VI1AT THE RAILROADS
DID
The political group that la attacking
the railroads on tne grounds of inflated
valuation la objecting to the land granta
of former times It is a characteristic
point of view properly described in plain
American as welching The assumption
is that these land! grants were frauds
upon the people — exorbitant bribes to
ruthless wealth
None of these critics we are confident
is anxious to embark his own money in
enterprises each as the pioneer railways
represented lines running into new
country with little population and traffic
enterprises which were pledged to a
long voyage to success and which were
swept by many a storm But it is easy
in this generation to forget the hazards
of its predecessors while accepting all
the benefits they risked everything to
establish
There is significance hi some obser-
vations contributed to the Cedar Rapids
(lews) Republican by a veteran farmer
of that prosperous commonwealth and
we parallel the point of view of the
modern welcher with the following:
"Why Ur Editor 1 have raised and
garnered sixty-nine large or small crops
in the state sf Iowa I cure have seen
many changes Ihave hauled as fine
pork as ever was dressed frozen hard
and sold for 237 1-2 per hundred at
Me Gregor four days to make the trip
not such roads those days I have re-
ceived 2450 per barrel for hauling salt
from Dubuque to Independence And
with what rejoicing we welcomed our
first railroad how cheerfully we helped
how thankful we were that there was
money in Europe that oould be borrowed
and how anxious we were to give a
portion of our public lands anything
everything to secure transportation
' for without transportation our country
was practically valueless as trans-
portation is justes necessary as produc-
tion ’ And there ever would and could
have attained a - spirit of friendliness
between the railroad managers and the
farmeos had it not bees for the virus
ss vociferously dispensed by the blath-
er akite seeking political preferment "
We don’t believe the American farmer
respects welching 4 bargain and of
all bargain ing e ver dcme by a community
the bargaining to stimulate investment
in railroad extension was the wisest
and heat rewarded The west would be
today a sparsely settled and primitive
region if it had not been for these bar-
gains which encouraged men to put
money and brains into the building of
railroads out across the prairies and
plains and mountains of what was then
a continental wilderness But the
Americans of those days had faith an
foresight and their leaders were not
vote-eathing among the ignorant and
thoughtless So the railroads were wel-
comed and made possible by the offer
ot terms which justified the risk they
represented and the result was that
the winning of the west was a swiftly
moving epic of daring and energy As
for giving away land it was given for
railroads for canals for free factory
sites— andmostof it was given to private
individuals for nothing That was what
it was worth until human energy went
into It and it was trasnsportatlon —
chiefly the railroads — which made it
worth what it is today For every acre
of land given to railroads they paid ser-
vice which enriched every other tare
Instead of long generationsof painful
advance it waa accomplished in a gen-
eration and accomplished by and because
of the American railroad And today
the railroads are the life of the agri-
cultural empire founded on its service
If there is common sense in us we shall
not be led aatray on that fact If it is
good politics to attack them unjustly
misrepresenting them exaggerating
their defects raising ynreasoning hos-
tilities and unfair criticism it is because
we have forgot the peat and do not
understand the present or foresee the
future
Butwedo not think it is going to prove
good politics to preach in any disguise
doctrines of repudiation Given time
to think our people are neither yellow
nor red (Editorial Reprint from Chicago
Tribune of September 23 1923)

The Words off
A NatioinialDy
Known Expert
"The day of the isolated electric plant is past The
modern development which is giving the public better
service at lower rates is toward the construction of
super power plants at points where fuel and trans-
portation are cheaper and where there is an abun-
dance of water for condensation purposes
These super-power plants in many cases are in the
onen country entirely away from the big cities
High-voltage transmission lines carry the electrical
energy to many cite3 towns and villages
It will only be a few years before the entire coun-
try will be webbed with interconnecting high-power
transmission lines The isolated plant will be no
more and the small generating station will disappear
Maximum economies and efficiencies will be develop-
ed service will be better and rates lower New in-
dustries will spring up and old ones will expand and
out of it all the public will be the greatest beneficiary
Public utilities require the constant application of
sound business judgment expert operation and
skilled management and above all continuity of wise
business policies"
