OUR NORTHERN COMPETITOR


The senate committee that is inves-
tigating our Canadian relations has OBJ
tanned some interesting information on
the Pacific coast. 1t has ascertained
that the great subsidized railroad line
of Canada, which extends to the Pacific,
is in reality very vigorous competitor
of the American roads, and that this
competition is not likely to bee ONE less
sharp and serious in the future. One
fact stated to the committee will serve
to illustrate the advantage enjoyed by
the Canadian competitor. 1t was
stated that the Pacific coast steamship
company carries Australian wool from
San Francisco north and turns it over
to the Canadian Pacific railroad for
transportation, sometimes to Canadian
ports, but more often to Boston. 1t is a
circuitous route, but this disadvantage
is more than balanced by the gain to
shippers in the rates of transportation.
The Canadian road being at liberty to
regulate its rates with view to getting
transportation Of freight between
through ports, can offer inducem ents
which the American roads, under the
restrictions imposed, can not meet, be-
cause even il the Canadian competitor
carries freight at loss from
San Francisco to Boston, it can
make up for the loss by higher rates
between local points, means OF
recouping not permitted to the Amer
lean roads. In the transportation OF
tea, the Canadian Pacific enjoys al
most the entire traffic. And it is not
allowing any advantage to slip away
from it, AS was said some time ago by
it's president, 1t Is worked on sound
business principles as a strictly COM
mercial enterprise, having no private
interests to be fed at the expense OF its
shareholders and interest to pay only
on capital actually invested. Having
the Dominion government behind it
and complete freedom in its operations,
the Canadian Pacific railroad is In a
position to carry on competition
against American roads, limited only
by its transportation facilities. How
this shall be remedied is question
whioh even such able senators as Mr..

Small Men In Large Places.

kUTIsuS JIIN IITlb8,
Any man who has taken the trouble to OBJ.
serve the course of railroads in crises OF
management, even when small, has certainly
been struck with the apparent helplessness
OF these supposed superior abilities. To say
that men do not understand their own busi
ness is perhaps an ungrac!ous assertion, yet
IL is a dictum OF recent record that hardly
any set of men have so utterly failed to grasp
the larger and more important principles of
their business and have advanced into DIM
culties with so little foresight as railroad
managers. Expressed briefly, they have
controlled a vast department of commerce
with the policy of a horse jockey.
