James !. Hill-We have as nation
gone further in mastering the problems OF
land transportation than any other coun7
try in the world We have some advan-
tages over Europe ii matters of railway
transportation On account of the enor-
nous size II our country and the length
of our extreme hauls. but even with that
"A comparison of the rates paid by the
public in the United States with those
paid by the people in Europe is very In
structiye. The average rates paid in
Great Britain is more than 2i4 cents a
ton mile. The average on the continent
outside of Russia is from 10 81 cents
per ton mile Russia is about Is cents.
In the United States about mills is the
average rate. or less than onethird Of the
average rate charged throughout Europe,
whether the roads are operated by pri-
vate corporations or by the respective
governments. In Germany the rate Is
about cents per ton mile. The rates
east Of Chicago are, l may say, y ~ent
mile. Vast of Chicago they are from
81 of cent to mills

ability. manual labor are the legs Of a
three-egged stool While the three legs
stand sound and firm the stool stands,
but let any one pf the three weaken and
break, let II be pulled out or struck out
down goes the stool To- the ground. Aud
the stool is Of no, use until the third leg
is restored. Now the eapstaiist is wrong
who thinks that capital is more important
than either of the other two legs. Their
support IS essentiaistd bfms Without them
or with only one Of them he topples over.
Business ability IL wrong when il thinks
that the leg whicY It represents is the
most important without fhe legs OF
capital and labor. II is useless. And last,
let 1t not be forgotten That labor also Is
wrong, wildly wrong, when it assumes
that it is Of more Importance than either
Of the two other legs. That idea has
been in the past the source of many sad
mistakes.
