menu control adjusted in the direction of impeding the general development of the community. Here there is eternal vigilance, ceaseless effort, on the part of hundreds of traffic man. agers with a free hand. directed to making things move onto developing the traffic, to causing two blades of grass to grow where one grew before. There the effort is just as constantly made by centralized rate-making au- thority to meet the predominant po- litical pull; to protect vested inter- ests, to keep things in the status quo. Europe marvels at the stupendous growth of the United States. We take it for granted; and, being badly advised, blindly propose national legis- lation on the European model.'
 Whether or not one agrees with Prof Meyer in all of his conclusions, it can not be denied that bis study of the subject has been careful and compre- hensive, that it's results are presented in vigorous and readily-understood language, and that it is most impor- | tant contribution to the discussion of rate regulation.
