Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Who Shall Rule? The People or the Big Interests: Democracy and a Free People or Autocracy and Organized Privilege; On Which Are You? The Soldier, the Worker, the Consumer, the Taxpayer or the Profiteer, the Trusts, the Food Manipulators, the Pork Barons
One feature of the act of last session is that the Government becomes the owner of the stock of the Company, of the nominal value of sixty million dollars. There never was a dollar paid in that stock. The experts employed by the Government to appraise the value of the whole enterprise, men of acknowledged ability and experience, themselves have reported that the stock of the Company has no value whatever.
Yet the Government have taken authority to appoint a board of arbitrators to give a value to that property, which their experts have declared absolutely without value.
The Opposition asked that the report of the arbitrators, whatever it might be, should be laid before Parliament for approval. Though this motion was rejected, it is the right of the people to declare that the case should not have been finally closed by the action of a moribund Parliament, but that the whole matter should be reported to, and ad indicated upon by the new Parliament.
