New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-10-03

Private Management is Cheapest and Best.
On the average, the running expenses
of State roads amounted to 81 per cent
and of private to Sc per cent of their
gross income. On the basis of these
facts, the French railroad commission
declared in 1878 that the comparative
study Of these two systems Of manage.
ment and the tables exhibiting it's re.
suits, proved that everywhere, in Italy,
Germany, Austria and Belgium, state
arrangements had been more costly
than private.
The 1900 miles of railroad operated
by the Canadian government resulted
in loss of $500, 900 in 1892.
In only three years out of the last ~
have the government railways of the
colony of Victoria yielded any profit.
The report by the Interstate commerce
commission just published gives the per-
centage of interest paid on capital in.
vested in the roads of all the principal
countries of the world. This interest
rate is I'll per cent in the United King
dom, 3.8 in France, 5. l in Germany, a.
in Italy, 80 in Holland, al in Switzer.
land, 3.5 in the United States, 3.3 in
Australia.
Our Railroad Service Is the Cheapest and
Best.
But the fact is, and it is the most sig.
nificant fact so far brought to light in this
discussion, that our service is not onlv
the best but by far the cheapes st in the
world. This does not stand to reason,
if we look at the matter merely as a
theory. It is well known that the
prices of everything, labor included,
are far higher in the United States
than anywhere in Europe. Our rail-
roads have cost great deal to build.
Yet in spite of the greater amount
which has been paid for material and
is constantly being paid out for labor
here, the United States has il Immensely
the cheapest service in the world.
The first class passenger rates in
Great Britain, which correspo md to our
rates in this country, are 4. 40 cents per
mile, in France 1856 cents, in Germany
8. 10, in the United States but 2.12, Our
average rate is almost as low as the
rate for third class accommodations in
France and in the United Kingdom.
The same is true of freight rates, as
shown by an official compilation from
statistics given by Mulhall a bid by our
interstate commission. ~..
Our Freight Rates Are the Lowest.
A table giving the avera ge freight
charge per ton per mile in all the coun-
tries of the world puts the United
States the lowest on the list Its aver
age freight rate is given at 1 cent per
ton per mile, which is reall y consider
ably more than the present charge and
higher than the rate hal been since
1888. The revenue per ton per mile in
1898 was less than .88 of / cent. But
even taking one cent as basis of COM
parison, this is about e-third of the
average rate in the United Kingdom.
less than one half that of France and

that the railways Of Prussia were al
ready under state control before the
nsolidation Of the Empire. About 90
per cent Of the whole mileage is now
owned by the state.
The experience Of Italy is particularly
instructive. Italy tried all the possible
different methods Of running roads,
private control, public control, mixed
control and the leasing system. All
these proving unsatisfactory, a public
investigation Of the subject was ordered
which is certainly the most exhaustive
that has been made up to date. At the
conclusion of this; the following fixed
system was finally adopted.
An act was passed by which all OF
almost all of the italian railways were
consolidated in the hands of two com.
panies, which leased their lines from
the state for = long term Of years, and
were left to work them for their own
private interests. This system, which
is practically the same as has been
adopted by many cities. with reference
to their street railway service, has been
practically satisfactory in Italy, as has
also similar system in operation in
Holland.
How Other Nations Have Treated Rail-
roads.
While Great Britain does not own
any of its railroads, the relation between
the roads and public authority is very
different there from what exists in the
United States. Not only rates, but the
building of new roads is carefully super
vised by parliament; and the result has
been SO well accepted by the people
that a provision made SO years ago for
acquiring the roads has been allowed
to die out without notice.
In Russia 40 per cent of the railroad
lines are owned and operated by the
government, and most of the remainder
are in receipt of subsid les.
Financial Results of National Railroad
Management.
We may turn now to the considera.
ton of the financial results of railroad
management in the countries in which
the roads are wholly OR partly under
government control, and compare these
with the results in other countries
where the railroads are entirely in pri-
vate hands. A very thorough investi-
cation of this point was made in
Europe in the year 1876. For that year
the operating expenses amounted to the
following per cent Of gross income in
the countries named:

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

Miss MEANS, who was expelled from
she Southern Presbyterian church for
working IN a telephone exchange on
Sundays, has been restored by the Gen
eral Assembly Of the church.
The verdict is one which will meet
the appreciation Of nine-tenths Of the
members, not only Of that church, but
OF every other one, and yet it brings up
a serious question. II one form Of
Sabbath work is recognized by the
church as proper, where shall the line
OF distinction be- drawn? Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy" says
the commandment. "SiX days shalt
thou labor and do all that thou hast to
do" The Southern Presby terian church
has seen fit to change this. "Six days
shalt thou labor and do all that thou
hast to do. save answering telephone
calls, which may be done on the
seventh" is the revised version adopted
BY the church.
Very naturally might the street car
conductor ask II he is to be sent to per
dition for collecting Sabbath fares,
while the telephone girl, who works as
hard as he, is to be saved, And so with
those in other numerous occupations.
II il Is right for a telephone girl to
earn money by working on the Sab
bath is it not right for others to do the
same in other occupations? Where
will the Southern Presbyterian Church
draw its line or how will it distinguish
between work that may be done upon
the Sabbath day and work that may
not9
Surely the Bible does not discrimi-
nate between the work Of the girl at
central and that OF other persons. 1t
does not say that one may devote the
day 10 the labor Of bringing people
within hearing distance Of their friends
without offense, while those who spend
the day in bringing friends together,
face TO face, have sinned. The Bible is
for the conductor as we'll as for central,
and the right Of the Southern General
Assembly to arbitrarily designate what
work may be performed upon the Sab
both without sin and what may not,
may properly be questioned by the
members Of that church.
That there is sabbath work which is
q necessity will be agreed TO probably
bv everyone without exception. That
a great deal is done which need not be
will also be agreed TO. But there are
few who will admit that any body OF
men, whether they compose General
Assem- Div" or any other organization
has the right TO say that certain kinds
Of work on Sunday are sinful while
other kinds are not. The guilt or inno-
ceuce OF the man who works on Sunday
is question solely between him aud his
God. and the resolutions Of any human
lbeinR cannot affect that question.

Foster and His Horse.

of St. Paul. Foster is a bunch back, but
he knows a good horse when he sees 1t.
The colt was originally owned by eide
on & DAILY, we'll known turfmen, but he
bled at the nose and was sold to Foster
for IS, 900 about year ago. Foster soon
cused the horse OF his malady, and In
very short time the equine aescuIapius
more than paid for himself by winning
the S9.470 Withers stakes. Foster was
confident his promising colt could win
the Brooklyn and backed him so well in
the winter books at odds ranging from
20 to 20 to / that his total winnings, to-
gether with the SIS, 900 won in the race,
were about SSO,000. Foster is good
son and. IL is said, gave his old mother
all OF the $4,000 stake. He has only
been on the turf about five years, and
his success has been remarkable. He
is a Canadian by birth, about twenty
seven years of age and unmarried. he
left Canada about nine years ago aud
located at ST. Paul. He made his first
money in the Royal ale caves In st.
