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. "
'Vealth ma ) ' not bring happiness ,
but most of us thlnle wo could get.
next to It If wo had 1I1e money.
