PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
SPEAKS CONTINENTAL
CONGRESS, PHILA.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 27—President Coolidge speaking .-it The,
exercises commemorating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the meeting of the first Continental Congress, said: "If we wish to
maintain what our fathers established . we shall do well to leave teh
people in ownership of their property and control of their Govern
ment under the protection of their courts." Referring to Govern
ment ownership of railroads, he said: "It is difficult to reconcile the
American ideal of a sovereign people capable of owning and manag- |
lng their own government with an inability to own and manage their 1
own business. Furthermore, government ownership of the railroads :
would mean a loss of public revenues estimated at six hundred million
from three to forty per cent. No doube there are certain municipal
ities where some public utilities are managed through public owner
ship. but that is very different from the proposal of the National Gov
ernment to take over the railroads and other public utilities. The
Government of the Cnited States is a device to maintain in perpetuity
the rights of the people with the ultimate extension of those richt
to all. with no privileged classes."
