In the March number OF -worlds "orS,
We are told how President Disz prevent

By a clever business stroke, President

veuted railroad monopoly and
inaugursted q movement 10. pub
lie ownership. MeIioo's two large
est systems are the National aud the
Mexican Central. Both link the capital
TO the American border on the north.
Low rates for long hsuls between CON
petinR po:nts used to prevail. But the
short hAuls had to pay for the long
hnuls. One day the National acquired
the Int~e-oceAnioo, and thus secured 4

Central, having a gulf outlet, the Two
lines at a bound faced each other as
full competitors frou COST to frouhe-.
Mexican silver was d~spreciatng IN
value, but railroad dividends had to be
plid in gold. Operation WIS costly.
II Was reasonable to assume hat the two
systeus would not be long in reaching
an agreement. Then they would raise
their tariffs to the maximum allowed
them. A merger seemed inevitable,
Necessities like corr and fuel ane
machinery would have to pay very high
freight rates. The American trust was
wi hin sight. Both roads planned to
ask me government to be allowed TO hI
z tariff that should frctus;e with the
rise or ial Of silver. Soon all industry
would be taxed the maximum rate, and
with rates already high and Mexican
sGlse. Low, the roads would put a burden
on the people.
Then President Disz stepped in. He
sent his finance minister, VI. Linantour,
to New York to borrow sl2, 500, 600 and
with a part OF this sum he bought
enough shares OF the National railroad
TO give him d controlling interest. The
Mexican congress ratified the purchase,
and the Mexican government became
the controlling stakeholder Of the most
powerful railway system in The country.
The president thus made a good / n vest
ment Tor the country, a monopoly was
prevented, and the people are not CON-
ened TO pay excessive railroad rates.
