If We’ve Got Any Sense~If We Are Able
To See One Inch Beyond Our Noses-Well
Ask Congressman Fight Public Ownership
We believe that our owfn congress-
man from the 3rd District, Hon. Mor-
gan Sanders, stands head and should-
ers above the average? eomrressman.
We believe he thinks ahead—“sees
ahead”—as well ov • better than any
man whom the District ever sent to
. Washington. We bave been trying to
find time ever since the present Con-
gress convened to write! him ft friend-
ly letter and implead him to fight
with all his might against these
trends and cults afnd organized move-
ments favoring Government owner-
ship of public utilities—and implead
him further to do all he can to es-
tablish a policy of Govornmrtnt that
"..will cease to threaten and browbeat
and frighten business, big' business
and lit'tle business: for the unemploy-
ment problem is no nearer solution to-
day than it was when) Hoover stopped
down and out and th<V New Dea' took
the reins: There is'too much govern
ment1 regulation— and too much gov-
ernment doles and government molly-
coddling today—and if we think sb—
if we are tired and fed up to nausep
on the government’s poking its nose
into every activity of our lives, let’s
he perfectly honest and ^ frank with
our noh'e President and our congress-
men. Following is an editorial from
a West Virginia paper.-^It’s a little
long—.but we want yQii 'to read it.
Don’t .deliberatley kee”p jTKVrself ig-
norant and keep your moutn shut—-
and, then, when the gcveknnicfnt in
its socialistic trends owns everything
—and regulates everything from the
cradle te the grave—don’t raise the
devil thotn. It will be too lute—and
you will be the blame for it.
An Octupus?
ARE THE PEOPLE ASLEEP?
To this newspaper it is both sur-
prising and disconcerting that the
American people remair$ apparently
apathetic in the face of a pronounced
and well-supported movement toward
public ownership of the Nation’s rail-
roads.
It is a matter of common knowl-
edge that Senator Wheeler is prepar-
ing a hill providing for nationaliza-
tion of the carriers. In furtherance of
this purpose, the Senator has announc-
ed that he will introduce a resolution
calling for investigation of railroad
financing and operation. He. as chair-
man of the committee, would conduct
the investigation. The Senator knows
of course that the Interstate Com-
merce Commission for years ha« in-
vestigated railroad financing and rail-
road operation, approving or disap-
proving as it saw fit. He and those
supposing him can hope to do noth-
ing hut promote sentiment for aband-
onment of regulation in favor of qut-
.y
u
Not frightened by its name,
“eremurus himalaicus,” Miss May-
delle Bishop of San Antonio dis-
plays the strange octupus-looking
reation with a smile that says,
“It’s just a root.” The weird plant,
one of hundreds being planted in
the wild flower garden of Texas

randle, and grows to a height of 8
feet with a flower head of 4 feet
“ inches.
rignt public ownership.
The point sought here to be made
is that the public ownership movement
is an active, virile force; that it has
made appreciable headway and that
its success is entirely within the realm
of possibility. Tn other words, it is no
longer a topig of academic discussion,
hut a vital, immediate issue. Are the
American people aware of that} fact ?
Are they walling to see this country
undertake an enterprise that never
has succeeded elsewhere?Or do they
simply fail to realize the seriousness
of -the situation?
This newspaper is opposed to public
ownership of the railroads first, be
cause it believes the principle to he
unsound, and second, because expe-
rience has proven it to be economically

railroads have had a lower capitali-
zation than those of any other coun-
try. From the standpoint of service,
of wages, .of taxes, and of rates, cer-
tainly the history of government own-
ed and operated railroads elsewhere
does not invite government ownership
in this country.”
The railroads are not at present in

try, it is true. But for that matter,

Canada with a suc-
cessful privately owned railroad and
a tragically unsuccessful publtrlv own-
ed railroad funning side bv side. The
subject Was dealt, with recently in an
address before the Board of Trade and
Set vice Clubs1 of Vancouver, bv E. W.
Beatty. President of the Canadian Pa-
(if'c, rival of the publicly owned Ca-
nadian National. Describin'.' Du* Ca-
nadian railroad situation as unsound
and unhealthy, Mr. Beatty raid:
“I do Pot know why we should con-
tinue to he sick just became we have
heretofore been able to pay the doc-
tor’s hills. The railway experiments
of the past, have left us with a public-
ly owned system which has a debt of
no less than $2,895,799,134, as of De-
cember 31, 1933. These are astronom-
ical figures. They still tend to increase.
By no ingenious method of bookkeep-
ing can they be reduced.
“More than this, however. I should
like to know if you people have ever
given a moment’s serions thought to
the question of whether the owner-
ship of one of the transportation sys-
tems of this country by private in-
terests constitutes an opportunity for
exploitation. Do you realize that tho
publicly owned and privately owned
railways of Canada make exactly the
■came charges for the same service,
that, in fact, in the last analysis,
neither company fixes these rates,
i “Nor, is this all. May I point out
y 'to yon that this Royal Commission on
Transportation reported that during
the nine years, 1923-1931, the Canad-
ian National Railways failed by no
less than $456,063,195 to earn the in-
terest which the Government of Can-
ada was bound to pav to private cap-
italists who owned the securities of
that system. Whence came this sum
of almost half a billion dollars? You
nnid as mirh for the service of that,
railwnv system as you -would if it had
hern privately owned, and you paid
In taxes almost half a billion doWnrs
in those nine years to private capit-
alists for the privilege of saving thal
von owned the Canadian National
Rai'wavs.”
Nor is Canada alone in , this expe-
rience. It is perhaps true'that in ev-
ery instance where public omwrshin
war adopt ml as a national policy, it
was thrust upon the country. In Ger-
many and France, it was a military
measure. In seme of the smaller
countries of Europe there was not. puf
fiotent private capital available. In
each of these instances, the experi-
ment has been costly, and, according
to reliable observers, the. trend in con-
tinental Europe of late is away Dorn
public ownership. In Belgium and It-
aly, for example, the roads have been
turned over to private companies for

financial dififictilties if business4 gener-
ally is reestablished on a sound basis.
If business, is not* so reestablished. U
can’t make much difference who owns
the railroads or anything else. Got1"-"'
tain it. is that 'there is no public hope
in saddling the railroad burden upon
the taxpayers, even if the properties
could b« thus operated economically!
and efficiently, which no thoughtful j
peraon believes.
Ifn the light of the experience of
o'th.er nations with public ownership
of railroads, and our own war-time
experience with public operation, thi-'!
newspaper cannot believe that the
American people -are willing to take
this step. But they may find they
have fatten it without their consent

views upon the gentlemen represent-
