! NECESSITY OF OPENING UP
BERING RIVER COAL FIELDS
(Continued From Yesterday.)
A railroad is also prohibited by law from carrying any
coal mined or produced by it or in which it has any interest. A
railroad therefore can neither own nor lease nor have any in
terest in a coal mine.
Conversely, a coal company can not own a railroad. A
franchise or right of way for a railroad can only be obtained
by a railroad company.
The onl\ chance, then, for private construction is that one
1 company take a lease of coal land and another build the rail
road. But if the two companies should i nter into an agreement
i that one should open a mine and the other build a railroad to
haul the coal, it would then be an unlawful combination or
1 conspiracy. Section 8 of the co^d leasing law expressly torbids
; this.
> If the (topper River & Northwestern Railway should ven
! ture again to build to the field they could again be charged
l with conspiracy to monopolize the coal. The coal lease to
| which they proposed to build would also be subject to can
cellation.
No doubt the government could amend the law so as to
induce private companies to build a railroad to the Bering coal.
They can not do so under existing laws.
Government Railroad Necessary Under Leasing System.
it was clearly recognized by those who advocated the leas
ing system that government railroads were essential to the
plan. lion. Walter Fisher, former secretary of the interior, in
an annual report, says:
“The adoption of a leasing policy will take away from the
promoters of such a road the lure of great gain from the exploi
tation of the coal fields. This exploitation clearly should be
prevented in the public interest. But at the same time, the
government should recognize that it it withdraws from private
capital this incentive for railroad construction, the government
itself must assume the obligation of making possible that kind i
of development upon which it insists for the general good. It
! has been urged that the government should meet this objection
I by guaranteeing the payment of bonds or the interest on bonds
! equal to the cost of the construction of the road'. I can see no
advantage whatever in this policy. If the government is to
guarantee the cost of construction, I see no reason why the gov
ernment should not only the railroad outright w hether it oper
ates it or leases to an operating company.”
