VIEWS OF EASTMAN
I ON P. &N. DECISION
INTEHE8TINQ CONCURRIING OPINION
GIVEN BY MEMBER OP
COMMI88ION.
a >
Washington, D. C.?(Concurring In
Oie doclHlon of the Interstate Cominerce
Commission,denying the petition
of the Piedmont end Northern Hallway
Company for uulhorlty to extend
Iih lines, which was announced April
Hih, Commissioner Eastman filed the j
following interesting supplements'
I opinion:
"The report in this proceeding to my
mind contain* an excellent analysis of
the facta and exposition of the law,
end I find no dltflculty in agreeing
with the conclusions reached. It
seems desirable, however, by way of
emphasis to summarise briefly certain
essential reasons for denying this certificate,
as I see t,hera.
"In determining whether the construction
of new railroad* lines should
be authorised, doubts should, I believe,
be resolved in favor of their construction,
particularly where new territory
not already supplied with railroad service
is being opened up. That this
has been our policy in granting certificates
of exigency the record of past
cases amply demonstrates. But desire
to avoid any undue restriction of
enterprise ought not to lead us to approve
new construction which involves
needless, costly, and wasteful
duplication of existing facilities. That
la what the law was Intended to prevent.
"Experience and* observation hare
shown that a proposed new ljne of
railroad is always desired by the people
in the territory affected. If the
expression of such desire Is in itself
a sufficient reason for the granting of
a certificate, then the law might an
well permit unlimited construction.
Plainly there must be other evidence
that public convenience and necessity
require a new line.
"Here it is not proposed to open
op any new territory, but to build &
third line of track parallel to and practically
within sight of an existing
double-track railroad which is admittedly
providing good service and is
not used to anything like Its Inherent
capacity. The attempted justification
for such duplication -of facilities rests
largely upon a claim of superior 'flexibility'
In electric operation of the
kind proposed. If that be a reason
here for adding a third track alongside
of an existing double-track line with
large reserve capacity, it must also be
a reason for third-tracking in a simile*
way many other double-track lines,
which operate through manufacturing
districts.
"Carried to a logical conclusion such
a policy would result in a heavy Increase
In the transportation burden
updh the people of this country. But
this claim of need for more 'flexible
operation Is not Impressive, for reasons
sufficiently Indicated In the main
report. Under present conditions, a
third track through this Carolina district,
opening dp no new territory and
reaching no new markets, would be
sheer economic waste. We would lie
derelict in our duty if we permitted
such waste. One mistake pf this.kind
has reoeritly, in my judgment, been
made In Florida and It ought not to
be repeated here.
"If there were need for strengthening
this conclusion, such need would be
supplied by the f^ct that this proposed
new railroad ia closely affiliated with
powerful private Industrial interest*
In the Oarollnas. The evil* of Interrelation
between transportation lines
and industries whlcjj they serve are
! manifest. Such arrangements breed
privilege _ and preference, find . run
counter <to .the spirit and I believe also,
| in many cages, the letter of the law.
"TheYe are enough at present without
adding to the sum total, and I trust
that we ohall soon be able to test the
Jegallty of existing Interrelations of'
this character."

Detire to Own Land
Old ae Human Race
The Instinct to acquire and own
land Is as deep rooted in human beings
as almost anything about them.
History offers Innumerable texts for
sermons on the wisdom of land ownership
and proves the foresight of the
founders of our nation In acquiring
Son't t6rrltorlea for unlimited expanLand
ownership, mistaken for national
pride, has caused the majority
or the world's great conflicts. William
the Conqueror, in establishing the
feudal system, founded the law of
Prtooge.mun, no that great e.tatea
Ella be ?"??"<* '"act, and the
holdera oMIgated to the crown In
terms of men and money.
Th? effect It had was to send forth
f?Unger 80,18 *u search of
lauds of their own. Even feudalism
could not successfully combat the Instinct
to acquire and own land.

Ravage a of Epidemica
"Four and Ave centuries ago, the
Pladk plague ravaged mankind with a
severity and a ferociousness unparalleled
today. During one great epidemic
one-fourth of the world's populace
was depleted to the short space of
two years.
; Like a great festering, mlasmlc
wave, periodically the foul tentacles
, of plague have swept over the world.
Centuries ago It was leprosy, then
syphilis, then the Bnbonlc or Black
plague, then smallpox and later the
treat respiratory plagues of Influenza,
pneumonia and sometimes infantile
