Governments and Railroads.

The government control Of railroads
has long been pet hobby of the
Socialists. Populists and other vision
aries, This matter isn't a serious is
sue now and is not likely to be in the
near future. but in view Of the inter-
mittent discussion of it recent
article in the Iron Age by its editor
who is just home from Europe. is Of
much interest. He presents some
strong arguments against government
ownership of railroads, using the ex-
pertinent in Prussia as a horrible eX-
ample. The chief disadvantage Of gov
eminent ownership in Prussia, he finds,
is the slowness with which the govern
ment answers popular demands. 1t is
sometimes necessary, for instance, that
a manufacturer who wants side track
laid to his shops shall wait years be-
fore his application is granted, and in
many cases such requests are ignored
altogether
When the Prussian railroads We're
nationalized II was promised that the
government would improve the service
and reduce rates, but neither Of these
promises has been fulfilled. Indeed, it
is said that large sums Of money
earned by the railroads have been used
fD,
priatiOns demanded 10 meet require
ments in other branches Of the govern
ment may be made to seem smallerthan
they really are. Instead Of putting the
railroads upon Il selfsupporting basis
they are used by the government to
provide funds for building war ships
and supporting armies. The equip
ment is permitted to degenerate, the
service is poor and the rates are kept
up, the officials always desiring to
make the railroad profits as large as
possible.
II is We'll known that the greatest
and fastest trains in the world are not
in Germany but in the United States.
France and England follow. ana in all
three Of these countries the railroads
are operated by private corporations.
But the most serious argument against
the operation of railroads by Il gov
eminent is made by German manufac-
turers, who. according to the iron Age,
declare that their railroad officials are
slow in adopting technical improve
ments and in substituting modern for
dntiquated appliances, because they
are otticehoIders rather than business
men 1t would hardly be reasonable
either in Germany or elsewhere, to eX-
poet that q railroad could be managed
by a lot of politicians unskilled in the
business AZ Wen or as pr1fitahIy for the
public in general as by men trained
from the bottom up.
Perhaps in time it can be made clear
that government ownership and opera
ton Of railways will be good thing
for the United States, but it isapparent
that we Will not be able to 60 to Ger-
many for a working model

j. Roderick Robertson of Nelson, presi-
dent of the South Kootenai Board of
Trade and managing director of the Brit

not be surprised if work was stopped in
number OF the mines in a few days if
the present difficulties were not settled in
negotiations now under way.
Inc dlfflculty arises over question of
wages, and has been brewing for several
months. In about three-quarters of the
mines the muckers, who are the prfncipal
workers underground. are paid $3.50 or
sz.oo a day. In small minority of the
mines they get SO a day. 1t is to make
the 50 rule uniform in all the mines that
the strike is being organized.
