REORGANIZATION NEEDED
THE interstate commerce commission report shows
that the Kansas City Southern railroad can be re
produced for $16.274,:5G3, or reproduced less depreciation
for $:i8,238,iX)9. Yet the railroad is capitalized for 99,
0.12,000, and the jieoplc are asked to jiiy interest by exces
sive rate charges on over $50,000,0 XJ of water.
The Kansas Citv, Pittsburg & (iulf, a subsidiary, issued
f 1").279,(KI0 in securities against an actual money outlay of I
.1;V-'S8,751. J lore was :!0,t)00,000, or two-tlurds of the
capitalization, water. This money enriched the multi
millionaires of Wall street and the people pay the freight.
What is true of this railroad is more or less true of
every railroad operating in the country. Many of the rail
roads received, in addition to their unearned capital, large
land subsidies, which were manipulated to enrich the fin
anciers, while their value was included in the capitaliza
tion of the company to swell the total the public is asked to
pay rates upon as investment.
The constitution authorizes congress "to regulate com
merce with foreign nations and among the several states."
The grant of power is absolute. It is a power that has not
been used to any extent. Yet the time is ripe for its use.
Congress has the power to sweep away all restriction, to
regulate rates, traffic, wages, capitalization and state
usurpations.
At the first effort to use this power, the railroads are
in revolt and appealing to the courts. Yet the time has
come to end for all time crooked railroad financiering, to
end strikes and lockouts, and
portation and service to meet
lacing the nation.
