VOLUNTARY RAILROAD REFORM.
Move to Sidetrack Private Car Line
Companies.


brooklyn Eagle
The disposition of the great railroad lines
to drop the private car line companies is
among the hopeful signs of reform in rail-
road management as the result OF the
crusade against special rates. The private
car line is to the railroad company what the
investing syndicates are to the insurance
companies. 1t is device by which the men
interested in the railroad management can
reap a profit from the business which the
company could not get from its legitimate
charges. The private car line company puts
on refrigerating ears TO carry fruits and
meats. Its charges for this service are not
controlled by the railroads public tariffs
and they have not so far fallen under the
regulative hand of the Interstate Com
merce commission. That commission is
now conducting campaign to establish
its control over the charges of these COM
panies and to have them legally classified
as common carriers. The commission will
ask for legislation and the president will
naturally support its demand.
The private car line companies have
filed answers to the complaint Of the COM
mission and so have the companies over
whose roads those car lines are operated
The correspondent reports that the an
swers of the railroad companies show
that the roads have decided to wash their
hands OF the private car lines and to ac-
cept no responsibility for them whatever"
That prediction is in line with arguments
directed to railroad managers by their
friends, urging them to abolish private
snaps" in railroading and to raise the
standard of railroad ethics. These warn
ings have pointed out that government
regulation would sweep away these sucker
growths II the companies did not lop them
| of voluntarily and that their abandonment
was the surest way to avert such popular
uprising as would inevitably do great harm
| to the railroads, without any corresponding
benefit to the people. 1t looks as II the rail-
road managers were preparing to take that
| good advice. In that case moderate legis-
lation to do away with rebates and special
rates will be easy. The private car lines
are the chief agency through which rates
are established. Several of the western
roads have already assured the Interstate
| Commerce Commission that they will put
| on their own refrigerator cars and will put
| into effect a rate for their service which
the commission has decided to be reason
able. With such voluntary reforms on the
| part OF the roads the issue OF regulation
would dwindle TO insignihcance. The coun-
try will watch eagerly to see how far this
western good example is followed.

GROWTH OF LIFE INSURANCE.
Overnowins Money vaults RespOnsi-
BILE for Scandals.
CvhtraUo Newa


In 1860, according to an estimate pub
lished by an official OF the New York Life
Insurance company some time ago, all
the American life insurance companies to-
gether had on an average about s. at risk
for each persons In the United States. In
1901 the amount at risk per capita had
grown to about Ss5, increasing seventeen
fold in the forty-one years. II further evil
dence were required to show how rapidly
this business has been growing It would
be found In the enormous increase of cash
assets among the leading companies, which
have grown out Of all proportion to the
increase Of insurance at risk.
'If no new insurance were written" said
the authority above quoted III palsy
should suddenly sieze the tremendous ac-
tivities Of these companies, the contracts
that are now outstanding and well es-
tabllshed in the very nature of the case
would bring in such sums OF money that
the companies would be compelled to be-
come an active factor In the investment
world"
In the face OF such evidence as the inves-
tgation in progress in New York is bring
ing to light It is plain that whatever plan
may be adopted for the regulation Of the
life-insurance business it must provide for
which these prodigious sums are invested.
In general the insurance concerns may be
assumed to have made their policy conform
to fairly safe and conservative principles
Of investment. An analysis of state insur-
ance reports made some time ago indicated
that Of the 81, 77S 916, 600 Of assets then held
by twenty-eight of the leading life com
panies, more than Al per cent was in bonds,
the other securities, in the order Of the
amounts carried, being mortgages, real es-
tate, loans on policies and stocks. OF
I stocks, the least certain form Of security,
some companies carried none.
1t is equally plain that while the bulk
Of the Insurance funds Is thus safely Sc
cured, the officials with the excess OF funds
at their disposal are prone to indulge in
transactions that bear more the character
OF speculation than OF investment. To
| Judge from the way some of the New York
companies officials have juggled with the
money of policyholders, taking a private
profit therefrom and concealing the trans
action from state officials by tricks. they
| seem to have cast aside conscience en-
| tirely as a business asset. With such con-
ditlons today and the insurance business
| still growing, what are conditions likely
TO be a few years hence, unless some re-
straint is placed upon the methods en-
| ployed in mana ging these great accumula-
| lions OF wealth.

TREND TOWARD POPULAR GOVERN

TREND TOWARD POPULAR GOVERN
MENT.
Almost simultaneous events in all
quarters of the globe indicate a wide
spread trend toward popular govern.
ment and an awakening in many coun-
tries in which up to this time the peo-
pie have been content to rest without
any appreciable participation in matters
Of government.
The demand of the Hungarians, sup
ported by a vigorous demonstration
against the Diet for a more universal
suffrage is an outcropping Of this spirit.
II the war Russia made against Japan
has any credit marks in its favor, they
are to be found in the substantial gains
made by the Russians at home in the
direction Of more popular government
The friction developed between Norway
and Sweden, SO far as it can be viewed,
as a claim on the part Of Norway of in
dependent sovereignty responsible di-
rectly to the Norwegian people, is also
in line with the spread of the popular
government idea. In all the old world
countries autocracy has been steadily
losing ground and democracy gaining,
and although the outward forms of
monarchical government continue I'M
changed great changes are taking place
in the location of the seat of power.
In this movement the United States
is not negligible factor. The influence
of American free institutions on old
world bulwarks of medievalism has been
great and constant, and 1t is being ex-
erted day by day with increasing force.
The United States has within the past
few years come for the first time within
the horizon Of many people of foreign
countries and they are beginning to
realize and appreciate the strides we
have been making and the advantages
we have been enjoying by reason of ouI
popular government. 1t is only natu
rally to be expected, therefore, that this
movement will spread still further and
that the United States will continue tC
play an important part in it even though
1t may not at any time be called upon t.
assume an active role.
