Tha New Time for October contain an
article 00 the advantages of govern
mental ownership of railroads, written
by 11.0, Flower- Mr, Flower says
of tha various combination of capital
whose powr during recent yuan In
shaping legislation prejudlcl to tha po
pis bo been equaled only by their open
defiance and cunning evasion of existing
enactments, perhaps none I so essenti
ally lawkHW aud dangerous to republican
Integrity and national prosjsirlty a the
railroad monopoly, which might almoat
be called the father of modern commer
elal brigandage. Tha railroad compan lea
have utlllred tha monopoly tbny have
enjoyed of possessing tha nation's high
wnya to enrich Individuals far beyond
any possible result of legltlinata earn
ings, while oppressing tha people and
fostering a spirit of reckless gambling.
Thay have corrupted legislation and cre
ated and secured seats ou the Judicial
benches for their well-paid attorney.
They bar pursued all 'loeslble methods
to exact from public servant a subscrvi'
ucy which ha resulted In the shameful
prostitution of their high and acred
trusts at the bidding of the railroad
tfiaiiawira. Nor have they stopped here.
Individual aud whole communities bare
been forced Into aarvlle submission
through tha abue of tha power which
the hold a common carrlere which
place the wealth producer at their
narcy, 'Jul point I forcibly presentwi
by ex-Governor William Lurrubee, ol
Iowa, In tha fallowing word:
"The practical operation of tbi system
coon allowed to railroad manager their
power and to the patron of railroad
their dependence upon tboee who dis
pensed railroad favor. - - jis
crimination between liidlviduiil I tha
moat objectionable, because It I the
most demorallisinir of all, It make of
independent cltixeii of a free country
fawning paraeitea and obsequious syco

ding however humiliating It may be.

Hlowiy Out steadily lias tn ran roan
octopu thrown coll niter coil around
national, etate and municipal bodice,
while It favor or its puulNliment en
forced ailenca upon a (Miopia wholly
asleep to (lie natura and extent of the
danger they were tolerating, until tho
evil Tma growu to audi giant-like fro
portloua that they now seorn almoat
pnrulyted in tha presence of a power
which la autreiiched throughout all the
ramilicutlon of government.
'l b la corrupt and corrupting monop
oly ho proved an inspiration even
wheia it bo not lieen a powerful aid In
foateriug other monopolies, no-called
truate, and combiuatlou of capital,
which acquire vastly more wealth than
they legitimately earn at tho expense of
tha prorlty, happiness, and hi aome
iiiatanoea even tha very life of Individ
ual. The linjicratlve demand for govern
mental ownorahlp of railways cannot be
Ignored much longer if the people are to
maintain even the scinlilimci of free
government, for it I a fact well known
to all students of hitorr that uny
power which i liable to corrupt the
governmental fuiiutionarie and secure
and retain eiiecial privileges on tha ona
band, while it hold a considerable
number of the people at It mercy ou

affnrd a truly typical example, al
though the uujuet exactlona there are
be no means so erreat as other cuaea
which mluht ba cited.
Tha data from which I draw the fol
lowing facta arc obtained from a com
prehenaive review ol praaent oonditlona
recently made by Juetlce WaiUr Clark,
Aj, IK, of the supreme ocncu 01 norm
Carolina. Juetlca Clurk has won a
national reputation from his emi

enlightened spirit and hi wide know
ledge ol law. Ilia integrity 01 purpoee
la oulv annulled by bia ability, hence hi
premutation baa the value of being au
thoritative and aouud from a Judicial
atandpolnt.
Iteeemetbat the statute of North
Carolina require the railroad to pay a
certain tax 011 the real valuation of their
proiierty embracing the value of their
fraud! ies (N. C, Acta, J 805; chape. MO,
eec, 45.) The railroad commleaioner
placed the full valuation of the railroad
property In North Carolina at f !M,000,
000, which the railroad official declared
to ba too high a valuation, The court
have ruled for the guidance of the rail
road commleelorier of the etate that the
rate must not ba placed too low to af
ford "u reaeonablu internet on the ac
tual value of the property above reason
able expeneee," Now It would eeem that
there ahould be no difficulty in arriving
at a different 'understanding with the
above ruling as a guide, and such would
be the eoaa If noneaty and Malice ruiui.
It la true there might be a rjueetkm ua
to the amount of Internet which wue
rnoeonabla, Juetlce Clark point out
th fact that on o large au fnvetmeut
0 per cent would be a good Interest, a
government bond at that figure are at

no complaint could be made. Tulele

ation of the raliroude ol the elate wu
fixed at f 20,000,000 and the railroad
autborltle IneleUjii that that woe an
amount in excee of their worth these
enmc road are bonded aud etocked for
f 01,000,000. "It la clear," therefore,
eaya Juetica Clark, "that rate IiIkIi

upon the latter sum are uroMely in ex
ceee of what is Juet to thepublic, Freluht
and travel are thu being taxed to pay

'J he tax whleh the people of North
Carolina are yearly paylug to tbe rail
road barone under modern commercial
fi-udallem I clearly ehown by the follow
Ing facte: The total vuluation of the

almost four-fifths of the total valuation

the railroads, while their book have
not been eubJiKiUid to examination or
ineiiection. "ileuce It la Impossible to
know whether in pro rating they have
allowed the North Carolina road as

The liurliugton & Missouri Itallroad
company owne four miles of track and

This track and depot were constructed
In consideration of 1 100,000 In bonds

The company wu so well satisfied with
bis work in Its behalf, that he represent
ed it a It attorney at Columbus from
that time until bis election to Hie ui

In IHMil. a new udiulal district was
created, emu raclnu tne counties 01 mm 11

appointment ua judge
of thl district
were M. I), insise, w. n.
Marshall and A.
M. I'oat. The latter received the ap
pointment from Governor Du we, neither
Iteese nor Marshall having a railroad

Justly, Tost was notoriously reputed
amomr luwver to be unlalr and parti
san In railroad cases. Ills Instructions
In this class of cases were commonly
retered to by the bur as tbe closing argu

Many of Post's decision were ao-
pealed to tha an prom court and, al
though be is considered to be au able
lawver.lt Is true, a shown by actual
count, that lust hull of bis decisions
were reversed. Judges Maxwell and
Iteese were then ou the supreme bench,
i here have Ixieii soms very poor law
yers on the district bench of this state,
but it Is doubtful if there bus ever been
another Judge who has had half of bis
Judgments disapproved by tbe highest
court of the state.
Post' course 011 the district bunch was
so sutisfuclory to the railroads that

for the supreme bench, where ha hu

The local republican orirun recently re

fact that he never (ilea a dissenting opin

the court. 1'raclicully be is the court

In the decisions overruling them.
