I RAILROADS AND PROGRESS. In his testimony before the senalo commltteo on Interstate commerce at Wnshlngton on 1\1 a ) ' 4 , Prof. Hugo It. Me'or of the Chicago university , all expert on railroad management. made this statement : "Let us loolt at what might have \ hapIJenecI If we had heeded the prOo t" tests of the farmers of New Yorl , and Ohio nnd Penns'lvnnla ( In the 70's , when grain from the west began pourIng - Ing to the Atlantic seaboard ) , and acted upon the doctrine which the Interstate - terstato commerce commission has enuncIated time and again , that no mnn may bo deprIved of the a4- vantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. Wo could not have west or the 1\Iisslsslppl population of millions of 11eoplo who are prOSI1erous and are great can- , sumers. 'Ve never shou have seell the 'ears when we built 10,000 nnd . ' 12,000 mJles of railway , for there would ha..e been no farmers west at the : Mlsslsslppl river who could hl1vo used the land that would have beell opened up by the building of these railways. And If wo had not seen the years when we coul build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of rnllway a year , wo should not ha..o to.cIay east of the 1\IIsslsslppi n steel and Iron producIng - Ing center , which Is at once the marvel - vel and the despair of Europe. because , we could not have built up 11. steel and I Iron Industry If there had been o ' marltet for Its pro uct. Wo could not have In New England , 11 great boot and shoo Intlllstry : we . / could not have In New England a , great cotton milling Industry : we I could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufacturing - ufacturing Industrfes of the most di- . . . . .erslfied 1t1ncIs , because those Industries - tries would have no marlet among the farmers west of the l\lIsslsslppl rhar , And while the progress of this country , while the development at \ the agricultural west of this country , did mean the Impairment of the agricultural - ricultural value east of the 1\1IsslsslpPI _ I rIver , that ran l1p Into hundreds ot millions of dollars , It meant Incldent- ' \ ally the building up of great manufacturing - facturing Industries that added to the value of this land by thousands ot millions or dollars. An , fentlemen , these things , voro not foreseen In the ' 70's. The statesmen and the publlo men of this countr ) ' ld not see what part the agricultural development ot the west was going to play in the Industrial - dustrial development of the cast , And ) 'ou may read the decisions of the I Interstate commerce commission from the first to the last , and what Is ana ; of the greatest characteristics of these . , decisions ? The continued Inability to see the question In this largo wa1. The Interstate commerce commission - sion never can see an'lhlng more than thnt the farm land of some farmer - er Is decreasing In value , or that some man who has a flour mill with a pro. ductlon of fifty barrels a day Is , beIng - Ing crowded out , It never can see that the destruction or Impairment or farm values In this Illace means the building up of farm values In that place , nnd that that shifting of . . . .alue9 Is a necessary Inclder.t to the Indus- trlnland munufacturlng development or this country. And If we shall glvo to the Interstate commerc commIssion - sion power to regulate rates , wo shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlll.o basin on which the ) ' ha..o been regulatcd In the past by the railway men , who really hav ! ) been great statesmen , who reully have been great bull ers of emlJlres , who ha..e hnd an Imagination that rivals the Imagination of the greatest poet aud of the greatest In..ontor , and who have operate with a courage and daring - ing that rivals the courage and darIng - Ing of the greatest military goneral. Dut wo shall have our rates regulated by 11. body of civil servants , bureau. crnts , WhOFO besetting sin the world over Is that they never can grasp 11. l situation In a largo wa ) ' an with th& 7 grasp of the statesman : that they ne..er cnn see the fact that they arB confronted with a small evil : that that evil Is relatlvoly small , and that. It cannot be corrected except by the creation of evils and nbuses which are Infinltoly greater than the on& that Is to bo corrected.
