On the mention of the ownership
of railroads by the government ' the

democratic schools become scenic if

It is probable that "our innocent
oliLtiuia politicians, not given to the

tariff was eased up a little, would
not the dailv toilers pay for them (by
1922, and allow the 30,000 with their
wealth to c-ujoy. cheap . rides and
cheap freights on ihe goverumeiit's
railroads, and pay nothing for thejm?
If our statesmen could be assured
of thcses facts it would not cost tbem
no thouhtjave them trom their Sn
vincihle jiorror and from the paan
ful work'of "straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel?' It would
save them, too, fro'mx the drfficult
breathing caused by attempting ti
have a new ideal.
I The government, a the people,
has the absolute right to recall the
railroad franchise, which is always a
defeasible title to be divestetl for a
sufficient reason, and revested, in the
sovereign people. Government is In
stituted ou . the idea that private
rights must yield to the general
good. It la pursuant to this prinjei
p!e that the railroads obtained their
franchises, andpurtmant to the sahie
principle they iaust. peld back he
right in turn to the higlter right
auel sovereign' well being of tjlie
country. The franchise is granted
upon the express or implied condi
tion that it shall not be used to 1;be
injury of the citizens; , and if it js so
used, the condition is violateel, and
the franchise may be reclaim ?d
On this ground, there is no doubt
that the government may justly
possess itself of the railroads. Hut
especially may it -do so by paying i.he
equitable value of the roads. This
is the just, the easy aud the natural
solution of the apparently perplexing
4Uestoin
The government "has both the le
gal and the moral right to own and
to control the railroads. As a ques
tion, hot pf prudence and good poli
cy, ought the government to ovn
them?. When truly considered, in
the lightiof reason, this proposition
must be answered in the affirmative.
