Without Motion there is not, there cannot be, any life. On the Power to Move

the whole social and commercial fabric rests. Suspend motion, and the universe itself would fall to pieces.

Therefore, my theory is that the transit question underlies every other social question, and that if the transit system of a country is radically wrong, none of its other social conditions can be quite right.

If we would prosper, we must keep the channels of motion—the means of transit—as free as possible.

At present our railways are blocked by an invisible toll-bar at every mile! Can this be to the public advantage?
