BUGABOO OF SOCIALISM IS HOISTED
(LaOroad Managers Declare Rata
ehedales Csaaol Be Fixed by
Other Tbaa Experienced
Railroad Men.
The bugaboo of socialism and fraternal
Ism has been raised and made to shake
Its matted locks, with a view to scaring
away those who might come around to
the administration view as to the right
course to pursue In handling the freight
rats regulation question. It's not an un
common thing to hear men of mature
years and array beards declaring that
freight rats control la the first step In
the direction of railroad confiscation, and
that nothing that has been put forward
by Mr. Bryan In ths campaigns of 1800 or
1898 could be more socialists than the
present proposals to have a government
board or commission say to the owners
' of railroads, "Tou may charge so much,
but no more." Tet all agree that there
a re conditions with respect to the com
mon carriers of ths country that should
be corrected.
There Is no difference of opinion In
Washington on ths question that some
thing should be dons. It's only the ques
tion of how It should be brought about
Every railroad man who talks about the
railroad rate agitation turns toward the
present Interstate Commerce commission.
' Hs points out that Its personnel Is made

np of men who got their places, not be
cause they distinguished themselves in the
railroad world, bnt because they had good
political backing, or did have, until it
dropped away, and there was a disposi
tion on the part of the then chief execu
tive to save them from retirement to pri
vate life. Then Mr. Railroader says:
"Now, look here, old man, frankly. If you
had a property that had taken years for
Its development and many millions of dol
lars, with your executive ability and man
agement and private enterprise and pri
vate thrift, had brought to its present
value, would you want to see the govern
ment ruthlessly step In and take It out
of your hands and manage It through the
personnel of the present Interstate Com
merce commission 7"
Then they go ahead and tell you how
ths changing of the smallest and least
Important of the rate schedules makes It
necessary to change all of them, and how
the whole system of rates Is like a house
of cards, the displacing of one bringing
the whole tumbling down. They tell you
also that their rate experts get In salaries
sums equal almost to the combined sala
ries of the members of the Interstate Com
merce commission. They listen impatiently
to the suggestion that the government can
pay as much and can command as much
In the way of talent and ability as private
corporations.
Railroads Hot Inactive.
There Is a strong railroad side of the
present agitation. This was most evident
In Washington during the past winter,
when the finest suites of rooms at the
principal hotels were occupied by the rati
road agents and attorneys, and during the
past few weeks, when special salaried
pleaders for the roads have appeared one
after the other and were examined by
senators friendly to the Interests they rep
resent. All this has had an effect, too,
It has, from present Indications, defeated
all possibility of passage of any such
measure as went through the house of
representatives last session and bore the
name of the Esrh-Ton nsend bill. Railroad
Interests already congratulate themselves
on this fact. Yet there Is no doubting that
those who have cried aloud against so
rlallsm have been pushed backward from
thslr position and have lost ground, and
that the legislation which will be evolved
will be In the direction of paternalism.
Last year the congress created a bureau
of corporations and gave It means and au
thority by which It could probe into the
private business operations of big corpora
tions engaged In Interstate commerce, ex
cept railroads. The beef corporation and
the oil corporation have recently been In
vestigated under this authority.
Now, one of the most prominent features
of the legislation to be evolved is Just such
inquisitorial powers as the bureau of cor
porations possesses. The proposal Is not the
child of socialistic minds nor the abstraot
thought of a wild-eyed, long-haired devotee
of paternalism, but the mature and delib
erate conclusion of some of our statesmen
accounted most conservative. Men of the
type of Spooner, arid Foraker, and Hale,
and like Connecticut Piatt, recently de
ceased, subscribe to the proposal that the
government should exercise Its Inquisitorial
function, through authorized agents, to see
that the common carriers observe the pro
hibitions of law against the giving of re
bates and unjust discriminations.
Revival of Old Strnaale.
In congress It Is expected that during the
next busy and Intensely Interesting session
will be seen the old-time fight between the
men who believe In a strong and central
government and those who subscribe to the
principle that the union of states should be
a loose confederation. It will be a struggle.
