Its suggestive , title is "Industrial Democracy or Monop* ’l' A I’lan for the Public Ownership of ‘nr Railroads.e By "Public" is not meant government ownership. The author is somebody in the corporate field, to wit. William‘W. Coak. of “Cook on Corpora tions” fame, 'rhe subject treated is time- I?. for just a few years ago appeared the announcement that the railway president and labor representative selected to ap point other five members of a commission To arbitrate the engineers’ dispute can not agree, so that government officials will have to choose the other arbitrators. The future control and management of American railroads is unquestionably one of the gravest problems confronting the nation Are we drifting toward govern ment ow nership? Or can that be avert ed.’ If so. how '.’ Mr. Cook, unlike most critics of current renditions, proffers a solution. Before commenting thereon let us explain his proposal. Which shall control the railroads Shall men allow their employers (the corporations> to be controlled by capital in a few hands, or shall men be free and , ?pital be subject io their control, direct ly. ot' indirectly? Mr Cook asks. The downfall of the Roman republic occurred when the privileged classes absorbed the nation’s wealth. How will it be in our own republic? The issue is “Socialism or Not?" Mr. < ook contends. Here is Mi Cooks plan, 'which will combine the advantages of capitalistic or ganization and monopoly with the advan tages of a widely diffused control. "I propose that the control of the (rail road) stocks of our Country be taken from these security-holding institutions of Wall Street and placed .in the control of a se curity ’holding’ corporation administered for the investing public of the I nited States. ' ■ For doing this I propose the following method: Congress .should, incorporate a railroad ’holding company.’ with a capital stock of twenty-five billion dollars. It has clearly the constitutional right to do this In the charter, congress could name the first directors men of the highest character and reputation, chosen from different parts of the country. They could he self-perpetuating.

Half ~f the five billion -par value of mlr rail road stocks ■would give an absolute con ‘ ttolVng majority of rfie railroad stocks in this country.'' Ten main roads practically control our railroad transportation and an actual majorit- of their stock would cost less than a billion and a half of dollars. The holding company's stock "would be equal to a I'nited States bond, or English consol or French rente, would be used' as a basis for currency. could be used in shares as an investment for.the poor and others, and "would be equivalent Io a national savings bank for millions of peo- P |p " .
