Show THE RAILWAY PROBLEM, istickn.y Mugi;iata a i'lan to FraT.nt Viola tiiiu. of tit. I.Mvr. St. Pai l, May 1. Chairman St'ck-ney St'ck-ney of Ihe Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas Kan-sas Ciiy iu his Look "Tim Railway Problem" in which tho prevailing situation situa-tion is exhaustively discussed iu one at his suggestions says: ' C earlv if the government would inforee its laws airaiusr, the railway companies, its chief executive officer who has charge of this department, whenever he becomes salislie I that any niariftsremerit is persistently disobeying tho laws should have the power to take possession of the property and manage it through tho intervention of a receiver re-ceiver or otherwise until ho can have satisfactory assurance that they will hertaf'er obey the laws." An enactment of a law givine this power would probably bo eftVotive to prevent discriminations and other violations vio-lations of tho law without being actually actu-ally set in motion. Such a law, if enforced, en-forced, would reach the real culprit, where fines and penalties reach only their repn s 'titatives and employes. |
