Excerpt from An Open Letter to the United States on Relations With Canada: With Some Remarks on the Fourth and Fifth Sections of the Interstate Commerce Law

It is because of this arousal of public sentiment as observable in California, and because my mail is crowded with requests for information and data, that I am impelled to address your Honorable Committee in this form that I may thereby be enabled to cover broader ground. I beg to assure you, gentlemen, that I do not undertake this task frivolously or for the sake of work. I assume it rather as a duty to the vast transportation interests of our country; and not less a duty to those hundreds of thousands who, not directly connected with transportation problems, have their savings - the thrifty accumulation of provident years - invested in railway securities to those other thousands, the innocent ones whose all is tied up in those securities set aside for them in loving forethought to the millions who through their employment in the various fieldsof labor or their mercantile connections, are affected by whatever either depresses or stimulates railway properties; while I deem it a subject fraught with deep importance to this country and its people, and will endeavor to consider it with freedom from personal bias, self-interest or any motive except the ultimate weal of the great nation of which I am proud to be a Citizen.
