It is a story of business and political corruption that has gone on invarying degrees in scores of our cities and in scores of greatindustries where strong men have been fighting to get control of mines, forests, lands, and oil, the development of which depended on favorabletransportation. The carrying trade--whether of goods or people--is neverto be omitted in this story. Until very recent years, this mother ofmonopolies, the railroad, was thought of as a purely private possession. A dozen yea...rs ago one of our ablest railroad lawyers (often before theUnited States Supreme Court with great cases) told me it had long beenone of his intellectual amusements to try to force into the heads ofrailroad presidents the fact that their ownership of that kind ofproperty was profoundly different from the ownership of a horse or agrocery store.
