transportation to Chicago of the Press
Association of Louisiana, which meets
in this city on the second of August !:
"In reply to letter of inquiry on
the subject of the proposed excursion
OF the Louisiana Press Association TO
Chicago, Ill.,, at the close of the Mon.
roe meeting, to be held August I'd,
1886, Mr.. ]. w. Coleman, assistant

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAIL
ROADS A FAILURE.

The Louisiana Legislators might
with propriety read and ponder over
the following:
S"A second plan for making competi.
tion public benefit has been that OF
state ownership Of part of the COM
peting lines. 1t has been tried on a
large scale in Belgium and Prussia,
and on a smaller scale in mCst other
countries, the United States not OK.
cepted. 1t was thought by the advo-
Gates OF the system that the govern
ment would thus obtain a controlling
influence over the railroads with which
1t contracts, and be able to regulate
their policy by its example. These
hopes have been disappointed. The
private railroads under such circum.
stances regulate those of the govern.
msnt far more than the government |
regulates the private railroads. There |
Is no chance to carry out any scheme |
u far-slghfed policy. If the private |
roads are run to make money, the
yovernment roads must be managed
With the same end in view. The tax.
ayers will not let the government
ines show deficit while competing
rivate lines pay divide ads. No ad.
ainistration would dare to allow such
thing, however important the end to
Q attained. AS matter of fact the
overnment roads of Belgium and
were as ready TO give rebates '
the private lines with which they a

icy went so far rs to grant special
ties to those persons who would agree
1t to ship by canal under any circum-
ances. The same thing has been
me in New York State, but in Bel.
nm the peculiar thing was that the
nails and railroads both belong to
Q government, and yet were fighting 6
@ another In this way. This system
partial state ownership was hardIyl
in its effects from sim-
private ownership. This fact has
sn clearly recognized within the last a
elve years. Within this period
lgium, Prussia, and Italy have

I'M and Prussia have made State
