of 285
Bailee a year. The eoet as reported
to the Commission was 8458,000,000
or about 814,000,000 per year, This
brought the total railway mileage
of the state up to about 16,000 miles.
Thus far we have been tracing
the development of railroad mileage
in Texas. We have noticed the ex-
tent to which the state aid waa sup-
plied the railroads and the eager-
ness with which Die public en-
couraged railway construction.
At first it was supposed that the
railroad business might be conducted
as any other; that is to say, it was
thought that competition would be
sufficient to regulate railroads and
assure fair rate^and adequate ser-
vice, just as ^competition is relied
upon ,in various lines cf business
activity. During the past fortx^fc'-
years . of th&., country,
have been definitely brought under
the close regulation of state and
federal governments. We can under-
stand thig_only af8er an inquiry into'
thfTTauses of a change in the atti-
tude of the public toward the car/
riers. This change amounted to a
hostility toward the old method of
management without regulation. In
these articles we will speak-of hos-
tility toward the railroads; mean?
ing by that phrase, hostility’ toward
the practices that came to be ob-
jectionable and which were attri-
buted to lack of public regulation.
The growth in Texas of hostility
toward the railroads may not be
explained apart from conditions
which pWfrBtied in other parts of
the United States. It is both south-
ern and weatern. Before the Civil
war the development of Texas was
an extension of the old South. After
the OtVil War tHaP^velopment has
been much that of a -western- state.
Texas has developed intimate and
important commercial relations with
both the Middle West and the At-
lantic seaboard. The industrial dis-
turbances and upheavals in public
opinion which took place in the
north and west during the first
twenty-five years after the Civil
War greatly affected the thinking
and conclusions of the people of
Texas. Let us now inquire how this
came about. While the facts set
forth in these articles have been
generally known for many years,
yet the re-statement of them ia jus-
tified by the light they shed upon
the origin and development of hos-
tility in Texas toward railroad com-
panies.
One source of discontent which
prevailed throughout the country as
well as in Texas was the fall of
prices after the Civil War. Debts
had been freely contracted in a de-
preciated currency. After the War
the currency began to increase in
value to the embarrassment particu-
larly of those in the west who had
borrowed to purchase land or to
make improvements. Prices fell and
debtors found it very difficult to
secure means of payment for obliga-
tions incurred during the period of
inflation. In times of stress every
source of expense is closely scruti-
nized. Very naturally freight rate*
were looked upon by shippers and in
turn by the consuming public.
