TRIBUTE TO OUR RAILWAYS.
English Opinion Based on an Inspec.
ton Last Summer.

LONDON, April 22.-Orville Priestly
under secretary to the government of India,
railways department, who was sent to the
United States last summer to study and
report on American railways, has submit
ted his report. 1t is an exhaustive review
Of the subject, and In conclusion pays
high tribute to American railway enterprise
and management.
1.-THE railways of America" says Mr..
Priestly, ARE commercial undertakings on
a gigantic scale, and are operated under
conditions which are to be found nowhere
else in the world. since they receive no pro-
lection from the state. and have had to
fight their way to the front by sheer ability
of management. If / have appeared en-
thusiastic at times, 1t Is because 1 was
greatly impressed by the courage with
which the railroad officers have faced their
difficulties and the pluck with which they
have overcome them.
Many of their methods are different
from those one has been brought UP to be-
lieve the only correct method. and 1t is not
until one realizes that the one idea in the
mind of American railway men IL to get
there, and that they do get there by the
shortest and quickest way.
''They carry their goods traffic proftably
at extraordinarily low rates, notwithstand-
Ing the fact that they pay more for their
labor than any other country"

Ccv to

reoede from its position and agree to the
Ser ate bill.
Representative Hepburn of Iowa asked
TO" fuller explanation of the matter. Mr..
Be bcock again went over the ground, stat
ing what he termed the proposition as it
was before the House. He said the con-
ferees did not feel they should take the re-
spe visibility of agreeing to the Senate ideas.
Representative Payne of New York, the
republican floor leader, then took hand
in the discussion He said he had always
noticed that whenever the government de-
sres to buy a piece of property the value
Of the land Immediately goes up. especially
where condemnation proceedings are to be
instituted.
better to buy the land at the exorbitant
prices asked by the owner rather than re-
sort to condemnation proceedings. because
the juries In such cases usually send the
amount much higher. Mr.. Payne spoke of
the square recently purchased for the pur-
pose of erecting an Office building for the
House of Representatives thereon. The
property, he said, was assessed at about
$40 GOO, but when the condemnation pro-
ceedings were over 1t was found tho gov
ernment had paid three times this amount.
It occurred to him that II the government
should take hand in the expense OF street
opening the land would be more highly
valued than ever before. Mr.. Payne asked
Mr. Babcock If he really believed that the
House should recede from its position in the
matter.
L.
gentleman from New York exactly under
stood the situation. The motion to recede
in no way affected the amount OF the as
sessment on the property owners
This assessment under existing practice is
generally one-half the cost. and that would
continue to be the share the abutting prop
erty owners would be called upon to pay.
1t was merely a question as to whether OF
not the United States should share with
the District its half of the cost OF street
openings
government pay any part OF the expense:
Mr.. Babcock said he would not argue that
question. He was merely trying to explain
what the proposition was. Mr. Payne sara
he hoped the policy of the House in the
past would be maintained.
Representative Hemenway again spoke IN
opposition to the motion. claiming that the
government ought not to have any snare
in the expense of street opening.
Mr.. Cowherd said that as he understood
the matter Mr. Babcock had not made
any recommendation but had simply sub
mitted his motion to get the sense OF the
House.
The Vote.
Mr. Babcock said that was exactly the
situation The Speaker then put the mat
ter to a vote and several members re-
sponded aye including Mr.. Babcock. When
the noes were called for the response was to
loud Mr. Babcock said he would not ask
division.
"If the gentleman desires to bring out
the strength of the opposition" suggested
Representa- tive Hemenway, let him ask Tor
a division"
Not today" replied Mr.. Babcock
Mr. Babcock then made a motion that
the House further insist upon its amend
ment to the Senate bill.
