Railroads and the danger of one man control in 1911
The author argues against a single powerful man or monopoly over railroads, warning such concentration would harm republican health and commercial freedom. He questions if laws should permit ruthless combinations to concentrate control, even under an interstate commission, and calls for competition to lower production costs for the public. The piece cites a December 5 1911 White House note by Wi L Tat.
