The law of 1866 which gave to the telegraph companies the free right to follow the national, or post, roads of the United States, to use stone, timber, and other needed construction mate- rial, without payment, from government lands in other words, the free right of way granted by the American Government to the telegraph, is in distinct contrast to the absolute control taken of it in European countries. To the telephone, also, free scope was given by the national Government, though it had not t...he same right of way, especially in the cities ; yet as a rule telephone wires have been strung upon telegraph poles throughout the country, and the companies were unrestricted in their develop- ment. As a result of this freedom in developing methods and facili- ties, American inventiveness found a fascinating field of experi- mentation and practical utility in both telephone and telegraph, by which the whole nation has profited. And other nations have profited by the results of this ingenuity, since there was less opportunity for it in their own lands.
