Augustus Jacobson argues in Vanguard that American railways waste public funds through bloated salaries and lavish offices. He cites Erie president Jewett at 50000 yearly, extensive New York offices, brokers and scalpers, and costly advertising. Parallel lines and Wall Street control threaten fair rates, with riots and strikes shown as inevitable outcomes.
