suppose the time will come when
the government will have to own

common carriers they are quasi
public institutions and as such are
legitimate objects of government

How, then, this being the
ease, if Congress cannot manage
them, if it does how to
manage them, are we to
them, just as we we
come to own
There is just one thing worse
than the owning the
railroads, and that is the railroads
owning the government. Upon
no other than the fear that
this might come to pass can
ownership be justified.
This is a fearful thing to
