Excerpt from Two-Cent Railroad Fare: And Other Railroad Legislation in Ohio Even a State can become so absorbed in the business of a com mon carrier, and interested in the profits, and desirous of keeping the property in repair, that it does not welcome the irritating competition of private capital and individual energy. Such competition is not regarded so healthful when the State loses as when the loss falls on individuals comprising private corpora tions. It is the New York Central and Hudson River. Railroad, the only four-track railway on the continent - the only railway which has its eastern terminus in the metropolis of the western hemi sphere - which runs through the most populous cities, towns and neighborhoods of the Empire State; which receives from the West the immense streams of travel from four great trunk lines of railway; in short, with superior advantages of connections and unexcelled local conditions of profitable passenger traffic, this is the railway that is offered in comparison with each of the rail ways of Ohio, and the precedent of two-cent fare for way passen gers on apart of that road is urged as a reason why two cents is enough for any passengers on any'of the roads here.
