Excerpt from Laying the Rails for Future Business: Address; With a Synopsis of the Law for the Federal Control of Railroads

It seems too obvious to require repetition, yet apparently the fact is still little understood that the efficiency and adequacy of the arteries largely determine the health of the body.

For a period of thirty years, with an increasing intensity of action, this country has pursued the policy of constriction and starvation towards its arteries of commerce, through which the life blood of the body economic must flow. Sclerosis and paralysis inevitably followed. In striking proof of the folly of this treatment, when the necessities of war force the Government to take over the care of this ailing patient all the nostrums, quack remedies and prescriptions of the years are thrown out of the windows and a complete change of treatment is prescribed.

This new treatment has general approval for the conditions of today, but what of tomorrow? That is the question which the business men of the United States must face and answer if this country is to achieve its oft-described "manifest destiny."
