TEA NSPCm TATION.
Transportation being a means of
exchange and a public necessity, the
government should own and operate
the railroads in the interest of the peo-
pie. i
The telegraph and telephone, like
the poetofflee system, being a necessi-
ty for the transmission of news should
be owned and o|>erated by the gov.
