That comâ€" Another‘ gross misrepresentation e ng the ‘speaker said ‘about land grants to rail He misâ€"stated the .cmam;’m milâ€" lion acres, while his en! presentaâ€" tion was deceptive. He said nothing about the value of these lands at the tilre they were granted, which is the real sure of what the public parted with, and hesaid nothing about the enormous ptiinenh which the railroad companies have made to the government on account of land grants, which equalled the value of the gifts themselves. The entire value ofjall the lands ‘given to every railâ€" d in this country at the time the ts were made was not one per cent of the ptuent cost of American railâ€" roads, and every dollar of such gifts has been repaid in many cases. c McAdoo and Wheeler and La Follette, The speech itself was a jumble of incoherent / assertions not connected with ofie another, and most of them | half: truths or gross exaggerations | and mmy of them simply false. |â€" For illustration, I will name one or The made a long and much reiterated statement about the operaâ€" gou the Nafiqn:)isé ‘Railways of ‘Ca now under the management of Sir Henry Thornton, who acquired all his jability as a railway manager on privately owned American 1&2; roads. |The speaker carefully omitted any statement of the financial results in Canada, while tryin* to create the impression that it is ‘a bright exâ€" ample Government ownership for America. In fact, it is no example at all.! â€" Thornton‘s offjicial reports show that his government owned sysâ€" tem is operating at a loss of millions every “yfiaur at the expense of the genâ€" ‘eral payers, if interest on the inâ€" vestm::;t is reckoned in, while side by side is the Canadian Pacific, priâ€" yately owned and privately managed,. charging the same rates.and making a\ good grofit. What an argument !or] government ownership! | THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK. ILLINO!N® RHT Need It .. The public at larke is not interested in the amount of bonds issued by any railroad company, nor in the rate of interest it pays. Rates p’a‘i: for carâ€" rying passengers and freight are apâ€" proved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and are based upon the value of the property devoted to the public use, regardless of the captial stock, or of the bonds or the rate of | interest. ; A J If this McAdoo is a fair sample, no wonder the "Progressive‘ cause has a poor standing among the intelligent people of Highland Park. ‘~~â€" Yours respectfully, .. Highland Park, Oct. 20, 1924. . ‘know that you cannot give space for a complete answer to what I can only describe as a discreditable harâ€" angue, Hearing it spoiled a lovely October Sunday afternoon for one lisâ€" tener. & 4 Another subject elicited applause, namely, that the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific Railroad Comâ€" panies bought the Burlington Railâ€" road in 1900 by an issue of 4 per cent ‘bonds, in a good bond market, and in 1920, when the bonds came due, in a very bad bond market, had to renew them on a six and a half per cent basis. It was an unfortunate situation for which nobody was to blame, but the New York bankers who guaranâ€" teed the new loan and helped the roads through a serious financial difâ€" ficulty, rendered a patriotic service not only to those railroad companies, but to the people of the Northwest. McAdoo would treat them as pickâ€" pockets. £ pany, in cash deducted from its mail pay, ‘and in its payment of seven per cent of its gross earnings to the State of Illinois, and in its free carâ€" riage of government troops and supâ€" plies, has repaid more than forty milâ€" lion dollars already, and will conâ€" tinue to repay millions every year for all time to come. That Company would have been better off if they had never accepted this "gift" of lands. That grant was made in 1850, and was closed out years ago. How does a land grant made in 1850 throw any light upon the‘ wisdom of turning the Illinois Central Railroad, in 1924, over to a political management? W W. W.