In a way, between the followers of the
Hamilton and the Jefferson schools of, poli
ticsusing the term In Its correct and not
popular sense. It will be a repetition of the
struggles that marked past epochs In the
history of our government; a repetition of
the controversy that eventually ended In
the constitution being so construed that In
ternal Improvements might be made by the
central government or at that other time a
national bank might be established by the
central authority at Washington.
The growth and tendency In this direction
has been steady and observed by the close
students of governmental affairs. Those
who resent the suggestion that there is
anything paternal In our present govern
ment democracy lose sight of the many
really paternal functions of the govern
ment. No greater Inquisitorial commission ex
ists than that of the Board of Appraisers,
to which customs disputes are referred.
The members got salaries equal to those
of the members of the president's cabinet,
and when appointed to the places they hold
them for life, presuming that they are
faithful In the discharge of their duties.
These men send for witnesses and examine
most minutely into the private business of
Importers. They examine rival Importers
The Railroads And The People
A
SERIES of timely articles on the pending railroad problem, written by Edward
Rosewater, editor of The Bee, embodying the facts gathered and conclusions
reached in a third of a century's study of the question is now running in The Sun
day Bee. The topics treated are:
1. Railroads as Public Highways
2. Overcanltallxatlon and Stock Waterlog
3. Credit Moblllcr Construction
4. Consolidation and Pooling
5. Rebates and Discriminations
6. Railroad Domination, State and National
7. Railroad Legislation, -State and Mstlonal
8. Railroad Supervision or Government Ownership
These articles are written in popular form to be readily understood by the or
dinary reader. They give a general survey of the railroad situation from the
standpoint of the people, pointing out abuses and suggesting rational remedies.
Every one who wants to be thoroughly nformed on this uppermost of current
issues should read each one of these articles.
Fifth of Series in The Sunday Bee.
to establish the truth or falsity of declara
tions made to them or other representatives
of the central government at Washington.
Their proceedings are "star chamber" in
every sense. No record Is made of any of
the evidence submitted to them. Even
customs Inspectors, and, In fact, every
other officer of the government except only
the members of the board, are excluded
while they are examining witnesses. The
decisions made by this board are final and
no appeal to either the chief executive or
any presumably superior officer Is effective.
The United States supreme court has not
only confirmed In them this high authority,
but it has approved the right to refuse all
Information as to the evidence or other
determining facts that prompts the mem
bers of the board to their conclusions.
Some Other Kxamples.
Tn the management of the postal facili
ties of the country the central government,
operating the great stem at a loss, pro
ceeds on a socialistic principle. Its au
thority is strongly confirmed when It ex
ercises Its prerogative of practically Isolat
ing man through "fraud" orders by which
all mall addressed to him Is withheld from
the delivery and returned to the writer.
The bank Inspectors, through the system
In vogue under the comptroller of the cur
rency, not only examine at Intervals Into
the condition of banks, but they investigate
the standing of Individuals associated with
them, not accepting their unsupported
statements, but through an interchange of
Information gathered by examiners at all
of the populous centers, they reach Inde
pendent conclusions. The Judgment of the
comptroller of the currency, as the repre
sentative of the central government. Is at
times set up against that of the boards of
directors of great banking corporations, and
from his conclusion there Is no appeal, but
only the alternative of suspension.
The work of the Immigration Inspection
service is along socialistic lines, though
clearly marked out by national enactment.
For the common good the central govern
ment says who may and who may not enter
Uie ports of the t'nlted States and become
citizens and enjoy the advantages of our
Institutions and our democratic form of
government. For the common good our Im
migration commissioner enforces absolute
exclusion of at least one race.
Not the least important of the steps In
the direction of government advance to.
ward ths realm of socialism Is ths acquire
ment of the Panama railroad line with Its
connecting steamships plying between the
Atlantic ports of the t'nlted States and the
Atlantic port of the Isthmus. Quietly, and
without a word of protest along the lines of
the present railroad rlamor, the govornmnnt
has embarked In an experiment of govern
ment ownership. Suppose the government
conducts its Isthmian railroad as a common
carrier economically and puts the former
private ownership to shame. Suppose ths
Atlantic steamship line is operated with
ronounced success. The problem presented
and Its effect really does seem worth think
ing about. Washington Correspondence Bt.
