NO MORE MONOPOLY
ON TnE IsTHMus.

The policy Of the Roosevelt Admin
~istration with regard to the Panama
Railroai, as announced by Secretary
Taft. may break up the monopoly long
enjoyed by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, and will begin an era Of free
c ,mpetition on the Isthmus. says the
Sacramento Bee. No Determinations
win be permitted by the Government in
favor of any steamship line or shipper.
And the charges will be. not all the
traffic will bear, but only enough to pay
the cost of carriage Of goods and a rea-
sonable return ON the Government in
vestment. Furthermore. the Govern
ment will keep in service between New
York and Colon the three steamships
owned by the Panama Railroad Com
and fix their freights on the
same basis as the charges by rail.
While the Secretary says the Govern
ment has no authority to put on steam
ships to ply between Panama n San
Francisco, he makes plain its policy to
discourage monopoly. SO far as its
powers extend.
This is all highly satisfactory to the
psople of the United States, and parti-
calarly to California, which has long
suffered from exclusive traffic arrange
ments on the Isthmus. made in the
interests of transcontinental roads. The
effect of the new conditions should
o be seen in reduced through
rates on freight between the Atlanti
seaboard and California. by way OF
Colon and Panama.
That little railroad on the lsthmus
bids fair to open the eyes Of the people
of this country to the advantages OF
Government ownership. 1t will be an
object lesson of the difference between
a public utility run for private profit
and the same managed with an eye
single to the general good.
1t is true that the Panama road is to
lie operated merely as IN incident to
the canal enterprise, having been ac-
auired as part of the property OF
the French Canal Company. But
vet the policy adopted by the
Administration is just what would
be expected in the event OF Gov.
ern ment ownership of transcontinental
systems, which is sure to come.
